Tho Jap ineso proposal to restrict Russia in bar fnturo nnvnl armament in tho Pacific, which Is up for discussion today, is a question Russia considers especially humiliating. Nows from tho confer ence indicates thnt tho argumont far exceeded in rnrncstnrss and plain talk leg that of any provlous session. Wltto was particularly vigorous in his de nunciation of tho Jnpnncso nttitudo on this point. Ho emphasized his words by gestures, frequently bringing his fist down on tho table, and nt times would rlso from his chair and walk up tnd down tho room, so as to givo him moro freedom of expression, and to on abel him, In n measure, to suppress tho lntenso feeling under which ho was In- lorlng. It is understood ho charac terized it as unreasonable, and partic ularly humiliating, In viow of tho re cent disastrous battlo on tho Sea of Japan, by which tho flower of tho Rus sian navy was sont to tho bottom. Witto's voico broko ns ho pointed out how it would roquiro years for Rus sia to build her navy up to a position an w hero near tho position it occupied leforo tho wnr. Ho acknowledged tho Importance of Russia- ns a naval power at tho present tlmo, and doclarod thnt her construction of warships for uso in tho raeillc could scarcely in a genera tion prove a monnco to Japan. "Rus sia Is defeated," ho declared, "but not unqubwed; slio is bowed down, but can rnntinun military operations for years f necessary. Sho Is not suing for peace, and if poaco is to coiuo out of these negotiations Jnpan must respect l'r nuvcrwirry, ns Russia respects Ja pan." Komura listened with stoical silence nnd Impnssivo countcuanco, and io responso denied that Japan had any desiro to humlliato Russia, or exact terms that tho world would consider unreasonable.

In former years, when tho emperor was yountr. nnd both the empress and tho ill-fated crown prince wero living, the doraonstrntlons of popular love or- ten assumed a rather boisterous char acter, especially in Vienna and othor largo oltles, with a predominant Teu tonic population. The death of tho crown prince, whieh shattered so many fond hopes put a damper upon the subsequent celebrations of tho empe ror's birthday, and this condition nnt urally boeame more acute after the death of Empress Elizabeth. The character of the celebrations beeame more subdued and dignified, but far more expressive of the universal reeling of love aud sympathy for the cruelly bereaved monarch. Aside from its purely official features the celebration today boro little resem blance to former celebrations, although popular sentiment for tho Kaiser was Drobablr stronger than ever. Special thanksirivinc services were held in thei morning in every church in the morvj nrchy. Here, in Vlcnnn, tho pont'ilcnl high mass at St. Stephen's attracted the largest crowds, nmong them mnny hundreds of foreigners. Tho services nt St. Augustine's were nttonded by several thousand porsons, nmong them mnny high ofllalnls nnd dignitaries Of the court. Thoro was nlso a spcclnl service nt tho clinpol In Hofburg.

Lntor in tho dny tho omporor received tho members of tho imperial household, tho ministers of tho cabinet, tho pre siding officers nnd dclegntions from tho Imperial pnrlinmont, tho rclchstng nnd tho Austrian and Hungarian diets. Ho nlso gnvo nudionco to numerous dele gations representing tho army, navy tho vnrious flscnl departments nnd dep utations of civic orgnnlzntlons from nil pnrts of tho monnrchy. Tho dny wns gonernlly observed ns 11 holiday.

Tho mllltnry pnmdo in tho nftornoon, which wns reviowed by tho emporor, nttrnct ed mnny thousands of sightseers, but tho popular colebrntlon In tho Prater was undoubtedly tho most populnr ovont of tho dny.
