For Sake of Peace,

Representatives of the Mikado Did

Do and Treaty viii BE
at Once Drafted.

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 3o.-The
long and bloody war between Japan
and Russia is ended. The terms OF
peace were settled by NJ. WHITE and
Baron Komura at the session of the
conference Tuesday morning and in the
afternoon preliminary arrangements
for an armistice were concluded and
the actual work of forming the treaty
of Portsmouth" was by mutual agree
ment turned over to De Martene, Rus
sia's international lawyer, and MIR.
Dennison, who for twenty-five ySars
has acted as the legal adviser of the
Japanese foreign office. The treaty Is
expected to be completed by the end Of
the week.
This happy conclusion of the confer
ence, which week ago would have
been ship-wrecked had 1t not been for
the heroic efforts of President Roose
welt, was sudden and dramatic. For
the sake Of peace, Japan, with the
magnanimity of victor at the last
moment yielded everything still in is
ultimatum Emperor Nicholas had given
to President Roosevelt through Ambas-
sador Meyer. No indemnity under any
guise, but an agreement to divide SAX
halin and reimburse Japan for the
maintenance of the Russian prisoners
were his last words. They had been re-
peatedly reiterated in M. Whites in
structions and in the form of written
reply to the Japanese compromise pro-
posal of last Wednesday they were de-
livered to Baron Komura Tuesday
morning. M. White went to the confer
ence declaring he was powerless to
change the dot of an I or the cross OF
a T in his instructions.
Emperor Nicholas word had been
given not only to him, but to President
Roosevelt the head of a foreign state

he expressed 1t afterward and was

Komura gave way on all the disputed
points. With the prescience that has
enabled the Japanese to gauge the
mental processes of their adversarie.

sea, they had realized In advance thai

cession. When Baron Komura yielded
