No Processions or Other Marks of Jollifi-
cation in Japan.
By Associated Press.
Tokio, Aug. 31.—The public continues to
be without information regarding the ar-
rangement of the peace envoys. The terms
of peace are not known here, especially
the conditions concerning the island of
Sakhalin and the amount of reimburse-
ment.
Despite lack of information many people
are already criticizing and objecting. Un-
less the terms prove to be better than
anticipated, it is certain the compact will
prove unpopular and will be bitterly as-
sailed by the press and by the diet, which
is expected to meet in special session
shortly. The radical elements are as-
serting that cabinet changes are inevit-
able.
The mass of the public is not moved.
There unquestionably is a feeling of re-
lief that hostilities have ended and that
the men of the great army will return
home to be disl>anded and re-enter the
walks of peace.
There hav^ been no processions, displays
of flags or other marks of popular jollifica-
tion. The capital city continues normally
quiet. Reports from throughout the em-
pire Indicate similar conditions.

from the greatest darkness into the most
intense daylight of political and civil
liberty, and that they have shown them-
selves entirely equal to the responsibili-
. ties which have been placed upon them
as citizens of this great republic.
“Nor has it ever been different in
modern history and experience. Napoleon
in 1808, Germany at a somewhat later
period, and England even in Cromwell's
time granted, without injury to the state,
full civil rights to the Jews, living then
under conditions much darker than those
under which they now live in Russia.
“While it may be true that , a state of
enmity against the Jews exists among
part of the Russian people, for which the
Russian government is to some extent re-
sponsible, still, in our opinion, placing
the Jew at once on a footing of civic
equality with the rest of the population
would cause no more friction than each
each one of*the steps leading to the same
end. This very objection urged by you
seems to us a good reason why this shouj/j
be settled .once and for all, instead of
allowing it to drag on painfully, creating
new disturbances on every stage.
“The claim that among the ranks of
those who in Russia are seeking to un-
dermine governmental authority there
are a considerable number of Jews may
perhaps be true. In fact, it would be
rather surprising if some of those so ter-
ribly afflicted by persecution and excep-
tional Taws should not at last have turned
against their merciless oppressors. Lut
it is safe to assert that, as a whole, the
Jewish population of Russia is law abid-
ing, and there is little doubt that once
given civil rights, with all the apportuni-
ties which this will carry with it, the
Jew in Russia will become as valuable
a member of the commonwealth and
prove to be as ardent a lover of. his coun-
try as have been the Jews of every coun-
try which has accorded them the rights
of citizens. The fact will not be disputed
that in the United States the Jew has be-
come an ardent American, in England a
loyal Englishman, in France a patriotic
Frenchman and in Germany a thorough
German.
“The people of the United States, as
must be known to you, are close ob-
servers of all that is taking place in
Russia during this momentous period of
her existence. Their sympathies are for
the time being alienated from Russia be—-
cause, justice loving, they have recoiled
from the horrors of Kishineff and from
_thejterriblfi_condiycns-whivh;- though long
existing, have only now been fully dis-
closed.
“Jewish influence in the United States,
especially political, already carries great
weight and is steadily increasing, being
constantly recruited from the large im-
migration of Russian Jews.
“Can it be expected that the influence
of the American Jew upon public opinion
will be exerted to the advantage of the
country 'which systematically degrades
his brethren-in-race, making their lives
almost unendurable.
“No matter how many Jews may emi-
grate there will always remain a mini-
mum of six or seven million Jews in
Russia, and thus it appears quite evident
that the Russp-Jewish question must be
settled in Russia—settled promptly and
thoroughly in the enlightened spirit
which your impartial master has shown
in so many other instances. This vexa-
tious question wil Iremove at once and
forever a factor so damaging to Russia,
at home and abroad. We. therefore,
earnestly hope that the exchange of views
.which has taken place b etween us may
lead to that solution which we are con-
vinced you and' the other best minds of
your country actually desire.’’

New Chwang Chinese Refused to Join the
Movement.
By Associated Press.
Washington, D. C., Aug. 31,-Consul Gen-
eral Simmons, at New Chwang, reported to
the state department as follows in regard
to the progress of the anti-American boy-
cott in China:
“In regard to the attempt mad© to
arouse here a feeling of hostility to Amer-
ican goods, I have the honor and pleasure
to report that the movement has been a
failure.
“Several attempts have been made to
organize the anti-American sentiment, but
each meeting has resulted in a stronger
declaration in opposition to interfering
with the sale of American goods.
“A number of leading Chines© merchants
assured me that they would have nothing
to do with the movement to boycott Amer-
ican goods, and they advised their friends
to refrain from agitating the subject."
Old Method of Scheduling Them Accord-
ing to Size Had to Be Abandoned,
Washington, D. C., Aug. 31.—The Amer-
ican navy has become so great numeri-
cally that the listing of American ships
according to their size has had to be
abandoned,, the officers of the navy being
compelled to adopt the method of the
British in listing, them.

