[BT ELBOTBIO TELEGBAPK. — COPYRIGHT.] NOT DRASTIC ENOUGH + JAPANESE VIEW OF THE PEACE COMDBTICNS. THE POSITION IN MANCHURIA. DISAPPOINTMENT AT TOKIO. AN "INSULT TO THE NATION." [press association/] ,Received September 8, 7.38 a.m.) WASHSnGTQLV, 7th September. . Baron Komura, one of the Japanese plenipotentiaries at! the Peace Conference, telegraphed to President Rooaevelt as follows:— "Humanity owes you lasting gratitude for initiating and successfully concluding the Conference." In. the course of an interview, Count Okunia declared* that the conditions of peace were not drastic enough to prevent Russian ambitkms in: Korea and Manchuria. China would be unable, he said, to maintain order in Manchuria, which wxrold afford Russia an opportunity to bow the seeds of war. Count Okuma added, "Instead of removing the causes of future disputes, the settlement has left the conditions exactly as they were before hostilities commenced." JAPANESE RADICALS HOSTILE. THE FINANCIAL BAROMETER. (Received September 8, 7.38 a.m.) TOKIO, 7th September. The bulk of the Japanese are apathetic towards peace, but the hostility of the Radicals is increasing. • The upper and middle classes, commercial men and financiers, are strangely silent, and are evidently disappointed at the results of the Conference. The markets reflect their objection, prices taxing sharply declined. Only one Tokio^ newspaper supports the treaty. Other journals declare that "the insult to the nation is the bitterest dose it has ever been asked to swallow."
