Prospects Of Peace Grow

BY Associated Press.
PORTSMOUTH, N. H., Aug. 11.-Rus-
sia's reply to the Japanese terms OF
peace will be delivered by M. witte to
Baron Komura at $3.50 o'clock tomor-
row morning. The reply is written,
there being two texts-one in French
and the other in English. Upon the
two crucial points, indemnity and the
cession of the island of Sakhalin, the
reply is absolute mon pessumus."
Other points are accepted as bases for
discussion, while others are accepted
conditionally. The reply is rather long
because, in enumerating the conditions
on which discussion is admitted, and
those on which consideration is de-
clined, reasons and arguments are
given.
The Japanese plenipotentiaries are
expected to ask for an immediate ad-
journment to examine and prepare this
reply. M. Witte will probably inti-
mate that the Russian plenipotenti-
ries expect the Japanese to display as
much expedition as they. the Russians,
have shown in the preparation Of their
response. Monday, therefore, is ex-
pected to be the day on which the real
discussion of the negotiations will be-
gin. Neither side wants to indulge in
diplomatic sparring. The time for
fencing is over and less than a week
must decide whether q basis of peace
is possible.
The tactics of the Japanese are In
scrutable. They have shown through
out the war their ability to guard their
secrets. military. naval and diplomatic.
and now not the remotest clue comes
from behind the closed doors as to
whether they are prepared to make
substantial concessions. Silence and
secrecy are their watchwords But, If
the conditions as submitted constitute
their last word. hope Of peace may be
regarded as having disappeared II the
feeling reflected in Russian circles is a
true criterion. That no substantial con-
cessions on the main issues will be
made is the belief both in Russian and
Japanese circles.
Witte Most Pesslrnlstle
Tonight in the inner camps of both
plenipotentiaries the deepest pessimism
reigns. NJ Witte. it is positively
known, believes the prospects of an
agreement are SO remote as to be
practically nil. He has no desire to
prolong the agony and, instead of fenc-

the Associated Charities and of the COM
1hittee on prevention and cure of con-
sumption. delivered lecture last even
ing before the Central Labor Union
Mr.. Hatch had as his subiect-matter
the prevention of consumption, going
into detail to show how it was caused,

consumption in the city could be pre-
vented.

street bcggar, bad honre influences. dan
gerous ana unsanitary houses, over
crowding. filth in the home, hidden and
blind alleys. and consumption.
Mr.. Hatch said that with proper care
and industry these conditions could be
overcome. and he hoped all would work
for Improvement on ne present condi-
tons.
