President Roosevelt's Triumph

Japs Against Fighting for Gold. Received August 31, 8.40 a.m. London, August 30. The Czar, in deference to President Roosevelt, offered to cede half of Saghalien, and this offer was founded on the best workable basis. A buoyant tone obtains in all departments of the London Stook Exchange. Russian fours rose four, and Japanese stocks one to two. It is believed in London that the Japanese were more seriously exhausted financially than was hitherto thought, which prejudiced the prospecfe of the new campaign ; also that the Council of Elders, by Samuri tradition, are against fighting for gold. Washington, August 30. Some of Baron Komura's entourage were overwhelmed with grief and excitement, and wept. The general expectation is that after peace each belligerent will float loans to clear the aftermath of the war. Sydney, This Day. The newspapers pay high tributes to the Japanese magnammity'and generosity in order to secure peace The Herald says Japan has learned the last lesson of civilisation generosity to the vanquished foe.
