H., aug. 13.-no pro Gress has been Mailo with the peace negotiations Over sunday. They stand exactly where they did Laht night. The session of the plenipotentiaries which was to have been held this afternoon was postponed by Mutual agreement out of reverence the fact that it was the holy Sabbath which in universally observed in Russia As a Day of rest. Tho russians Hud not been anxious for a session to Duy and this morning the japanese took the initiative and through the inter mediation of or. Pierce it was decided to postpone the sitting until to Morrow morning. The situation therefore remains the same. It would perhaps not to too much to say that the general feeling is Jioji Etil in spite of predictions made by Nikii connected Wotli both aides of the negotiations that before next sunday the plenipotentiaries will reach an inn she where a rupture will become inevitable. This pessimistic View is based upon the fact that so far As known the big barriers in the and is High and in surmountable As Ever. Tho real Strug Gle is Only postponed. Tho main prob lems Are no nearer solution than when the plenipotentiaries met. The Prin Cipal reason for opt leu lies in the fact that confronts with Tho absolute refusal of the russian reply to admit the discussion of either indemnity or the cession of the Island of Sakhalin the japanese proposed to take up the consideration of the conditions him. From this it is assumed that the japanese Are prepared to yield or have reason to believe a will to found to overcome the objections of their adversaries when the crucial test an intimation Cornea from a High source that very Strong i outside influences Are at work on both sides and that for Tho moment the Effort is Toffan to tin.
