PARIS. June l4.-Tonignt there Is
a feeling that peace is not near at
hand. The bourse has been restless
all day and Russian securities have
not maintained their own. The news
from Berlin Is that both Germany and
Austria consider the prospects OF
peace between Russia and Japan as
very remote. These two countries
are inclined TO think Russia is not
quite and Japan intends TO inlet a
final and crushing blow upon the Rus
sian army in Manchuria before con
sidering any proposition for peace.

SURPRISE IN LONDON.
British Foreign Office Expected a
Different Result.

London. August %, G:55 .. m)-The
announcement that the Portsmouth
conference had concluded peace was
received in London just in time for
brief bulletins to be printed in the af-
ternoon papers. The Associated Press
conveyed the first information to the
foreign office, where Sir Eric Barring
ton, representing Foreign Secretary
LansdOwne, expressed profound aston
ishment, and said this was the first in
timatiOn the government had received.
Sir Eric's first expression after he
had been handed the report of the AS
sociated Press was:
1T is simply extraordinary
The foreign office, according to Sir
Eric, had no idea that Japan intended
to recede on all points.
The Associated Press understands
however, that ii was we'll known in
Official circles here that Japan was so
anxious to make a good impression on
the world that she was ready to make
extraordinary concessions.
Sir Eric harrington also informed the
Associated Press that the Anglo-Jap-
anese treaty was released by the an
nouncement Of the decision of the
Portsmouth conference, hut that the
terms would not be given out till the
government had been officially notified
of the result of the peace conference.
The Associated Press also conveyed
the first information to Lord Lans-
downe, who was at his country seat in
Ireland, and to the other cabinet min
listers, who are absent in different parts
of the United Kingdom and on the
continent.

RUSSIANS AMAZED.
Official Circles Were Hopeless of
Favorable Outcome.

St Petersburg. Aug. S0.-The AS
ISOLATED Press dispatches from Ports
mouth brought the first news of the
results Of the peace conference. It
came as an electric surprise, as Of
fetal and DIPLOMAT circles had been
practically without hope of sue
cessful issue of the negotiations. The
news became known to oniV a com
paratively few persons up TO midnight
outside OF diplomatic circles, among
a few officials and in the newspaper
offices and consequently there was no
expression OF public feeling At this
hour there is absolutely nothing to in
dictate even to a close observer that
the eighteen months of war is at an
end.
Wherever the news was known sur
prise and even Amusement was ex-
pressed that the japanese had so
completely met the Russian demands
but the reception of the news. SO far
as II had gone up to the time this dis
patch was filed, was calm and even
apathetlc.
The foreign office was dark all night
thus giving no evidence that the news
had been officially received there.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1905-08-30

and the steadfast spirit of the Rus
sian government. Astonishment at the
result was felt by the foreign Office,
as it was everywhere else where the
Associated Press made inquiries Ger
family il was the first exclamation of
one of Russia's principal bankers, who
was expecting different outcome.
That Russia would not have to pay
any indemnity was at first scarcely
-believa BILE. The Berlin stock exchange
had been preparing for news of rup-
ture of the negotiations and for con-
sequent disorder in the market.
Successful Diplomacy.
There was animation at the Russian
embassy until late tonight. The am
bassador Count Osten-Sacken. had
gone out of town with the countess,
who for a long time has been seri-
ously ILL., but the staff of the embassy
received callers and their congratula
tiOns on what, from a diplomatic point
of view, seemed a remarkable Russian
success; yet Japan was regarded as
having won all she sought for. even
ir ima gination. before the war began;
as having gained opportunities for the
tranquil development of the extensive
territory on the mainland and as hav
ing won position I'm respect to the
western great powers that win make
them extremely civil TO her hereaf-
tor.
In the downtown part of Berlin eX
ira editions of the evening newspapers
were issued frequently and they were
eagerly bought up. The opinion of
those whose lives are far away from
diplomacy and international politics is
that Japan has shown a forbearance
that no European power would have
shown. a street car conductor first
said that to the correspondent. and
afterward, when the correspondent
listened to the common talk, the same
idea was often repeated.

HER RIGHT ESTABLISHED,
Japan Entitled to a Place in the
Councils of Nations.


New York. Aug. 29.-That Japan has
achieved all she fought for. and that
the question of indemnity was of mi
nor importance compared TO the es-
adjustment of her position among the
nations and other advantages gained,
was the opinion of Baron Kaneko the
Japanese emperor's financial agent in
this country, expressed tonight after
he had received dispatches from Ports
mouth confirming the published reports
of peace.
Naturally said Baron Kaneko. ''I
am quite pleased. Japan has achieved
much. True, we received no inden-
nifty, but, compared with what we have
gained, the money matter becomes of
secondary importance. The peace of
the world is dear to Japan. She has
achieved so much that was not sur
question of money when it stood be-
tween peace and war.
Fought for Existence.
I'VE fought for the national exist
ence of Japan. We have secured II.
Our position in Sakhalin, lost years
ago through diplomacy, has been re-
established again at SO degrees north
latitude, its former boundary. We are
again possessed of fisheries through to
Boring sea. We have Port Arthur
again, rightfully ours. We have the
railways In many ways we have
gained much. We have shown the
world that the pagan treatment OF pris-
Oners is as humane as that OF Chris
tan nations. We have shown that ia
pan is entitled to be regarded as one
of the powers-to a seat at the table
IN the councils of nations. All this is
of greater Importance to US than in
demnity. Money could not buy US any
of these. Why, therefore should we
permit money to stand in the way?
We have not, nor did / think our en-
voys would. There may be some dis
appointment at home, but l am sure
that, with the Spartan forbearance that
has always characterized our people,
we will look at it Alright"
Japan's Finances.
Speaking of Japan's finances. the
baron said Japan was well able to
meet the expenses incident to the clos
ing up of the war and the withdrawal
OF her troops from the far east. She
had $50 100000 in Germany, a like sum
both in England. and in the United
States, as yet untouched. Her war
taxes would take care of the national
war loans There might be, he admit
ted, some disappointment in Japan be-
cause no indemnity was paid, but he
thought the Japanese people regarded
their victory as q. grand one and would
give the money question but little
Thought.
"Then. too" continued the baron,
1.-The history of nations shows that a
period OF prosperity follows a war.
1t was so with Japan after the Chi
nese war. 1t was so with Germany
and France, and it was so here fol-
lowing the Spanish war. In fact. aft
er the Chinese war our business
trebled."
Clash Impossible.
AS to any clash between the Jap
anese and the United States for COM
mercial supremacy in the far east,
Baron Kaneko declared such a thing
impossible. Aside from the friendship
or the two nations he said, the trade
relations were naturally reciprocal
Each possessed what the other had
