complete ACCORD
ON ALL QUESTIONS
Peace Conference Will Now Proceed to
Elaboration Of Treaty--Japan
Yields Indemnity.

Portsmouth, N. h., Aug. 3O.-The
long and bloody war between Japan
and Russia is ended.
The terms of peace were agreed up
on by M. Witte and Baron Komura at
the session of the conference yesterday
morning, and in the afternoon prelim.
mary arrangements for an armistice
were concluded and the actual work
of framing the "Treaty of Washing
ton" was by mutual agreement turned
over to Mr.. de Martens, Russia's inter.
national lawyer, and Mr.. Demmison.
who for twenty five years has been the
legal adviser of the Japanese foreign
office.
The happy conclusion of the confer
ence, which week ago would have
been shipwrecked had it not been for
the heroic intercession Of President
Roosevelt, was sudden and dramatic.
For the sake of peace Japan, with the
magnanimity of victor, at the last
moment yielded everything still at is.

Car Refuses to Bulge.
Russia refused to bulge from the
ultimatum Emperor Nicholas had Civ.
en- to President Roosevelt through Am
bassador Meyer. No indemnity under
any guise, but an agreement to divide
Sakhalin and rein burse Japan for the
maintenance Of prisoners were his last
words. They had been repeatedly re-
lterated in M. Whites instructions, and
on request for written reply to the
Japanese compromise proposal of last
Wednesday they were delivered to Bar
on Komura yesterday morning. M.
Witte went to the conference declaring
that he was powerless to change the
dot of an 81" or the CROSS of st" in
bis instructions. Emperor Nicholas
word had been given not only to him,
but to President Roosevelt, the head
Of foreign state.
When Baron Konura, therefore, first
offered the new basis of compromise
outlined in the Associated Press dis.
patches last night (the complete re-
nunciation of indemnity, coupled with
a proposition for the redemption OF
Sakhalin at price to be fixed by q
mixed tribunal consisting of represen
tatives of the neutral powers, in fact
if not in words, offered by the presi
DENT, Mr.. Witte again returned nor
possumus.
Thought II Had Failed.
1t was what M. Witte termed in his
interview with the Associated Presf
the psychological moment" M
Witte did not finch. He feared rup'
ture, and as he expressed it afterward
he was stunned by what happened.
Baron Komura gave way on all dis
puted points.
With the prescience that has enabled
the Japanese to gauge the mental pro
cesses of their adversaries on the field
of battle and upon the sea, they had
realized in advance that peace could
be obtained in no other way. They
had warned their government. Presl
dent Roosevelt has also, it is believed
advised Japan that it was better tc
meet the Russian position than to take
the responsibility of continuing the
war for the purpose Of collecting trib
ute. The mikado, at the advice of the
cabinet and elder statesmen yesterday
had sanctioned the final concession.

Takes Only Part Of Railway.
Articles 10 and II interned war
ships and the limitation of Russia g
sea power in the far East were with
drawn. Japan agreed that only that
portion of the Chinese Eastern railway
south of Chantfu, the position occu-
pied by Oyama, should be ceded to
Japan. Both sides, once the deadlock
was broken, wanted "just and last
ing" peace, and in that respect it was
decided to practically neutralize SAX
halin, each country binding itself not
to fortify its half of the island, and
Japan assumed an obligation not to
fortify Laperouse strait, between Sax
hahn and Hokkaido, which would bar
Russia's commercial route to the
Pacific.
The plenipotentiaries went further.
They decided to add new clause in
the nature Of a broad provision for
mutual commercial privileges by
which each country will secure from
the other the benefit of the "most ia
vored nation clauses-that is, the
"open door"
Alliance to Be Outcome.
The new treaty therefore will be q
wonderfully friendly document, # a
character almost to raise the suspicion
that the two countries have not only
negotiated peace, but have concluded
the basis of future alliance. There
is, however, no evidence, as rumored.
that any secret clauses are to be ap.
pended to the present treaty.
Before leaving the conference build
ing fluctuations were exchanged with
the president at Oyster Bay. Both

conditions upon which peace had beer

message he said:

glory" and added an expression Of
Russia's hearty appreciation of the
presidents generous initiative" Mr.
Roosevelt replied with words of thanks
and oongratulation. Then began the
jubilation.

turned to the hotel for luncheon. The
