Portsmouth. N. H., Special.?The
Ions and li'.oody war between Japan
and Russia is ended. The terms of
peace were settled by Mr. Witte and
Uaron Komura at the session of the
confirms- Tuesday morning and Tuesday
afternoon preliminary arrangements
for an armistice were concluded
and the actual work of framing the
"Treaty of Portsmouth" was by mutual
agreement turned over to Mr. D.
Martens, Russia's great international
lawyer, and Mr. Dcnnisun, who for 23
years has acted as the legal adviser of
the Japanese Foreign Olllce.
The treaty is expected to be completed
by the end of the week.
This happy conclusion of the conference,
wnieh a week ago. would have
been shipwrecked had it not been for
the heroic intercession of President
Roosevelt, was sudden and dramatic.
For the sake of peace, Japan, with the
magnanimity of a victor, at the last
moment vieldi d everything still in issue.
Russia refused to budge from the
-ultimatum of the Cuar, given to President
R< useveit through Ambassador
Meyer. No indemnity under any
guise, but an agreement to divide Sakhalin
and reimburse Japan for the
mainte nance of the Russian prisoners,
were his last words. They had boon
repeatediy reiterated in Mr. Witte's
Instructions, and in the form of u
written reply to tbe Japanese compromise
t ropnsals of last Wednesday
they w< re delivered to 11arun Kouiura
this tin r*:iuKTOTAi.
SURPRISE TO WITTE.
Mr. Witte went to the conference declaring
h was powerless to change the
dot of an "i" or the cross of a "t" in
his inrdrtt tions. Czar Nicholas' word
had been given not only to him but to
President Roosevelt, the head of a foreign
str.t". When Ll?ron Koaiura,
therefor" tirst offerer the new
basis of compromise, outlined in
the dispatches (the complete renunciation
of indemnity, coup,led with a
proposition for the redemption of Sakhalin
at a prieo to be fixed by a mixed
tribunal consisting of representatives
of the neutral power?in fr.et, if not in
words, the solution offered by President
Roosevelt) Mr. Witte again returned
a non possunius. it was what
Mr. Witte termed in an interview with
the press the "pysrolopieal moment."
Mr. Witt" did not liinch. He expected
a runturc and as he expressed it afterward
he \vas stunned by what happened.
Baron Kontura guv" way on all
the disputed points. With the prescience
that has enabled the Japanese
to gauge the mental processes of their
adversari' s on the Held of battle and
upon the sea. thev had realized in advanee
that pea.-e <ouhl he obtained in
no other way. They had their government.
President Roosevelt had also,
it is said, advised Jnoan that it wns
hotter to meet the Russian positions
than to t!:o the responsibility of continning
tho war for the purpose of collecting
tribute. The Mikado. at the
session of tho i a bine t ?.nd elder statesmen
y<f rday, had sanctioned tlie flnal
cot. i on. H lien Baron Komura
yielded, the rest was mere child's
piny.

Settled Their Differences
/ar is Over
CZAR KEEPS INTERNED SHIPS.
Articles 10 and 11 (interned warships
and the limitation of Russia's sea power
in the far East) were withdrawn*
Japan agreed that only that portion
of the Chinese Eastern Railroad south
of Chantufu. the position occupied by
Oyama. should be ceded to Japan. Both
sides, once the deadlock was broken
wanted a "just and lasting" peace,
and in that spirit it was decided to
practically neutralize Sakhalin, each
country binding itself not to fortify
its half of the island, and Japan assuming
an obligation not to fortify the
La Perouse strait between Sakhalin
and Hokkaido, which would bar Russia's
commercial route to the Pacific.
The plenipotentiaries went father.
They decided to add a new clause in
the nature of a broad provision for
mutual commercial privileges by which
a h country will secure for the othei
the benefit of the "most favored nation
clause," and the "open door."
LOOKS RATHER LIKE ALLIANCE.
The new treaty therefore will be a
wonderfully friendly document, ot
character almost to raise the suspicion
that the two countries have not negotiated
peace but have concluded the
basis of a future alliance. There is.
however, no evidence as rumored that
any secret clauses are to be appended
to the present treaty.
Before leaving the conference building.
felic itations were exchanged with
the President at Oyster Bay. Both
Baron Komura and Mr. Wltte telegraphed.
The former confined liimselt
to apprising Mr. Roosevelt of the conditions
upon which peace had been
concluded. Mr. Witte frankly laid his
tribute at the President's feet. In his
message he said:
"History will ascribe to you the glory."
and added the expression of Russia's
hearty appreciation of tne PresiI
dent's "generous initiative."
Mr. Roosevelt replied with words ol :
thanks and congratulation.
RUSSIANS DAZED WITH JOY.
Then began the jubilation. Mr. Witte
j and Baron do Rosen returned to the j
' hotel for luncheon. The Japanese had '
remained at the conference hall to j
lunch with Mr. Pierce. The news that
j peace had been concluded had preceded j
the Russian plenipotentiaries, and such i
sccnos of wild rejoicing have never he- i
fore been witnessed in the State ot j
New Hampshire as greeted them upon
their arrival at the hotel. Mr. Witte, j
dazed at the sudden and happy termi- ?
nation of the conference, was fairly j
| overpowered by the tremendous ovni
tion lie received. He could only express \
| his gratitude by shaking the hands ot j
everybody, and in response to the vol- |
Icy of questions fired at him as to the j
! terms murmur. "We pay not a kopeck 1
I and we half of Sakalin."
