Nell Gwynne," the play at the opera

than passing mention, the version pre-

News OF the Japanese victory on
Port Arthur was received In Astoria
yesterday with expressions OF delight
on the part OF most of the people Local
sympathy is in the main with the jap
anese, for several reasons. The average
American sympathizes with the
weaker combatant almost invariably.
The Russians are despised ON account
OF the Jewish massacres recently occur
ring and because Of the Siberian hor-
rors that have so long characterized
Russian punishment. There is an ele-
ment that stoutly upholds the course
OF Russia. This element feels that the
Japanese are still heathens and deplores
what looks like certain victory Of heath
ems over civilized people. There are
enough OF the pro- Russian agitators
10 furnish plenty OF argument and the
war is daily fought out in the resorts
around town. Russia has always been
oppressive towards the Finnish people,
and the large Fin population here is
joyously receiving the news Of the jap
victories There are about $50 or 4OeI
Japs In Astoria and all are intensely
interested in the war; The better edu-
