STYLES II Victory for Humanity.


Portsmouth, N. H, Aug. 3O.--Alex-
ander N. Briantchaninoff, correspond
ent of the st. Petersburg Slovo, writ
ing on the situation, says:
Peace so long desired, is at last an
accomplished fact. Few believed In
it, while many thought it impossi' lie.
Humanity, however. imposed peace,
and that great man, the president OF
the American nation, wrought 1t out
with all the force Of his high courage
and generosity of character suggested.
peace has been obtained on such
conditions that no one can find 1T UNI
just or incompatible with the pride OF
the two great peoples rendered enc
mics by deplorable misunderstanding,
while there were all reasons for them
to be friends and to work together for
the civilization of the far east.
'"rhe peace today is victory for
Russia. It shows that when her des-
tiny il intrusted to hands worthy OF a
great people, Russia is an imposing
force.
1T is victory for Japan also, a
moral victory, higher and more re-
spectacle than a material victory, as

that after having obtained all the VIC
tories on land and sea, she did not
allow the chauvinste' feeling to DOM
mate, preferring to be great in peace
as undoubtedly she has been great In
war.
But, above all, 1t is victory for
humanity, of which President Roose-
welt is the noble and energetic cham
pion Humanity wanted at any cost
to stop the butchery, and it acted.
through its organ, the press, which
here in Portsmouth has rightfully been
called the third party interested in
the result of the conference. Indeed,
there have been moments in which the
press and the president rushed to its
rescue and brought it back to life.
"In my capacity as a Russian liberal
/ am especially glad that such an i'm
portant event affecting the internal life
of my worshiped country should have
occurred in the great republic Of the
United States, toward which the eyes
of the Russian reformers are often
turned for examples and lessons of
reasonable energy, of noble and broad
humanitarianism, of elevated patriot
ism, and finally of that liberty Of
which we all dream with so much pas
sion"
New Loans to Follow Peace.
New York, Aug. 3O.-Well informed
banking interests are of the opinion
that the treaty Of peace between Rus
sia and Japan will soon be followed
by a Russian loan and with another
later by Japan.
The extent of these loans will de-
pend largely upon the provisions OF
the agreement between the two coun-
tries. Bankers believe that Russia will
make liberal compensation to Japan
although this may be provided for in
a separate understanding.
1t is known that Russia has made
all preparations for placing part Of a
loan here, and it is well understood
that Japan contemplates raising more
money to pay internal obligations.
Jacob II. schiff Pleased.
Bar Harbor, Me-, Aug. 30-"Japan's
moderation and self-denial rebounds
even more to her honor than the
achievements of her army and navy
said Jacob H. Schiff. "My house, hav-
ing staked Its business Judgment upon
Japan's cause by. aiding in the financ-
ing of her foreign war loans, we feel
naturally doubled pleased at the out
come of the Portsmouth conference.
"The result is to the greatest ex-
tent due to President Roosevelt's abil-
ity, tact, and perseverance. 1t will for
ever glorify his name and greatly add
to the fame Of the United States"
