TREATVOF PORTSMOUTH
Japanese Magnanimity Nicho
las' Ultimatum Accepted.
The Last Engagement New Anglo
Japanese Treaty Sea Level at Pan
ama Again Considered New York
Won Team Match Red, Whjte .and
Blue Chrysanthemums,
The long and bloody war between
Japan autl Russia Is ended. Terms ot
peace were settled by Mr. WUte and
Daion Komura at the session of ths
conference Tuesday morning, and In
the afternoon preliminary arrange
n ents. for an armistice were concluded
vnd the actuul work of framing the
"Treaty of Portsmouth" Was by mutual
agreement turned over to Mr. DeMar
tens on behalf of the Russian envoys
and Henry W. Dennlson, who
for twenty-five years has acted as
the legal adviser of the Japan foreign
office. The treaty Is expected to be
completed by the end of the week.
For the sake of peace, Japan with
the magnanimity of a victor at the
last moment yielded everytnng still in
IbEue. Russia refused to budge from
the ultimatum Emperor Nicholas had
given to President Roosevelt through
Ambassador Meyer.
No Indemnity under any guise, but
an agreement to divide Sakhalin and
reimburse Japan for the maintenance
of the Russian prisoners were his last
words. They had been reiterated In
Mr. WItte's Instructions and in the
form of a written reply to the Jap
anese compromise proposal of last
Wednesday they were delivered to
Iiuron Komura.
Daron Komura gave way on all' the
d'iputed points. With the prescience
that ever has enabled the Japanese to
gauge the mental processes of their
adversaries, they had realized In ad
vance that peace could ho obtained
5n no other way. They had warned
their government. President Roose
velt had also, it Is believed, advised
Japan that It was better to meet the
Russian position than to take the re
sponsibility of continuing the war to
collect tribute. The Japanese em
peror, at too session of the cabinet
and rider statesmen, had sanctioned
the finol concession. ..
Treaty of Portsmouth tfunpeted.
The Treaty of Portsmouth Is com
pleted. It consists of a preamble and
17 articles, the substance of all which
has been previously given. But there
were still differences about the word
ing of the protocol of the last sitting;
which nust be signed before the
treaty lfm..'( can be signed.
. The Signing of the treaty is to be a
very exclusive affair. The Japanese
objected to the presence of any news
paper correspondents or photographers
and It has therefore been decided that
besides the plenipotentiaries and sec
retaries Jhere shall be present only
Assistant Secretary Pelrce represent
ing the president, Governor McLane
of New Hampshire, the mayor of
Portsmouth, Admiral Mead, Command
er of the navy yard, and the command
ers of any U. S. warships In the har
bor. (In this case only Captain Wins
low of the Mayflower).
Mikado Thanks President.
President Roosevelt Sunday received
from the Emperor ' of Japan warm
thanks for his "disinterested and unre
mitting efforts In the Interests of
pence and humanity," and an expres
sion of the Japanese emperor's grate
ful appreciation of the distinguished
part" the president has taken In the
Interest of pence in the Far East.
Discontent In Toklo.
It Is announced that Toklo Is display
ing discontent with the result of pence
conference and several cables connect
ing Jnpnn' with the continent have
been cut.
Probably the Last Engagement.
A dispatch to St Petersburg from
Dldzlapudze contains the details of
what will probably be the Inst en
gagement cf the war. This encoun
ter occurred on Aug. 29 and resulted
In an advantage to the Russians, who
took 130 prisoners. A "number of Jap
anese, were killed. T The Russian
losses were eight killed. The rem
nant, of. the Japanese retired, bearing
their wounded.
I- .
New Anglo-Japanese Treaty,
The conclusion of the new Anglo
Japanese treaty of alliance has only
now become definitely known to the
English newspapers, which are' keen
ly Interested in It and are anxiously
glzcuss' ig Its probable-contents:
An Important modification binding
either power to come to the assistance
of the other If attacked by one In
stead, as In the old' treaty, by two
powers, causes inquietude In some
quarters, where It Is thought to add
fnormously to Great Britain's respons
ibility; but on the whole complete sat
isfaction Is expressed as to the scope
of the new treaty as far as It Is at
present known.-
It Is supposed that the new treaty
establishes on unqualified defensive
alliance between Great Britain and
Japan and It is believed not unlikely
that India Is Included In the sphere of
territory over which tho treaty alms
for the preservation of status quo.
Should this prove the case. Its value
to Great Britain will be enhanced.

GAVE LIVES FOR OTHERS
Seven of Sevona's Crew Volun
teered to Remain on Ship.
Trip Ashore of Lifeboat With 11 Per
eona Wai One of Terroi' Wind Car
rled Craft Parallel With Beach,
Which Was Only Five Mile Away.
Second Boat Reached Land.
Dulutb, Sept. 5. A small boat with
Ave persons from the wrecked steamer
Sevona reached shore safely, thus ac
counting for the safety of all In the
second boat.
