i TREATY NOW COMPLETE The Evacuation of Manchuria Causes Discussion. JAPANESE TAKING NO CHANCES. They Insist Thal AU tba Russian Forces Along the Line of the Eastern Chinese Railroad Thal Remains la Russia's Possession Shall Be Required te Leave Manchuria at the Earliest Practical Time. Portsmouth, N. H.

After two long sessions, the second lasting until late at night, the treaty of peace between Russia and Japan was completed in rough form. The work of engrossing on parchment will be entrusted to ex? pert penmen from the Department of State in Washington, The air had been full of rumors all day of differences between the envoys over thc articles relating to the division of Sakhalin Island and the evacuation of Manchuria. But those who are in? timately concerned in the conferences insisted that there was no danger that the negotiations would fail. While the completed treaty will be cabled to St. Petersburg and Tokio, the reports of both nations indicate that there is no occasion to wait until formal approval comes from thc Czar and the Mikado before the plenipotentiaries may affix their signatures.

The Japanese admit that they have had thc Mikado's approval of the agreement reached on last Tuesday, but painly intimate that thas is not necessary to permit Baron Komura and Mr. Taka hira becoming signatories of the conven? tion. Mr. Takahira, for Japan, and Mr. Martens and Mr.

Plancon, for Russia, declared that there was no danger of any hitch. The points of difference regarding Sakhalin Island were harmonized. The Russian envoys having agreed that the northern part of the island, which Rus? sia will retain, should not be fortified, this having been insisted upon by the Japanese who were required by the terms of thc agreement to erect no guns on the southern part of the island, the only remaining feature of the Sak? halin article relating to the lights of Russian property holders and residents in the portion of the island which will be? come Japan's, were quickly adjusted. The provision forbidding the Japanese to erect fortifications overlooking La Perouse Straits is very explicit and will make it impossible for Sakhalin to be used as a war base for a Japanese fleet or for thc matter of that, for a Russian fleet. the agreement reached the troops of both beligerents are to retire from their present position in Man? churia immediately upon the proclama? tion of the peace treaty, the Russian to Harbin and the Japanese to Mukden.

Sub? sequently the complete withdrawal from Chinese territory of the troops of both armies will be carried out in accordance with provisions set forth in the treaty. Upon the insistence of Japan, all Rus? sian forces along the line of that part of thc Eastern Chinese Railroad which will remain in Russia's possession will be required to leave Manchuria at the earliest practicable moment. The treaty as agreed upon will provide the exact number of railway guards which both Russia and Japan may retain for the purpose of protecting their rolling stock and trackage in Manchuria.
