PORTSMOUTH, August 2o.-
Peace between Russia and Japan
was practically concluded at this
mornings session of the peace con-
ference. In the final struggle the
Russians achieved the victory. For
the sake OF peace the Japanese, with

roic achievements in this war, met
the ultimatum OF the Czar and aban-
dOned their demands not only for
reimbursement for the cost of the
war, but for the repurchase of the
northern hall OF Sakhalin, Russia at
the same time agreeing to division
of the island.
The Japanese also Withdrew artl-
cles 10 and II CT the peace condi-
tions originally proposed demand
for the surrender of the internel
warships and limitation OF the Rus
sian naval power in the far easO. The
delegates OF the respective missions
will be called in at the afternoon ses-
sion and the actual work of fOrnlu-
lating the treaty OF peace will begin.
An armistice probably will be ar
ranged this afternoon.
NJ. Witte, accompanied by Baron
De Rosen, came to the hotel for
luncheon. There was a wonderful
demonstration upon their arrival.

rooms of their buildings into barracks for
strike breakers.
The employers, according to Secretary
Hamm of the typothetae anticipate a long
and bitter fight. President James Lynch
Of the International Typographical Union
has telegraphed in response to the request
of the Chicago branch of the union for
general strike against the typothetae in
all cities of the middle west that he will
be in Chicago in few days.
Another shop employing twenty-three

those affected by the strike. The firm dis
