BARON KANEK0,S OPINION.
Japan Has Achieved All She Fought
 For.

New York, Aug. 29-That Japan has achieved all she fought for and that the question of indemnity was of minor importance compared to the establish ment of her position among the na- tions, and other advantages, gained, was the opinion of Baron Kaneko, the Japenese emperors financial agent in this country, expressed tonight after he had received dispatches from Ports- mouth confirming the published reports of peace.
 Naturally" said Baron Kaneko, 1T am quite pleased. Japan has achieved much. True, we received no indemnity, but compared with what we have gain- ed the money matter becomes of sec- ondary importance. The peace of the world is dear to Japan. She has achiev- ed so much that I am not surprised that our envoys waived the mere ques- ton of money when it stod between peace and war.
 We fought for the national existence of Japan. We have secured it. Our portion in Sakhalin, lost years ago through diplomacy, has been re-estab- ton of money when it stood between its former boundary"

ST. PETERSBURG sURPRTsED.
Hope of Pence Had Abont Been AbamS
 doned.

St. Petersburg, Aug. so.-The Associ- ated Press dispatches from Portsmouth brought the first news of the results of the peace conference. It came as an electric surprise as official and diplo- matic circles had been practically with out hope of a successful result of the negotiations. The news became known to only a comparatively few persons up to midnight, outside of diplomatic cir cles, among few officials and in the newspaper offices, and consequently there was no expression of public feel-E ing one way or the otiter. At this hour there is absolutely nothing to indicate even to 8 close observer that the. eighteen-months war is at an end.
 Wherever the news was known sur prise and even amazement was ex- pressed that Japan had so completely met the Russian demands, but the re- eeption of the news. so far as it had gone up to the time this dispatch was dled, was calm and ayen apathetic.

THREATENS MANK ARRESTS,
Railroad Employees Ignore Direction Of Bridgeport Coroner.

Bridgeport, Aug. 29.- Coroner Doten is contemplating making wholesale ar rests among employees of the Consoli- dated road. He directed that the crews of the two trains. which crashed togeth- CT Saturday night, and the operators and otheres acquainted with the facts, appear before him to testify, but the direction has been entirely ignored. The men are apparently going about their regular duties without the slight est intention of appearing until they are taken into custody and made to do so. The situation is unusual, as the railroad has generally seconded every effort of the coroner in inquests made necessary through deaths in wrecks.

A strong wind caused the post. ponement of the latter feature, but the crowd saw six heats of the stake event raced before the deciding heat went over until tomorrow. with Allerson and Edwin c, both having two heats to their credit, while the faYorite, Wall ter Direct, after capturing the second and third heats, became lame in the fourth and was distanced. He went off his feet as he turned the first quarter in that heat. and the entire field went. by him. Geers managed to get him go- ing again, but too late. and he finished outside the flag. All the heats in the event were closely contested.
 In the first raceto be called. the APO trotting class for a $20o0 purse, Deleree was favorite over the field. and Har-. rison Wilkes the second choice The latter won the first two heats, dropped the next two to Leonardo, and in the fifth heat took the race. Tn the first heat he lowered his mark a half sec ona, to 2:11 1-4.
 The bay mare Ethel.s Pride, on ac-. count of previous performances, was thought to be the best of the field in the 2:13 trotting class for a $2.000 purse, i. but failed to come up to expectations. Lizzie c, driven by A. l.. McDonald, had the. pole iii this race and carried off both heats, although each heat fur 1lished pretty contest.
 Tn the 2:13 pacing class Phalla was more favored by the talent, with Lady sealsktn a good second choice. Queen of Spades, who received slight backing, captured the first heat after which Lady Sealskin took the next two and. the race, getting mark of 2:O6 1-2 in the final one. Summary:
