determined to go on with great war as an agency for collecting tribute
 A theory held by some observers is that since he came nere M. Wittes s instructions from his government have been changed; that, whereas he was at first authorized to pay $200,00O,oOO or $500 100000 in the form indica- ted, the Czar, working under the in- fiuence of the war party at St. Peters burg, Is not willing now to pay any thing whatever for peace. If this the-- ory be correct, of course there can be no treaty. But no one in authority be- lfeves it possible the Czar has thus changed his attitude and intruded into the negotiations that unexpected ele- ment which means nothing less than decision to go on with the war at all costs.

Now that Japan has placed her conces- sions on the table Russia takes them under consideration. Various mem bers of the Russian mission here de- clare, in statements published with out their names attached, that the new proposition is only the old terms in a disguised form, Is a new dress here as to what instructions M. witte has received from the Czar concern ing the answer which 1s 10 be given, presumably, on Saturday. But through a press telegram from St. Petersburg. Count Lamsdorf, the minister of for eign affairs, is represented as saying Russia will not pay a dollar of in- demnity, directly ordndirectly, and will not cede a foot of territory. This statement has been the subject of much comment here today. There are various theories concernings Its appli- cability.
 One is that the game of sparring for points is still being played; that just as NJ Witte's clever tactics here in drawing concessions of importance from Japan, so a further employ ment of the same tactics may draw out still further concessions. The Russian theory may we'll be that if Japan could be induced to throw off 80, 40 or 50 per cent from her origi- nal demands she may now be induced to cut the second demands In like or greater proportion.
 From the Japanese standpoint the Russian tactics of this hour are a It, tie surprising. There is no indication of that adherence to the underlying principle of mutuality or concession which the Japanese government relied upon as a result of President Roosevelt intercession. On this point President Roosevelt Is him self addressing the Czar through Ambassador Meyer. The Japanese are somewhat nett1ed over what looks at first blush like Russian attempt to force them into a corner, and to intimldate them into abandon ment of their entire claim for money payment. But they do not believe the attempt Is made in good faith nor with determination to play the game out to the end. They still regard 1t as a maneuver to secure a cheap settle ment.
 Neutral observers do not question the right of Russia 10 play her game in her own way. It is within her right to outmaneuver her antagonist if she can. and, if possible. to put Japan in the awkward position of a nation

Among the prophets of pessimism there is tonight strong belief that Saturdays session will be the last ot the conference and that 1t will break up in rupture. have excellent req sons for saying that nothing of the sort is likely to happen. This stage of the proceedings is precisely what might have been expected and which was fore told in the dispatches. Both govern ments and their envoys are showing themselves hard bargain drivers
 But with such slight differences be- tween them, differences not so much of principle as of relatively insignif- cant sums of moneey. peace on some terms Is certain in the end. I ain also convinced that-barring the possibility of a radical and militant change of pol icy on the part of the Czar, due, per- haps, to the influence of the German Emperor-counter proposals are to De made, and the negotiations will extend over a week or ten days from next Sat urday.

RUSSIANS BOUND
BY AGREEMENT I'D TAKE JAPAN's CONCESSION.
Walter weIlman Gives Inside History of Negotiations to show Why Pence Must Come--Envoys
 on Common fyasIs.

Walter wellman's Special to Chicago
 Record-Herald.
 It is now the privilege of your cor respondent to make highly important revelations concerning the underlying conditions of the peace negotiations. These are revelations which show why peace is coming and why all the 5tp- lomatic maneuvering for position and contradictory and pessimistic state ments inevitably incident to this bar gaining stage of the negotiations are to be taken with proper discount and allowance. These are facts as yet un- known to more than a dozen persons in America and which demonstrate be- yond all doubt that peace can fail now the world will regard as crime against humanity.
 In my first dispatch of Wednesday morning. which first announced. and announced correctly, that peace was assured, and gave the broad principles upon which 1t was to be based, I said that but for certain restrictions im- posed upon me additional facts could be disclosed. Some of those restrie- tions now have been removed, though not all of them. If all were removed this chapter of history In the mak- ing could be made even more import ant and decisive than it Is. Perhaps 1t Is wholly unnecessary to assure the reader that the statements made in these columns on Wednesday, which have been the subject of an "authori tative statement" partly confirmatory, partly explanatory and partly contra dictory, from one of the missions, were not made upon inference. not upon in- tuition or speculation. but on positive knowledge. It is precisely the same with what follows.

