lie Warns His Subjects 70 Beware
Of the swollod Head

Tho Central News correspondent in
Toxic telegraphs d summary Of an im-
perial proclamation issued Monday 10
the japanese people The emperor
says he Is convinced that tho peace
concluded at Shimonoseli will promote
the national prosperity, which has ever
been his highest aim
The glorious result Of the war had
been achieved by the harmonious eff
forts of the whole nation. The minis
ters, the army, the navy and peoples
Representatives Ia the diet had done
everything in their power 10 make ia
pan strong and ready to realize the
emper0r's aspirations. They had
omitted nothing in porfectiDg the
plans Of national defense. The sol
diers and sailors Of the empire had
won everlasting glory by their beha-
yior abroad. They had advanced and
fought, unmindful of winters bitter
cold and summers blazing heat, and
they had triumphed everywhere They
had earned q worldwide reputation
for discipline and humanity. No
praise was too high for their loyalty
and valor and the glory both had add
ed to the empire.
At the same time, much remained to
be done in the march toward higher
civilization. It was 10 be hoped that
the loyal subjects of the empire would
realize this and would guard against
the dangers of vanity and conceit
They should cultivate a spirit Of mod
esty and humility and strive to per-
feet their military defenses, although
without going to the extremes Of ma
tional armament. They should pro-
mote education and seek to know the
refinementsLbut not the efficiency
of life.
The emperor rebukes sharply those
who, in the intoVication of victory,
seem inclined to insult friendly pow
ers and Complicate the empires for
eign relations. Now that the breaches
of faith had been repented, the ex-
change of the treaty Publications
should inaugurate a period of forgive
ness and friendship. The emperor
closes the proclamation with the state
ment that strict obedience to his
wishes, as indicated in this document,
will be exacted from all his subjects.
Extends to all Powers.
A dispatch from Toxic to the Cen
trail News says that in view of the
various European miscellaneous and
misrepresentation in regard to the
Chino-Japanese treaty of peace, the
government confirms that the CONNER
cial concessions obtained by Japan
were not exclusive, but extend to all
treaty powers. Japan secured these
privileges for the general good of all
countries, and, therefore, expects her
efforts to meet with friendly apprecia-
ton.
Where China Borrows Money.
The Cologne Gazette, of Berlin,
says: "The loan of 80, 900, 600 marks
at 6per cent, which has been concluded
with a syndicate of German bankers,
is merely a provincial transaction
which was arranged some time ago by
the viceroy of Nankin The Chinese
government has opened negotiations
for an indemnity loan of EOS, 900, 600
with a syndicate Of British, German
. and French bankers"
A Permanent Menace.
: The Temps, of Paris, says in {
strongly worded leader on the terms
of peace; 'The treaty will constitute
} a permanent menace to the interests
t of Europe. 1t is grave infringement
; on the rights of the powers whose pos
> sessions have a common frontier will
, China, and Europe will find it difficult
to understand or forgive the one west
: ern power that is selfshly holding
aloof and thus destroying the efficacy
of the peaceful intervention of thu
: others"
: What is Russia About?
The London Times correspondent
: in Kobe says; 1.-THE leave of oil tn
t officers of the Russian warships, boil
9 here and at Nagasaki, has been stopped
: and the crews are confined to thei
vessels. The Russian legation has in
/, structed the commanders to be read,
: to sail at twelve hours notice"
r Let Them Settle 1t.
, The Times further says: SIT is to-
o easily assumed that the powers hav
+ the right to step in at the conclusion
q of the war and dictate the condition
n of peace. The present appeal for
t demonstration of European concert
d not justified, prima facie, either b
y precedent or policy. We believe pub
S lie opinion on the continent, as ais
y generally here, will let the questio
d between China and Japan settle itself
We decidedly believe the government
