SEE MIKADO'S TRIUMPH
EUROPEAN BOURSES SHOW RISE
IN JAP SECURITIES.
Consensus of Opinion on the Situation
Crisis at Port Arthur
Approaching.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, June u.-A cablegram from
London says European bourse, the best
barometers in the old worlds International
affairs, show conditions favorable to Japan.
On all leading exchanges toward the end of
the week there has been rise in Japanese
securities.
In London financial circles the triumph
of the mikado is looked upon as practically
assured.
In Paris the official view of Russias abil-
ity to cope with the "venomous dwarfs' Is
becoming pessimistic. .t
German military critics pronounce Kufo-
patkin's position as perilous in the ex-
treme.
Europe outside Of Russia will not be sur
prised to see the fall of Port Arthur, follow
ed by great reverse to kuropatkin at
Liaoyang. No credence is given to the
talk of the Black sea fleet passing the Dar-
danelles, and the announcement reiterated
that the Baltic fleet will sail for the east in
September is regarded as a spectacular
bravadO.
Praying for Success.
A cablegram from ST. Petersburg says:
There is feeling in all circles that crisis
in affairs at Port Arthur Is rapidly ap-
preaching, and in several quarters most
pessimistic feeling as to the outcome is ex-
pressed. Many persons spent the night in
churches on their knees praying for the
success of the Russian army.
Effect Of Kuroki's Advance
In semi-off1cial quarters 1t is thought the
advance of the japanese under Kuroki has
made it impossible for Kuropatkin to pro-
ceed southwark, and hence the garrison at
the fort must fight IT out without reinforce
ments. rumor that Port Arthur has fall
confirmed.

The gossip about a successor to Attorney
GereIa al Knox upon the retirement OF tina I
ChiCiai to so into the Senate carries with IL
5hc names of number of men of prcn,i-
L"nce. Secretary Moody who is pronli-
nenty discussed in this connection, was at
the White House this morning. He said
that he did not think that it would be
proper for him to discuss the stories about
himself. Mr. Moody has long contemplated
retiring from the cabinet some time next
Year to again begin the practice of law.
but il is not fully known whether he would
change his plans for awhile 10 take up the
work of the Department of Justice. by
reason OF much important litigation ahead
the office would afford excellent opportunity,
for active work in the courts, which would
be to the liking of Secretary Moody.
1t is considered among the strong
proba bilities ihat Mr. Moody will succeed
Mr. Knox. The President holds him so
high that he will undoubtedly endeavor 10
get Mr.. Moody to exchange cabinet posi-
tions, and, the change would suit The
future intentions of MIR. Moody, there Is a
strong chance that Mr.. Moody will accept.
He is acquainted with the purposes and
policies of the President in trust legsla-
tion and would be in position 10 carry the
work on without interruption.
Joseph ii. Choate, the ambassador of the
United States to Great Britain is also
being talked of. and the President is rep
resented desiring to have Mr. Choate
enter the cabinet in Mr.. knoXs place. Mr..
Choate, however, is we'll pleased with his
present position, which suits his tastes and
incin&tions, and there is every prospect
that he will remain in England as long as
Mr.. Roosevelt is President. The fact that
Mr.. Cortelyou's coming departure from the
cabinet to act as chairman of the republic
can national committee will leave New
tatf In, hat
may cause the President to consider the
appointment of some person from that
state either as Attorney General or as
Secretary of Commerce and Labor in place
of Mr.. Cortelyou. 1t is stated that sue
cessor 70 Mr.. C'ortelyou has practically been
selected and will be announced upon Mr..
Cortelyous taking up the work of the re-
publican national committee.
