ARMY AND OFFICIALS
CONSIDER JAPAN HAS
GAINED ENORMOUSLY
BY Associated Press.

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 30.--A Rus
sian officer of high standing who is
thoroughly conversant with the policy
of the government, when informed by
the Associated Press that peace had
been concluded at Portsmouth ex-
pressed his regret that Russia had ceded
to Japan even half of the island OF
Sakhalin.
Another official, whose position en-
titles his views to consideration said:
"The result attained at Portsmouth
kills Russia in the far east. Our long
years of effort and the expenditures of
vast sums are practically lost to us
from today. We give up Manchuria
and retain useless icebound port. II
is very hard blow, and will assuredly
effectually stop our growth in the far
east for years, maybe for generations
to come, and our prestige suffers be-
yond description.
I'm discussing the terms granted by
Russia it is useless to enumerate that
all we have ceded to Japan is much
more than those she made war for, and
that it gives her enormous returns and
advantages which will only be fully
recognized later. Take for example the
fisheries rights of the Siberian coast
north of Vladivostok. In some respects
this is the most serious and far-reach-
ing concessions made by M. Witte; by
some it is Considered the greatest mis-
take, menacing even our ultimate re-
tention of portions of Siberia.
1T means that the Japanese will
soon become absolute masters of this
coast and in a great measure of the
hinterland. We have no people there
and no means of protection against
Japanese encroachment. The japanese
will practically colonize the coast with
fishermen, establish stations and ports,
and become masters of the whole coast.
Their influence will spread and streng-
then with the lapse of years and it
will be impossible for us to counteract

Japan china's Benefactor

"As for Manchuria, the turning over
of this province to China will guar
antee Japan predominating position
in China, of which she will take full
advantage, drawing from it material
advantages many times more valuable
than Mancburia with all its wealth.
Japan stands toward China as her
greatest benefactor. Having restored
to her by force of arms this very
wealthy province she can now impose
upon China the signature of Il secret
treaty giving her unlimited valuable
concessions and many other political
and material advantages This act of
restoring Manchuria to China means
concessions and advantages to Japan
much more valuable in the long run
than her original demand for indem-
nifty.
"The war will be a good thing for
Russia" this Informant said in con-
clusion, "if it results in forcing her to
change the ways and methods of in
ternal and other administration, and 1
think it WILL"

PRESIDENT REMINDS
WORLD THAT PEACE
Is YET UNC0NCLUDED
BY Associated Press.

OYSTER BAY, Aug. 30.-"Whistle
softly. We are getting into the thin
timber but we are not yet out of the
woods" R
This admonition represents accurat tely
President Roosevelt's view of the situa-
tion at Portsmouth. Peace is in sight
but is not yet an accomplished fact.
Profoundly as he is gratified at the re-
suits already achieved by the plenipc-
tentiaries the president realizes fully
that the most important work remains
yet to be done. Until more is accom-
plished it is scarcely the part of wis
dom, he thinks, to do more than
whistle softly"
1t is probable that President Roose-
welt may make formal expression con-
cerning the work accomplished at Ports
mouth by the Russian and Japanese
ENJOYS, but the intimation today was
that he would not make such a state
ment in any event until he should have
been assured of the success of the con-
ference.
The president has no definite idea
how long the plenipotentiaries may be
engaged in the negotiations of the
treaty of peace. He believes that it
ought not to take a great length of
time, because, the points of difference
having been resolved, the Incorporation
of the tentative agreement reached be-
comes practically only question of
phraseology. The Importance of the
text of the various sections of the
treaty is not minimized by the presi-
dent, and he appreciates thoroughly
that obstacles may arise at any mo-
ment that might seriously delay nego-
tiations or possibly wreck them en-
tirely. The woods will not be cleared
entirely until the treaty is signed and
sealed.
May Sign at Sycamore Hill
The place to be selected for the ap-
pending of signatures to the treaty
raises a question of interest. It was
assumed before the meeting of the con-
ference of the treaty. wherever it might
be negotiated, would be signed in
Washington and be known hereafter
as the treaty of Washington" just as
the conference itself, although held at
Portsmouth, is known as the Washing
ton conference. 1t is proposed that the
signing of the treaty take place at
Sagamore Hill as a compliment to Pres
ident Roosevelt for his part in initiat-
ing the conference and bringing it to a
successful issue. The treaty then would
be known as the treaty Of Sycamore
HILL"

