NEW YORK, Aug. -Well-inform.
cd banking interests are of the opin-
ion that the treaty of peace between
Russia and japan will soon be follow
cd by Russian loan and with another
later by Japan. The extent OF these
loans will depend largely upon the
provisions of the agreement between
the two countries. Bankers believe
that Russia will make liberal compen-
sation to Japan although this may be
provided for in separate understand.
ing. IL is known that Russia has
made all preparations for placing part

Expresses Qualification at Peaceful So
luton of Questions at Issue In
Portsmouth Conference.

OYSTER DAY, Aug. 20.-President
Roosevelt received the news In his IL
brnry ut Sycamore Hill. He was ell
gagged at the very moment on some
matters with Secretary Loeb regarding
the peace negotiations. The intima-
ton of the agreement came to him
from the Associated Press in the form
of Il bulletin announcing that tho en-
voys had agreed OH all points which
hitherto had been the subject of DIFF
fercnccs.
While the president had been hope
iul that such un agreement would be
reached he was surprised that 1t had
como today. His belief had been that
the arrangement, if made at oil, would
not be made probably before tomor-
row.
He expressed to his family his graft
iication that peaceful solution of the
differences had been reached He ex-
ctscd himself, however, from making
any statement formal in it's nature re-
garding the action Of the conference
until he should have been informed or

the discussion of the American pro-

permanent international parliament
Count Albert Apponyi, representing
Austria Hungary, spoke In support CT
the principle of the American plan,

the scheme required mature considcra-
ton.
NO international parliament" the
count said, has any chance of nc

American idea of an international pal-
lament to precisely define intcrna-
tional law is grand and bold move

iiativc, but American boldncss must
be combined with European caution. ;,
Count Apponyi closed his remarks
by moving the reference of the promo.
sition TO committee with instr,,c-
