from entering into a serious conflict

wise be attained. France is resolved
to support Russia in this position. Re-
ports from England show that country
is lending support to Japan" The
terms of peace agreed upon between

the Notifications of Port Arthur and

manent occupation. The terms of the
settlement will probably not be d.
vulged until the treaty is ratified.
