Oyster Bay. Sept. 3-President Roose- welt today received at 12:40 p. m., from the Emperor of Japan warm thanks for his "disinterested and unreD1itting efforts in the interests of peace and hue manity" and an expression of the Japa- nese Emperir's grateful appreciation of the distinguished part" the Presi- dent has taken in the establishment of peace in the Far East The cable gram which was received from the Era- peror personally follows:
 ''Tokio, Sept. 3, 1905. "The President:-
 T have received with qualification your message of congratulations con- veyed through our plenipotentiaries, and thank you warmly for 1t. To your disinterested and unremittipg efforts in the interests of peace and humanity l attach the high value which is their due. and assure you of grateful appre- ciation for the distinguished part you have taken in the establishment of q peace based upon principles and essen- tial to the permanent welfare and tram guilty of the Far East.
 (signed) "Mutsuhito."
 The cablegram from the Japanese Emperor puts an end to the rumors that the Emperor was dissatisfied with the terms finally concluded by his plenf- potentiaries with those of the Empe- TOT of Russia. He accordH President Roosevelt the full credit for the part he took In bringing about peace "upon principles and essential to the perxna- nent welfare and tranquility of the Far East"
 The concluding sentence of the cable gram Is especially significant. It ev- idently voices the belief of the Japa- nese Emperor that the peace about to be concluded at Portsmouth will be for a permanent peace.
 It can be said that the President has expressed no anxiety at the delay of the cableRram from the Emperor of Ja- pan. 1t was known here that the terms of the treaty concluded at Portsmouth were dictated by the Japanese Emperor himself, and that they could not be oth- erwise than satisfactory to him and his advisors. The delay in responding to the Japanese plenipotentiarieg was due. 1t Is surmised, to the desire of the Elm peror to be assured that the terms agreed upon would be incorporated Into treaty without the probability of a serious hitch. The assurance, 1t Is stated was conveyed to the Japanese Emperor last night upon the present conclusion of the draft of the treaty. The cablegram to President Roosevelt today followed in natural course. -~s Conclusion of Treaty.
 Information reaching the President today from Portsmouth indicates that the treaty will be concluded formally and signed early this week, probably tomorrow or Tuesday. The substance of the treaty is being reduced to en- grossed form in two texts. English and French. As soon as this formality has been completed the convention so inc portant, not only to the two bell!gsrent powers, but to the civilized world as well, will be signed by the plenipotea- tiaries of the two governments directly and will go into history as the treaty of Portsmouth"
 President Roosevelt passed the greater part of the day at Sagamore Hill. He and Mrs. Roosevelt, with some of their children, attended morn ing services at Christ Episcopal Church Owing to the tremendous rain and wind storm which swept over tnis part of Long Island, beginning early today and continuing until late this af- ternoon, the President and Mrs. Roose- welt sent the children home from church in a carriage and themselves walked the three miles tc Sagamore Hill in the storm.
