ing. has, l think, no intention of going TO
Portsmouth to witness the signing of the
peace treaty between Japan and Russia.
even If it is definitely decided that the

tween them and all the articles to be incor-
porated in the document have been agreed
upon. might come to Oyster Bay and sign
the treaty in the Presidents resident home,
giving the compact the name of the Treat ty
of Sycamore HILL" But the time and place
of affixing to the treaty their signatures
rests entirely, of course, with the ENJOYS
themselves.
1t was said by the Presidents secretary
this morning that the President had not as
yet considered the proposition of calling to-
gether a second peace conference at The
Hague, but it is believed here that he is
quite likely to do so after he returns to
Washington. The food of congratulatory
kilograms is now beginning to ebb, although
number of additional dspa tches were re-
ceived at the executive offices late last night
and early this morning. In ALL the Presi-

PORTSMOUTH. N. H., August 31.-In
American fashion the summer guests at

the peace negotiations are practically over

are many important details yet to be de-
cided and are remaining in their rooms re-

drafted the whole treaty according to the
