CRISIS IS APPROACHING
Whether Peace is to Be Effected Will
Soon be Known.

Oyster Bay, n. Y. Aug. 25.-A cri-
sis in the peace negotiations Is ap-
proaching rapidly. Whether there is
to be peace between Russia and Jap
an or a continuance of the war will
be determined very likely within a
few days.
Since he made his direct appeal to
Emperor Nicholas, President Roose-
welt has been awaiting developments
hopeful that such efforts as he felt
proper to make to avert a failure of
the Washington conference might not
be futile. Yesterday those develop
ments began to appear
Areport from Ambassador Meyer at
St. ePtersburg of his audience with
Emperor Nicholas was received. and
in addition some important advices
from Portsmouth reached the Presi-
dent. They were regarded as so urg-
ent that as soon as they were received
i'm the executive offices in the village
they were carried to Sycamore Hill
by a trusted executive clerk.
1t is quite certain now that in ad-
dition to making a direct appeal to
the Russian Emperor to take such
measures as may bring the pending
negotiations to a successful issue,
President Roosevelt has communicated
with the japanese government along
similar lines. Whether that appeal
was made directly to the Emperor of
Japan, as in the case of Emperor
Nicholas. cannot be ascertained. as
no official confirmation is given OF the
statement that such a communication
has been forwarded
An impression is likely to be Gre
ated by some recent reports OF the
Presidents activity I'm the peace pro-
lceedings that he is exerting the pow
erful influence he wields to force the
ENJOYS into some sort of agreement.
No such impression is warranted by
the efforts he has made
