Offices have been sought, and his eff

IRE of the peace conference are unre-
hitting.
Early in the day the president had
an extended conference with Baron
Kaneko, the recognized confidential
agent of the japanese government in
this country. Neither the president nor
Baron Keneko would discuss the ma
ture of the interview. While the
baron's expressed views of the peace
negotiations were not optimistic, he
left a distinct impression that the last
word by no means had been spoken
and that hope of a successful issue of
the conference still was strong.
Both Of the belligerents, he said, de-
sired p~eace-Japan peace with justice,
Russia peace with honor. He added
that Japan had no wish to do anything
to humiliate Russia. but expressed the
belief that the Japanese terms were
quite reasonable and that no further
concessions would be made.
After the departure of Baron Kaneko
President Roosevelt was engaged with
Acting Secretary Barnes for two hours
in the consideration of dispatches re-
ceived and III the preparation Of those
to be sent.
The disclaimer of the Russian for
eign Office of the statement purporting
to have been made by Count Lams-
dorff, minister for foreign affairs, de-
claring that Russia would pay nc in
demnity to Japan under any guise or
make any cession of territory was re-
ceived by the president with satisfac-
ton. 1t Indicated no willingness on the
part of Russia to accede to Japan's
terms as to indemnity, but the dis
claimer is regarded as leaving the way
open for further discussion of terms
that may lead to Il satisfactory conclu-
sion of the conference.

WENT UNDER
OYSTER BAY.
President Roosevelt Goes Down
in the Submarine Boat Plung-
Grinder Fifty Minutes.
GREATLY IMPRESSED

OYSTER BAY, n. Y, Aug. 90
President Roosevelt made a descent in
Long Island sound on board the sub
marine torpedo boat Plunger. He was
aboard the vessel about three hours.
At one time the little boat was sub
merged for fifty minutes and in that
time was put through all of the subma-
rlne feats of which she is capable.
The president expressed his delight
at the novel experience and said that
he was immensely impressed with the
boat and with the manner in which she
was handled.
In thus Drawing the dangers of sub
marine m~aneuvering the president has
endeared himself to naval officers and
men the world over and made Lieuten-
ant Charles II. Nelson, commander Of
the Plunger, the proudest and happiest
man in the United States navy.
AS soon as the president entered the
boat the manholes We're closed, and,
conveyed by the naval tender Apache,
the Plunger started for the sound. No
maneuvers were attempted until the
vessel was well beyond the entrance to
the bay. A stiff northeast breeze kick
ed up a heavy sea in the sound, but the
Plunger behaved beautifully. The wa
ter where the trial took place is about
forty feet deep.
After the vessel reached the neces-
sary depth of water she was directed
downward until she rested ON the bot
tom of the sound. Then the mechanism
of the craft was explained minutely to
Ii president by Lieutenant Nelson, SO
that he afterward experienced no diff
Guilty in understanding the maneuvers
which were performed.
While the president thus was resting
on the bottom of the sound in a subma-
rine boat a storm forty feet above him
was raging unnoticed- The rain de
scended in torrents, and the northeast
er whipped the surface of the water in
to big rollers, but it was as quiet and
peaceful where the president sat as in
Il parlor.
Explanations of the working of the
vessel having been completed, Lieuten-
ant Nelson began to put her through
her PAGES. From the bottom porpoise
diving was tried-that is, the boat
would ascend to the surface of the
sound for several seconds, long enough
to enable her commander to sight any
warship that might be in view, and
then dive again immediately. After
this maneuver had been repeated a
few times the Plunger was sent down
a distance of twenty feet below the
surface and her engines stopped.
Then the engines were reversed and
the boat assembled to the surface back
wards. Lieutenant Nelson made his
boat perform the remarkable feat of
diving to n depth of twenty feet and
while going mt full speed at that
depth reversing her course. The com
plete turn occupied only IN minute.
subsequently the engines were stopped
and the vessel was submerged to a
depth of twenty feet. There she was
kept motionless, a demonstration of
her ability to remain in that position
for hours while waiting an opportunity
to launch II of her torpedoes at Il
vessel of a blockading squadron which
might be passing or repassing a given
