Th newa of the aur- render of Port Arthur created a pro found Impreeaion here, and wa uni versal topic of conversation: the pre vailing French view being summed up by tha Tempe. which aaya tha historic defense of Bevaatapol la now surpassed. The French military critics regard th aurrendar of Port Arthur aa rend ering Karopatkln'a position Increasing ly dangerous, aa the besieging army of 10.000 men are now released. Rojeatvensky's squadron can pro ceed no further. Some Parte Journals assert the Japanese occupation of Port Arthur conatltutea a menace to all Europe which the chancellories should prepare to meet. EMPEROR PREPARED. Did Not Went Troop Utsly Sac rificed. St. Petemburg. Jan. 2. While there In no longer any doubt In official cir cles In St. Peteraburg that the fate of Port Arthur Is decided and that Stoe aael'a fallant defense la ended, the news of the surrender Is not yet allowed to reach the public. The government fol lowing dictate Its own Judgment In thla course, but the public, ao far. Is entirely unprepared for the new which must prove a serious blow when It cornea. Possibly aome of the hesita tion of the authorities here In making the announcement, la due to threats of a radical demonstration, coupled with the absence of the emperor; but It Is certain no demonstration la likely which could aaaurne serious propor tions. It Is learned that the Inst message sent by the emperor to Stoessel vested the commander of the Port Arthur garrison with discretionary powers and urged him to exercise them rather than allow the defense to go to the laat ditch. This may account for the ap penrant brief lime required to conclude the negotiations between the Russian and Japanese commanders. RUMOR OF PEACE. Diplomats Think Jspan Will Offer Olive Branch.

The capitulation of Port Arthur la the aenaatlon of Lon don today the one topic of discus sion. Everywhere the utmoat admlra tlon la expressed for the defenders and the attacking army, and the probabil Ity that Nogl made concessions to the gallant Stoessel is received with much satisfaction. In diplomatic circle the consensus of opinion waa that the surrender might tend In teh direction of peace, but none duret venture to say peace Is in sight. At the Russian embassy the same spirit of determination to prosecute the war to the bitter end Is expressed. In fact. It Is confidently stated the Rus sians only regard the surrender of Port Arthur In the light of a fresh In centive and will spare no efforts In Ita recapture. Baron Suyematsu. son-in-law of Marquis Ito, and formerly Japaneae minister of the interior, aaya: 'Now we again have Port Arthur we will not allow any other power to hold It agter we have beaten Ruaala. I do not expect the fall of Port Arthur to make much' difference with the pro gress of the war." In British naval circles the prevailing opinion la the recall of the Russian second Pacific squadron Is now an ab solute necessity. " " .'

New Tork. January L Brain spe cialists have begun a movement which they hope will brine about a condition of affairs more favorable to the study of the human body. It 1 for th for mation of a society, modelled on the plan of the Mutual Autopsy Society of Parla the members of which, after their death contribute their brains and other organs to science. A committee composed of three well- known brain experts and anatomist practicing here has been appointed for the purpose of preparing a general form of brain bequest, which will hold in law and not be rendered null by any action that may be taken by relative of the person making the bequest. One of the leaders In the movement explained that the study of the brain at present Is chiefly hampered by ob jections of the relatives of the de ceased. In the prevailing circumstan ces It Is difficult to obtain, he said, the permission of the family for the re moval preservation, and study of the organ, because the mere suggestion of an autopsy la looked upon with horror.
