Additional advices tend to strength.
en- the belief that the establishment
of a protectorate over Korea is the
subject under consideration.
But there is well defined impres.
sion that the particular phase of the
subject relates to the rights of Rus
sian subjects in the territory about
which the discussion treats.
The progress made in the delibera.
tions indicates that it is possible that
a final determination of the matter
may be reached before adjournment
tomorrow.
Portsmouth, N H., Aug. 13-There
was striking difference in the man
ner in which the ENJOYS and members
of their suites spent the Sabbath. For
the Russians it was religious services
or recreation; for the japanese, work
and church attendance.
The japanese ENJOYS and their as
sistants were astir early. Baron Ko-
mura and Minister Takahira had ex-
pected to attend religious service at
Christ church, in Portsmouth, but de-
lay in the arrival of their automobile
deferred their visit until later.
The arrangement had been to hold
conference of the ENJOYS at 3 o'clock
today at the navy yard. But II was
declared off. Whether the representa-
tiVes of the two governments felt that
such haste was unnecessary, or wheth-
er they desired to recognize the Puri-
tanic New England sentiment against
the transaction Of business on the first
day of the week is not known and can
not be told.
Be that as it may, exchanges during
the morning resulted in the posting of
the following notice: by mutual
agreement of the plenipotentiaries of
Russia and Japan, 1t has been decided
to postpone this afternoons meeting
until tomorrow at $3.50 a. m.
The announcement was hailed with |
delight by the large force of correspon- |
dents, who have been on almost con-
stant watch from early morning until
midnight each day since the arrival |
of the peace commissioners. 1t meant
brief and agreeable respite.
After a late breakfast and an early |
dinner the japanese ENJOYS repaired |
to their apartments and directed the
work of the members of their suite, |
who were engaged in preparing copies |
Of documents TO be used at Mondays !
session.
Messages for transmission to Toxic |
were put into code form. The private
wire in the japanese Offices was kept |
in operation almost the entire day. 1t |
was not until tea time that the Japa-
nese members appeared among the
throngs in the lobby.
The Russian envoys and the mem
bers Of their suite breakfasted at Q !
o'clock in their private apartments. |
Upon their return from church serv-
ices, which they attended at Christ !
church, Portsmouth, Baron Rosen and |
M. Wltte took an early dinner and !
started for Magnolia, Mass, where the
Russian embassy is located for the |
summer. It was too long trip for an |
afternoon, and they started home be-
fore they had gone half way.
The hotel throughout the day was a |
center Of gaiety, and sightseers from |
nearby resorts came over in their au-
tomobiles and other conveyances and |
gazed with interest upon the distin-
guished foreigners.
DENOUNCE REPORT AS FAKE.
Portsmouth, NJ H., Aug. 13-The
Japanese and Russian ENJOYS are
much exercised tonight over the state
ment that M. Whites argument rela-
tive to Japans preponderance of in
terest in Korea is being made public.
NJ. Witte himself denies emphatically
the authenticity of such publication
and both M. Plancon for the Russians
and A. Sato for the Japanese de.
nounce it as fake.
