RUSSO-JAPANESE
WAR is At AN END
The Treaty of Portsmouth Signed
By the Two Emperors.
AN OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
As a Mark of Appreciation of the
Part Taken by President Roose-
welt, He Was First Person Moth
fed by Russian Government.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 16.-Spencer Ed
dy, the American charge d'affaires, has
officially informed the foreign office
that the emperor of Japan ratified the
Russo-Japanese peace treaty Saturday.
The French minister at Toxic at the
same hour informed the Japanese gov
ernment that Emperor Nicholas had
signed the treaty.
Formally Announced.
The ratification of the treaty of peace
is formally announced in the official
Messenger, which says that its opera
ton began Saturday. The text Of the
treaty is not given.
As a graceful mark of appreciation
of the part he took in bringing about
the conference at Portsmouth and the
resultant peace, President Roosevelt
was the first person to be notified by
the Russian government that Emperor
Nicholas had ratified the treaty. AS
soon as the emperor's signature had
been affixed to the instrument, and be-
fore the treaty had been brought back
from Peterhof for the counter-signa-
ture of Foreign Minister Lamsdorf, the
news was sent directly to the president.
Official notification to the French gov
eminent, according to the foreign Of
fee, followed several hours later, when
Count Lamsdorf had completed the
ratification by his signature.
AS soon as the treaty had been fully
ratified the foreign Office communicated
the fact to the war, navy and other
ministers, and the necessary orders
were Immediately issued to bring home
some of the ships interned in neutral
harbors.
The date for the exchange Of prison
ers of war has not yet been fixed.
Thomas Smith, American vice-consul
at Moscow, has sent to Medvid several
thousand roubIes which had been re-
ceived from Japan for the Japanese
prisoners there.
The government took no steps to
make known to the people of Russia
the fact that the emperor had signed
the treaty, before the receipt Of the
official notification, that the instrument
had been ratified by the signature.
Little remains to be done to meet the
official requirements. At a later date,
possibly in the course of a month or
two, copies Of the treaty will be actual
ly exchanged, possibly in Washington,
by the Russian ambassador and the
Japanese minister or charge d~'affaires,
for it is possible that Minister Takahira
will, before that occurrence, have gone
to Japan on a leave of absence.
