The Peace Negotiations.

Portsmouth, n. H., Aug. 24.-The
negotiations between the plenipoten-
tiaries of Japan and Russia have be-
gun in earnest. All that has gone
before is to all intents and purposes pre-
liminary to the final engagement which
began at yesterdays session. From now
on it will be a question of bargaining.
Money, money" is Japan's cry. "Not
a kopeck," is Russia's response.
Japan will not view with favor any
notifications Of her peace demands that
include the sale of part or all of Sagha-
lin, and the waving of the claim for
reimbursement for war expenses.
Ishikwa, editor of the Hochi Shumbun
Of Toxic, the organ ofCount Okuma, the
former prime minister of Japan, has re-
ceived a cable from his paper making
such an announcement. 1t was in res
ponse to message sent by him last
night, relative to the japanese proposals.
1t asked for and expression of opin-
ion. The reply is as follows
"The terms as cabled by you are such
that no japanese statesman can accept
them. Saghalin is a vital necessity to
the japanese people and cannot be divi-
ded. About 10 years ago Russia pro-
posed to divide Saghalin, but the Jap
anese government would not agree to a
division and it urged that the island as a
whole belonged to Japan. We could
not now give up any part of the island.
You state that the indemnity will be
less than 81, 900, 100000 That will not
meet our cost of the war. We do not like
the attitude Of the Russians, and if Rus
STA maintains her present attitude it is
very doubtful if there will be peace in
the Orient. We must fight for the just
and lasting peace of the East"
Count Okuma, one of the great states
men of Japan, is the political rival of
the present prime minister, and the gov
eminent party in power.
st. Petersburg, Aug. 24.-The For
eign Office announces that the peace sit
uation is improving and that the outlook
is brighter, but that all the difficulties of
efIecting an adjustment of differences
have not yet been overcome. The Ameri-
can Ambassador, Mr.. Meyer, is making
daily visits to Peterhof, to consult with
the Gar. 1t is presumed these calls
have an important bearing upon the
negotiations. The reactionary press con.
tinues its lingo utterances. These papers
now take the stand that the United
States gave the impetus to the peace
movement because it is feared that if the
war continues Japan would not be able
to pay her creditors.
