Certainty.

President Roosevelt, at Oyster
Bay, received at l2:40 Monday MOI

THINKS for his "disinterested and un-
remitting efforts in the interest OF
peace and humanity and an ex-
preston Of the Japanese empeYcr,s
grateful appreciation Of the distin-
guished part the president has taken
in the establishment of peace in the
tar east.
The cablegram which was received
from the emperor personally follows:
Toxic. Sept. 3. 1905.-The Presl.
dent: | have received with gratifica-
ton your message of congratulations
conveyed through our plenipoten-ia-
ries and thank you warmly for it. To
your disinoerested and u1remitting
efforts in the interests of peace and
humanity I attach the high value
which is their due and assure you Of
grateful appreciation for the disin-
terested pat you have taken in the
establishment OF peace based upon
principles essential to the permanent
welfare and tranquility of the far east
(Signed) "MULSHUHITO."
The ca5legram from the Japanese
emperor puts an end to the rumors
that the emperor was dissatisfied with
the terms finally concluded by his
irotentiaries with those of the
emperor of Russia.
He accords President Roosevelt full
credit fer the part he took in bring.
ing about peace upon principles es-
sential to t.ae permanent welfare and
tranquility Of the far east
The concluding sentence Of the ca
blegram is especially significant !.
evidently voices the belief of the Jap
anese emperor that the peace about
dictated by the Japanese emperor
himself and that they could not be
otherwise tnan satisfactory to him
and his advisers.

aIese plenipotentiaries was due, it is
SumiSed, to the desire of the en-
reror to be- assured that the terms
agreed upon would be incorporated
into a treaty without the probability
of serious hitch. The assurance, i.
is said, vas conveyed to the jap
anese emperor Sunday night upon the
practical conclusion Of the draft Of
the treaty. The cablegram to President
Roosevelt followed in the natural
course.
From an official source at Ports
mouth the Associa ed Press is inform
ed that the treaty is completed. It con-
sists of a preamble and seventeen ar,
tfcles, the substance of all OF which
have been g,vea in the Associated
Press dispatches.
But there were still differences
about the wording Of the. protocol OF
the last sitting, which must be signed
before the treaty itself can be signed.
The 'plenipotentiaries and attaches
Of the two missions seem to be fully
as anxious for the curtain to ring
down On the final act of the drama
as the little colony of newspaper co...
