SHANGHAI, May 2nd 3.10 p.m.
Intelligence just received from Peking is to the effect that the Chinese Govern ment is now disinclined to ratify the Treaty of Peace, and has formally urged the Japanese Government to prolong the armistice.
THE first noteworthy incident after the signing by the Plenipotentiaries of the Treaty of Peace between China and Japan, was, if we may believe the reports in the Japanese papers, the significant fact! that while England, France, Germany and other Powers offered their congratulations to Japan, Russia was silent; no message came from her or from her representa ITALY AND AUSTRIA "CHIP IN." tives. This silence on the part of Russia was shortly followed by a formal protest by the latter against the acquisition by Japan of any portion of the mainland. of Asia, a protest in which France and Germany joined. We indicated in our leader of the ayth ult, the very decided opinion that Russia would, ngy must. for the sake of her future in Asia, persevere with this protest and proceed, if it were disregarded, to enforce it, but that France and Germany had no real Interest in the
