Ianan q treaty. in which Japan conceded Rus
sian ownership Of most Of the island. That
treaty did not. however, indicate the boundary
between the Russian and Japanese parts On
the contrary 1t said explicitly there should De
no such delimitation, but things should re-
main as they had been" The phrase "as they
had been" meant, of course, as they had been
for only the preceding three or four years. with
a dozen Russian soldiers pretending to colonize
and to occupy nearly the whole island. Five
wears later Russia proposed that Japan should
formally relinQuisb the whole island TO her,
taking in return four small and almost worth
less islands. Japan declined, but In 1910 was
prevailed upon to do so, the consideration being
Russia's "cession" to her of the Kurile Islands,
which already of right belonged to Japan! Ihe
Japanese have always considered that in these
transactions they were much misused, and they
have cherished resolution to undo the wrong
at their earliest opportunity, which opportunity
they think, has now arrived. Besides undong
that wrong their retention Of Saghalien seems
to them necessary as safeguard against fur
ther Russian aggressions and perhaps rs means
of securing the naturalization of the Amoor, as
the Danube is now neutralized.
The failure of the ENJOYS to agree upon this
point would, perhaps, prove fatal to the peace
negotiations, unless. having settled all otner
questions, they should agree TO submit THIS 10
arbitration Meantime, if the Russians do persist
in demanding the retrocesSon of the island TO
them. the japanese will remain masters of the
situation. They have possession of the island
and the Russians cannot possibly take 1t from
them. nor even menace them, until they are able
to send a feet around in Rojestvensky's track
that shall do what Rojestvensky so sgnally
failed to do. If Japan insists upon retaining
Saghalien she will be able to do so for years
to come quite regardless Of anything that may
happen in Manchuria. We are not, however
prepared to believe that having agreed on all
other matters, the ENJOYS would let this one
point, important though it is. wreck the whole
scheme of peacemaking
New-York tribune., 1905-08-18
SAGHALTEN

II is easy TO understand why the disposal of
Saghalien should be- as it is said TO be- chief
point Of the controversy at Portsmouth. Each
side has particularly strong reasons for main
tanning the position it has taken. and the posi-
tions are quite irreconcilable Japan wants to
retain possession Of the island of which she
was despoiled half a century ago, but which
she has recently regained by conquest, while
Russia wants it returned TO her. AS the island
commands the mouth Of the Amoor River and
the coast OF the Maritime Provinces for hun
dreds of miles, and also commands the water
route between the AmOer region and KAN
chatka and the northern entrances to the Sea
OF Japan. Russia's interest in it is obvious
She regards possession of it as absolutely essen
ual TO the welfare OF Eastern Siberia. With it
retained by Japan, Nladvostok would be on the
shore Of a japanese lake, and the mouth of the
Amoor would be guarded by a japanese for
tress, while the great Siberian railroad, an en-
terprise especially favored and cherished By
Mr.. Witte, would have its Pacific terminus prac-
Ideally under Japanese domination. II is not
strange that the Russian ENJOYS regard such an
outlook with repugnance.
The japanese, on the other hand have a keen
recollection Of recent history. Down TO 1852
they had undisputed possession of saghalien
In 1S47 MuraVief seized Eastern Siberia and
IN 1852 Nevelskoy invaded Saghalien and seized
@ large part Of IT, In 1853 he established a
colony" Of six men at Ilinsk, and in 1854 an
other Of four men at Muravievsk, and the an
nexation OF the island 10 Russia was formally
proclaimed. This was done. of course, in def
ance and contravention OF the rights Of Japan
and without Japan's acquiescence. Russia re-
garded the japanese as mere savages, whose
lands could be seized with impunity, just as
Pizarro seized Peru and just as we have seized
the lands Of the Red Indians. Russia needed
Saghalien for strategic purposes, TO safeguard
her conquests on the Amoor, and so she took II.
That was ell. 1t is true, Count Nesselrode pro-
tested against ii, and predicted 1T would cause
trouble; but he was overruled by Muravief.

In an editorial In The Tribune few days