Gives Roosevelt Much Credit

The Evening Standard says: Per
haps Japan is the only nation on the
face of the earth which would have
rested content with what she set out to
accomplish. We come to what may be
regarded as the greatest victory of the
dent Roosevelt. He may, for instance
have held out to Japan inducements
which would have the double effect of
securing peace with Russia and root
ing up the weeds of disagreement be-
tween Japan and America

A Lesson in Moderation

Speaking of Japan's waiver of the
indemnity clause. the Globe says: ut
has been an act of extraordinary cour-
age on the part of the emperor and his
council. In the act, which seems JUS
titled by the results, the emperor of
Japan has given the world lesson in
moderation, and. as we believe, the re-
suit will show, iii practical wisdom"
The Globe also claims that Japan
gained what she went to war for, and
says: ITO the ancient chivalrous
feeling of the old Saumurai there must
have appeared something sordid in con-
tinuing the conflict not for glory or for
the safety of the empire, but for cash
payment which had assumed the form
of a liquidation for damages"
Los Angeles herald., 1905-08-31

the new Anglo~Japanese treaty must
have affected the result in some way.
Supreme in the Far East
The Pail Mall Gazette says The
enlarged treaty with England may
have had considerable weight in per-
suading the Mikado and his advisers
that Japans position in the far east
is now practically impregnable, and
that peace may be made without press
ing for the payment Of costs.
Japan now stands in position of
impregnable supremacy in the far east
and this can only be disputed by a
coalition against which her alliance
with the greatest naval power in the
world constitutes an absolute guar
antee. Henceforth Asia lies at her
feet and, particularly, China. China
has been bone of contention all
along. England and the United States
will have every reason to be thankful
for the triumph of Japan"
VIII Develop New Resources
Referring to Japans decision to give
up her demand for an indemnity, the
Westminster Gazette says: 1T needed
only moments reflection to see how
greatly her moral and material position
must have been impaired If, after hav-
ing obtained all the substantial points
for which she undertook the war, she
had taken the responsibility of renew
ing the war OH the question of costs
which could not in the long run have
been recovered against an opponent
which was determined not to pay The
policy of Japan is to concentrate herself
upon the formidable task Of developing
what her victory has given her, and
even a successful war which would
have left her in possession of further
territory must have dissipated her en-
ergies and weakened her position. The
Anglo-Japanese alliance is to be re-
newed and extended to a wider scope
than it has yet had"

Dictated that the vessels were not in the
best OF condition and were not prepared
for hard battle. A part of the Russian
feet is also made up of small craft,
such as torpedo boats and destroyers.
The best vessels in the japanese navy
are now under Admiral Togo. In re-
ports from Singapore, dated March 10Th.
1t was stated that hi5 feet numbered %
vessels, all good-sized warships. While
the numerical advantage may be with
Rodjestvensky, there is little doubt that
the greater part Of the japanese vessels
are better prepared for tight, and 10
much better condition.
Admiral Togo will have the advantage
that his vessels can be arranged in order
of battle near any of the passages if
sufficient warning is given OF which one
the Russian vessels are using. 1t is be-
lieved that his scouts can furnish this
information.
Coming out of the straits of Malacca
Rodjestyensky may pass either through
the strait of Singapore or he may go
farther south, rounding the Lingan
archipelago.
By the latter route more sea room will
be secured.
If Togo's feet is on the watch, it
might be difficult for the Russian CON-
mander to arrange an effective line OF
battle before engaging the enemy.
