For Sake of Peace.
VICTOR Is GENEROUS
Representatives Of tho Mikado Did
as Their Imperial Ruler Said
Do and Treaty Will BE
at Once Drafted.

Portsmouth. N. H.. Aug. 31.-The
long and bloody war between Japan
and Russia is ended. The terms Of
peace were settled by M. White and
Baron Komura at the session of the
conference Tuesday morning and in the
afternoon preliminary arrangements
for an armistice were concluded and
the actual work of forming the treaty
of Portsmouth was by mutual agree
ment turned over to De Martene. Rus
sia's international lawyer. and Mr.
Dennison. who for twenty-five years
has acted as the legal adviser of the
Japanese foreign office. The treaty IL
expected to be completed by the end OF
the week.
This happy conclusion Of the confer
ence. which a week ago would have
been ship-wrecked had it not been for
the heroic efforts of President Roose-
welt. was sudden and dramatic. For
the sake of peace. Japan. with the
magnanimity of a victor, at the last
moment yielded everything still in is
sue. Russia refused to bulge from the
ultimatum Emperor Nicholas had given
to President Roosevelt through Ambas-
sador Meyer. No indemnity under any
guise, but an agreement to divide SAX
halin and reimburse Japan for the
maintenance of the Russian prisoners
were his last words. They had been. re-
peatedly reiterated in NJ. Whites in

Emperor Nicholas word had been
given not only to him. but to President
Roosevelt. the head of a foreign state.
