Portsmouth, N. H., Speial.-The treaty of Pcrtsmouth was signed short ly before 4 o'clock Tuesday afternoon in the conference zoom of the navy general store at the navy yard. The firing of a national salute of 19 gun was the signal which told the peop! of Thrtsmouth, Kittery and Newcasti that the peace of Portsmouth was a accomplished fact, and the church bell in the three towns were soon pealin forth a joyful refrain. For 47 minutes those outside conference rcom anxiously nwaited signal. Suddenly an orderly das to the entance of the peace build and waved his hand to the gunn few fees away and the opening sho the sah:te rang out on the clear ai the soft September afternoon, 1 claiming peace between Russia and pan. WITTE GRj KOMURA'S HAND. Up to the moment of signing the treaty, no word had broken the silence of the conference room. Throwing his pen aside, Mr. Witte, without a word, reached across the table and grapsed Baron Komura's hand. His conferees followed and the Russian and Japanese delegates remained for a moment in silence, their right bands tightly clasp ed across the conference table. The war was over-Russia and Japan were, once more friends. This simple ceremony rang through and deeply impressed the attaches and secretaries of the two missions, who, with the invited witnesses, had formed a large circle around the delegates sit ting at the table. Baron de Rosen was the first to break the silence. Rising from his seat, the ambassador, looking at Baron Komura and Mr. Takahira straight in the eye, said a few words which one had only to hear to know that they came from his heart. He began by saying that he wished, op behalf of Mr. Witte, Rus sia's first plenipotentiary, and in his own name, to say a few, words. ROSEN'S EARNEST WORDS. "We have just signed." continued the ambassador, "an act which will have; forever a place in the annals of his tory. As negotiators on behalf of the empire of Russia, as well as the empire of Japan, we may with tranquil con science say that we have done all that was in our power in order to bring ab'ut the peace for which the whole .4ilized world was longing. We earn estly hope that friendly relations be tween the two empires will henceforth be firmly established and we trust that his excellency, Baron Komura, as Min ister of Foreign Affairs, and one of the leadig statesmen of his country, will apply to the strengthening of these re lations, the wide experience and wise statesmanship he so conspicuously dis played during these negotiations, which have now been so auspiciously con cluded." BARON KOMURA'S RESPONSE. Baron Komura replied that he shared entirely the views of Baron de Rosen. The Treaty of Portsmouth which they had just signed, he said, was in the! interest of humanity and civilization nd be was happy to believe that it would bring about a firm, lasting peace between the two neighboring empires. He begged to assure the Russian pleni ptentiaries that it would be his duty as well as his pleasure to do everything i his power to make the treaty in fact what it professes to be in words--a treaty of peace and amity.