FEELS RAW AT ROOSEVELT.
Ey Associated Press.
St. Petersburg, Aug. 31.—The general
ton© of the press this morning is one of
resignation. The Novoe Vremya is
noteworthy exception. Its editor,
Soverln, refuses to believe in the solidity
of peace and contends that it is simply
a stage toward a new struggle between
between Russia and Japan. The Novoe
Vremya’s article displays further irrita-
tion toward President Roosevelt.
By Asscc ated Press.
New York, N. Y., Aug. 31.—What is ac'
credited to be the full text of a letter
concerning Rtissia’s treatment of the
Jews, submitted to Sergius Witte, the
Russian peace envoy, by a committee of
Hebrew bankers and merchants, is pub
fished today by the American. The com-
munication is signed by Jacob H. Schiff,
Jacob Seligman, Adolph Lewlshohn and
others. It covers thoroughly the argu
ments and contentions of the committee
made before M. Witte by the delegation
recently for the amelioration of the con-
ditions under which people of the Hebrew
race now live in the land of Emperof
Nicholas. Civil and political liberty for
tne Jews, on an equality with all other
Russian subjects, is the keynote of the
communication.
“Mindful of our privileges in meeting
you during your recent stay at Ports-
mouth,” the letter says, “we deem it well
before you leave the United States and
return to your own country to submit in
writing, if only for a thorough under-
standing or for further reference, some
of the statements to which we gave ex-
pression when we had the privilege of
visiting you and of listening to your valu-
able views.
“We believe that the claim^of^th^Rus-^
sian government that the question of the
condition of the Hebrews in Russia is a
purely domestic one, with which the peo-
ple and governments of other countries
have no concern, can no longer be main-
tained. When a government, either
through the application of exceptional
laws, or by other means, forces great
masses of its subjects to seek to improve
their condition through emigration to
other countries, the people of these coun-
tries which give an asylum to such refu-
gees from persecution and oppression
may, with entire propriety, criticise the
conditions which have caused such an
influx into their country, and may prop-
erly insist J»hat their condition shall be
improved in such manner and to such ex-
tent that the causes of the forced emigra-
tion shall cease to exist, and this without
justifying ,the charge that they are
meddling with affairs that should not
concern them.
“This we believe to be the attitude of
the American people in general. We, as
Jews, have added interest in the condic
tion of the Jews in Russia which ties of
race and faith always and properly call
forth, and we deem it, therefore, nothing
less than our plain duty to do all in our
power to procure an amelioration in their
status.
“As we stated to you at our conference,
it is our very decided conviction that
nothing but the granting of full civil
rights to the British subjects of the czar
wil lentirely remove the conditions which
have been the cause of-so much disturb-
ance in Russia and adverse criticism
abroad, You have answered us that the
Russian Jew in general is not sufficiently
prepared for the exercise of full civil
rights, and that the feeling of the Rus-
sian people is such that the Jew can not
be placed on an equal footing with them
without causing serious internal disor-
ders, and you suggested that it might be
advisable and practicable gradually to
remove existing disabilities and thus to
prepare the way for an eventual total
granting of civic equality.
“As to this, we aver that the million ar-
mor© Russian Jews who nave come to the
United States have become good citizens,
notwithstanding tUei.r sudden emergency

This Transportation Line ’Will Prove of
Financial Value to Japan.
By Associated Press.
Portsmouth, N. H„ Aug. 31.—The As-
sociated Press is able to g3ve out one ad-
ditional and interesting, as well as im-
portant, detail in regard to the conditions
of peace. Most important of all is the
fact that formal recognition of Japan’s
possession of the Chinese Eastern rail-
road, below Keunchengtse, the junction
of the branch of Kirin, which involves
payment by Russia to China of a sum
estimated at $75,000,COO. This is the Chi-
nese interest in the road and for it China
must be remunerated.
The question of the ultimate possession
of the railroad is a matter to be settled
between Japan and China. Japan can
keep the road or surrender it to China,
demanding in return the money paid by
Russia to China. If she chooses the lat-
ter course Japan will therefore obta’n,
as indirect “spoils of war” from Russia,
the above mentioned sum in addition to
the reimbursement of the maintaining of
Russian prisoners of war, for which Ja-
pan will present an itemized bill. Japan
is known to have given- her word to
China not to retain the railroad, which
really built for strategic purposes.
But if China prefers the money to the
railroad Japan could not be
bad faith.
Inasmuch as Japan was desirous even
before the war of extending the then pro-
jected Korean railroad, which is already
in operation, so as to eventually con-
nect with the Eastern Chinese railroad
and the Shang Kai Wan road, and in the
negotiations which preceded hostilities
asked Russia to bind herself to not im-
pede this aim, it is considered likely that
Japan would prefer the road to the
money. In addition to turning over money
obtained from Russia, China, if she took
the railroad, would therefore have to re-
imburse Japan for the expense incurred
by her in restoring the road, rebuilding
the bridges and changing the guage.
Whether it remains in the hands of Japan
or ultimately becomes a part of the sys-
tem of Chinese imperial railroads, a traf-
fic arrangement must be made with the
part still in the possession of the o’.d
Chinese Eastern company, the stock of
which is held by the Russian Chinese
bank This adjustment will be arranged
later.
Both Russia and Japan, if the latter re-
tains the road, are to be allowed to have
