U, Aug, 29.—Peace between { ld Japan was practi cally conc Tiaesday morning's session of onterence, In the fiual strugsie the Russians achieved the viet Japanes wy. For ake of peace the nimity worthy of their hievements in this war, met the ultimatum of the czar and abandoned their demands not only for reimbursement for the cost of the war but for the repure e of the northern half of Sakhali Russia at the same time agrecing to division of the island. The Japanese also with- drew articles 1 and 11 of the peace conditions originally proposed, (de- mand for the surrender of the interned warships and limitation of the Russian Naval power inthe Far East.) The delegate: of the respective missions will be called in at the afternoon session and the actual work of formulating the treaty of peace will begin. Tt was a psychological crisis. T had made up my mind not to strike out a letter of the ultimatum IT submitted So far as I was concerned it was ended, But I could not tell how it would work, on the Japanese mind. It was a com- plete victory “At the afternoon's session.” Mr, Witte continued “all the delegates will participate. Now that the general lines of the peace have been agreed up On, the details wi!l have to be consid- ered and dise by the competent persons who accompanied tie Althongh a question with heorie @ have Plen{potensinries of detail, they include matters of great importance. Chief among them is the arm!st!ee which Baron Komura and myself have already proposed to our emperors. The release of the prison- ers also will come up immediately. Mr. Witte, continuing his conversa- tion, said that he would like to explain the visit of Mr. Vanderlip Tuesday night in order io prevent false state- ments in general but also of money matters and of the possibility of Rus- sia floating a Joan in the United States. T told him two thi ‘If Russia must continye the war there is at the com mand of the treasury a reserve cf 1,008,000.000 roubles in gold whick T accumulated when T was minister of finance. That fund is to protect paper issues but could be nsed and we would not be obliged to borrow at wnaccepl- able rates. If 1 make peace, I told him from every where in America. in France, ir Germany and in England would come 4 flood of offers of money.’ Therefore, if pence comes it wonld be come only a question of whether Mr. Vanderlip's offers were preferable to others.” The Japanese back to the hotel during recess, remained for luncheon at the yard. The news that peace had heen agreed upon caused the most intense exeite- ment at the hotel where the envoys envoys did not come They navy have heer staying Werywhere there was a del of jnbilation. Mr. Witte + ried by Baren de Rosen H lcor luncheon, There wonderfol demonstration upon their arrival, A great crowd had eol- lected 1 the porte cochere of the annex where the Russians are quartered and when their automobile drew up the came t was a air was torn with frantic cheers. Hats were thrown aloft. Mr. Witte as he stepped out of the motor car seemed quite overcome. Too fell for utterance he col] only zrasp and shake the hands that were extended to him. so was equally moved congratulations of the Baron Rosen and received th crowd in silence For about fve minutes the two pl otentiaries were kept upon t vorch listening to the 5 of the hotel guests “Do von pav indemnity?” was the universal interrozation., ‘Pas un seu,” (not a cent) was Mr. Witte’s response, Forci is way to the door, Mr. Witte en: tered the members of the Russian mission. who rushed forward to shake his hand. Briefly, in Russian, he gave them the jovful tidings. Then, as he started up the stairs, the news- paper correspondents clamored for in- formation: “What have you done? How it is settled?” they cried. “We pay not a kopeck of indemnity,” he replied as he turned at the land- ing balf‘way up the stairs, “We get half of Sakhalin. That is the agree- ment in a nut shell.” The two plenipotentiaries have re- spectively proposed to their emperors the conclusion of an immediate armis- tice. The details of the armistice will be discussed at the afternoon meeting and immediately after the question of the release of the Russian prisoners. The Ascciatsed press correspondent accompanied Mr. Witte to his room The envoy had been quite overcome by the creat ovation he had received and the intensc strain ne had been under. He threw himself into his arm chair ineoherent pra . and after a few minutes to “pull him- self tugether” he began to speak, slow- ‘ly and deliberately, almost as if he ‘were talking to himself. “It seems incredible,” he said. point Mr. Witte. who was z under excitement, alm imself.

