DEEP soLroITUDE PREVAILS.
French 0mcials Not Optimistic as t
 TComference

French Onicials Not Optimistic as to
 Conference.
 Paris, Aug. 22.-A feeling of deep so- licitude prevails concerning the crisis at Portsmouth which officials expect will continue for some days pending the last desperate efforts to avert c rupture.
 The view in official quarters took a discouraging turn, apparently as the salt of confidential advices through official Russian sources. The Bourse today at first showed surprising buoy ancy, Russian fours opening at an ad- vance of 25 centimes, but later discour- aging advices for the first time dis pelled the optimistic feeling of the market and caused a general decline.
 Shortly before the close Russians and other securities were heavily offered ami the closing was weak This was in marked contrast to the steady sent iment of confidence heretofore prevail ing. Financiers continue hopeful that President Roosevelt will find a way to prevent a renewal of the war, but at the same time they say that a contin- uance of the war will not seriously af- feet the market, owing to the fact that Russia has enough balance in Paris from the last loan to carry on opera tions for several months. Neverthe- less, the uncertainties of the situation have produced a feeling of nervous ap- prehension throughout official financial and diplomatic quarters.

At the very moment when one of the Russian officials issues a statement that the crops are poor in only few prov inces and that they are from good to excellent in the greater part of the country, the Central Statistical Com mittee, which is a governmental bu- reau. announces that the harvest is a complete failure in forty-one out of sixty provinces in European Russia, and in i've provinces failures are inter- spersed locally with barely sufficient crops. In many other provinces the re- suits are similarly mixed, and good crops are expected only in six Polish and four Russian provinces. The pros pects for the coming winter are appall- ing.

Wlttn nnh Preafdent.

Portsmouth. N. H., Aug. 22.--M. Witte and Baron De Rosen were with MT. Pierce at the navy yard from 10:30 a. m. to l:10 D. m., which is believed to make 1t possible that the Russian plen- ipotentiaries were in communication with the President at Oyster Bay, eith- CT directly or through Mir. Pierce.
 The supposition is that messages sent by the President were the result of Baron Kaneko's visit to Oyster Bay yesterday. Upon their return to the hotel both Nj. Witte and Baron De Rosen declined to discuss the subject of their mysterious visit to the navy yard. :.- h. ...'-
 The messenger from President Roose- welt was named McGaw. He brought message in writing from the Pres ident for the Russian envoys.
 Mir McGaw. the Presidents special messenger, took the 3:05 train from Portsmouth to Oyster Bay. Mir. McGaw was absolutely non- -committal as to his errand and also declined to say wheth- CT he bore a message from the Russian envoys to the President. The arrange ments for the reception of the Presi- dents message was completed last night. Secretary Pierce occupied a room at the Rockingham Hotel for the purpose. When Mir. McGaw arrived he was at once ushered to the apartment of Secretary Pierce and there his mes sage was delivered Mir. Pierce accom- panied by Mir. McGaw at once set out for the navy yard where an appoint ment had been made with NJ Witte and Baron de Rosen and the message was formally presented to the Russians.
