How the Russians Regard the
Peace Terms of Japs
THE WAR TO CONTINUE
That Seems to Be the General Opin-
-v ' -
ion at St. Petersburg What the
Russian Minister of Finance Says.
How the Czar Has Used the Presi
dent to His Own Ends
St. Petersburg, Aug. 11. Japan's
Jerms of peace, as reported this morn
ing, correspond with expectations. They
...
( confirm informations derived from a
high authority after the meeting of the
peace envoys on board the Mayflower,
namely that no common ground at
present exists upon which the bellig
erents can negotiate peace.
The Japanese terms reached the pub
1 He here through the evening papers at
2 o'clock. The appearance of the pa
pers this afternoon containing - them
freated more interest than an ordinary
, (Issue. Popular opinion is unanimous
that this ends the incident and that
the peace coference will dissolve forth
with. Witte's action in immediately reject
ing the demand for. a war contribu
- tion and the cession of the Island of
Shallen is universally approved. Any
attempt to compromise these points
would be resented by all classes.
There is no indication of what the .of
ficial action will be, but a high "lunc
tionary said to the Laffan Press corre
spondent: ".Now we shall have combat
a 1 'outrance (war to the death), and
the country will be united on this
point."
The newspapers express resentment
at the failure of the Japanese plenipo
tentiaries to present their formal cre
dentials at the first meeting, interpret
ing this action as an international
Blight In response to "Witte's reported
declaration in advance of the confer
ence that Russia would not grant an
indemnity or a cession of territory. ,
In a word, the effect of the publica
tion of the Japanese terms has been
to simplify the whole situation, to sol
idify Russian sentiment and prepare
for the great struggle .which Is now
inevitable.
, The publication, of the statement for
a national assembly is probably de
layed for a fortnight.
I believe there is no thought of peace
in St. Petersburg today.
. The "minister of finance, M. Kokot-
zoff, received the New York Sun cor
respondent today and said with ref
erence to Japan's terms: "I am neither
surprised nor depressed. When I have
been asked about the possibility of an
early peace as a result of this confer
ence, I have always replied that I be
lieved Japan would put forward very
hard terms, which Russia as a great
country could not accept. I am unable
,to say whether the proposals are Jn
the form of an ultimatum, or whether
they are an essay, aiming to discover
what is obtainable. But if they are
" Japan's final word, then I expect the
conference 1 to terminate very shortly
in a rupture. There is the same au
thority for stating that Witte is defi-
- nitely authorized not to reimburse Ja
pan's war outlay."
These Think It Will Re Peace
London, Aug. 11. The St. Petersburg
correspondent of the Exchange Tele
graph Company says that dispatches
from the front affirm that Marshal
Oya, Prince Kanin, commander of the
Japanese imperial guard, and the
British, French and American military
attaches have arrived at Chantafoo,
with the object-of making preparations
In anticipation of a ceremony conse
quent upon -an expected declartion of
peace.
The Japanese have repaired the rail
way north of Shangetafoo to facilitate
a meeting between Marshal Oyama
and General Llnevitch.
King Edward Hopes They'll Settle It
London, 'Aug. 11. Parliament was
prorogued today after a checkered ses
sion which will long be remembered
for the unprecedented numbers of
censure and motions for adjournment
moved with a view to the embarrass
ment of the government.
The lord high chancellor, the Early
of Halsbury, read King! Edwteird's
speech, the. most interesting clauses
from an internal point of view, re
ferred to the peace, negotiations and
the crisis In Sweden and Norway.
Regarding1 fhV 'peace negotiations' the
speech says: """Negotiations, due to the
initiative of the president of the United
states, are about to be entered upon
between the Russian and Japanese
governments for the purpose of ter
minating' the deplorable conflict still
proceeding in the far east. It is my
earnest hope that they may lead to
a lasting and mutually honorable
peace."
Russia Will Reject Terms
St. Petersburg Aug. 11. Although no
official announcement has been made
tt Is everywhere accepted as a fore
gone conclusion that Russia will re
lect the Japanese terms and break, off
ihe negotiations. As for the terms
themselves, there is only one opinion,
and that is that they are severe and
drastic beyond th nrtint that anv cAlr.
respecting power could accent or con-
sader. Nobody, ind believe, that I
1
H
Japan herself imagines that": Russia .will
accept them. It is, therefore, assumed
that Japan consented to the conference
in full knowledge of its futility. LThe
Question natursJlv asked bv M. Witte
; before his departure and by all Rus-
i sia today is why did not Japan out
line the nature of her demands before
going through all the formalities of
sending envoys to ascertain if an
agreement were possible. M. Witte's
dispatch reporting the proposals .was
not translated from the code and
placed, before the czar at PeTerhof un
til ncurly midnight. It is not- known
how the terms were received by his
majesty, but what he did was most
extraordinary. . Ordering a carriage
and escorts, he drove during the dark
est hours of the night to Krasnoe Selo,
the great military camp, two hours
distant from Peterhof . - The only other
occasion on which he has left Peterhof
was to meet the kaUerT The object
of his mysterious midnight journey has
not been disclosed but it may be as
sumed that his motive was an extra
ordinary as 'bis act.
Although she. rejects Japan's terms
and the pea.ee conference is apparent
ly doomed to end in a fiasco Russia
will gain from it certain advantages
which she deems of inestimable value.
The first is that national pride is at
least aroused and the country, .recon
ciled to war, if not enthusiastic In its
prosecution., The remarkable change
in all classes of orthodoz Russian opin
ion is not difficult, to understand. The
war was universally unpopular and the
national pride .was not , touched until
after the battle of ' Mukden. . Peace
ought to have been made after the fall
of Port Arthur, especially in view of
the Japanese tributes to the valor of
the Russian resistance, because the
country believed v the war was useless
and national prestige was not really
affected.
Russia Has Used the President
The battle of Mukden, however,
brought stories of Russian rout and
panic which was followed by the de
struction of the fleet, were regarded
as a serious national disgrace. Then
Russia began to arouse herself.
Peace talk has diminshed steadily
from that day to this. Russian honor
was at stake and the only question
was how to control the internal agita
tion while the empire rose to the task
of vindicating its military prestige.
Then came President Roosevelt's in
vitation and Russia seized it as a good
opportunity. She ,was confident that
Japan's terms would be severe, and
she knew the country would resent
them. .
Knowledge of the Japanese proposals
as they become konwn will, solidify the
nation for war as nothing else could
have done. -''
For this Russia thanks President
Roosevelt with genuine gratitude. '
Another advantage of great im
portance that . Russia has gained is
this: Other military blows are prob
ably in store for her. She will lose
Vladivostok and probably will be again
defeated in Manchuria. She will then
arise to tbe situation, when but for
the Invitation of President Roosevelt
and the meeting at Portsmouth foreign,
mediation would have been offered and
Russia put in an embarrassing posi
tion. Russia now plans to begin her
real campaign to exhaust the enemy.
The Russians themselves admit that
no pea.ee made now could be perma
nent. Japan therefore is quite justi
fied In naming terms which Russia is
unable to consider. One may go fur
ther and say the czar could not accept
even far more moderate terms at the
present moment. To sign a peace in
such conditions would cost the
romanoff desiny its throne.
Tha Czar Toasts the Army
St. Petersburg, Aug. 11. At a late
.hour tonight the object of. the czar's
sudden visit' to Kratioe-Selo was ex
plained, and, it .is abundantly signifi
cant. His reply to Japan's1 demands
Is a demonstration of his personal
allegiance to the army,
He invited all the officers of the im
perial guard to lunch this .afternoon
and at the close of "the meal he pro
posed a silent toast to" the .imperial
guard. ' ;, , .. .
Every man understood the act with
out a word being spokem They stood
up and drank in impressive silence.
This is the first ;tim,e since the war
began that the czar has rYatenizerf
with the officers. . The czarina and
the dowager empress accompanied the
czar to Kranzo-Selo. They drove
back to Peterhof at 6 o'clock.
It is stated that Japan's demand
for the surrender of the Interned war
ships, and a -limitation of the Rus
sian forces in the far east Incites even
greater interest tTian the claims for
in indemnity and the cession of Saga
halien. OVER IN OXFORD