Bayfield, Wis., Sept 5. Eleven of
the crew of the steel steamer Sevona
were drowned by the wreck of the
steamer on Sand Island reef on Lake
Superior, late Friday night. Eleven
others were rescued, including the re
mainder of the crew and four women.
The story of the disaster Is a thrilling
tale.
Seven of the dead offered' their Jives
as a sacrifice for the rest of the 22 on
board the ill-fated ship. Of those for
whom they gave their lives four are
dead. The rest reached shore after a
night of buffeting by the waves In an
open boat, and a trip of more than 24
hours cutting a road through the wil
derness of Northern Wisconsin.
Those who gave their lives for their
shipmates were:
Captain E. S. McDonald, Northeast,
Pa.; First Mate Louis Darwin, Me
dina, O.; second mate, name unknown,
shipped at Cleveland last trip.
Wheelman, name unknown, shipped
at Cleveland on last trip.
Two watchmen, names unknown,
shipped at Cleveland on last trip.
Wheelman, name unknown, has
brother named Denny at Buffalo dry
dock, shipped at Cleveland.
Those who were probably drowned
in the effort to reach shore were:
Fireman, name unknown, shipped at
Cleveland on Aug. 23.
Van Vleek, oiler, Erie, Pa.
Oiler, name unknown, shipped at
Cleveland on last trip.
Deckhand, name unknown, from
Northeast, Pa.
The Sevona, a big 10-hatch vessel,
was bound from AHouez to Erie with
ore. Four women were on board, in
cluding the wife of the cook, C. H.
Cluky. The others were aboard as
guests of the owners, and were Mrs.
S. F. Spencer and Miss Jones of Erie,
and Mrs. William Phillips of Buffalo.
Friday the steamer ran Into the teeth
of the northwester, which is still blow
ing a terrific gale. Captain McDonald
tried to make headway against the
heavy sea, but the storm became too
heavy and he turned and ran for
shelter.
Volunteered to Stay on Ship,
Sand Island Is in the center of a
patch of dangerous reefs. A mile and
a half east of the light on the Island is
the Sand Island reef. The storm was
so severe that the lookout did not see
the Raspberry Island light. When
the Sand Island lighthouse was sighted,
it WB3 too late. Captain McDonald
tried to put about but the storm swept
his vessel on the reefs with a fury not
to be resisted. A great hole was torn
in the bow and In half an hour the
pounding of the waves had hammered
the stout ship In two. When the shock
came the captain found that there
was no chance for all to try and reach
shore and called for volunteers to stay
on the ship. More than half the crew
volunteered to stay aboard; the rest
tried to reach shore' and call for help
for those who were to remain on the
wreck. ' Finally the captain, the two
mates and four others were selected
to risk their lives for the safety of the
rest.
Engineer Phillips was one of the
volunteers but Captain McDonald re
fused to allow him to remain on board,
ordering him to take command of the
ship's boat which was to take the wo
men ashore. With Phillips went Adam
Flden, Nicholas FIden, C. H. GIticky,
two firemen and one deckhand, all of
Buffalo.
The storm had battered the third
boat to pieces, but a small boat large
enough to carry four took another
party. The boat with the women tried
to make Sand island but was swept
past. Nothing could be done except
to keep the craft afloat. When the
boats left the Sevona, the seven left
board were huddled in the wheel
bouse waiting for the rescue that was
to come too late.
Trip Ashore of the Lifeboat.
The trip ashore of the lifeboat was
one of terror. All night the men
fought with the elements In the effort I
to reach shore, which was only Ave
miles away, but the wind was carrying
the craft parallel with the beach and
Vt was daylight before the boat was
washed up high on shore. So wearied
were the men from their exertlonti
that they were nearly swept back Into
the deep water by the surf.
During the night while the men
wore trying to reach shore the women
were alternately despairing and hope
ful. At . times they would pray for
their lives, the men Joining, and at
other times they would help tho sail
ors balling the small craft of the spray
which came aboard constantly.
Saturday morning the storm-tospe-1
party was washed ashore at Llttlo
Sandy bay. Here they found a home- 1
steader, who led them to two farms
two mllee in the Interior. The men
were so exhausted they could hardly
walk.
While the rest of the party was
cared for at the farmhouse the engi
neer and one of the furmers, Mr. Thlh
adeauu, sot out with a team for Day-
field. Most of the way It was oeces
sary literally to cut a road througl
the woods. It took until 4 o'clock li
the afternoon to reach Bayfield, 2(
miles across the peninsula aa the crow
flies.
Upon reaching Bayfield the fishing
tug Harrow of the Booth line startec
out for the scene of the wreck with s
party of 15 men, headed by Englneei
Phlllipl. The trip took two hours li
the teeth of the northeaster.
When the tug reached the scene ol
the wreck of the Sevona only a fevt
spars and the after 100 feet of the
craft were left. There was no trace
of the captain and his party.
The Sevona was a steel freight
steamer of 2.302 tons, built in 1890.
