ARE AFRAID
OF PEACE
Financial Kings Of London Insur
ing Against Probable Close
of War.
RUSSIANS ARE DIVIDED
An Editor Says to Sue For Cecessasion
Now Would Be the Crack Of Doom
for the FatherIand.

London, Jan. 6.-SpecuIators who
have been selling Russian and Japan
ese bonds, becoming frightened at the
rumors of peace, are insuring against
the early termination of the war. Both
yesterday and today policies were TAX
en- out at Lloyds against the cessation
Of hostiIities prior to April 80.
Desires No Peace.
st. Petersburg, Jan. 6.-Regarding
the peace talk abroad NJ Souvorin,
editor of the Novoe Vremya in signed
article in that paper today passionately
declares that the voice of the nation
| should give an answer in order that the
world might understand, once for all,
Russia's position. The Emperor, he
added, should consult with the repre-
sentatives of the land as his predeces-
sors did before the days of John, the
Terrible While papers abroad now
ay that peace could be concluded with
out dishonor, if peace were made they
would declare it disgraceful.
Russia Must Go On.
What people want he, (Souvorin)
cannot affirm but the idea of ending
the war at this juncture is abhorrent to
him and he believes to the Russian
people. If inscriptions on the banners
used in present demonstrations and
the action of some OF the Zemstvos in
favor of peace represents the voice of
the nation it would mean the collapse
of Russia's aspirations and the fare
we'll to her position in the far east and
to her dreams Of an open road to the
sea. It would also mean the creation
of yellow peril' in Asia which
would threaten civilization and mean
Russia's retirement into her Muscov-
ite shell and her disappearance from
the stage of this great power. The
army, he further states, holds the hon.
or and fate of Russia in it's hands. He
then reviews sorrowfully the record of
the bitter humiliations suffered thus
far and the chances of the future. In
conclusion he declares that the govern
ment must decide and weigh well the
consequences, but the editor insists
that the people must be united as "dis-
union, riots and revolution mean the
downfall of the fatherland."
EngIand's Grave.
St. Petersburg, Jan. Count Toll
stoi's son, Leo, in an article upon
Great Britain's constant desire to en-
barass Russia, declares Great Britain
is digging her own grave and Fastening
her own end if she forces war with
Russia, las France, Germany and
Italy are bound to realize that their in
terests lie with Russia's."

Toxic, Jan. 6.-The Russian battle
ships at Port Arthur have not yet un-
dergone an official inspection by the
Japanese. From view of portions of
those warships which at the last mo.
ment were destroyed by Russia, it
seems evident that there were no in
terror explosions, and it is hoped by
bhe Japanese that the damages can be
repaired. The docks are partially de-
stroyed and filled in and the dock
gates have been damaged. The great
crane Is still intact and serviceable.
