man in the opinion of the Russian pub
lie. said to the correspondent:
''Witte is an incompatible juggler
with figures. He was minister OF
finance for decade, and he ruined the
country, but he always showed a sur
plus in the revenues. Russia will never
know the real price which it has paid
to Japan for peace. The bureaucracy

Russia's hearty appreciation of the
presidents generous initiative" t
Mr.. Roosevelt replied with words of
thanks and congratulation. Then be-
gan the jubilation Mr.. White and Bar
on de Rosen returned to the hotel for
luncheon. The Japanese had remained
at the conference hall 70 lunch with Mr.
PIERCE. The news that peace had been
concluded had preceded the Russian
plenipotentiaries, ard such scenes of
wild rejoicing have never before been
witnessed in the state of New Hamp-
shire as greeted them upon their arriy-
al at the hotel
The Russians Jubilant.
Mr.. White, dazed at the sudden and
happy termination of the conference,
was fairly overpowered by the tremend-
GUS ovation he received. He could only
express his gratitude by shaking the
hands of everybody, and in response TO
the volley of questions fired at him as
to the terms, murmured, 1--WE pay not a
kopeck and We get half of Sakhalin."
Later, in his room, when he had par
TALLY recovered himself, he declared
that he could not have dreamed of such
a victory, for that he regards it as a
diplomatic triumph of the first magni-
tude he makes no attempt to conceal.

The presidents final appeals to st.
Petersburg and Toxic had been made.
No response had been received from the
orient, but from Peterhof palace had
come. in Emperor Nicholas own words,
Russia's ultimatum-''n a kopeck Of
indemnity, not a verst of territory
The situation looked black indeed.
The president, however, did not despair.
With the final terms of the Japanese
government, as soon as they should be
received from Japan's emperor, he had
determined to seek the aid of Emperor
William of Germany, in support of his
propositions that the warning powers
submit their points of difference to the
arbitrament of an impartial tribunal.
Had Suggested Arbitration.
Arbitration, in one form or another,
had been the presidents solution of the
difficulty ever since the differences,
seemingly irreconcilable by the ENJOYS,
had arisen. To this proposition Japan
had acceded. With the powerful influ-
ence of the German emperor at Peterhof
enlisted, it was hoped that the ground
of objection might be cut from beneath
the feet of Emperor Nicholas.
Official Confirmation.
Official confirmation of the historic
tidings reached the president in a ci-
pher dispatch from Portsmouth. By
authority and at the request of Barren
Komura, the chief envoy of Japan, the
dispatch stated:
1.-The plenipotentiaries of Japan have
withdrawn their claim for reimburse
ment of war expenses, and an agree
ment has been reached as to the parti-
ton of the island of Sakhalin. All
main points have been definitely settled.
The plenipotentiaries will now proceed
with discussion of details"
Full Report From Portsmouth.
Shortly after the receipt of this mes
sage, the full report of the scenes at
Portsmouth incident to the announce
ment of the news there, including Mr..
Whites statement of the adjustment OF
the differences by the conferees, was re-
ceived at the executive Offices and car
ried by special messenger to President
Roosevelt at his home. He read the
account with deep interest.
President Profoundly Gratihed.
While the president did not seek to
conceal his profound qualification that
the conference had reached an agree
ment, he said he was obliged, in the
circumstances. to refrain from any for
NAL expression regarding the work &C
complished until he should have been
informed fully as to the details. II can
he said, however, that he feels that the
successful issue Of the conference is a
great triumph for humanity and civili-
zation. Such public expression as he
may make regarding the work of the
conference will be announced after he
shall have have had opportunity careful

He Voices the Omcfnt view OF thc
Japanese Position.
Portsmouth, Aug. 30.-The japanese
statement was issued by Mr.. Sato on
behalf of the Japanese plenipotentia-
Iies:
1.-The questions of the final DISPOSE
ton of the island of Sakhalin and the
reimbursement to japanese of her war
expenses have from the first been issues
on which absolute divergence of views
existed. The difference of opinion upon
these points-not one, but both-have
frequently threatened the existence OF
the conference. But his majesty, the
emperor of Japan, responding to the
dictates of humanity and civilization, in
a spirit of perfect cancellation and in
the interest of peace, authorized his
plenipotentiaries to waive the question
OF reimbursement of war expenses and
consented to a division of Sakhalin
upon terms which are mutually accept
able, thus making it possible to bring
the important work of the conference
TO successful issue

STORY of THE FINAL SESSION.
A Happy Termination of the Ports
mouth Peace Conference

A Happy Termination of the Ports
mouth Peace Conference.
Portsmouth, N. H, Aug. 3o.-The long
and bloody war between Japan and
Russia is ended. The terms of peace
were settled by Mr.. Witte and Baron
Komura at the session of the conference
Tuesday morning, and in the afternoon
preliminary arrangements for an armis-
tice were concluded and the actual work
of framing the Treaty of Portsmouth"
was, by mutual agreement, turned over
to Mr.. De Martens, Russia's great inter-
national lawyer, and Mr.. Dennison, who
for % years has acted as the legal adj
wiser of the Japanese foreign office.
The treaty is expected to be complet-
ed by the end of the week.
A Happy Conclusion.
s This happy conclusion of the confer
ence which, a week ago, would have
been shipwrecked had it not been for
the heroic fntercession of President
Roosevelt, was sudden and dramatic.
For the sake Of peace, Japan, with the
magnanimity of victor, at the last mo-
ment yielded everything still in issue.
Russia refused to bulge from the ulti-
matum Emperor Nicholas had given to
President Roosevelt through Ambassa-
dor Meyer No indemnity under any
guise, but an agreement to divide SAX
hahn and reimburse Japan for the main
tenance of the Russina prisoners were
his last words. They had been repeat
eddy reiterated in Mr.. Whites instruc-
lions and in the. form of written re-
ply to the japanese compromise pro-
posal of last Wednesday, they were de-
livered to Baron komura Tuesday
morning. Mr.. White went to the con-
ference declaring he was powerless to
change the dot of an or the cross of a
t in his instructions. Emperor Nichol-
as word had been given not only to
him, but to President Roosevelt, the
head of a foreign state.
Japan Played the Trump Card.
When Baron Komura, therefore, first
offered the new basis of compromise
outlined in the press dispatches yester-
DAY (the complete remuneration of in
demnity, coupled with the proposition
for the redemption of Sakhalin at a
price to be fixed by a mixed tribunal
consisting of representatives. of the
neutral powers, in fact, if not i9 words,
the solution offered by the ;prssident)
Mr.. Witte again returned a. non pos
sumus. 1t was what Mr. White termed
in a recent interview the psychological
moment" Mr.. Witte did not finch. He
expected a rupture, and as he ex-
pressed himself afterwards, he was
stunned by what happened Baron Ko-
mura gave way on all the disputed
points.
To Renig Meant More War.
With the precedence that has enabled
the japanese to gauge the mental proc
ess Of their adversaries on the field of
battle and upon the sea, they had re-
allied in advance that peace could be
obtained in no other way. They had
warned their. government. President
Roosevelt had also, it is believed, adj
viseds Japan. that it was better to meet
the Russian position. than to take the
responsibility of continuing the war for
the purpose of collecting tribute. The
nikado at the session Of the cabinet
and elder statesmen had sanctioned the
concession. When Baron Komura yield
ed, the rest was mere child's play.
