ietato of affairsbad an excellent of-
ifeet,
, From a statement made by Premier
lintsura at an important political gath-
'tiring it was learned that japan, in the
treaty of peace, has agreed to the free-
dom of Lit Perouse Strait, but lute not
bound herself not to fortify it. This and
the assurance that japan is to enjoy an
entirely free hand in Corea, are expected
to assist in calming the popular excite -
intent.
Entsura spoke at a, meeting that was
'attended by members of both Houses
of the Diet belonging to the different
politieel parties'. In addition to what
was quoted above, he said that the
anilway south of Chengechun, not
iChangtu, was ceded to the Japanese,
.'who also obtain the Fushun and the
Yental
Tho text of the treaty of peace has
not yet been published, and wilt not be
until it is ratified. The details, how-
ever, are becoming generally known
through telegrams from London and
New York, The public dissatisfaction
with the peace conditions is, so far as
known, unabated, but the anti -peace
ecntiment is visibly decreasea in vim -
Idle°. It is generally believed that the
Covernment will resign when the Diet
neets. It is stated that over 1,050 per -
eons are in custody in connection with
the riots. It is Moseyed that formal
charges will be made against 100 of
them, and that the others will be re-
leased. The Government probablywill
be lenient with the accused. Chief
.Adaehi, of the hfaropolitan Pollee, has
irssigned. It is believed that Viscount
—7r Yoshikawa, Minister of the Interior,
has tendered his resignation.
Many thousands of soldiers, with
fixed bayonets, are scattered about the
city. Iliblya Park has been converted
into
it camping ground, aud is dotted
with tents, Even the band stand is
used aa it• temporary quarters. In
other parts of the city troops are bit -
Med on the residents. Sentinels and
police guards *are posted at the Govern-
ment offices, official residences, public
places and Legations. Passers-by are
closely watched. Some of Mon have
been examined and arrested. Infantry
•ansi cavalry patrols keep the streets.
Everywhere there is it friendly feeling
between the soldiegy and populace.
The suppression cf newspapers con-
tinues. To -day, white the Niroku was
allowed to resume publication, one of
the principal journals, the Asahi, it
well-conducted Auld influential paper,
atas suppressed. Altogether, five news-
papers have been suspended.
Various official explanations are
given of the motive -which led the Gov-
ernment to make peace. Yield Marshal
Yamagata, one of. the Elder Statesmen,
chief of -the General Staff, and a tre-
mendous power iu the land, stated that
le violent feeling against peace can-
not be helped. There must always be
divergence of opinion on political ques-
tions. He adds: "I tell you frankly
that the Cabinet was unanimous that
bad the war been continued the posi-
tion would not have been altered.
Japan would never have been able to
compel Russia to reccom her expenses.
her national resourcer would have be-
come exhausted, and the means which
are necessary for the future develop-
ment of Corea and Alanchuria. , The
statesmen had calculated upon the ac-
tual .financial position of the empire.
The factors which decided them Wore
the prosperity of Japan, the solemn -
promising attitude of Russia, and the
peaceful 'advice of the powers of the
world."
