fairs In the shortest rxw'Me time and with
the least expenee. "When T take charge of
the concern," he said. "I will net do so with
a lew tf holding anion up. I will not

"I a ill taUe charre of the institution

least cot to t!:oe Interexted in the bank.
I want the bank'a co-operation, and e
p-H.t to secure it.
"I don't think It the d-Jty of a receiver
to burden an institution. It is nut right
to tramp on any one Jut because he I
on his uppers. The officer of the bank
will be recognized at eery singe. I could
not do myelf Justice, nor thoe who are
financially interested in the concern. If I
could not get the support of the bank of
ficials I expect to liquidate the bank and
when my work has been completed my
conscience will be clear.
"As to the action of stockholders In
transferring to Mr. Lewis stock estimated
at nearly fwOAOW. I can only say that If
the transfers are strictly in accordance
with tho law. I will not offer the least
Interference. If the stockholders are con
tent to place their! Interests in the hands
of K. a. T-ewIa. and do It as the law re
q jires. there should be no complaint from

"It Is not ray Intention nor desire to take

WITTE DENIES JAPANESE STATEMENT
SPECIAL HY CAULK TO THE REPPR I.IC.
London. Aug. 1G. -The London Times this morninj; prints the fclluwin,:
from Portsmouth under yesterday's dr.te:
"It was asserted to-day. or perhaps reasserted, that the Rubskuis hara
postponed a discussion of critical points to await instructions from the Czar.
It is asserted also that Mr. Wltte wes Instructed, when he first milled tha
Japanese demands to the Czar, not to arrept four, namely: Indemnity, Sak
halin. Mutilation of Russia petal strength 3 Ess Urn sees, and the surrender
of interned ships. t
"I, therefore, repeat on perfett uuthority thpt no ln:.trtiction? v.-ere asked
or reteived by tbe Russian plenipotentiaries from the Czar. I repeat that
these four demands were rejected, but rejected by the Russian plenipoten
tiaries tbeniyelves without Instructions from the Cznr and on their own
responsibility. There waa no accusioa for instructions and it Is not ex
pected that there will be any occasion. 'We are plenipotentiaries In the full
diplomatic sense of the word, and plenipotentiaries we shall remain to tha
end. Such Is. In effect, their view of tht-ir position.
THREE ARTICLES DISPOSED OF ON MONDAY
RELATE TO KOREA MANCHURIA AND PORT ARTHUR.
"The Japanese spokesmaa admits that tbe two articles agreed on yester
day related to Manchuria and Port Arthur. These were numbers two anil
three. Manchuria Is to be evacuated by both Powers and the principle of
tbe open-door la to be recognized. Tbe lease of Port Arthur by China to
Russia is to be transferred to Japaa.
"Tba Chinese Eastern Railway and. perhaps, other questions concerning
Manchuria appear to be doalt wltb la another article.
"Russia and Japanese authorities, though not the highest, differ privately
concerning this agreement. Rut the statement I telegraphed last nijrht a.i
Bade on indisputable sanction. All these three articles. Korea. Manchuria,
and Port Arthur, have taken their final shape both as to form and substance.
If ever there be a treaty, they will be Incorporated la It ax they stand.
Were there no other obstacles, the treaty could be signed to-day.
FOUR VITAL CLAUSES OF THE PROPOSED TREATY
MAY BE REACHED AT TO-DAY'S CONFERENCE.
"But Wednesday is expected to bring the two antagonists for the first
time to close quarters. Even Takahtra. to whom silence and secrecy seem
irtuea or tbe highest order, has allowed It to be inferred that be expects
a crisls-perbaps not THE CRISIS to be reached Wednesday or Thursday.
Japan is supposed to be willing
future Russiaa naval force in tbe far East and oa the surrender of the In
terned ships if Russia will give way on what she thinks is Jar more im
portant indemnity and Sakhalin. It Is. therefore, aosslbie'that aoae of
these four clauses will be accepted or rejected definitely until all four have
bees dlscnased.
"But. whichever comes first, these formidable antagonists will, for tho
f rat time, cross swords fa earnest. Says a great Russiaa authority:
" 'We bare not sought to hasten It. still leas to delay It. They might have
charged us. since they charge us with so many things, with seeking to pre
cipitate the crisis and destroy all hope of peace had we urged them to take
up a critical question out of Ita numerical order.
SAYS RUSSIA WILL MAKE NO CONCESSIONS
INVOLVING HER HONOR ANO DIGNITY.
They say thay are here to make peace. Bo are we. u. we aay, as they
do. let tha world Jadge between as when til shall he kaowa. Nor do wo
arias: froai a tkirailsh or two before tbe battle begins. If they thialc
tbey.aaderstaad as hotter, perhaps we also Bsderstaad thest a little better.
" 'But. let the straggly come wass It assy, yew will tad that, while we
are ready to atake conctssloas aot tavolvtag tho aoaor aad dignity of Ros
sis, wo shall atake aoaa where either of these Is latasrUed.
"I ass told they ask whether oar defeats at fSBaTatiiBt with oar aeaor
or dignity. I aaawor that they who ask that do aot haow tho aMaate of