First--when Mir. Witte came to this conference he came authorized to pay to Japan, not as an indemnity" not as reimbursement of the cost of war" not for tribute" but for benefits re- ceived," for services rendered" or for property returned" large sum of money.
 second-The maximum of the sum Mir. Witte was authorized in his in structions from the Czar to pay, in this form and for this purpose, as one of the factors of the peace settlement, am able to state, approximately. It ap- breaches very closely to one-half of the S600, 100000 which the Japanese have demanded in their modified pro- posals.
 Third-Mr. wftte's instructions gave him authority, moreover, in making a settlement not to question too closely or to audit too scrupulously. as if it were purely business affair. any claim or claims which Japan might put forward for the care and keep of pris- oners or for other like items falling broadly within the category of admis- sible payments set by Russia. He was authorized, in other words, to view any such claims in generous and concilia- tory spirit as one of the methods of attaining peace.
 So much for the status up to the mo- ment the intercession of President Roosevelt introduced the second act of the great drama.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1905-08-27

Fourth--when Japan consented to make concessions. at the instance of President Roosevelt, 1t was with the distinct understanding on the part of the Japanese Government that the prin- ciple of concession was mutually as- scented to--that if Japan made import ant concessions to secure peace Russia was bound in principle to make conces- sions also for the same purpose and in like spirit.
 Flfth--When Japan came to this con- ference 1t was with demand for some thing like thousand million of dollars for reimbursement of the cost of the war and the cession or retention of the whole of the Island of Sakhalin. Re- spending to the Presidents mediary ef- forts, Japan virtually reduced her claims to one-half of the thousand mill lions and to one-half of the island.
 Sixth--Generous as was this cession, it is well known that the sum of $6o0.- 000,000 now formally asked as a basis of further negotiations can be sealed still further if Russia carries on the subsequent negotiations and bargaining in a like spirit of adherence to the prin- ciple of mutuality and conciliation.
 Seventh-Hence we reach the crux of the whole problem in this: Between the sum which Japan actually expects to receive and the sum which Russia is known to be willing to pay there is a difference of S150. .Ooo. .ooO. or. at most, $200, 900.
 Eighth-This is, speaking of vital things, the only difference between the two powers--one hundred and fifty or two hundred millions of money stand ing between peace and war. This is the only vital difference, because Sakhalin Is insignificant and because 1t could be. disposed of in five minutes were the other question out of the way.
 Ninth-There Is not even a difference of principal between the disputants, be- cause Japan is not now asking either indemnity" or "reimbursement," only broad and generous settlement of certain claims for services rendered or benefits conferred" the details of which can be easily worked out and which MT. Witte came here expecting to pay. ~# s:" # 4&..

Not a Commercial Quantity.

The Uruguay potato (Solanum COM
mersonii), which has attained consid-
cradle newspaper nOtoriety of late, has
been given some attention in this office
on account Of the disease resistant
qualities claimed for it. We have sue
ceeded in obtaining a few tuberS for
our own trials and have also become
acquainted with the results of several
experiments made last year with seed
introduced by our Office of seed and
plant introduction and distribution
Our representatives abroad have also
acquired some information regarding
it, We have, however, not been able
to secure any confirmation of it's mer-
itorious qualities. 1t is a wild variety
with very small tubers. Those that
we have had in this office have rarely
exceeded one inch in diameter They
are said to be bitter. The plant is very
stoloniferous quitting forth suckers),
and it is doubtful whether it is adapted
to our climate. The question Of disease
resistance also remains improved. Fur
ther use will be made OF the species
in our plant breeding work. We will
state to your readers that the plant
is not commercial quantity in any
sense Of the word that, aside from it's
possible value to plant breeders, it
possesses no interest whatever to any
farmer in this country; that there is
little or no seed on the market; that
seed is difficult to obtain from foreign
sources, and that the department has
no seed for distribution and no printed
information concerning it.-W. A. Or
