1t is generally accepted that whatever
informal steps were taken toward peace
by either Russia or japan, or by interme-
diaries, have been without result, and
that the war will proceed for a longer
period Official Russia loudly proclaims
that view, and the military authorities are
bending all their energies 10 the task

ness 10 treat with Russia, requires that
before she names her conditions the czar
shall ask for them in an official way. She
is evidently not suited with the negative
