Japan Ratifies Peace Treaty.

Tokio, Oct. 5. —The peace treaty passed the privy council. The meeting lasted six hours, and the people knew something of more than ordinary importance was being discussed. They believed the treaty was under consideration, and announcement of its acceptance was made at the adjournment in the afternoon. The approval of the privy eouneil, it is believed, means that the treaty will be ratified immediately. An order abrogating martial law at Sasebo, Nagasaki and Hakodate was passed by the privy council.
