McGrew Of the White House stenograph-
ers, who yesterday was at Portsmouth, N.
H, on mission for President Roosevelt
in connection with the peace conference,
returned to Oyster Bay today. Whether
he brought back with him a communica-
ton from the Russian ENJOYS could not be
ascertained for the reason that the official
denial that he was in Portsmouth is still
adhered to.
The President again today was in COM
munication with Assistant Secretary of
State Peirce at Portsmouth, but no inti-
nation Of the nature of the messages trans
mitted was given.
The greater part of today will be de-
voted by the President to receiving VS.
itors. None, however. who has an engage
ment with him for today has any connec-
ton with the peace negotiations.
A luncheon party was the feature OF the
day at the Presidents home. Among those
present were Maj. Gen. George w. Davis,
former governor Of the isthmian canal zone;
Francis E. Leupp, commissioner Of Indian

MEYER CALLED ON THE CAR.
Audience With Emperor Concerned
Peace Conclusion.

ST PETERSBURG. August 23-Mr
Meyer, the American ambassador, went this
afternoon to Peterhof. where he was re-
ceived in audience by the emperor. The
audience concerns the possible conclusion
of peace.
PORTSMOUTH. N. H., August 23.-The
Associated Press cable from St. Petersburg
announcing that Mr.. Meyer. the American
ambassador to Russia, had had an audience
of the emperor at Peterhof this morning is
considered here one of the most hopeful
signs which has thus far developed in con-
nection with the Presidents efforts to bring
the belligerents to compromise That the
President should have asked Mr. Meyer to
make a personal appeal to the emperor in
his name for it could be little less than
that. shows how terribly in earnest the
President is. And by those who understand
the situation at st. Petersburg the possible
good results of such a direct appeal are
fully appreciated. 1t was at such a per-
sonal audience with Mr.. Meyer that the en-
peror gave his consent to send plenipoten-
tiaries to the present conference.

BUFFALO, N. Y. August 23.-Reports OF
supreme officers were read and all the COM

Order of Foresters. The report of Supreme
Chief Ranger Kelly showed an increase in

loss in membership.
He recommended an increase in the per

would cost 10000, leaving deficit OF 5000.

PEACE TERMS COMMENT
FEELING OF CONFIDENCE RE-
STORED AT PARIS OVER REPORTS

PARIS, August 23.-Reports from Ports
mouth today indicating prospects of mu-
tual concessions restored the feeling of con-
fiderce in official and financial circles. The
bourse showed some notable Improvement
from the sudden slump of yesterday. Rus
sian securities were in active demand from
the start, fours showing an advance Of 40
centimes. The appearance of the Russian
bank statement also favorably Influenced
the situation. This shows that the debit
balance of the government to the bank has
been replaced by a government credit Of
$14, $40 GOO as the result of the last interior
loan. s.' .-..->
Premier Rouvier arrived this morning,
having suspended his holiday oattend the
meeting of the cabinet tomorrow. How
ever, the officials announce that this Is not
connected with the conference at Ports
mouth, as the government is scrupulously
leaving the negotiations with the plenipo-
tentiaries and President Roosevelt.
The return of Mr.. Mccormick. the Ameri-
can ambassador, tomorrow will probably
lead to an informal discussion of the Sit
uation at Portsmouth between him and M.
Rouvier, but, owing to the entire absence
Of instructions from Washington, no active
steps are contemplated
Special dispatches from French newsppera
correspondents at Portsmouth, while they
continue to be pessimistic, quote one of the
Japanese plenipotentiaries as giving express
sion to his extreme commence IN the sue
cess of the negotiations This unnamed
plenipotentiary declares that Japan is ready
to make concessions If Russia will recipro-
cate with equivalent concessions. He adds
the hope that when the war shall have been
determined, Japan, France and Great
Britain will establish an entente for the
mutual guarantees of their possessions in
the far east.
Berlin Opinion.
RERIIN August 23-The foreign office
looks upon the possibilities of peace as
more favorable today than they were yes
terday, but no predictions are ventured. The
increase of confidence rests upon indica-
tions Of Japanese forbearance and upon
President Roosevelts influence, which is
felt at both Tokyo and St. Petersburg. Re-
ports from st. Petersburg, however, are
not hopeful
The Russian government might admit all
points except payment of the japanese war
expenses, but the foreign office has been
informed from ST. Petersburg that Russia
will NOT consent to pay one rouble in the
form OF indemnity.
The bourse today felt the influence of Lon
dOn'S great optimism.
