NO PE1CE IN SIGHT.
Neither Mediation Nor Intervention
Planned by the Po1CerS.

London, Sept 5.-Carerul inquiries in official
and diplomatic quarters here to-day establish
the fact that no hope prevails of the termina-
ton of the war at this moment as a result OF
the series of victories obtained by the Japanese
at Liao-Yang.
There has been no interchange of official
views by the neutral European governments
ANY discussion which may have taken place has
been entirely personal. and has led TO no re-
suits. to the extent of paving the way to
mediation There is no thought of intervention
The Associated Press has learned. nor can there
be any mediation without the consent OF both
belligerents.
Russia IT is stated emphatically, does not find
the moment opportune to accept the good offices
Of any power. Japan, on the other hand, is
known to be less contented with the present
situation. and would be willing to enter upon
peace negotiations If Russia could be induced
to do But Russia feels, according to state
ments made in Russian diplomatic circles here
that she cannot afford to accept peace until
she has completely indicated her military pres
tige, thereby reasserting her influence in Central
and Far Eastern Asia.

COREAN RIGHTS IN PERIL.
British Viezo of the Recent Agree-
ment z0ith Japan.

London. Sept. 5.-No official representation
will be made by the British government in re-
gard to the Corean-Japanese agreement, but the
authorities are taking lively interest In the
extent OF the intervention of Japan in the affairs
of the Hermit Kingdom. Under the Anglo
Japanese alliance both powers agreed to respect
the independence and integrity of Corea and
the agreement between Japan and Corea is re-
garded as an infringement OF Corean independ-
ence. 1t had been expected. however that If
Japan was successful in the war she would
establish protectorate over Corea The Rus
sian Embassy pointed out to-day that at the
beginning or the war the Russian government
declared 1t would not regard the acts of Japan
In Corea as binding agreements and therefore
they would not receive the recognition of the
Russian government fact which, it is stated
Il Japanese diplomatic circles, does not concern
Japan.

headquarters to-day. but they will not be given
out Until it is possible to put them in order and

In the mean time headquarters refraining

1t is generally known that General Kuro-
patkin succeeded. by means of desperate rear
guard action and strong and we'll handled flank
movements. in withdrawing the great bulk of
the Russian army and that he cut bridges to
hamper the Japanese pursuit.
Critical interests centres in the operations OF
the Japanese right wing which took place late
Friday night and early Saturday morning.
General Kuroki then swung to the westward,
his movement being designed to flank the
mainder of the Russian left at Liao-Yang itself.
It is believed here that General Kuropatkin is
bound to lose many prisoners to the Japanese.
1t is possible, however, that the typographical
difficulties and the overwhelming opposition of
the Russians may check this movement the
part of General Kurok.
Among the japanese officers reported killed
in the battle of Liao-Yang are Lieutenant
Tearouchi. son of Lieutenant General Tea
rouchi. Minister of War; and Leutenants Fuku-

st. Petersburg Sept. 5.-The imperial ukase

the higher class OF Jews to engage In CONNER

favor. The "Novosti," spokesman OF the
Jews. welcomes it, together with the speech of
Prince John Obolensky. Governor General of
Finland. declaring that it is the purpose OF Rus
sia not to destroy Finnish rights. 1t says the
ukase ends the intricate and vexatious restric-
tions introduced by General Ignatieff when

with expressing the hope that it viii be fol-

damaged in the fighting. and the rest were dis
abled by order OF the Russian commander in

General Kuropatkin says nothing regarding
the loss. but it is probable that some of the
heavier emplaced guns had TO be abandoned.
There is no truth either in the report that
General Kuropatkin has been wounded that
Lieutenant General Linevitch is moving to his
support. General Linevitch is still at vladi-

railroad is OF little use TO him, Mr.. WILKINSON
asserts, and he says that Kuropatkn must be
retreatng in series of parallel columns, each
not larger than one army corps, and behind
these the rear guard He adds:
If Kuropatkin can move his army over the
thirty miles that separate Yentai and Moukden,
he viii break the record for such performances.
The Japanese columns will have little difficulty
in coming up with his rear guard and engaging
1t whenever they please.
"The Standard" says: For the first time in
centuries, Europe has gone down before Asia,
and Oriental troops have vanqushed in fair
fighting a western army" Yet the paper goes
on to reiterate that the crowning triumph for
the moment is denied the Japanese. though
Kuropatkin, despite his extraordinary achieve
ment,' IS still exposed to disaster.
THE Daily Telegraph" after declaring that
Kuropatkin's operations and the defence Of
Port Arthur stand out as two fine achieve
ments which have done the most to maintain
the prestige of Russian arms through a cam
paign which otherwise has formed story of
unfathomable incompetence and uninterrupted
disaster" adds that the critical moment of the
retreat is only likely to be reached when Gen
eral Kuropatkin arrives at the Hun River. some
miles south OF Moukden. The paper says:
Once across this serious obstacle. the Russian
forces will be in sufficient safety, though the
passage Of the river may be made a terribly
expensive operation. If the Russian army gets
to Moukden in any considerable force Japan
will have reached the limit of her advantages,
and although convinced that she Will
maintain what she has conquered, she Will have
to face the utmost test in defensive struggle
before the truce of exhaustion is forced upon the
combatants.
''The Times thinks 1t is impossible that the
''neroic rearguard," which defended Lao Yang,
has had time to rejoin Kuropatkin whose long
and dangerous retreat it believes to be serious
ly menaced.
The military critic of 1.-The Times" believes
that Kuropatkin must sacrifice his rearguard II
he hopes TO get the scattered remnants of his
army" to Moukden. He believes that the
Moukden garrison and other troops will come
south to receive the fugitive army" but he is
still doubtful If "the Russians can shake them
selves free from their alert and dangerous foe.
