On the fare of things both sides ire ft 111 las uncompromising as ever upon the two Issues, the struggle over iihem being merely postponed. Private Understanding. Home fort of private understanding arrived ait by Baron Komura and Mr. Wltte during the recess nt the navy yard today Is hinted at, but there Is not the slightest confirmation obtnlnahle. No evidence of a change of the un compromising altitude on the part of Mr. Wit'ie or Baron, Roen regarding the main ipolnts Is observable. Never theless the Japanese, who are attached to the Nippon mission plainly mani fest elation and pome of them private ly assert th: Mr, WKre would never have consented to the discussion of the terms had he not been prepared to yield on the uestlon of the Sakhallen. Discuss Tarma. fTtie Russian reply with its non-pos-lmu. as to Indemnity and Sakhalin had been presented In the morning: yet, in ankd of this fact, at 3 o'clock the plenipotentiaries met and after ngree-I Ing no discuss the conditions seriatim "entered upon the consideration of the first of the Japanese terms. The prop osition to discuss the conditions- in this way Is believed to have emanated from t.he Japanese side. .The first condition was of secondary Importance one of nhose which Rifssla hid passed upon as conditionally acceptable as a basl of negotiations, yet little i.-njjr?ss wan made. Four hours were spent In de baiting it, but no conclusion was reached. As there are twelve condi tions and this one Is of minor Import ance 'the outlook Is prilll gloomy. The plenipotentiaries at 7 o'clock ad Journed until tomorrow afternoon at .1 o'clock. The Japanese wanted to hold a session In the morning, but Mr. Wltte would nat agree to .his, a? It was Sun day. Friendly Sessions. Both of todiy's sessions are de scribed as "friendly," -but no details are divulged. Mr.- Wltte, however. makes no concealment of the fact that the rigid secrecy which the Japanese Insisted on imposing upon the pro ceedings la dlstan efui to him. Wi n earnestness tie spoke tonight to the As sociated Press corremondent upon the subject. At the time he was laboring under considerable excitement beciuse M of the published assertion which had " been called to his attention that he had pleaded for an armistice. For the dig nity of Russia and the pride of his country he asked that an absolute de nial should be given to the report. Reply Outlined. The Russian reply to the Japanese terma delivered by Mr. Wltte to Baron Komura was outlined In the Associated Press dispatches last night. Upon the two points indemnity and cession of Sakhalin it declines to ad mit discussion. Other stipulationsand lull' I it i.: Lvimi.iuiiaiij. It is Jong, taking up the conditions seriatim, and setting forth, the ms oas and arguments for the decision reached in ench case. The argument against the payment of an indemnity or the cession of territory Is based ft upon the general theory that Russia Is not responsible for the war and that she. la still prepared to continue the struggle, and has sought this meeting, not as a vanquished' country because she sincerely desired pence. If honorable peace Is possible. Thcrcfoie she could neither agree to foot Japan's bill for war expenses nor ode ter rltory. .Russia's Argument. The argument can be fairly stated aa follows: Russia la not vanquished. She has suffered leverses, but she I not obliged to accept p. ace at any cost 8he desires pence now, as she always has, even before Japan opened hos tilities. That Russia did not court or want war is evident by the fact that she waa not prepared for It either in a military, naval or administrative sense. Russia could possibly he piop. erly nerused of only one thing of having given the occasion which Japan was seeking anil for which Japan had been preparing for ten years, to make war upon tier. Th- responsibility for the war. thcrefon falls upon Japan and not upon Rus sia. It can be said, however, that, al though firm on the main points, Mr. Wltte's reply Is exceedingly courteous n form and tone and leaves the way open to (llHcnsHion and negotiation '.: he Japanese are willing.
