Mr. Witie. without a word, reads vd across the table and grapsed Baron Komura's hand. His conferees followed and the Russian and Japanese j (iclcuatcs remained for a moment in bilcncc, their right hands tightly clasp fl across the conference table. The war was over Russia and Japan were cm e nu :e friends. This simple ceremony rang through Sfi.i dvpy impressed the attaches and sectaries of the two missions, who, with the invited witnesses, had formed a large circle around the delegates sit ting at the table. Baron de Rosen was the first to break the silence. Rising from his seat, the ambassador, looking at Baron Komura and Mr. Takahira straight in the eye, said a few words which one had only to hear to know that they came from his heart. He began by saying that he wished, on behalf of Mr. Witte, Rus sia's first plenipotentiary, and in his own name, to say a few words. ROSEN'S EARNEST WORDS. "We have just signed," continued the ambassador, "an act which will have forever a place in the annals of his tory. As negotiators on behalf of the empire of Russia, as well as the empire of Japan, we may with tranquil con science say that we have done all that was ia our power in order to bring about the peace for which the whole civilized world was longing. We earn estly hope that friendly relations be tween the two empires will henceforth be firmly established and we trust that his excellency, Baron Komura, as Min ister of Foreign Affairs, and one of the leading statesmen of his country, will apply to the strengthening of these re lations, the wide experience and wise statesmanship he so conspicuously dis played during these negotiations, which have now been so auspiciously con cluded." BARON KOMURA'S RESPONSE. Baron Komura replied that he shared entirely the views of Baron de Rosen. The Treaty of Portsmouth which they had just signed, he said, was in the interest of humanity and civilization and he was happy to believe that it would bring about a firm, lasting peace between the two neighboring empires. He begged to assure the Russian pleni potentiaries that it would be his duty as well as his pleasure to do everything In his power to make the treaty In fact tat it professes to be in words a treaty of peace and amity.

Scores of people in the town of Fair chance, within half a mile of the pow der mills, were more or less painfully injured. The shock of the explosion was dis tinctly felt in Connelsville, 20 miles away, building being rocked on their foundations. At Uniontown hundreds of panes of glass were broken. In the town of Fairchance there is scarcely a house that did not suffer damage. The sides were battered as though axes had been used. Haystacks were toppled over in the fields and live stock were stunned. The rails of the Baltimore & Ohio Railway and the West Pennsyll vania Traction Railway Company were rooted from the road bed and traffic was delayed from four to six hours, transfers being made over the Pennsylvania- Thain No. 52 on the Balti more and Ohio had a narrow escape from annihilation. It had just passed the Rand Mills when the explosion oc coaches were shattered and passengers coaches were shattered in passengers thrown into a panic Had the train been a few seconnds late it would have been blown up, as the mills were in a few rods off the track. A street car on the West Pennsylvania road had also passed just a few seconds before the explosion and was far away enough to escape damage, though it was derailed. Notchez Has Two New Cases.

Not a Case of Craft But One of Par lialiiy and FavorUisQ PARTISANSHIP, NOT C0RRLTII0N Reason For the Summary Dismissal cf Public Printer Palmer is Given by President Roosevelt. Oyster Bay. L. I.. Special.--President Roosevelt has made public the report of the Keep commission on its recent investigation of affairs in the Govern ment Printing OSice at Washington. The inquiry was made by special di rection of the President on account of a protest which he had received from a protest which he had received from of ficials of the Mergenthaler Typesetting Machine Company against the award of a contract by Public Printer Frank W. Palmer to the Lanston Monotype Com pany for 72 machines of its make. The President decided, after an ex amination of the Keep report, that the contract for the Lanston machines should stand. The Keep commission reported that if the contract could be set aside, "such a course would be ad visable," although the commission states expressly that "no corrupt con sideration, payment or promise passed from the Lanston Monotype Company to the public printer or to any person in the government service." It was developed by the investiga tion, however, that two Important as sistants of the public printed were In directly interested in the Laston Com pany, "their wives being stockholders therein." The commission shows that a fair and impartial test of the Lanston and Mergenthaler machines was not made, and reports that the purchase of so large a number of Lanston machines was "improvident" and Indicated "great partiality and bias on the part of the public printer." The commission re gards the purchase as "maladministra tion.". The text of the President's mem orandum upon the report follows: "Oyster Bay, Sept. 9, 1903. "The conclusion of the committee are hereby approved, save the latter part of conclusion first. It does not appear that there is any question as to the validity of the contract in question. If it had not been for the conduct of the Mergenthaler Company in preferring the charge discussed by the committee in conclusion two, that of corruption, I should agree with the committee that it would be desirable to set aside the contract, if such course were legal. But second only to corruption in a public office in point of inquiry, comes making a baseless charge of corruption, and this is what the committee finds the Marganthaler Company has done in this case, its comments being in part: " 'In the light of the failure of the company to produce evidence of such corruption, it must be held that the charge was made recklessly and the Mergenthaler Company should be se verely condemned for including such a charge in a formal communication to the president of the United States made as a basis for official action on his part. It is fair also to the Lanston Monetype Company to say that no evi dence was produced by the Mergen thaler Company, nor was any obtained by the committee in the course of its hearing, tending to show any promise, payment or consideration of any kind whatsoever made by the Lanston Com pany, or any of its officers or agents, to any person In the government ser vice.' "Had not this charge of corruption been made I should have entirely agreed with the conclusion of the com mittee that if it were possible (which it is not) it would be desirable to can cel the contract in question. "Public Printer Palmer has been re moved from office. The cases of the subordinates alluded to in the report must be taken up in connection with the discipline and re-organization of the bureau when Mr. Palmer's suc cess or assumes office. "THEODRORE ROOSEVELT. Referring to the allegation that 03 car J. Ricketts was the candidate of the Merganthaler Company for Public Printer, the report says: "Questions were asked of the Public Printer, Mr. Dove and General Michner, as to what grounds they had for thinking that the Mergenthaler Company was be hind Mr. Ricketts. The seasons given were of an unsubstantial character and it is only just to Mr. Ricketts to say that there is not in the evidence taken before this committee anything to show an illegitimate connection between Mr. Rockets and the Mergenthaler Com pany." Gomez on Parade. Santiago de Cuba. By Cable. General Joseph Miguel Gomez, Governor of Santa Clara province and National Lib eral candidate for Presidency, and an escort of a thousand horsemen entered the city Saturday morning and par raded. The Governor of this province and the maynr of the city, anticipat ing disorder, made elaborate police ar rangements, but these were found to be unnecessary as there were no start ing incidents. Governor Gomez was given a bliiliant reception at the San Carlos Club this afternoon and address ed a meeting at a theatre at night. Private Car Line Bates. Washington, Special.
