FAOS REAL STRUGGLE BETWEEN PEACE PLENIPOTENTIARIES HAS BEEN MERELY POSTPONED Hatiinlay Afternoon's Conference Was Devoted Entirely to Discussion of Article' of Japanese Terms Concerning Korea, Wittc Declaring That Bnssia Will Not Object to Seizure of Uerniit Kingdom by Japan, bnt Would Prefer That She Openly Arow Her Purpose Instead of Concealing It. NO MEETING HELD SUNDAY; SITUATION IS STILL UNCHANGED.

BT ASOCIATED Pit ESS. Portsmouth. X. Auc. 11-Xo pro-resa bas been made with the peace negotiations over Sunday.

TUey stand exactly where they did Uat night. The session of the plenipotentiaries which wai to hae been held this after noon was postponed by mutual agreement out of deference to the fact that it was Sunday, which Is universally observed In Itussia as a day af rest. The Ituadatu had not been anxious for a session tills morning the Japanese took the initiative and. through the intermediation of Mr. Peirce.

it was decided tu postpone the sitting until to-morrow morning. The situation therefore remains the same, would perhaps not be too much to say that the general feeling is mora hopeful. In spite of open predictions made Personages connected with both aides of the negotiations 'hat before nest Sunday the plenipotentiaries wiU reach aa Impasse where a rupture will become Inevitable. This pessimistic view Is based upon the fact that so fsr as known the two big barriers to an acreement-Indemnlty and Sakhalin-remain as high and Insurmountable as ever. aWAt.

Smi-GaLE UV POSTPOXKO. The real struggle Is only postponed. The main problems are no nearer solution than when the plenipotentiaries met. The prlnclpiii reaon for optimism lies in the fact that, confronted with the absolute refusal of the KussUrt reply to admit the dicuKlnn of either Indemnity or the ces-rton ot the Island of Sakhalin, the Japanese proposed to take up the consideration of th conditions seriatim. From this It is assumed that the Japanese are prepared ta yield or have reason to believe a way will be found to overcome tha objections of their adversaries when the crucial teat comes.

An mtlmarhyrr comejs-from a high soorr that very strong outside Influences are at work on both sides and that for the moment the effort Is to gala time. The plan of having Russia practically satisfy Japan's claim of reimbursement for the con of tle war by the purchase of the Jnpanes military evacuation of Sakhalin continues to be advanced. Such a solution would permit Russia to say she had neither paid indemnity nor c-ded a foot of territory. KOREA IIEBATKD TEKTERDtV.

NEBRASKAN AMUSED BY ANTICS tialoon Smasher Stores Trowd in Union Station, Slapping at Cigarettes Nearly Misses Train Kiely Watches. Colon! William J.

Bryan was in St. Louis for a few hours last night, leaving on the for Decatur. III. On tha same train with Colonel Bryan was lira. Carrie Nation, who went to Utclifiehl to keep a lecture engagement.

It happened that Governor Folk entered the station at about the same time, on his way to Kirks, ille. where he Is to lay a corner stone and deliver an address this afternoon. Mrs. Nation was warm in her praise of Colonel Uryjn, and in a retrospective way rather appreciative of the good work of Governor Folk. There was some modification, however, to ber prau-e of Missouri's chief executive.

"I wxs on a train out iu Kansas tlio other day." said Mrs. Nation, "and I beard that the great Governor of Missouri then and there took a drink of that vile stuu called whisky. That settled him with me. He may enforce the laws and b- a good public servant, but I won't have anything good to my uf a man who ana drink. So there!" Colonel Bryan, not raring to discuss politics and sumptuary legislation, stepped aboard the train.

UUVAN IS AMUSED. Mrs. Nation remained on the platform until the conductor announced the departure of the train. She amused herself lecturing a crowd of young men and station ushers who gathered aroand her. and Interrupted her discourse several times to knock cigarettes and cigars from the mouths of smokers.

They only Jollied her Into a heated argument. While Mrs. Nation was lecturing the crowd Colonel 'Bryan remained on the step of the tram and laughed heartily at the funny pranks of the Kansas saloon smasher. It was the iv timet that Colonel Uryaa met Mia. Nation, and he took a great Interest In the woman antics.

Mrs. Nation chased a yotmg man alt the way to one of the Iron gates leading to the Midway la an endeavor to spal a cigarette from hi mouth. Tha chase was an exciting one. but the young mar. proved the better sprinter.

It was witnessed by a large crowd of trainmen and tourists, who encouraged Mra. Nation with shouts. Colonel Bryan enjojt-d ilia sprint Immensely, and laughed so heartily that. he suffered a coughing spell and had to retire to the Pullman car for a drink of water. Mr.

Nation had to be lifted upon the sup of the moving train by the porter. as the train pulled out Just as she was re turning from her run to the Midway. She wr.s breathless and remarked that the young man ought tu be "spanked. Chlif Klely. who was at the station to meet Governor Folk, stood bark and watched Mrs.
