resumed at the state ilt-pai (.ment for
a short time today while Ui ion ii.»-
sen, the Russian amki&sudor. and M.
Takahira, the Japanese minister »u
the form of ratification of their re
spective countries.
The call was made by appointment
at the request of M. Takahita, who d.-.
6ired to see the Russiau form of rat
lfication.
Accordingly, Secretary Root sent for
Mr. Smith, caief of the diplomatic on
reau of the state department, who
brought to the diplomatic room a copy
of a Russian extradition treaty which
gave Mr. Takahira the information ho
desired.
The envoys remained for a few min
utes in conversation with Secretary
Root, and then left the department
without further exchanges. They
bowed pleasantly as they parted out
side the diplomatic room.
It would seem certain from this that
ratification of the peace treaty are to
bo exchanged at Washington.
As soou as the date for the exchange
of these ratifications has been agreed
upon, special plenary powers will be
cabled to Baron Rosen and M. Taka
hira by their respective emperors.
The exact form which the powers
shall take was discussed at today's
conference, both envoys being anxious
that there should be no difficulty on
that point.
The form of the powers will neces
sarily be identical.
