Portsmouth, N. H , Aug. 17.—The
fpllowing is the official statement of
the afternoon session of Auguet 17:
In tbe afternoon sitting of August
17, articles 10 and 11 have been ois-
cussed. Regarding article 10 tbe
plenipotentiaries have shown a diver-
gence of^opinion which has not been
settled. The discussion of article 11
has been received for further discus 1
•ion.
The conference has adjourned until
tomorrow. |
Portsmouth, N. H.. Aug. 17.—The
crisis in the peace conference has
been reached and pessimism is again
the note.
But the darkest hour is jost before
dawn, and there is still hope. Predic-
tions of a final rupture tomorrow cer-
tainly will not be justified unless
Baron Komura figuratively picks up
his hat and announces that it is use-
less to proceed farther, .vlr. Wltte
at least will.not be precipitate. At
tomorrow's session, after article 11
(the limitation on Russia'*state pow-
er in the far east) and article 12 (fish-
ing right* on the Russian littoral) are
disposed of, be will favor an adjourn-
ment until iMonday to hear tbe last
word from St. Petersburg.
The pessimism tonight is based on
the fact tbat no progress was made
today. The exchange of views at tbe
uiorn:ng vexsion on article V showed
tbat tbe plenipotentiaries were as I
far apart at the poles and it was pass-
ed over Article 10 (the surrender of
the interned Russian warships) was
al-o passed, not in the opinion of one !
of the .plenipotentiaries when tne j
Associated Press saw him tonight, slory °* the financial crash, involving
because it could not have been ar-1 8everal states and hundreds of men,
ranged in the shadow of the two main ! that fo,,owed his collapse. The af-
r j dispute* hanging over tbe conference. fa,T the ta"1 °*the laml *or a month
but both sides were cautious and pre-
ferred to postpone it to ihe end. Ar-
J tide 11, imitation of sea power, is
| aiso adjustable iifter modifications,
[ and article I.' will uresent no ditticul- 1
; j ties. So that tonight the situation is i
| j practically where it was when Mr. J
; Wine last Saturday presented the ' - ' -y~
; Russian reply with its non possimus _

| compromise- Russia to yield Sakba-I Company
| tin ami Japan indemnity. Neither
I will do both and perhaps Japan at the
' final show ut hands will yield neither.
j Mr. Witt.-, under tne imperial Iodic:,-
1 Hon* contained in the instructions
tfiven him before he left St. Peters-
■ burg, can agree neither to pay war
tribute nor cede a fnm 01 Russian
soil. St. Petersburg, ttieretore. In
the last report remains tj be heard
j from. Doubtles" this 1. the reason
why he favors a postponement tomor- \
I row over Saturday liaron Komura
j probably will welcome an adjourn- j
j mcnt of two days in order that he !
al-o may lay the situation t>efore his J
| government for Its final dectslou. The i
sudden revival of deep pessimism to- I
bight was induced by the dispatches
given out when the plenipotentiaries
returned lo the bolel that no progress
had been made today. Hut to those
on ihc Inside tbat «s not surprising.
Things have Rone -monthly enough,
only the impasse had been reached-
there had been tbe glint of cold steel
ta tbe coafeitoce cbumbcr.
