TREATY NOW COMPLETE
The Evacuation Of Manchuria Causes
Discussion.
JAPANESE TAKING NO CHANCES.
They Insist That All the Russian Forces Along
the Line Of the Eastern Chinese Railroad
That Remains Ia Russla's Possession Shall
Be Required to Leave Manehuria at the
Earliest Practical Time.

Portsmouth, N. H. (SpeciaD.- After
two long sessions, the second lasting
until late at night, the treaty of peace
between Russia and Japan was completed
in rough form. The work of engrossing
on parchment will be entrusted to ex-
pert penmen from the Department OF
State in Washington.
The air had been full of rumors all
day of differences between the ENJOYS
over the articles relating to the division
of Sakhain Island and the evacuation
of Manchuria. But those who are in
timately concerned in the conferences
insisted that there was no danger that
the negotiations would fail.
While the completed treaty will be
cabled to St. Petersburg and Toxic, the
reports of both nations indicate that
there is no occasion to wait until formal
approval comes from the Gar and the
Mikado before the plenipotentiaries may
affix their signatures.
The Japanese admit that they have
not bad the Mikado's approval of the
agreement reached on last Tuesday, but
painly intimate that thas is not necessary
to permit Baron Komura and Mr.. Taxa
hira becoming signatorieS of the conven-
ton. Mr.. Takahira, for Japan, and Mr..
Martens and Mr.. Plancon, for Russia,
declared that there was no danger of any
hitch.
The points of difference regarding
Sakhalin Island were harmonized. The
Russian ENJOYS having agreed that the
northern part of the island, which Rus
sia will retain, should not be fortified,
this having been insisted upon by the
Japanese who were required by the
terms of the agreement to erect no guns
on the southern part of the island, the
only remaining feature of the SAX
hahn article relating to the rights Of
Russian property holders and residents in
the portion of the island which will be-
come Japan's, were quickly adjusted.
The provision forbidding the Japanese
to erect Notifications overlooking La
Perouse Straits is very explicit and will
make it impossible for Sakhalin to be
used as a war base for Japanese fleet
or for the matter of that, for Russian
fleet
- Under the agreement reached the
troops of both beligerents are to retire
from their present position in Man.
churia Immediately upon the proclama-
ton of the peace treaty, the Russian to
Hardin and the Japanese to Mukden. Sub
sequently the complete withdrawal from
Chinese territory of the troops of both
armies will be carried out in accordance
with provisions set forth in the treaty.
Upon the insistence of Japan, all Rus
sian forces along the line of that part
of the Eastern Chinese Railroad which
will remain in Russia's possession will
be required to leave Manchuria at the
earliest practicable moment. The treaty
as agreed upon will provide the exact
number of railway guards which both
Russia and Japan may retain for the
purpose of protecting their rolling stock
and trackage in Manchuria.

atoms by the explosion of six sticks OF
dynamite in his balloon while 1900 feet

were in the crowd of $4,000 persons who
saw the calamity.
Baldwin had been giving daily exhibit
tons at the county fair. He would as
cend several thousand feet in the air
and explode half dozen sticks of dyna-
mite at different times. Thursday he
had mounted ], 500 feet in the air and his
airship was soaring gracefully. While
the crowd was watching him there ap-
peared in the sky where the airship had
been a great cloud of smoke. A few
seconds later there came down great
report from the clouds, the smoke OBJ
scured the view and fragments of the
airship began falling. Baldwin had lit
orally been blown to bits by the explo-
sion. His body was picked up over
space of several acres and removed to a
morgue.
Baldwin's wife screamed when she
saw the smoke, long before the explo-
sion, for her practised eye told her OF the
tragedy which had occurred in the clouds.
She fell in a dead faint before the vast
crowd had realized what was happening.
No one can tell how the accident oc-
Cured. The six sticks of dynamite ex-
ploded simultaneously, as only one re-
port was heard. Mems faces blanched
and women tainted as the fragments OF
the ship and the aeronaut's body fell.

engaged for long while in giving bal
