the deplorable internal situation, such
step would not have been taken IL
the government seriously contemplated
a continuation of the war.
Prices on the bourse yesterday were

Notifies Roosevelt.
The situation regarding the arms
tice is as follows:
Russia has formally signitied to Pres.
ident Roosevelt her desire for a lasting
peace, not only by the appointment OF
plenipotentiaries who will be accompa-
MED by eminent experts fully empoW-
cred to conclude treaty, subject only
to this ratification OF the respective
governments, but as final step as in
Dictated her readiness to suspend hos
tilities. She has avoided formally
asking for an armistice as a matter OF
pride, but under the circumstances
Russia could hardly go further than
she has.
Japan, so far as known, las not yet
indicated her attitude, or if she has,
Russia up to this time has not been so
informed. In diplomatic circles the
most earnest hope is expressed that
Japan will consent both for the sake
of avoiding further bloodsled in Man
churia and perhaps in order to prevent
catastrophe in Russia which may
shake the Romanoff throne and appalI
the world by it's horrors.
Faces a Revolution.
An eminent ambassador of a great
European power said to the Associated
Press:
If Japan declines, it may prove to
be a misfortune for the whole world.
The position of Russia is critical. The
emperor, crushed by the defeats in the
far east and almost civil war at home,
has bowed his mead to the inevitable.
He wants peace and Japan has the
proofs in her possession. Japan has
indicated her power before the world
and has won the admiration OF the
world. Nothing becomes a victor so
much as a broad spirit Of magnanimity.
eff Japan still insists in humbling
the emperor's head into the dust and
forcing a useless battle, which will re
suit in the loss of tens of thousands Of
lives, she may produce cataclysm OF
anarchy greater than that of the
French revolution, which will leave
her no government to negotiate with
besides threatening the peace of Eu-
rope. The usual precedents for the
conclusion of war are reversed in
this case.
can armistice generally precedes an
agreement on the time and place for
meeting of negotiators. Steps have
been arranged, and why should Japan,
simply because she has the advantage
of military situation, administer defeat
with it's accompanying slaughter.
Nothing would be gained by it and
much might be lost
Within ten days Gen. HasegaWa's
army OF 100000 men will be estab-
lished in the village of Russian Ussuri.
He is now but SO miles from the from
tier, and is ready to cross the Tuner
river and to invade the cars territory,
which is helpless, thus becoming po-
tent club in Japan's hands Immediate
Iy to force Russia to conclude peace.
Linevtch Is Beaten.
1t is realized by the general staff
that Gen. Hasegawa intends to keep
Gen. Kasbeck inclosed at Vladivostok.
He therefore will prevent a force from
coming thence to defend Ussnri Ma
tives of that territory cannot defend
themselves, as the whole male popula-
tion already is in active service.
Thus Gen. Hasegawa can overrun
the whole territory from the gulf OF
Peter the Great to the Amur river.