DDfS WEEKLY REVIEW
Net Result of the Week Con
sidered Satisfactory
Textile Market Stimulated By Heavy
Western Orders for Quick Delivery.
. Only Fear of Cotton Mfrs. is Re
sult of Chinese Boycott
New York, Aug. 11. R. G. Dun's
weekly review of trade says:
The reports are less uniformly favor
able but adverse factors are of a tem
porary nature and the net result for
the week is satisfactory. Numerous
strikes have occurred, exerting the
customary pernLcioUa. influence over
business and the epidemic of yellow
fever is restricting, southern , trade.
Preparations for winter and . spring
distribution of merchandise are no
longer handicapped by uncertainty re
garding agriculture- for harvest opera
tions are progressing rapidly unfder
better than averaee conditions and
there v is . little , anxiety regarding the
future. Manufacturing plants 1 are in
creasinclv active, textile mills still oc
cupying the strongest position, while
shoe shops are not making concessions
to get business. Iron furnaces ' ana
steel mills make progress rapidly.
Lumber mill and dealers are having
an exceptionally busy season.
Recovery in the iron and steel in
dustry comes more slowly than was
anticipated, yet there are numerous In
dications of a better, tone. Quotations
are practically unchanged.
Textile markets have had the stimulus
of an increased attendance of western
buyers who are exhibiting more eager
ness to pla.ee orders for quick deliv
ery of cotton goods, notwithstanding
the higher prices demanded In many
lines.
At present the only event that might
weaken the position of manufacturers
would be the cancellation of Chinese
orders, as many mills have withdrawn
from the market on account of export
trade. Woolen goods are meeting with
a steady demand, higher prices ex
erting no adverse influence on the
volume o ftrade, many lines being
fully sold and withdrawn.
Ray materials of the footwear in
dustry continued stroner. hide com
manding the highest position since the
civil war and showing no indication
of reaction.. The leather market is
notably firm, several fractional ad
vances occurring during the past week.
Commercial failures this week in the
United. tSates are 222, against 232 last
week. Failures in Canada number 19.
against 26 last . week.
HOPE OF PEACE STILL LINGERS

