goes beyond what had been expected
that 1t would, and instead of being a
declination purely it is understood to
to, be SO, framed as to furnish basis
for further negotiation. Whether
this will be OF one days duration or
a dozen fs-but mere conjecture. But
from the frame of mind Of the two
governments as indicated by, the de.
velopments of the past forty-eight
hours, there is excellent ground for
the belief that neither OF them desires
to break OF negotiations at this time.
The answer was not received until
late yesterday evening. For that rea.

hour of meeting had been fixed, al.
though when the conference adjourn-
