CONFERENCE DELAYED TO RE
CEIVE WORD FROM TOKIO.
SPURNS A PURCHASED PEACE
Cxnr Declares He Will Never Pay In
demnitySituation Can Only Be
Broken by Japan Chancea for
Peaceful Outcome Gloomy.
Portsmouth, N. II., Aug. 28. The
life of the lumce coatoronco booiiih to
hunt; hy n thread, hut the thread will
not he broken today. After n two
hourfl' conference hy Mr. Tnknhlra
nml M. Wltte In the lutter'n room, the
announcement of n postponement wan
made. M. Wltto explained to the A
boelaled Presa that Mr. Tnknhlra had
told him that no new ltiHtiuetlon had
reached him from Toklo nml ho had
MiKKcstcd the propriety of postponing
the meetliiK until tomorrow. To thin
M. Wltte Bald he hnd readily nstiented.
Mr. 'ITikalilia made the following
Btntement to tho Associated Press:
"Inasmuch na this conference wan
Initiated hy tho friendly olllees of
your president, nfter consultation, we
felt t lint we Khould ho cautious about
tertulnatltiK U& labors."
Pri'ssed na to whether he regarded
tho situation as hopeless, Mr. Taka
hlrti mild: "No, not hopeless, hut nl
most hopeless."
This, In Itself, from one who hns
nlwuya spoken In tho most guarded
manner, Is sufficient to show the des
perntcness of tho situation. The rent
crisis In tho negotiations Is nt hnnd.
It Is very acute, but will not he over
for several dnys, nml n basis of pence
acceptable to both sides mny come
very suddenly. Hut to save tin situa
tion now Japnn must speak. If tomor
row she has nothing to offer, nil Is over.
Wltte It Powerleta.
M. Wltte, oven If ho would, Is pow
erless to tnko n new step. He now
occupies the rolo of nn impcrlnl mes
senger who transmits his master's or
ders to Huron Komurn, and Huron
Komurii turns them over to Toklo for
the response. The conference room
has ceased to bo a placo for negotia
tions. It Is simply tho place where
the emperors of tho warring countries
rxchmigo their communications by
the hands of their envoys, nnd upon
the point of Indemnity or reimburse
ment of "fras do guerre" under nny
disguise, Emperor Nicholas has given
tho Jupnncso emperor Mb Inst word.
M. Wltto accepts It an final, ami In
writing Informed tho Japanese pleni
potentiaries that llussla would have
nothing further on this subject. Run
filu would cedo half of Sakhalin nnd
pay tho cost of tho maintenance of
tho Russian prisoners, but that was
nil. Emperor Nicholas hnd given tho
sumo res pon so to tho president
through Ambassador Meyer.
Whether tho president hns renewed
his efforts, cannot bo ascertained
here. Ills former suggestion for n
compromlso failed. Ho niado his ap
peal simultaneously to both tho czar
nml the emperor of Japan. Ho pro
posed tho Indomnlty-Snkhnlln combi
nation, but not in tho form In which It
wns presented by Ilaron Komurn at
Wednesday's meeting. Instead or set
ting tho prlco (1,200,000,00(1 yen, tho
estimated cost of tho war), ho sug
gested that if an agreement could not
tie reached, tho llxlng of tho pilco
should bo left to n hoard or commis
sion, but tho Japancso Insisted upon
lnseitlng tho sum, and thus made It
Imposslnle, In view of tho Russlnn
declHiatlon, to ncccjit It. Emperor
Nicholas refused to go fuither, In nil
illtlnn to tho concessions nlready
madn, than to ngrec to tho cession of
half of Sakhalin.
Sends Cipher Menage to President.
Assistant Secretary Polrce, after
tho announcement of tho decision to
adjourn over until tomorrow, saw both
M. Wltto and Mr. Tnknhlra and then
sent a long cipher message to thn
president. Although tho public wns
led to hnllevo that tho meeting was
definitely adjourned until tomorrow,
thn Associated Presa learned that, ac
cording to tho Joint understanding
between M. Wltto and Mr. Taknhlra,
It was agreed that there would bo no
meeting until Japan's response to
what mny bo regarded as the Russlnn
ultimatum arrived. Tho meeting,
therefore, may not bo held until Wed
nesday or Thursday. Toklo must now
decide and, Judging from tho tono of
tho Jnpnncso press, tho government
must faco a great deal of opposition
nt homo If it yields further.
Tho Russians generally seem not
displeased with tho sltuntlon. They
believe Japnn has been diplomatically
maneuvered Into a corner from which,
if she now persists in her nttempt to
exact tribute, with tho alternntlvo of
n contluuanco of tho wnr, sho cannot
extilcnto herself beforo tho public
opinion of tho world. Japnn hero and
in Europe, they say, appealed for
Fympathy on tho ground that Russia
had compelled her to take up amis to
protect hor life. Tho fortunes of war
had gono In her favor and Russia,
iccngnlzlng that sho hud been beaten
nnd pr'errlng not to contlnuo tho
war. wns prepared to cede upon
every point Involved In tho iniairol.
She was willing to allow Jnpnn full
Msing In Korea, sho was willing to
get out of Manchiirln, bag and bag
gage, nnd commit herself to the icing
riitlon of t'hlnn'B Integrity and the
policy of the "open door." Hut Japan
Insisted on tribute, nnd because Kits
fin refused, prolongs tho carnage.
Thero Is a persistent report that
President Roosevelt hns made a new
appeal to tho emperor of Japan.
