LONDON, Sept. 9.-It becomes more
evident daily that the effect OF the treaty
OF Portsmouth will be to pacify several
threatening conditions In the international
Affairs Of Europe. The Morocco dispute,
which might have become acute again.
between France and Germany in connec-
tion with the French demands upon the
sultan has completely subsided. and the
friction between Germany and Great Britain
promises again to become latent. Tho
oellef in lasting peace is strong among the
general public, but there are some pessi-
mists
The Sps't-hy has an interesting article
on this subject to-day.
Peace may endure it says. but there
are somber shadows In the picture which
no upIejudiced observer can be content
eHogether to ignore. The rulers OF the world,
u spite OF peace. are sullen, or anxious,
or disappointed. The Court Of st. Peters,
Durg did not expect peace but desired an
other battle. In which 1t hoped for victory.
and Is sulen at what 1t considers the un-

sense Of irritation and disappointment,

produces disastrous consequences. He can
not vlolate the treaty Of Portsmouth,

some Of its consequences an excuse for a

Amiens. There will be hundred occa-
s'ons for declaring the action Of the Japa-

RUSSIAN POLICE MORE ACTIVE.
Those With Right to Vote for Duma Dele

ST. PETERSBURG. Sept. 9.-The extern
sion of the period under which martial
law and the law of reinforced defense are
applied to leading provinces is the greatest
obstacle which the reform parties encounter
in preparing for the election Of delegates
to the imperial duma. The application
Of the reinforced defense regulations in
the provinces Of Moscow. Kieh, st. Peters
burg, KharkOff and Odessa should Or
dinarily expire on Sept. II, but the definite
instructions which have teen issued by
the Imperial Police Department show that
these regulations. which forbid all assem-
blies of political activity, will be prolonged
another year.
The leading organ OF the moderate re-
formers, the Russkv Vicdomosti. makes 1t
clear that since the issue Of the rescript
announcing the formation Of the duma
on Aug. 10 the Government has taken abso-
lutely no step to enable the people who
have votes to meet and discuss their in
terests. There, indeed, has been greater
police activity in dispensing private par
ties in private houses and in preparing
police protocols against supported agra
rians who seok to enter the duma.

tho war commenced, but very little. for
although Russia has been weakened she
also has lost much OF her temptation to
extend her strength in the Far East. She
must attend to Europe, and Russian atten-
tion to Europe Is precisely what the Ger
man Emperor cannot desire. "'
Even France, though she welcomes
peace which relieves her from serious
economic danger. Is restless and irritable
ana Is inclined to doubt whether in the
recent transactions she played very
dignifed part, and Is half disposed to some
rash adventure which may soothe her
wounded self esteem.
Even the British Government is prob
ably not quite happy in its mind. Lord
Lansdowne has achieved what the world
considers justly another diplomatic sue
cess in the renewal Of the Japanese
treaty, and 1t must be very vexing to any
ministry to feel, as this one must feel, that
success on what It deemed the most i'm
portant OF all questions will not prevent
the sentence OF condemnation being passed
for other reasons.
All these disappointments and sullen-
nesses and alarms and presages Of failure
In the governing men Of the world scarcely
tend to that general political serenity which
we all hope for as ooncomitant with peace"
Nevertheless, the Spectator wisely con-
cludes that peace will continue. Its best
safeguards are the new Anglo-Japanese
treaty and the Anglo-French entente. The
Kaiser has probably not abandoned the hope
Of weakening the latter but all Indications
are that any direct attempt to do so will
result in as complete failure as his efforts
in May and June last, and they might, in

SURRENDER OF PORT
ARTHUR AN OUTRAGE
WAR CORRESPONDENT SMITH
CONDEMNED FOR HIS ACT.

According to Richmond Smith, one of
Press and Reuters news service, the
surrender of Port Arthur by General
Stoessel was an outrage. Smith is a
through passenger en- the S. S. Korea.
He went out originally for the London
Standard but was unable to get to the
front. Later he was engaged by the
two news agencies and represented
them with General Nogi's army before
Port Arthur. Smith saw all of the
heavy fighting during the siege of that
fortress.
There was no reason for Stoessel"
he said ito have surrendered when he
did. He had $4,000 fighting men and
should not ave given up. 1t he had
held on the place would be besieged yet
as the Japanese could not have taken
the fortress. The capture of the 203
meter hill gave the Japanese simply
control of the harbor and the Russian
vessels but that position did not COM
mand the main fortress. In fact up
to the time that 2O3 meter hill fell, the
outer fortiications were intact. 1
came back 2S7 Russian officers from
Port Arthur to Japan and they were
unanimous i'm their criticism of Stoes-
sci.
zone serious trouble with the Rus
sian forces was the friction that exist
ed. General Smernoff was originally
the commander at Port Arthur but
Stoessel was sent out later as the gov
ernor of the province which included
Port Arthur, so SmeTnoff was made
commander of the Notifications. There
was constant friction between those
men. The engineering general who
built the Notifications and was killed.
was in reality the life of the Russian
defence. He was in addition to being
a soldier, a diplomat. When he was
killed, the heart seemed to be taken
out of the defence. l think that the
Japanese have the finest infantry in
the world"