Later in his room, when he had par- I
: tinlly recovered himself, lie declared j
that he could uot have dreamed of such
! a victory?for that lie regards it as a
i diplomatic triumph of the first magni:
tude. be makes no attempt to conceal.
J And that is the general verdict here toI
night. The Russians are overjoyed at
1 the result.
"We have had our Lino Yangs and
1 Mukdens," they say. "and our Trushimas
on sea. hut the Japanese have ;
| had their Portsmouth."
J?\PS PLUNDERED AT START.
Although Mr. Wltto is hot a diplomatist.
they declare that lie has out-'
manoeuvered the Japanese, yielding j
one by one to the conditions until ho
forced them into a corner on the main !
issue of indemnity and left tlietii no'
escape, except surrender or to convert
the war into a war to collect tri- i
huto. The "Russians declared that diplomatically
the Japanese made their
colossal blunder when they agreed to
consider the renditions seriatim.
Tho Japanese correspondents,
though tin > .-aid little, plainly showed
their dissaiisfaetion with the t-Tins
durim? lIk* afrcrniwin v1h-.it

Ambassador Sees Czav.
St. Potr burg. By Cable.- Mr. Meyer,
the American ambassador, had an
audience with the Emperor at 1'etorbof
Wednesday afternoon, which lasted
three hour.-. Presumably the
'i ter of j; a< ? was discussed tt length,
i but. nothing < an be ascertained at
present ivgarding what actually
tcok place, as the embassy declines
to give out any statement. It is known, 1
: , however, that a long cablegram has
1 been sent to Washlngtqn giving the
results of tl. conference. The Emper
1 or attended the manoeuvres in the
- , morning, and returned to Peterhof just
in time to receive Mr. Meyer.
1 i
mouth anil Newcastle and the vessels
in the harbor were adding to the din
with their sirens and bells. One of the
Japanese, however, gave the true note
when ho remarked:
IP MIKADO APPROVES, GOOD.
"Tell me that, tho Mikado has approved
it and I shall be satisfied."
In that, sentence was compressed
tho Spartan heroism of the Japanese
nation, and later when Mr. Sato issued
the official explanation of the reasons
that, moved the Japanese plenipotentiaries
and it showed that the Emperor
had approved, there wa3 a perceptible
change in the feelings of tho Japanese.
Considerable disappointment,
however, continued to bo manifested.
Baron Komura following the rule he
has set himself, declined to make any
statement, and Mr. Takahira would
only sav when asked to make a state
ment:
"For the sake of humanity and civilization,
and an we believe, in the interest
of both countries and the world,
we have made peace."
A scene of the greatest excitement
followed the receipt, of the news in
the lobby of the Hotel VVcntworth. The
official bulletin telephoned from the
conference room at the navy yard by
Mr. Sato and like an electric thrill
flooded through the room. There were
screams of joy. Men threw their hats
aloft, women actually wept. Then
there was a rush for the telegraph
offices and in an instant the news was
speeding to the remotest corners of
the earth.
JAP CORRBSPOXDENTS GLOOMY.
"We did not believe it this morning,"
said Mr. Fukotonii, correspondent for
The Osaki Asahi, as he walked away
sinking his head. Japan expected a
great deal more than this. Division of
Sakhalin was not to be thought of. It
was ours by the blood of our soldiers
and we should have kept it. Russia
brought on this war; she should have
paid for It."
llo was interrupted by another correspondent.
Hut the Emperor has ordered
it."
"Yes," said another, "it is the Emperor's
word."
The attitude of the group at the
mention of the Emperor's name immediately
changed.
"Yes," assented one, "the Emperor
has spoken and Japan will obey. The
Emperor is all-wise and Japan is satisfied."
The incident was a striking illustration
of that wonderful devotion of the
Japanese for their sovereign and of the
implicit confidence they place in his
every action.
Both Countries May Borrow.
New York, Special.?Well-informed
banking interests are of the opinion
that the treaty of peace between Russia
and Japan will oon be followed by
a Russian loan and with another later
by Japan. The extent of the loans will
depend largely upon the provisions of
the agreement, between the two countries.
Bankers believe that Russia will
make liberal compensation to Japan,
although this may he provided for in a
separate understanding. It is known
that Russia has made all preparations
for placing part of a loan here, and it
is well understood that Japan contemplates
raising more money to pay intertial
obligations.
To Draft Treaty Promptly
Portsmouth, N. II., Special.?The official
account of Monday afternoon s
meeting was given by Mr. Sato on his
arrival at the hotel. It is as follows:
"In the afternoon session of August
29, the conference has discussed the details
of the treaty of peace. It has
been decided to entrust the drafting of
the clauses of Privy Councillors He
Martens and Mr. Dennison. legal advisor
of the Foreign Office of Japan, with
instructions to finish the work as soon
as possible."
Surprise in St Petersburg.
St. Petersburg. By Cable.?The <1 i?*patches
from Portsmouth brought the
first news of the result of the conference.
The news came as an electric
surprise, as official and diplomatic circles
had been practically without hopes
of peace all during the day. The result
will only become known at night
to comparatively few persons.
