KUSSIA OFFERED TO DIVIDE First Compromise Proposition on Sakhalin Came From Witte. PORTSMOUTH, N H., Aug. 23. From en authoritative Japanese source, the Associated Press is informed that the proposition to divide the island of Sakha lin came originally from the Russian side. DIRECT APPEAIi TO NICHOLAS President Renews Efforts and Still Hopes for Peace. OTSTER BAY, Aug. 23. President Roosevelt's final effort to Induce a ces sation of hostilities in the Far East is Almost dramatic in its extraordinary interest. Through George Von L. jtfeyer, the American Ambassador at St. Petersburg, he has made a direct appeal to Emperor Nicholas to permit the adoption of such measures in the pending peace conference as will ter minate the war. A long cablegram was sent to Mr. Meyer by the President on Monday. It contained instructions for representa tions on behalf of the President to be made directly to the Russian Emperor. There is reason for believing that those representations were communi cated yesterday to the Russian en voys at Portsmouth through the President's messenger. As a result of the President's in structions, Mr. Meyer, as chronicled in an Associated Press dispatch from St. Petersburg, had a special audience with Emperor Nicholas today at Pe terhof. "What conclusions were reached at that conference is not known here, ns no intimation has been given of the receipt by the President of Mr. Meyer's cabled reply. The report received from Assistant Secretary of State Pelrce at Ports mouth that the peace plenipotentiaries had adjourned their sittings until next Saturday was a source of satisfaction. It is a distinct assurance that efforts are being made, with increasing pros pect of ultimate success, to compro mise on the crucial points of difference among the conferees. It is regarded as certain that every hour gained in the time of the conference makes for a peaceful solution of the differences. Thus far the President has gained his points, one after another. It was due to his efforts that the conference did not break up finally last week and his further important sug gestions prevented a final dissolution of the conference on Monday. Now he has carried his appeal for peace straight to the Russian Emperor, an appeal, too, which can be said to have the positive support of the great neu tral powers. Final decision on the proposition made by Japan through Baron Komura will rest with Emperor Nicholas. Even should it be rejected, it Is almost cer tain now that it will be succeeded by other propositions looking to an -ultimate agreement of the plenipoten tiaries. It can bo said that the confer caca will not fail of successful issue "because of lack of proper and disin terested effort on the part of President Roosevelt, and, while he does not dis cuss the negotiations in any manner tor publication, those who have talked to him reflect his increasing belief that out of all the bickerings yet may come peace. MEYER CONFERS rTF& CZAR Ambassador Spends Three Hours in Pleading for Peace. ST. PETERSBURG. Aug. 23. Mr. Meyer, the American Ambassador, had an audience with the Emperor at Peterhof this afternoon which lasted three hours. Presumably the matter of peace was dis cussed at length, but nothing can be as certained at present regarding what ac tually took place, as the Embassy re fuses to give out any statement. It is known, however, that a long cable gram has been sent to Washington giv ing the result of the conference. Mr. Meyer left St. Petersburg at 3 P. M., arriving at Peterhof about an hour later, returning to St. Petersburg shortly before 8 o'clock. The Emperor attended the maneuvers in the morning and returned to Peterhof Just in time to receive Mr. Meyer. Offi cers who were present at the maneuvers remarked that the Emperor was in unusu ally good spirits. Since the promulgation of the national assembly manifesto, a weight seems to have been ,llfted from his mind. KAISER SENDS WbRD ,TO CZAR Confidential Officer Carries Message to Peterhof for Nicholas. ST. PETERSBURG. Aug. 23. Captain von Hltze, vthe German naval attache, who was Emperor William's representa tive in Emperor Nicholas' suite at the meeting at Boerkoe and who enjoys spe cial relations with the Emperor of Rus sia, went to Peterhof today and it is expected he will be given an audience tomorrow. The fact that personal communications between these two monarchs are often made through military Instead of the or dinary diplomatic channels lends Interest to this audience. SAYS JAPAN IS NOT CliEVER Witte Ridicules Offer to Sell Sak halin to Russia. PARIS, Aug. 23. The Matin states that Mr. Witte Informed its correspondent at Portsmouth that the Japanese had pro posed new arrangements and now wanted to sell to Russia a portion of Sakhalin for the equivalent of the cost of the war to Japan, Mr. Witte placing, the amount at over two and a half milliards of yen. "St. Petersburg Is to decide if my task is finished," the correspondent quotes Mr. Witte as saying. "I have carried out the instructions given me, and I don't be lieve St. Petersburg will accept Japan's proposition that we buy back Sakhalin. The Japanese take us for a people lacking common sense. They think that by dress ing a man In woman's clothing everybody will believe It is a woman, and that by NEW PLAN .putting a redingote on the back of a woman, everyone will think it is a man. "Japan ' demands an enormous sum of money. It first epoke of an Indemnity, then of reimbursement for the cost of the war; now Japan styles it the purchase price of a portion of Sakhalin, but It is always the same. The Japanese might as well have said: 'Here Is a house at Sakhalin; we will sell it to you for a milliard of roubles: take it and we will then cease the war.' Really, it is not vers clever." v Mr. Witte, says the correspondent, did not know whether Japan would hang back for a portion of the island or the entire island, and expressed the view that St. Petersburg's reply would be decisive.

He admits walking on Washing ton avenue a .short time before Mrs. Mlze was shot) but says that he went away and was not in the neighborhood when the crime was committed.

At Its reg ular weekly meeting this afternoon, the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, by unan imous vote, adopted the report pre sented by a special comlttee, of which Judge Thomas Burke was chairman, relative to the Chinese exclusion laws, and their enforcement. The resolutions favor first of all a strict and literal enforcement of the laws In so far as they provide for the shutting out of all Chinese coolies or laborers. Tho vigil ance of the immigration officials. It holds, should not be relaxed in the slightest degree In this particular.
