Portsmouth, N. H., Aug 22.-Anoth
 CT glimpse of hope The meeting o1
 the peace plenipotentiaries, which was
 to have been held this afternoon, has been postponed until tomorrow morn
 ing at 9:3O. The official reason as signed for this change of program was that the secretaries had not yet com pleted the work of drafting the pro tocols for submission for the sigma. lures of the plenipotentiaries. This is true, but there is more patent req son. NJ. Witte bas not yet received the final word from St Petersburg. It was expected this morning; it did not come, and therefore with NJ. Witte's authorization, MT Plancon. who was hard at work upon the Russian pro. tocol went to Mir Sato, the Japanese secretary, and suggested the postpone ment. Baron Komura approved and the announcement was issued.
 As the situation now stands NJ. Witte could not if he would cede or compromise on either article five tSak- halin), or article nine Cindemnityl. The instructions given him by the emperor before he left St Petersburg precluded the possibility of either and 1t can be stated that up to the present hour every message he has received, indi- rectly or directly, from his emperor shows no sign of any change of mind. And from the private advices the ad- visors whom the emperor is consulting seem practically unanimous in sup port of the view that further conces- sions are inconsistent with Russia's .dignity and honor" and that unless Japan is prepared to yield something substantial, not upon articles ten or eleven, but upon articles five and nine. 1t Is better to continue the war.
 Although 1t seems to be hoping against hope, there is still a possibility that the emperor will take Presidents Roosevelt's advice and take the only step which the president thinks can save the conference from shipwreck. The presidents suggestion Is not gen eral and vague. but quite concrete. If 1t is finally rejected it is said not to involve specific answer, but M. Witte is anxious that the emperor shall have full time to deliberate. and the Japanese have no desire to force the issue. They will welcome few days delay if the delay keeps the door to peace open.
 There is strong intimation that the Japanese are prepared to make pro- position when the conference reassem- bles. But there is nothing to indicate that they are prepared to recede on either articles five or nine. Articles ten and eleven they might forego, but that would hardly bring peace nearer Five and nine remain now, as at the the seemingly insurmounta. ble obstacles to peace

ANOTHER RAY OF HOPE
 HAS BEEN REVIVED.
Postponement of the Conference Until To-horrow- Awaiting Word From the Czar-hysterious Con- ferences Held in Which President Roosevelt is Interested

The four men picked up by the Fora to seek a coast settlement where pro- visions could be obtained. The Fora returned to succor the shipwrecked sealers, but when the landing place was reached the Russians opened fire on the boats. It was learned that the fourteen shipwrecked sealers had been killed and the Tora's sailors were driven back to their vessel with tour dead and four wounded. The Fora then returned to Hakodate with the dead and wounded.
 ,RUSSIA'S PLAN CONDEMNED.
 New York. Aug PA meeting of the Russian Revolutionary league was held last night on the east side to dis cuss the ukase issued Saturday by Emperor Nicholas. About 300 Rus sians were present. All the speakers strongly condemned the new Russian plan and characterized 1t as ruse to gain the sympathy of other constitu- honal governments.
 Dr Schitlovsky, one of the principal speakers, said:
 This so-called plan to give the peo- pie a voice in the government has three drawbacks. First, those who are called to serve in the zemstvo are re- quired to swear allegiance to the au- tocracy; second, all those who wish to vote are required to hold a certain amount of this worlds goods. This sounds small to Americans, but ill Russia it is large amount and will shut out many thousands from voting. Third, a majority of two-thirds is necessary to pass any measure. In Russia there is an old law which gives the autocracy the right to overrule Ewo-thirds majority, so where does the power of the people lie?''
 A meeting of avowed anarchists was held last night in another hall to dis ,uss the 1kase. Police were scattered through the crowd and guarded the loors to prevent persons from entering liter the seats had all been occupied
 Speeches of an incendiary type were delivered from the beginning of the meeting. Emperor Nicholas was sub- ected to torrents of abusive lan- ,uage and threats also were made that he United States will soon undergo an lnarchistic revolution. A police sergeant commanding the | letail in the hall quickly stopped the trade by sending word to the man. gers that if further riotous talk were | ndulged in arrests would be made.

CLAIMS OF JAPAN.

Tokio, Aug 22.-The Jiji, in com menting upon the proceedings at the Portsmouth peace conference, to-day says:
 .'The cession of the Island of Sak- halin and the reimbursement of the cost of the war are the vital points of our demands, and leave no room for any compromise. The moderation and reasonableness of these demands will be admitted, even by France. should the attempt to promote peace fail; the responsibility will rest with Russia, not with Japan. If the Russians re- fuse to accept the proposed terms it will be advisable for our delegates to withdraw and tell them that the next meeting will be in Tokio."
 The Asahi says:
 .'The war has won a constitution for the Russian people," It declares that Japan is fighting the Russian govern ment and does not entertain any ill feeling toward the oppressed subjects of the Russian emperor. It expresses the belief that all true Russians must hold some appreciation of what Japan has accomplished for them.

THE PRICE or REDEMPTION
Is THE BLOOD OF CHRIST

Rev. j. A. Scarritt at the Methodist
Church took for his text the following:
Titus 214. Who gave Himself for
us that he might redeem us from all
iniquity and purify unto Himself a
peculiar people jealous Of good
works.
An eminent commentator has said
that few portions of the New Tesla.
ment excel this chapter 1t may well
form the creed system of ethics and
text book of every christian preacher.
In this second chapter Of Titus we
find what is to be believed what Is to
be practiced and what Ia to be preach
ed In this 14th verse we have by
statement ami plain inference an
epitome Of the Gospel plan and pur-
pose, It's author, or its fnisher It's
meaning IL redemption Its source Is
found in its comparison of God. God
so loved etc The redemption price
Is the blood of Christ. hence "ye are
not your own, but bought with a
price" This redemption Is not only
by purchase so that we are delivered
from condemnation, bur we are saved
by power from the bondage Of sin and
death, Paul male no apology for be-
ing a christian, though not popular.
1t was to the Jews a stumbling block
and the Greeks foolishness. But He
gave a reason for not being ashamed
of It, For It's the power of God unto
salvation to everyone that believeth. =
Looking again at the text we find
that this redemption not only gives
pardon. but also purity and peace
THE wisdom that is from above IL
first pure then poaceable'
The mission Of Jesus, then. is to the
world and TO us that He may "purif,
unto himself a peculiar people zealou:
of good works.
This accomplished in us gives re

form and teaching of a parable.
/ To the awakening of new life In
the soul, to the work Of regeneration
man can make no contribution. Dead
in trespasses and sin man is Just as
inactive as the wlthered hand of the
afflicted man. The grace of salvation
Is altogether from the divine side in
this initial step towards salvation. The
call Of tho gospel is fraught with pow

call and authority OF God The desire
and impulse to obtain the healing
grace is the result of this call, ilIumin
