TREATY PREGNANT WITH ELE.
MENTs OF HUMILIATION AND
FUTURE DANGER.
CAUSES GREAT INDIGNATION
CLAUSE IN WHICH JAPAN
AGREES NOT TO FoRTiFY
soYA STRAIT.

Toxic, Sept. 24.-The number OF di-
rect memorials to the throne from diff
ferent associations and individuals
condemning the peace treaty and ask
ing that it be not ratified exceeds
forty, among which is an address
signed by six professors of the i'm
perial university, one of whom recent
ly was placed on the retired list ow-
ing to his strongly worded anti-peace
thesis.
This memorial strongly weighs the
necessity of refusing to ratify the
peace treaty and condemns it as en-
tirely annulling the purpose of the war
as set forth in the declaration of hos
tilities. 1t is also stated that indis-
putable reasons exist for
Refusing to Ratify
the treaty which is deemed to be
pregnant with elements of humiliation
and future danger to the national in
terests. In conclusion the signers of
this address say they humbly beg the
throne to condescend to consider the
spirit in which the address is pre-
sented.
In spite of the persistent editorials
in the leading newspapers demanding
the resignation of the cabinet, it is
believed that the ministers will con-
tinue to hold Office until after the
adoption of the post-bellum measures,
especially those regarding finance and
the Chinese and Korean problems.
Causes Intense Indignation.
1t transpires that, in spite of Pre-
mier Katsura's assurance to the con-
trary to the editors, there exists a
clause in the peace treaty by which
Japan undertakes not to fortify Soya
strait. AS a result, intense indigna-
ton is felt among the influential class,
as this Is deemed to be the greatest
humiliation Japan has ever suffered
The restriction thus placed on her ter
ritorial liberty and as constituting the
blacklist record in the history of a
country which has never experienced
defeat at the hands of other nations.
Not few papers tomorrow are ex-
pected to print strongly worded edi-
torials on this subject.
The constitutionalists are gradually
assuming firm attitude of opposi-
ton to the government.
To Raise Ban on Papers.
The editors of ten daily papers met
yesterday and appointed a committee
to make representations to the gov
eminent on the subject of the unusual
ly long suspension of the Asahi and
four other evening newspapers. The
committe had an interview with Gen.
Sakuma, commander-in-chief of the
Toxic garrison, who is in charge of the
enforcement of martial law, and other
authorities. and it is expected that the
unfortunate newspapers soon will be
allowed to resume publication.

Finnish Turner'S, Differed by Swedes,

cargoes of ammunition have been
landed and distributed. Guns for the
revolutionists have been supplied and
carefully concealed.
Nine hundred representatives of the
Finnish people were to have met in
Helsingfors within the last few days
to proclaim the independence of Fin
land, but a shipwreck which occurred
a fortnight ago disarranged the plans
of the leaders and prevented the
meeting. prominent Finnish sena-
tor said yesterday:
"That shipwreck has only delayed
our independence. The treaty of 1909,
which united Finland to Russia, did
not give the latter suzerainty over the
former, but joined the two in union
similar to that between Sweden and
Norway.
1.-THE parties to the union were free
to withdraw at will. If home rule is
not granted us, and Russian encroach-
ments are not stopped, we will secede.
Aided by KarIstad Conference.
"The Karlstad conference in set
ting the differences between Sweden
and Norway has paved the way for a
Scandinavian union. Denmark alone
is unable to resist Prussian encroach-
ments, nor can we resist the en-
croachments of Russia but united
Scandinavians, supported by England
and France, could withstand the ag-
gression of the kaiser and the car"
A large increase in the number of
Russian troops in Finland is expected
soon. About $500 will be sent to
Helsingfors, 900 will go to Viborg and
800 to Vasa. The troops will be quar-
tered in private houses.
