concessions granted to Russia in the
proposed pgsce treaty is so deep that

Portsmouth. N. H., Sept. 4.-1ndica-
lions this morning were that the
s.Trs,aty Of Portsmouth would not be
gsignsd until tomorrow. The protocol
or minutes Of the historic session" of
August 10th, when peace was arranged,
was still in issue and chances were
against Its completion and approval IN
time to sign the treaty at 5 o'clock as
had been Professionally arranged. Both
sides, regard the official record of the
sitting on the 29th as Of the greatest
Importance. The Japanese say they
have no information of the reported
revolutionary outbreak in Japan. Ca
bic communication. which is via For
mosa, is slow. but cables have been re-
ceived. dated today.
A special train bearing the priest and
choir OF the Russian orthodox church
4 III New York, is en- route here. After
the treaty is signed the Russian pleni-
poter.tiaries and attaches will proceed
I to Christ church at Portsmouth, where
9servi se and thanksgiving will be held. {,
"A decision was reached by the plen-
stpotel ltislries which came as sregretta-
bic surprise to trading nations. Man
churia, 1t has been determined, will
remain In possession OF the japanese
and Russian forces for eighteen
months from the date Of the signatu- -e
Of the treaty.
This leisurely withdrawal undoubt-
edly will provoke considerable criticism
because 1t seems to have been determ-
1ned upon in order to imprint forever
!: the influence Of the belligerents in parts
of the region which hereafter they will
regard as respective spheres of inf1u-
sence.
The ostensible reason. for the delay in
( evHcuating Manchuria is that it is ex-
stremely difficult to remove in a shorter
space OF time the tremendous number
OF men who now are facing each other.
There are under command of Cen
eral Linevitch practically million
men, the greater part Of whom are
zintrenched before the army of Field
Marshal Oyama in the vicinity of Ku-
angendztse. at Harbin and along the
line between Harbin and Vladivostok.
Field Marshal Oyama has about 60O,-
900 men directly under command, and
several Japanese armies are operating
IN northern C0rea and other points.
Russia claims she cannot withdraw
rapidly because the capacity of the
Trans Siberian railroad is limited.
Details Of the evacuation would not
ment which has Seen agreed upon. It.
VIII be considered complete when the
Japanese forces have crossed the from
tier OF Manchuria into. Corea and are
in the Liaotung peninsula. The fact
that the Russians agreed to this pro-
posal is accepted by the Japanese as
another evidence .of the recognition OF
their possession Of Corea.
The Lislotung peninsula, by the terms
OF the treaty. is placed under Japanese
protector;lte; by this agreement it is
regarded as de facto in Japanese pos
session.
The first step toward evacuation will
be simultaneous. The Russians will
fall back to Harbin, the japanese to a
point near Mukden. This will be ac-
mplished within four months, and the
details will be left to the commanders
In the field. The second movement will
be more extensive, and the third will
witness the complete withdrawal
It viii be the duty Of Japan to re-
store Mailchuria to the administration
OF China, but Russia is confident Of her
ability to take some step which will en-
able her to participate in this cere-
mony..
China, undoubtedly, will make siren
suous objection to the lengthy occupa-
.fion Of Afanchuria which Japan and
Russia have determined upon. She had
expected to regain possession of the
northern province Immediately after
the ratification of the treaty. She had
gone to the point, in fact, of calling
upon viceioys and ministers abroad for
the expression of their views as to
measures which should be adopted to /.
restore completely the administration
of Manchllria.
Chinese authorities are concerned
over the prospect that they will exper- !
ience the same difficulty in connection !
with the withdrawal of Russia and ia
pan as they had in bringing about the
evacuation of Great Britain and Ger
many out of Shanghai after the boxer
revolt.
