E‘ Upon the announcement of peace a. iflag was hoisted at half-mast at the :‘Hochi newspaper office. At a meet- ;ing all the newspapers except the inwmin decided to display flags at :halfâ€"mast when the official announceâ€" fment is made. A majority of the newspapers here defer extended comment upon the conclusion of peace, preferring to await, the announcement of official details.

N. l ., Sayszâ€"The Associated Press is to iable to giVe one additional and in- Jcitercsting as well as important de- n- tail in regard to the conditions of 0. peace. {est important of all is the 'fact that the formal recognition of rc- Japan's possession of the Chinese t- Eastern Railway below Kuenchengtse the junction of the branch to Kirin, -'. involves a payment by linssia to :‘ China of a sum estimated at 575,5 000,000. This is the Chinese inter-3 iCSt in the road, and for it China} tlmUst be remunerated. The question‘ inf the ultimate possession of thoi . ‘road is a matter to be settled he- ;itWeen Japan and China. Japan can! 5 ,keep the road or surrender it tel ~. n China, demanding in return the money paid by Russia to China. 1! she elects the latter course Japan will therefore obtain as an indirect “spoil of war" from Russia the -. above-mentioned sum, in addition to , reimbursement for the cost of main- taining,r the Russian prisoners of war, ll'or which Japan will present an itemized bill. Japan is known to" _«have given her word to ‘hina not}: to retain the railroad, which wasli ireally built for strategic purposes. ' BHt if China prefers the money to :1 gthe railroad Japan could not be ac- 1h cused of bad faith. inasmuch as Ja-lx :pan was desirous e'x'en before the r iwar of extending the then projected“ lCorean Railroad, which is alreadyjs ’in operation. so as to eventuallyix connect with the Eastern Chinese and ft 'Chankaikwang roads. and in the tie-3,; gotiations which preceded hostilities} ioslged Russia to bind. herself not to;I :impose this aim, it. is consnleredm likely that she would herself prl-ferf‘ gthe railroad to the money. in addi-‘;1 s !ti0n to turning over the money ob-g {taint-(l from Russia.
