"WHISTLE SOFTLY" &"
The Presidents AdmomtiOn against
Premature JubiIatiOn.

Oyster Bay, Aug. 30.-"Whistle softly; wo
getting into the thin timber. but not yet
out OF the woods"
This honely admonition represents accurately
President Roosevelts view of the situation at
Portsmouth. Peace is in sight. but is not an
accomplished fact. Profoundly as he is gratiied
at the results already achieved by the plenipo
tentiaries, the President realizes fully that
important work remains 10 be done Until that
is accomplished 1t is scarcely the part OF wis
dom to do more than whistle softly" The
cup, raised to the lips may be stricken down.
The President has no definite idea Of how long
the plenipotentiaries may be engaged in the ne
gotation of the treaty of peace. He believes
that it should not take a great length of time
because. the points of difference having been
resolved. the Incorporation of the tentative
agreement reached becomes practically only
question of phraseology. The Importance of the
text OF the various sections of the treaty is not
minimiZed by the President. and he appreciates
thoroughly that obstacles may arise at any mo-
ment TO delay seriously the negotiations. or pos
sbly. wreck them entirely. The woods will not
be cleared entirely until the treaty is signed and
sealed

[By Telegraph to The TTibune.I

Toronto Aug. 30-"For the part he has played
in this most difficult of all diplomatic games
President Roosevelt is entitled to gratitude. ."
said Professor Goodwin Smith to-day "Japan's
moderation will add. not detract from her pres-
tge. 1t is a striking exception to the general
behavior OF Oriental Powers"
DO you think" he was asked. "the action of
Japan was inspired by ambition to secure peace
al any price?"
1T may be-" he replied. Japan is more ex-
hausted In spite of her many victories, than has
generally been supposed to be the case. and the
prospect Of prolonged strife with Russia at
whose heart Japan can never reach might also
prompt her to close the war"
Was reduction OF Japan's demands inspired
al all by England Ia your opinion?" he was
asked.
England may have had something to do with
It, was the reply. Having already gained
what she desired. England might not wish a
struggle which would smbitter the enmitv OF
