The Last Engagement New Anglo Japanese Treaty Sea Level at Pan ama Again Considered New York Won Team Match Red, White .and Blue Chrysanthemums. The long and bloody war between Japan and Russia is ended. Terms ot peace were settled by Mr. Wltte and Baron Komura at the session of tus conference Tuesday morning, and In the afternoon preliminary . arrange n ents. for an armistice were concluded and the actual 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 fur twenty-five years has acted as the legal adviser of the Japan foreign omce. 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 everything still in ltsue. 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 Russlun prisoners were his last words. They had been reiterated In Mr. Wltte's Instructions and In the form of a written reply to the Jap anese compromise proposal of last Wednesday they were delivered to Huron Komura. Baron Komura gave way on all' the d'tputed points. With the prescience that ever has enabled the Japanese to gauge the mental processes of their adversaries, they bad realized In ad vance that peace could bo obtained !n 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 tho session of the cabinet and elder statesmen, had sanctioned the final concession. Treaty of Portsmouth Completed. 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 must be signed before the treaty ftself 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 ense 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 peace 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 peace In the Far East. Discontent In Toklo. It Is announced that Toklo Is display ing discontent with the result of peace ponference and several cables connect ing Japan' with, the continent have, been cut Probably the Last Engagement. A dji?patch to St Petersburg from Dldzlapudze contains the details of what will probably be the last en gagement of 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. The Russian losses were eight, killed. The rem nant, of. the Japanese retired, bearing their wounded. 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 fiizcuss'-ig Its probable-contents.1 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 ifnormously 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 an unqualified ' defensive alliance between Great Britain and Japan and It Is believed not unlikely that India Is included In tho 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. Sea Level or Locks at Panama?

A small boat with five 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 la a thrilling tale. Seven of the dead offered' their lives 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.

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 was 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 Flden, C. H. Glucky, two firemen and one de.ckhand, 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 house waiting for the rescue that was to eome too late. Trip Ashore of the Lifeboat. The trip ashore of the lifeboat was one ot terror. All night the men fought with the elements In the effort to reach shore, which was only five miles away, but the wind was carrying the craft parallel with the beach and W. was daylight before the boat was washed up high on shore. So wearied were the men from their exertions that they were nearly swept back Into the deep water by tho surf. During the night whllo the men were 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 the sail ors bntllng the small craft of tho spray which came aboard constantly. Saturday morning the Htorm-tospe.1 party was washed ashore at Llttlo Sandy bay. Here they found a home Bteader, who led them to two farms two mile n 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 farmers, Mr. Thlb adeauu, set out with a team for Bay field. Most of the way It was oeces tary literally to cut a road througt the woods. It took until 4 o'clock 1c the afternoon to reach Bayfield, 2 miles across the peninsula as the crow files. Upon reaching Bayfield the fishing tug Harrow of the Booth line started out for the scene of the wreck with party of 15 men, headed by Englneei Phlllipl. The trip took two hours li the teeth of the northeaster. When the tug reached the Bcene ol the wreck of the Sevona only a fen 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 2.3C2 tons, built in 1890. PANIC ON A LAUNCH. Number of Passengers Jumped Over boardFour Were Drowned.
