Pc Conference Where It Was at
Opening of Session,
Portsmouth, N. II., Aug. 18. The
crisis in the peace conference has been
reached and pesaiinism ia again the
note. But the darkest hour la just be
fore the dawn, and there it still hope.
Predictions of a final rupture today
certainly will not be justified uulesi
Baron Komura figuratively picks up
his hat and announces that it is useless
to proceed further. Mr. Witte, at
least, will not be precipitate; At to
day's session, after article 2 the limi
tation ot Russia's naval power in the
Far East and article 12 fishing rights
on the Russian littoral are disposed
of, he will favor an adjournment un
til Monday to hear the last word from
St. Petersburg.
The pessimism last night. is based on
the fact that no progrem waa made yes
terday. The exchange of views at the
morning session on article 9 remuner
ation for the cost of the war showed
at once that the plenipotentiaries were
aa far apart as the poles, and it waa
passed over. Article 10 the surrend
er of the interned Russian warships
waa also passed, not, in the opinion of
one of the plenipotentiaries when the
Associated Press saw him last night,
because it could not have been arrang
ed, but because, with the shadow ot
the two main points in dispute hanging
over the conference, both sides were
cautious and preferred to postpone it
to the end. Article 2 limitation of
sea power is also adjustable after
mollification, and article 12 will pres
ent no difficulties. So that now the
situation is practically where it was
when Mr. Witte last Saturday present
ed the Russian reply with ita non-poa-sumus
to articles 5 and 8 indemnity
and Sakhalin.
FOR DEEPER COLUMBIA.
Trans-Mississippi Congress Realizes
Needa of Coast.
Portland, Ang. 18. Need of liberal
appropriations from congress tor the
Columbia river fs obvious to the Trans
Mississippi Commercial congress, and
when Major W. C. Langfitt, United
States engineer, spoke yesterday before
that body on the benefits which ade
quate appropriations would . bring and
pointed out the results the United
States engineers could attain, the con
gress manifested ita approval with
hearty applause. A resolution, calling
on the national government to hasten
improvement of the waterway will be
urged by the Washington, Oregon and
Idaho delegations in the congress and
no doubt will be adopted.
Leaders of the congress in the last
two days have frequently remarked that
the further improvmenet of the Co
lumbia river is the most important
river and harbor work before the gov
ernment on tne 1'acine coast, and one
of the most important in the United
States, and they say this whether they
come from Texas, where Galveston and
Houston nted appropriations, or from
Louisiana, where New Orleans requires
a deeper Mississippi and a more exten
sive levee system is needed, or from
Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska and the Da
kotas, where the Mitsouri river is in
need of better chanel, or from the Up
per Mississippi region, which desires
better waterway to St. Louis.

JAPAN ASKED TO MODIFY TERMS
Pressure Being Exerted at Toklo by
President Roosevelt and
the Power.
Portsmouth, N. II., Ang. 19. Black
pessimism reigns at Portsmouth. Th
prevailing view is that the fate of th
peace conference is already settled,
that it has ended in failure, and that
all that now remains ia for the plenipo
tentiaries to meet on Tuesday, to whkb
day they adjourned yesterday afternoon
upon completing the consideration of
the Japanese terms, sign th final pro
tocol, go through the conventions and
bid each other farewell. In other
words, that the meeting Tuesday will
be what diplomacy calls th "seance
d'adieo."
But there is still room for hope ot
compromise. Neither President Rooee
velt nor the powers will see the chance
of peace shipwrecked without a fianl
effort, and that pressure is being exert
ed, eepecialy at Tokio, to induce Japan
to moderate her terms, is beyond ques
tion. Just what is being done or is to
be done has not transpired. King Ed
ward is understood to be now lending a
helping hand and the financiers ot th
world are known to be exerting all their
energies. At Tokio and Bt. Petersburg
the final issuo will be decided.
