CZ4R'S COUNCIL NOT OYER.
No indication an st. Petersburg That
Peace Is at Al Likely.

ST Petersburg Jan S.-The conferences which
Emperor Nicholas has been holding with men,
bers of the Council of the Empire, NJ Witte and
other Ministers and advisers on the internal ana
external situation have not yet been concluded
but nothing has occurred which would indicate
that the government is prepared to depart from
its present plan to continue the war TO the bit
ter end
Nevertheless. talk of peace was heard Sunday
in many quarters. This was ascribed TO Foreign
Minister Lamsdorfs alleged position in favor of
such course on the ground that aside from
the humiliation TO military prestige involved. it
would only mean the REIMBURSEMENT of Man
churia 10 which Russia already is formally
pledged. There is no confirmation OF this state
ment of Count Lamsdorfs position beyond the
general knowledge that he always has belonged
10 the peace party. 1t is probable that the
peace talk has been produced by the arrival of
foreign papers. it receives no encouragement
in responsible quarters here.
The belief which existed in exceptionally well
informed diplomatic circles that Japan would
follow the fall of Port Arthur with moderate
Ieace propositions has not been realized Up to
the present time nothing has reached the gov
ernment, either through the United States or
any other channel. Diplomats here cannot
formulate the outlines of a treaty which at this
juncture both the beliigerents could accept but
unless it is rejected outright not entertain
able, negotiations would be opened and negotia-
tions once entered on, friends of both parties
could use their good offices to bring about terms
This is the only hope for a termination of the
war which diplomats can see.
Solemn services in honor of those who fell in
the defence of Port Arthur were held on Sunday
at the Kazan Cathedral and the Troitka Mon
astery. The services passed off without demon
stration Of any sort Neither the Emperor nor
members Of the imperial family were present. A
requiem was held simultaneously in the chapel
at Tsarskoe Selo.
Although Field Marshal Oyama took pains to
formally communicate the news OF the fall Of
Port Arthur TO General Kuropatkn. the an
| nouncement has not yet been made 10 the army
in Manchuria, or at least no mention is made in
dispatches from the front of the manner in
which the news was received there. One curious
dispatch spoke of a big celebration Of New
Years Day along the japanese lines, the Rus
slams evidently mistaking jubilaton over Cen
eral StoesseTs surrender for New Years festiv-

PAYS $4,000 TO RECTOR EMERITUS
Grace-Emmanuel Church Thus Obtains His
esignation-Increase Mortgage.

Grace Emmanuel Episcopal Church. East One
hundred Third-ave. has just
had 10 add $4,000 to the mortgage on the church
property to make a settlement with its rector
emeritus and obtain his resignation. The mortgage
was $25OO0 not long ago, and by hard work it had
been reduced TO 5000. Now it is increased to
a7,0O0.
The transaction is explained in the current num-
Der Of the parish paper. which states that, about
ten years ago. when Grace and Emmanuel churches
were consolidated. the Rev. D. Branerd Ray was
rector of the former church, and became rector
emeritus OF the church. to be known Grace
Emmanuel. By the act of consolidation the rector
emeritus to receive $1,000 year. For some
three years after the consolidation Mr.. Ray served
the parish he able. but for reasons best
known 10 himself and over which the rector or
Vestry of the church had no control Mr.. Ray
severed his connections with the work of the
church. and for some years has not ofdciated in
any capacity rector emeritus the account says.
For years the vestry has been unable to pay
Mr.. Rays salary. There was due him about $1,000
back salary and interest. Last July he made for-
NAL demand for payment. The advice of Bishop
decided to pay Mr.. Ray $4,000 and that he should
give release to the veStry for all claims on the
church for the past present and future, and the I
payment Of this sum he should cease to be the
rector emeritus Of Grace Emmanuel Church. This
proposition was accepted by Mr.. Ray, and the
money paid TO him.
II is asserted that Mr.. Rays claim was a Just
one and that by making this settlement the parish
has really saved money
Mr. Ray is at present minister in charge of the
Church Of the Resurrection at Hopewell Junction,
