WITTE SAYS JAPS HiGGLED.
Quoted a. Accusing Them Of Delaying
Work on the Treaty.
Spsctol Cabls Dsspatch to TIE SUN.

Special Cable Dsspateh to THE SUN
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. S.-The Slopo
quotes Mr.. Witte az saying that he could
write the text Of the whole treaty In one
night, but the Japanese have haggled over
every word. For his part he attaches
little importance to the text.
The Standard's Odessa correspondent says
that the intelligent section Of the public, in
Guiding military circles, Is still mystified
by the terms Of peace, and IL even doubtful
whether they will be ratified. At the same
time there ia q very general belief that
Japan would never have made such aston
ishingly liberal concessions unless she had
been 80 advised by her British ally.
This raises suspicious OF the ulterior
motives Of the Anglo-Japanese friendship
The provincial press does not disguise Its
jubilation over what 1t regards as the mill
tary and financial exhaustion OF Japan
which the papers aver had no alternative
but to abandon her policy and her attitude
Of blufT.
The st. Petersburg correspondent OF the
Standard says that the Czar's telegram
to Gen. Linievitch is interpreted there AZ
confirmation of the statement that his
Majesty received the news Of the conclusion
OF peace with heavy heart.
1t Is reported that Gen. Linievitch will
be appointed viceroy, and at the same
time retain his post as COMMUNICATIVE chief,
and that portion Of his troops will remain
in the Far East. Such a decision would
be regarded as ominous for the permanence
OF peace. The viceroyalty would he un-
meaning II Russia seriously renounced
her ambition Of dominating the Pacific.

Special Cable Despatch to THE SUN.
HoNoKoNo, Sept. 3.-The American
transport Logan arrived here yesterday
from Manila, having on board Secretary
Of War Taft and his party. The visitors
were heartily welcomed. Many entertain
ments have been arranged in their honor.
Mr.. Taft and Miss Alice Roosevelt are the
guests OF Sir Matthew Nathan, the Governor
Of Hongkong.
1t had been arranged that Miss Roose-
welt should visit Canton on the American
gunboat Callao, while the other members
of the party were to have proceeded to
that city by rail. The visit was abandoned,
however, owing to the fact that the Viceroy
is sick and therefore not able to receive
them, and for the further reason that Canton
ia placarded with anti-American notices,
owing to the boycott.
The roting at Annoy growing out OF the
boycott has greatly lessened.

The Great Welsh Revival Movement.

The vast congregation was as soberly
sane, as orderly, and at least as reVerent
as any congregation I ever saw beneath
the dome OF ST. Paul's. But II was afiame
with a passionate religious enthusiasm,
the like of which have never seen in st.
Pauls. Tier above tier from the crowded
aisles to the loftiest gallery sat or stood,
as necessity dictated, eager hundreds OF
serious men and thoughtful women, their
eyes riveted upon the platform or what
ever other part of the building was the
storm centre of the meeting.
There was absolutely nothing wild,
violent. hysterical unless It be hysterical
for the laboring breast to heave with
sobbing that cannot be repressed, and the
throat to choke with emotion as a sense
of the awful horror and shame OF a wasted
life suddenly bursts upon the soul. On all
sides there was the solemn gladness OF
men and women upon whose eyes had
dawned the splendor of a new day, the
foretaste of whose glories they are en-
joying in the quickened sense OF human
fellowship and keen glad zest added to
their own lives.
Employers tell me that the quality of

full still and almost incredible to those
who know how journalism lives and thrives