Until T could not antici pate such a great and happy issue.” As the news that the plenipotentia- ries had agreed to conclude peace spread through the city all the church bells began to ring and there was gen- eral rejoicing The rumor is circulating that there is some sort. of a secret understandiny behind the treaty. The Japanes cor- rspondents express great dissatisfac- tion with the basis of the peace treaty. Several of them say they dislike te telegraph the news to Japan. They appear worried and sad. possession, Oyster Bay, Aug. 29.—President Roosevelt received the news that the peace envoys at Portsmouth had reached ar agreement, in his library at Sagamore Hill. He was engaged at the very moment on some matters with Secretary Loeb regarding the peace ne gotiations, The intimation of the agreement came to him from the Asse clated press in the form of a bulletin announcing that the envoys had agreed on all points which hitherto had been the subject of difference. While the president had been hopeful that such an agreement would be reached he was surprised that it had came Tresday His belief had been that the arrange- ment, if made at all, wonld not be made probably before Wednesday. He expressed to his family his gratification that a peaceful solution of the differ- ences had been reached. He excused himself, however from making any statement formal in its nature regard- ing the action of the conferences until he should have been informed offictally of that action, President Roosevelt recetved official confirmation of the Associated press concerning the peace agreement at 2°°) Tuesday afterneon, ‘The official infor- mation reached him in the form of an official cipher dispatch from Porfs- mouth, It was sent at the instance of Raren Komnra, principal envoy of Japan. The telegram said that the plenipotentiar of Japan had with. drawn their m for reimbursement of war expenses and that an agreemen: had been reached as to a partition of the island of Sakhalin; that all main points had been definitely settled, and that the envovs wil now proceed with 2 discussion of details. St. Petersburg, Aug. 29.—St. Peters- burg is wild with foy. The nows just flashed from Portsmouth that the greatest of all diplomatic games has heen played and that Russia has won fills the whole city with rejoicing. The fact that Japan has yielded in its demands and that Russia has ob tained every point protested is looked upon as the greatest victory of the war. In a few hours the news will be known throughout the country. Some recret is expressed, of course that Gen. Linevitch ard Field Marshal Oyama had not met in battle before the war's knell was sounded, The Rus- sians were confident. that-had the two armies clashed a victory would have heen theirs. The comment is heard upon all sides that Japan must have neaded peace worse thin Russia to waive so many important demands. No Liquors for New State. Muskogee, I.

Taft Party Why They Should Have | Independence at Once. Une Speaker Caused Uproarous Laughter | by Comparing Filipino Dialects With Langunges Spoken in Great Britain, English, Seoteh and Lrish—Questioned Manila, Aug. 29.—The marble hall of the municipal building was crowded all day with the followers of the pre- fessional agitation for the indepand- ence of the Philippines who had been invited by Gov. Gen. Wright to air their grievances against the insular and federal government before the visiting congressmen, The meeting was called to order by Senator Scott of West Virginia who acted as chairman during the meeting. The speakers urged the immediate independence of the islands, Nothing new developed in the argu- ments, which were the same as have been put forward since the civil gov- ernment was instituted. One speaker until lately a member of the Hongkong yunta maintained that the Filipinos were better fitted for self-government than the Greeks, Bulgarians and Per- sians and would be willing to accept independence under an American pro- tectorate or a system of perpetual neu- trality arranged by the United States with the leading powers which guaran- tee non-interference on the part of the ambitious powers. The same speaker said that one reason advanced by Americans for not granting the Fili- ninos independence was their lack of a common language. He referred to their dialect comparing the Filipinos with their multitude of tribal tongues with the three languages spoken in Great Britian, English, Scotch and Trish, saying that nation met with dif fienities in the matter of language. This statement aroused uproarious laughter on the part of the congress- men. All the speakers were subjected 1o volleys of questions by Messrs. Newlands, Warren, Hepburn, Grosve- nor, Payne and Cooper, all finally ad- mitting that they had not given the subject sufficiert study to determine just how to handle independence if given to the Filipinos, Congressman Cooper of Wisconsin, in an tneerview said: “It is quite appar- ent to any one who has ‘ooked into the matter even superficially that sell government for the Filipinos at the »resent time is out of the question anc that within a very few months after the granting of independence there would be a fractional fight, similar to the Aguinaldo-Luna feud which would sive the powers an excuse to inter- vene and absorb the islands.” The ses- sion will be continued Wednesday.
