 The friends of William c. Bryant of Brooklyn, N. Y., were saddened, last week, to learn of his decease in sani- tarium in Plainfield, N. J. MT Bryant's cheerful face has been seen here for nearly 25 summers and his full hearty voice will long be remem- bered by those he has greeted here whenever met in most satisfactory manner. His life while here has been repeatedly checkered with sorrow by acts of Providence beyond mans or physicians control but not until after the decease of his second wife, last summer, in Marketable, did the writer notice a weakening of his fine physi. cal frame or a shattering of those nerves which had borne him through deep af1lictions. He passed away al the age of 55 years without an enemy known here, respected and loved by all who knew him.

RUSSIA is FIRM.
She Will Yield Neither Sakhaiin nor
an Indemnity.

St. Petersburg, Aug. 19.-As the
time approaches for the playing of
the last cards at Portsmouth there is
manifested here among certain high
officials and by the press and public
the unmistakable conviction that
Russia will not yield on the points of
paying an indemnity, as such, or of
absolutely ceding SalIhalm to Japan.
The Associated Press can state au-
thoritatively that Emperor Nicholas
the day previous to the announcement
of the new national assembly was
resolved that he would not accede to
Japan's demand on either of these
points, and furthermore that the re-
ception by the people of the assembly
project has done much to strengthen
him in that resolution. 1t is not felt
here that the questions of the transfer
to Japan of all the interned ships and
the limitation of the Russian naval
force in the Pacific will be crucial
points in the final settlement. They
are regarded as terms inserted in the
demands by the japanese for the pur-
pose of humiliating Russia before the
world and for no very serious purpose
of negotiations. They are also round
ly declared to be Unacceptable, but
not vested with the Importance of the
:
Today, as at the beginning of the
Portsmouth negotiations, conditions
relative TO the cession of Sakhalin and
the indemnity are universally declared
to be impossible of acceptance. The
emperor has received further address,
es from the country begging him to
neither cede territory nor pay an in
demnity. From practically all classes
of society. except the extreme radicals,
comes the demand that the Russian
| people should not pay an indemnity
nor cede Sakhalin.
An immense majority of the Russian
/ people do not recognize Japanese as
victors and argue that Russia already
! has conceded to Japan even more than
J she demanded al the outbreak of the
war, and declare that the payment now
of an indemnity, as such, would. spell
political death for Russia. 1t can be
stated authoritatively that the United
States is not attempting to exercise in
fluence upon Russia through St. Pc
/ terSburg.

III official circles as most improbable.
NJ. Witte refused absolutely to speak
about the peace conference, the journey
of Baron de Rosen to Oyster Bay and
the probable result which he may derive
from 1T, saying that today he needed
a complete rest and therefore he aban-
doned himself absolutely TO his Mag
nolia visit and had perused no COM
munications yet alive to the issues
pending.
He remarked that his call upon
Baroness and Miss de ROsen had been
most refreshing and that his object to
secure a day of complete relaxation
and recreation has been most delight
fully accomplished. He returned from
Magnolia with Baron Schlippenbach,
Russian consul at Chicago and Col.
Samoyloff, on a motor car which made
the fifty mile trip in just two hours.
An automobile which had been sent to
meet him from the hotel against pos
sibIe delays was not met by the re-
turning party.

by young Walsh, struck the railing of

not been ascertained. The accident
was witnessed by other automobilists
who succeeded in rescuing five of the

President Roosevelt said this even

by his remarks was that publicity at

of the negotiations.
1t is quite evident from the trend
of events today which made Oyster
Bay for an hour, the center of the
envoys are in possession of information
that will assist them materially in
