PREPARES TO FIGHT Russia Rushing Troops Into Far Eastern Territory. HALF MILLION MEN MAY BE SENT C ars an d L o c o m o tiv e s S e c u re d in A u stria any Q e rm an y— P r e p a rin g fo r a S u p re m e S tr u g g le . Chicago, Aug. 26.— The Daily News’ ■correspondent at 8 t. Petersburg says: That the war is to continue is indi cated by the feverish activity shown everywhere in preparing for the su preme struggle. Four hundred soldiers o f every guard regiment left yesterday for the front; half a million troops that participated in the summer man euvers are available for duty in Man churia, and a large proportion of them are to be dispatched there as rapidly as possible. They will be replaced in the Russian garrisonB by the regular fall conscriptions. Twelve thousand cars and 300 loco motives have been hired in Austria and Germany to convey men and supplies to the war. Prince Hilkof, minister of railways, is personally hurrying to completion the St. Petersburg-Viatka railway, which will add greatly to the transportation facilities of Russia. The new minister of Siberian railways and waterways, M. Ivanitzcki, is refit ting the Siberian horseways to relieve the strain on the tranB-Siberian rail way. Prince Wolkonsky said to your corre spondent today: "Peace is impossible. President Rosoevelt’ s last attempt to bring Rus sia and Japan to an agreement has fail ed, because the czar has solemnly prom ised his people to pay not a single ko pek of tribute and to surrender not an inch of territory. Never since it be came an empire has Russia paid tribute or ceded territory. The first ruler of the nation who does either of these things signs his own death warrant. 8 uch payment, however disgusied, would provoke a revolution.” R u s s ia W ill B e T o Blam e. Portsmouth, Aug. 28.— If peace does not come through the negotiations now in progress. President Roosevelt will lay most of the blame at the door of Russia. The deadlock, if snch it proves to be, will have been caused almost en- tively by the refusal of the czar’ s en voys to listen to argument throughout the proceedings. The attitude of the Russians has been from the outset that they have not suffered defeat at all. The reverses that have overtaken them, they have been pleased to call “ merely troubles.” _________________ M ilita ry T r a in s W re c ke d . St. Petersburg, Aug. 25. — It was stated today that the sudden departure from St. Petersburg Monday night of Prince Hilkoff, minister of railroads, was for the purpose of investigating several serious accidents, which oc curred recently in Southern Russia to military trainB going to the Far East. In one of these accidents, which took place in the vicinity of Kazan, 26 soldiers were killed and two officers and two soldiers injured.______ B o yc o tt S t o p s S u n d a y P ictu res.

Publication o f R o o se v e lt’s P ro p o sitio n W o u ld F o rc e E n v o y s to A gre e . Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 28.— In an authoritative quarter it is learned to night that the latest suggestions offered to the emperorB of the two warring powers as to an amicable adjustment of their differences also were communi cated simultaneously to the envoys of Russia and Japan. This action on the part of the president was taken in order that no possible ground for offense could be taken by the plenipotenti aries because of his direct appeal to the emperors. While the terms suggested by the president are not disclosed, it is known that they were framed on broad hu manitarian lines. It is permissible to say, in the words of the authority re ferred to: “ If the civilized world Could know at this time the precise nature of the propositions made to Russia and Japan by President Roosevelt, it would seem that the force of the public opinion of the world would induce the plenipo tentiaries and their governments to pause and consider seriously the results before breaking off finally the present conference without an agreement. In deed, they might scarcely dare face the world’s opinion by refusing to accept, in principle at least, the suggestions offered by the preeident.” S t r ic t Q u aran tin e at C a iro .
