GREAT sY TREATY OF PEACE.


NEW YORK, Sept 16-That the sue.
cessful outcome of the Russo-Japanese
peace conference in Portsmouth, n. H.,
has given the United States an i'm
mense influence in world politics is the
testimony given by DR. Nicholas Muir
ray Butler. president of Columbia uni
versity, who has just returned from a
three months tour in European coun-
tries.
Everywhere" said DIR. Butler, Il
heard enthusiastic praise of the stand
taken by the United States. The pres
ident was spoken of in terms of the
highest respect and admiration. | cam
not say that it Increased his prestige,
for so greatly was he admired and re-
spected before that that would be i'm
possible. The conclusion of the nego-
tiations was satisfactory to. Europe,
1t was thought that enough bonds, had
been fioated by both belligerents.
While it would have been possible for
Japan and Russia to obtain more mon
ey, it was felt that the withdrawing of
more capital from Europe and locking
it up so it might not be used in the
development of industries was not to
be desired. The issuing of more bonds
would have been a tax on the market
and at the same time would have been
likely to depreciate the bonds already
taken. 1t is the general opinion over
there that the best thing possible was
done In signing treaty of peace at
this time
DR.. Butler said that thinking men in
Europe greatly deplored the nagging
spirit shown by certain of the British
and German journals.
THAT" said he, II think is the only
disturbing factor in European affairs
at the present time. There are some
English Journals, most of them high
class, too, AND several magazines which
are continually haunting Germany, and
there are German publications which
pursue the same policy toward every
thing English. The cause of it all is
an industrial and commercial rivalry,
for Germany is making wonderful
progress from material point of
view"
