RUSSIA AND JAPAN.
A FISHERIES DISPUTE. By Telegraph.—Press Association.—Copyright. (Received September 10, 9.22 p.m.) St. Petersburg, September 10. Negotiations are taking place between Russia and Japan respecting the fisheries on the coast of Southern Saghaiien. Matters there are not proceeding smoothly, owing to the Japanese failing to respect the rights of the Russian concessionaires protected under the treaty of peace signed at Portsmouth, United States, at the close of the war. Under the treaty of peace Russia ceded to Japan Southern Saghaiien and all the adjacent islands. Japan on the other hand agreed that Russians in the ceded territory who desired to remain, and who were prepared to submit to Japanese laws and jurisdiction, should be protected in the full exercise of their industries and rights of property. Japan also -was given fishing rights in Russian waters, on the condition that the rights of Russian and foreign subjects should not be affected.
