Mokilization of Troops Causes General Strike at Libau, Russia. Libau, Russia, Aug. 31.—A general strike has been brought about here by troops. No factories are running, port load- ing has been discontinued and the street railroads haye stopped operat- ing. Steam railroad communication has been interrupted and there are no newspapers issued. The arrival of reservists from the neighboring country districts has add- ed to the confusion, as well as to the possibilities of disorder.

EVENT OF THE CENTURY. France Generous in Praise of Roose- velt’s Success. Paris, Aug. 31.—Universal rejoicing has taken the place of the first feel- ing of surprise and almost incredulity that the Russians and Japanese had answered affirmatively President Roosevelt’s fervent appeal in behalf of the civilized world for a cessation of the useless and disastrous war. The first announcement of the news in diplomatic circles evoked st expressions, mingled with hesitation to believe the tr: confirmation arrived and the came more widely known unmeasured praise was accorded to the initiators of the peace movement, the success of which was recognized as the event. of the century. The president was re- garded as \a grand victor emerging covered -with glory from an almost hopeless single-handed struggle in the cause of peace in which his iron will had carried off the victory. BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS. Russian Securities Advance on St. Pe- tersburg Bourse. St. Petershurg, Aug. 31.—Peace sent prices onsthe bourse upward by leaps and bounds, government securities getting the chief advance and bank shares and industrials sharing in the boom. Imperial fours opened at 86 and steadily advanced under heavy transactions throughout the day to 8815, with sellers asking 89%. close the banks were the heaviest sellers. The public were eager to buy lottery fives. The first issue ad- vanced from 4111, to 427, the second issue from 310 to 33114 and the’ third issue from 26414 to 285. The interna- tional loan advanced from 96% to 97. Bank shares registered increases of 2 to 2-per cent and industrials from 1 to 3 per cent. There was great enthu- siasm on the floor of the exchange.

Petersburg, Aug. 31.—The peace ' news was ®eceived here without any manifestations of joy. The city shows i absolutely no evidence of the receipt of the tidings. It can safely be said, however, that the general feeling among the more intelligent classes is that justice has been done at Ports- mouth. Expressions of relief are heard that there will be no further bloodshed, but the “inglorious peace” is a disappointment to many. The suddenness with which the Japanese finally accepted the Russian ultima- tum makes many people believe that the cession of the island of Sakhalin would have been premature, while a large element of the people seem of the opinion that another trial at arms with its chances -of victory would, have been preferable to the present peace. The reception of the news here shows plainly that the war has been foreign to the masses, who in no sense have been in sympathy with its objects. The more intelligent classes of the population have never shown any capacity for appreciating the plans or ideas of the government and seem to have lost sight of the vital interests of the state because of the revelations of official corruption dis- covered in connection with the Yalu enterprises and as a result of the un- preparedness and incapacity of the army and navy to cope with the prob- lem and also because they have been fully occupied at home with the strug- gle to obtain a representative govern- ment. London, Aug. 31—The correspond- ent of the Daily Telegraph at Leghorn sends a report received from Naga- saki of the overtaking of 100 fishing boats by a hurricane off Goto island, belonging to the Japanese archipel- ago, in the channel of Korea. The report says that 400 men are missing and it 1s feared they have Sl
