TREATY NOW BEING
PUT INTO SHAPE
News Of the CONCLUSION Of Peace Re-
eelVed in Russia With Little Con.
eern--Why japanese Waived
Indemnity.

st. Petersburg news of the
successful completion OF the prelim.
mary negotiations for peace at Ports
mouth has been received here with
out marked or even notable express
sions of satisfaction or dissatisfaction.
Tranquility is perhaps the best term
with which to convey the sentiment
of practically all classes, including
the officials.
The prevailing sentiment among the
thinking element is that Japan arrived
at recognition of the fact that It was
really impossible for Russia to make
any further concessions. because she
desired to avoid arousing among the
people at home sentiments which
would constitute most serious
menace in the future. II Is recognized
here that Japan also - realized the
necessity for lasting and stable
peace. and It is believed that the sue
cess of the conference VAS due to the
fact that both nations sincerely de-
sired to effect an understanding.
The hope is expressed here that the
spirit so necessary to be achieved at
Portsmouth will obtain until the work
Of the plenipotentiaries has been
finally concluded. To this feeling
can be ascribed the fact that the more
intelligent Russians do not regard the
outcome at Portsmouth as being alto
gether a diplomatic victory or a sue
cess won at the expense of Japan.

WHY THEY ACCEPTED.
Japanese Looking to the Future When
They Made Peace.

Portsmouth.-The following state.
ment of the Japanese argument which
governed their decision to waive the
question Of indemnity can be accepted
as authoritative:
Japan realized fully she was max
ing a sacrifice for peace, but she was
looking to the future 1t was not a
question Of whether the war could be
successfully continued. but of whether
peace was not now more advantageous
to Japan
Japan had already gained all she
fought for. II was only the 'spoils OF
war that remained and having
achieved the real objects of the war
she could afford to forego the spells
rather than be placed In the position
Of fighting for money. While Japan
believed she was entitled to the spells.
she felt that her position was so
strong. her success so complete that
she could yield without detracting
from the force of her victory"
