TOXIC IS QUIET;
TERMS Of PEACE
ARE EXPLAINED

Toxic, Sept $3.50 p m. delayed in transmission)- AT an
informal meeting which took place today between the premier, Count
Katsura and members of both houses representing their respective
parties and associations, Count Katsura made a full statement con-
corning the peace negotiations. 1t now transpires that the report that
Cape Soya, on LaPerouse Straits, could not be fortified is unfounded,
the only stipulation made with Russia being in regard to the free
passage of the straits.
Japan acquires a suzerainty over Corea and will control entirely
with a free hand the affairs of the peninsula railroad south of Chang
ehun, the former being coded to Japan, with the right to retain mill
tary guards for the protection of the railroad. Japan also holds the
right to retain the coleries at Fushan and Yentan, even after the,
evacuation by the Russians. About 10 months is the period allowed
to complete the removal of the Russian troops from Manchuria.
