The people of st. Petersburg have
sFeived with composure the news,
Known to the rest of the world a day
earlier. of the fate Of Port Arthur.
The event had been anticipated, ana
under official direction the minds or
the populace were prepared to re-
ceive with resignation the
ment of the fact by the publication
of dispatches forwarded last week by
General Stoessel describing the straits
to which the garrison had been reduc-
ed The expectation in some quarters
/ that the surrender of the fortress
would be followed at the capital by
anti-war demonstrations has not been
realized. So far as there has been
any expression of feeling, it has been
for carrying on the war, with all ne
yigor possible. At Toxic last night
the surrender of Port Arthur was cell
ebrated by a lantern procession n
a general illumination. The japanese
diet will formally express the thanks
of the nation to General NOg1 for MS
conduct of the siege.
Among Russian officials there is a
feeling that any proposals or peace
that may be made must be with the
fact in view hat in order that peace
must be lasting, Japan must

ships through waters of the FAR east.
High Japanese officials declare tnat
there is no probability of
coming from their government look
ing toward peace negotiations. in Of
fetal quarters in st. Petersburg 1t Is
said that no tender Of good offices
from a third party would be accepted
and that any proposals for peace must
come from Japan direct.

where some rings were kept he took an
opportunity Of slipping into tho rooms,
took the rings and went out and
pawned them. 1t was deeply laid

Dr. MERCER did not say that tho

certainly It was not the conduct OF
normal child who had that very day
been soundly thrashed for stealing A
normal child could be made to appre-
ciate and recognize what he had done,
but this child could not BE- made to
appreciate IT,
There was another case OF a young
man who, while attending one OF the
military colleges as student, stole
some clothes and wore them In the
presence OF their rightful owners He
was amply supplied with clothes AID
money by his parents but he liked
these clothes better than his own, and
took them. He could not be persuaded
that IL was wrong thing TO do, but
there was no other symptom In him of
imbecilty

case OF a nurse who he said. had pois.

any intellectual defect In her. She
was found morally insane because no
motive could be traced. Indeed the
persons she poisoned were her intamate

asylum for several years symptoms Of
definite insanity began to exhibit
themselves, and she soon became very