tice of part of thje Japanese condi
tions. . . '
If the worst comes to the, worst,
there is yet the chance, even the prop;
ability that the president of the United
States will again appeal to Russia and
Japan to adjust their differences.
I "Whatever may be their individual
opinions of Mr
all the peace envoys have the-highest
respect and regard for him i as the
representative of a great nation and
they are influenced by this to agree
that the average American, -in his
free and easy conviction is just as
good , as anybody else, is able appre
ciate. The president has expressedly
indicated that it is his desire that the
Russian- and Japanese envoys be left
severely alone in the conduct of the
present exchanges but those who
know his character and are aware that
the adjustment of the f-r eastern war
is the child nearest his heart, are pre
pared to believe that he would let the
Portsmouth, conference- result in a
rupture if he were convinced that the
use of his Influence might produce a
happier outcome.
Surprising as it may seem to those
who regard Russia as a defeated na
tion the czar's government has pre
sented demands perhaps they had
better be called .conditions of their
own for submission to the Japanese
envoys at Portsmouth. If Baron Ko

it win be explained the Japanese en

tvill admit their willingness to accept
certain of the. Japanese terms, such as
the evacuation of Manchuria by the
Russian force, but they will contend
that others are not compatible with
the dignity of Russia. Counter pro

that .these will be regarded by Baron

A Big Inter-State Excursion
Asheellle, N. C.f Aug. 11. Special.
It was learned today that ten represen
tatives of the municipality of New
Orleans had been sent to the moun
tainous sections of the south for the
puprose of selecting locations for yel
low fever refugees, and that two of the
representatives were in Asheville yes
terday en route to Waynesville and
Hendersonville on this mission. It is
the purpose of the New Orleans author-,
ities and the United States government
to locate a refuge camp in the moun-.
tains of North Carolina, where two
thousand refugees will be sent. One
of the representatives went to Hender
sonville yesterday afternoon and the
other to Waynesville. They will inspect
locations in those sections and make a
report. The federal government it is
said, purposes furnishing tents and
equipment for the refugees and that
the tented city will be pitched some
distance from habitation, but withal
accessible to a supply centre. The rep
resentatives here yesterday inspected
localities between Asheville and Hen
dersonville and Waynesville.
The Asheville board of trade has ta
ken official notice of the action of the
officers of the first- regiment N. C
N. G. to secure a permanent location
for the annual encampment of the regi
ment, and at a meeting of the direc
tors held yesterday afternoon a special
committee was appointed to confer with
other Asheville interests towards se
curing the annual encampment. The
conditions in Asheville w'ith regard to
the accommodations for visitors is daily
becoming such as to call for the co
operation of every citizen in seeing that
these visitors have prompt and com
fortable accommodations. This is the
opinion of the board of trade and
Southern Railway officials this morn
ing. . ..
