WANTS ANOTHER
HAGUE CONFERENCE
THE PRESIDENT WILL PROBABLY
REMIND THE POWERS OF HIS
SUGGESTION MADE TO THEM
LAST SPRING.

Washington. August 30.-It is regarded
here as probable that Immediately upon
the conclusion and final signature of the
treaty of peace between Russia and Japan
there will be renewed effort to secure
another meeting of The Hague confer
ence in accordance with President Roose-
velt's suggestion to the powers last
spring.
Following the original proposition for
a reassembling of the conference, the
President sent out a second circular note,
notifying the powers that In his judgment
further proceedings in connection with
the call should be left to the resident
council at The Hague. The state depart
ment has learned since then that nearly
all the powers addressed, while accept
ing the project qualified their acceptance
of the proposition with the statement that
the new conference should be deferred
until the conclusion of hostilities be-
tween Japan and Russia There the mat
ter has rested as far as the state de-
partment is advised, and II probably will
REQUIRE the issuance of a third circular
note to set the wheels In motion, and
bring about the desired conference.
ANY Of the signatory powers might feel
disposed to put forth such note. but
on the whole It is regarded as rather
more probable that President Roosevelt
will complete the movement he has nItia-
ted. and soon after Secretary Roots re-
turn to Washington the PresiderN will
advise him touching the issuance of the
necessary reminder.

Germans Forget Yellow Peril.

Berlin, August 3.-After the first SEN
sations of wonder and relief over the an
nouncement of peace, German observers
strive to readjust their conception of
the new relations of the powers brought
about by the peace. Russia's position
with a powerful neighbor, both east and
west, now becomes somewhat silitar to
Germany's.
Russia doubtless will maintain strong
army in the east, and thus relieve some-
what the weight of her numbers on the
western frontier. She will no longer be
feared as heretofore, because even aftep
the restoration Of her prestige and the or
ganization of her resources she will eveg
have Japan to watch and calculate upon.
The German government, according to
some of the best newspaper judges, Is
convinced that Japan may be expected
to remain quiet for many years II let
alone, and that she will peacefully develop
her new estate on the Asatic continent.
The yellow peril" seems to have largely
disappeared out of German thought

has taken place of the first feeling Of sur

atlvely President Roosevelt's fervent ap-
pal In behalf of the civilized world for
cessation of the useless and disastrous
war.
The hope had always prevailed here
since the President succeeded in bringing
the plenpotentiaries together that his
indomnltable perseverance would culmi-
nate in overcoming the difficulties which
would have caused any other man TO hesi-
tate. 1t was. however, not expected that
such a sudden and staggering climax
would be reached as that attained yes

hesitation to believe the truth. When
confirmation arrived, and the facts be-
came more widely known. unneasured
praise WAS accorded the inltiator of the
peace movement. the success of which
was recognized as the event of the Gems

grand victor. emerging covered with
glory from an almost hopeless, SINGLE

which his iron will had carried OF the
victory. His courage and indefatigabia
persistence Is the theme of excited con-
versation in every quarter today.
Praise for Roosevelt.
Everything the President of America
undertakes Is successful" was an excla-
nation frequently heard. The United
States also received a general nod OF
praise, the nation where the grand
achievement of the declaration of peace
was brought about. The moderation OF
the Japanese terms is widely commented
upon, and Japan's magnanimity is re-
garded as being the effect of President
Roosevelts direct appeal to Emperor
William In the name of humanity. His
answer is greeted with gratitude In both
hemispheres.

DRAMATIC SCENES
MARKED THE END
Russian Envovs Had little Hope
of Peace
SUSPENSE WAS FEARFUL
Waiting Secretaries Could Scarcely Be-
lleve Their Ears When M. Witte
Appeared and Announced
Peace to the World.
SUSPENSE WAS FEARFUL

Portsmouth, August 30.--Wonderfully
dramatic and tragic were the crcum-
stances at the naval stores building in
the navy yard yesterday when NJ. Witte
came from the secret conference room in
which peace was decided upon and made
the announcement to his secretaries. Upon
the word he was to utter to them de-
pended, perhaps, the immediate fate of a
hundred thousand lives. Every prepara-
ton had been made in St Petersburg and
at the front to continue the war The
military party was determined and Line
witch wanted to try conclusions with
Oyama.
If rupture had come the signal was
to be given to Lineyitch and an imperial
manifesto, already prepared, would have
been issued, proclaiming TO the Russian
people the impossibility of accepting the
conditions asked by Japan and calling
upu1 the Russian people to support the
Car and the government In Ats decision
not to pay tribute to the foe. Neither
M. Witte nor any member of the Rus
sian mission believed 1t possible that
Baron Komura, by giving way upon all
disputed points, would place 1t In the
power of the Russian plenipotentaries
acting within their Instructions, to con-
clude peace. Every preparation for de-
parture had been made. The Russians had
not only packed their trunks but a special
train had been engaged to take the party
to New York. M. Witte went to the
navy yard without hope that his adver-
saries would accept the ultmatum given
by the Car.

Secretaries Anxious.

His secretaries knew his decision and
1t can be imagined with what anxiety
they awaited In an adjoining room the
result of the secret conference. A code
had been arranged to cover the contin-
gency of rupture and II the fatal words
were uttered when M. Wltte emerged from
the room one of the secretaries was to
go hastily to the private telephone which
connected directly with Russian headquar-
ters. announce the rupture, which was to
be cabled instantly to ST. Petersburg,
and flashed along to Manchuria as the
signal for Lineyitch to attack.
The phrase agreed upon was conven-
tional one. For almost an hour the sec
retaries waited their nerve at high ten
sion. Suddenly the door was thrown open
and M Witte stepped out. His face was
flushed. He seemed to pe restraining him
self as he advanced. The secretaries
held their breath until suddenly he stop

death to those far away on the battlefield
