RUSSIANS HAVE
LITTLE TO SAY
News of Conclusion of Peace Received
With Uneoncern.
LIMIT HAD BEEN REACHED
WHY THE JAPANESE WAIVED
INDEMNITY.

CT. PETERSBURG, Aug. 81, (S:12 a.
y m.)-The news of the successful
completion of the preliminary ne
Sotiations for peace at Portsmouth has
been received here without marked or
even notable expressions of satisfac-
ton or dissatisfaction. Tranquility is
perhaps the best term with which to
convey the sentiment of practically all
classes, including the officials.
The prevailing sentiment among the
thinking element is that Japan arrived
at a recognition of the fact that il was
really impossible for Russia to make
any further concessions, because she
desired to avoid arousing among the
people at home sentiments which would
constitute a most serious menace in the
future. 1t is recognized here that Japan
also realized the necessity for a lasting
and stable peace, and il is believed
that the success of the conference was
due to the fact that both nations sin
cerely desired to effect an understand
ing.
Divergence of Opinion.
The hope is expressed here that the
spirit so necessary to be achieved at
Portsmouth viii obtain until the work
OF the plenipotentiaries has been fin
ally concluded. To this feeling can be
ascribed the fact that the more intel
come at Portsmouth as being alto
gether diplomatic victory or a sue
cess won at the expense of japan
There are undoubtedly certain diver
gencies of opinion among Russians in
one or another of the points set forth
an the preliminary peace understand
ings.
These Emergencies can be easily at
tributed to the existing industrial con
d1tlons in Russia, but it is no exaggera-
ton to say that all classes are deeply
and sincerely appreciatiVe of the eff
iorts made by President Roosevelt TO
orlng about peace. Furthermore the
general and sustained interest of the
American people in the entire matter
hnds due recognition and full apprecia-
ton mere President Roosevelt's eff
forts, 1t is declared, supplied the lub-
rlcant needed to overcome the friction
and to keep the machinery of the con-
ference running TO successful issue
Russians Not Effusive.
In considering the lack of effusiou
and all outward signs of satisfaction
with which the news was received at
81. petersburg, il should be borne in
mind that the Russians are an undem-
onStratlNe people and that the details
of the great disasters of the war were
received with the same apparent apa-
Thy. 1t IS not the custom of the people
mere TO indulge in demonstra tions
either upon occasions of great sorrow
or of great happiness and the lack of
popular and spontaneous expressions
OF satisfaction does not carry the same
meaning as II would in the United
States. Furthermore, news of great
events spreads slowly through the EN-
pire, and this initiates against popular.
expressions of satisfaction or dissatis-
faction.
