McNairy ar rived home on the Canopio today. "The kaiser," said Mr. McNairy, "received the. delegation of American congressmen and talked with the great est freedom. ' He began nis remarks with a very complimentary reference to President Roosevelt, saying he was the only man in the world who could have brought Japan" and Russia to consider terms of neace. He said he had assured the Russian emperor that the motive ani mating President Roosevelt was disin terested and sincere and that the czar might rest confident that anything the president proposes could be acted upon in srood faith." "And- just what did he say about the 'yellow peril? Did he say, as re ported, that it was now to the inter est of the United States and Europe to unite for self-protection against Ja pan?" "That is just what he sa id, and he elaborated the subject. He said it ought now to be apparent to everybody, and this, he said, had been his own posi tion before and during the war, that with the triumph of Japan that nation would enter upon a period of aggres sive competition with western na tions for the markets of the world.

The extreme-penalty which the judge might have imposed was 25 years. When Carlton was brought into court he looked calm and composed. John S.
