The As sociated Press Is In a position to stati that piactieally all the hope enter tained of a favorable termination of the peace conference at Portsmouth llet In the hope that Japan will re cede materially from her terms as published, official and public senti ment regarding the possibilities of peace, outlined to the Associated Pi ess by uu official who has constant anil close relations with the highest au thorities, is as follows: "That the terms are regarded In their entirety as iuite Impossible 01 acceptance, and a close scrutiny has hot removed the veiy unfavorable impression their first reading has pro duced here, .thcy are not modified, especially in toe matters of inlemnlly and territorial concessions, peace. It Is thought, Is Impossible and the con tinuance of the negotiations useless. The Japanese terms ate regarded In Russia as demands which might be made upon an utterly 'crushed and powerless enemy, but it is absurd to propos.' them to a power like Kusslu which has half a million men In tli field facing th enemy. This army in goon condition and eager for ac tion. It possesses many advantage of position. The more hopeful feeling which Is noticeable here can be traced to the onvlctloii that M. Wltte, who Is thoi oughly cognizant of the views of tli Russian government, would not cpn tlnue negotiations at Portsmouth un less he had reason to believe th i Japan would reduce her demands suf flclently to render them acceptable to Russia. The Russian envoys went tc Portsmouth ready to make reasonable artd Honorable l-nncewslonsi and peace Is to result from the negotla tions on Ameilcan soil, Japan also must show an equal spirit of reason ableness and sincerity In her. protes tntlons for peace."
