ily than any other one man in the
world the enormous difficulties which
confronted the ENJOYS in their DELHI
erations.
The first word came over the tele-
phone, but the president while ex-
pressing himself as extremely gratifed,
hesitated to place too much reliance
in the report preferring to await Of
fetal confirmation. This reached him
at 2:20 p. m. in cipher dispatch from
Portsmouth. By authority and at the
request of Baron Komura, the chief
envoy of Japan, the dispatch stated:
''The plenipotentiaries of Japan have
withdrawn their claim for reimburse
ment of war expenses, and an agree
ment has been reached as to the parti-
ton of the island of Sakhalin All
main points have been definitely set
tied. The plenipotentiaries will now
proceed with discussion of details"

Der, but we are not yet out of the
woods" This homely admonition rep
resents accurately President Roose-
velt's view of the situation at Ports
mouth. Peace is in sight. but yet is
not an accomplished fact. Profoundly
as he is gratified at the results al
ready achieved by the plenipotentiares,
the president realizes fully that most
important work remains yet to be
done. Until that is accomplished, it
is scarcely the part of wisdom he
thinks, to do more than whistle soft
ly.'
The Importance of the text of the vari-
Gus sections of the treaty is not min
imiZed by the president and he appre-
ciates thoroughly that obstacles may
arise at any moment that might delay
seriously the negotiations, or possibly
wreck them entirely. The woods will
not be cleared entirely until the treaty

years has acted as the legal advisor of
the Japanese foreign Office The treaty
| is expected to be completed by the end
| of the week.
For the sake of peace, the Japanese
with a magnanimity worthy of their
heroic achievements in this war, met
the ultimatum of the car and aban-
doned their demands, not only for re-
endorsement for the cost of the war,
but for the repurchase of the northern
half of Sakhalin, Russia at the same
time agreeing to division of the
island. The Japanese also withdrew ar
ticles 10 and II of the peace conditions
originally proposed (demand for the
surrender of the informed warships
and limitation of the Russian naval
power in the far east). Japan agreed
that only that portion of the Chinese
eastern railroad south of Chantfu, the
position occupied by Oyama, should be
coded to Japan.

ing Fluctuations were exchanged with

on Komura and Mr.. Witte telegraphed.

ing Mr.. Roosevelt of the conditions
upon which peace had been concluded

said: History will ascribe to you the
glory" and added the expression of
Russia's hearty appreciation of the
presidents generous initiative.' Mr.
Roosevelt replied with words of thanks
and congratulation
Japanese Statement.
The following statement was issued
by Mr.. Sato on behalf of the Japanese
plenipotentiaries: "The question of
the final disposition of the island of
Sakhalin and the reimbursement to
Japan of her war expenses have from
the first been issues on which absolute
divergence of views existed. The diff
ference of opinion upon these points
not one, but both-have frequently
threatened the existence of the con-
ference. But his majesty, the emperor
OF Japan, responding to the dictates of
humanity and civilization, has, in a
spirit of perfect Cancellation and in the
interest of peace, authorized his pleni-
potentiaries to waive the question and
has consented to division of Sakha-
lin upon terms which are mutually
acceptable, thus making it possible to
bring the important work of the con-
| ference to successful ISSUE
