Roosevelt the Main Factor.

PARASITIC unwavering conviction
of France that President Roosevelts
notable initiative would eliminate in
peace has received its reward. The
news of the successful termination of
the conference at Portsmouth which
was first made known through the AS
ISOLATED Press bulletin, produced pro-
found impression when it was commu-
nicated to the members of the diplo-
matte corps and the high officials of
the government, who unanimously ex-
pressed the keenest satisfaction that
the heavy strain and anxiety had been
removed. and President Roosevelts
unrelenting persistency was generally
considered to have been the main fac
tor in bringing about the happy results.

ST. CONGRATULATIONS those
who are completely satisfied with the
results of the Portsmouth conference
are Charles Won Schwanebach, minis

eve should bless heaven for so
happy and honorable a settlement of
the war. Peace is highly desirable,
and we can now devote our attention
to the settlement of Russia's inter-
nal problems, which need careful and
undivided efforts without external
complications.
The minister expressed his belief
that the reforms will now take a sane
and natural course, but he declared
that to certain phases of the agitation,
a caustic must be applied firmly and
thoroughly, and the sore burned out
Of the body polite. The result of the
peace negotiations, he said, was i'm
portant to the United States as well
as to Russia and Japan, since the

CHINESE WILL FIGHT
ALONG BOYCOTT LINES

PORTLAND, Ore.-"The boycott
upon American goods in China Will
never end until the Chinese people
are admitted freely into the United
States, or until the same discrimina-
tions are made against the inferior
classes of other nations as those
which we make against the coolies Of
China"
Thus the Chinese boycott situation
was summed up by F. F. Tong, who
is at present in Portland on his way
to Washington, ID. c., as a special en-
voy from the emperor of China.
Continuing, Mr.. Tong said: "The
American people have no true idea Of
the extent of the present boycott. 1t
is confined to no one class-men, wo-
men and children are united in it"

MAKING A TREATY
DE h'ARTL!ks AND DENNIsoN BE.
GlN WORK ON DOCUMENT.
NO MEETING HELD ON TUESDAY
Said to Be disappointment on the Part
Of Both Nations.-Russan War
Party Thinks Witte Could Have
Made Better Terms.

PORTSMOUTH, N. H.-Mr. Denni-
son and NJ de Martens worked until
o'clock Wednesday night on the
draft OF the treaty. They completed
the wording of the preamble and three
articles and were discussing the ar
ticles relating to the cession of the
Chinese Eastern railway when they
adjourned. Up to 1 o'clock Wednes.
day night neither the Japanese en-
peror or the Russian emperor had re-
sponded to the appeals sent by their
respective plenipotentiaries asking for
the conclusion of an armistice.
Actual work of drafting the treaty
of Portsmouth" began Wednesday. 1t
was done by M. de Martens and Mr..
Dennison, acting as legal advisers for
the respective sides. While the bases"
of peace have been accepted by the
plenipotentiaries, considerable detail
remains to be worked out in the ella
boration of the articles of the treaty.
This is especially true in regard to
the articles dealing with the Chinese
Eastern railway and the surrender of
the leases of the Liaotung peninsula
and Port Arthur and Talienwan
(Dalny). Mr.. Pokotiloff, the Russian
minister to Picking, who was formerly
manager of the Russo Chinese bank at
Picking and who has intimate knowl-
edge of all the details relating to those
matters, is assisting M. de Martens.
A very anomalous situation exists
as to the impression created by the
conclusion of peace. While the outside
world applauds, in Japan there is evil
IDENTIFY great disappointment in the
terms, and in Russia, where it would
seem that there should be universal
rejoicing over the great diplomatic
victory M. White has won, the govern
ment seems to have received it cold
ly. With the people it will make M.
White a great and popular figure and
add to his laurels, but at court evil
IDENTIFY the very victory that M. Witte
has achieved makes it all the more
bitterly resented. 1t is an open secret
that when the emperor appointed M.
White chief plenipotentiary the mill
tary party" expected him to fail. They
did not want peace and it was freely
predicted in St Petersburg when M.
White left that he had been given an
impossible mission. They expected him
to fail in the negotiations or to make
a bad peace" and either would have
spelled political ruin. Instead, upon
the very terms upon which the en-
peror told Mr.. Meyer he would make
peace and upon which the military
party did not believe it possible for
peace to be negotiated, M. WHITE sue
ceeded in securing a treaty honorable
and under the circumstances favor
able to Russia. This has evidently
only exasperated his enemies the more
and intrigue is again at work to dis
credit him. Since Japan was in a con-
ciliatory mood they say he made a
mistake in surrendering half of SAX
halin. Yet he did so by the czar's or
ders and himself insists that person
ally he would have stuck to the end
to his original declaration not to cede
territory or give indemnity.
