The Russian Commissioners SatI from
 New York.
 New York, Sept. 12.--The Russian commissioners. who successfully con- cluded treaty of peace with the en- voys of Japan at Portsmouth, N. H., started on their return to St. Peters, burg today. The party headed by Ser tentiary, sailed on the steamer Kaiser Wilhelm II. at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Before leaving the city M. Witte and Baron Rosen made a farewell call upon the Japanese diplomats. who expect to leave for home later in the week.
 Baron Komura was unable to see tho Russians because of his illness. but through Minister Takahira he sent them a cordial message of farewell Mir. Takahira and other members of the Japanese party entertained the Russians for a half hour.
 A big crowd had gathered at the dock at Hoboken to see M. Witte and there was much cheering and hand ciapping as he went up the plank, to which he bowed acknowledgements. He received the newspaper men cordially in his rooms on board the steamer and through Baron Rosen made stats- ment to those. whom he had met thanking them and saying that never in his life before had 1t been so forci- hly impressed upon him that the pen Is mightier than the sword" He shook hands with all of them and said good bye.
 Lynch of the United Societies of New York and forty members of Irish clubs of New York were received by M. Wittc. Each member of the Irish clubs presented to the peace envoys tiny Russiap. American and Irish flags. Major Lynch said to M. witte
 We take this opportunity of thank ing a country which has been friend of our adopted country in time of need"
 When the bugle sounded for all wis., itors to go ashore, M. witte and Baron Rosen embraced and kissed each other goodbye. As the ship drew out Into the stream the Irish delegation and others on the dock cheered Justify and M. Witte lifted his hat In response.
 Before M. witte left his hotel for with Isaac N. Seiigman and Oscar Straus Of this city and AdoIph Kraus of Chicago. Mir. Seligman said after the conferences:
 "M witte allowed us to foresee the emancipation of the Jews In Russia and their participation in the govern ment Of the empire in the same degree and proportion that other Russian sub- jects afe allowed to participate. M Witte made no pledges engaging his government; he spoke for himself as an individual, but it Is well known that while at present he is not in power he soon will be. With him. at the helm the Jews in Russia will again enjoy civic and national recngnition. We have M. Wttts's word for 1t that as far as he Himself may he able, every thing will be done to give to the Jaws of Russia their fuil constitutional rights. Discrimination prejudiciai to them, tho injustice. which he admits freely, will be ended and they will be placed on an equal footing with the rest of the Emperor's subjects.

Wild Report Hardly True.

Rome. Sept. 12-The Tribune today published a rumor from Tien Tsin to the effect that the family of Baron tentiary now in New York city) had been assassinated.
 Tn view of the fact that the recent detailed dispatches describing the dis turbances in Tokio have apparently been uncensored. 1t is not believed that the above rumor Is well founded. The fact that 1t originated in Tien Tsin would also tend to discredit the report as Tien Tsin Is not favorably located for the receipt of important news from Janan at first hand,

Not all policemen sleep on their posts of
duty The popular joke on this subject is
founded in error. A moments reflection
will show to the most untutored mind that
not all policemen sleep on duty. On the
beats of some policemen the boom of traf-
fc and the rush of travel make sleep i'm
possible.
Sometimes it is said a policeman is
asleep on his beat just because his eyes are
closed to what is going on there. But it
does not follow that because a policeman
Is not wide awake he is actually asleep.
Not often is it the pleasure of the press
to chronicle the fact that a policeman has
walked his beat with such devotion to duty
as to compel him to resign because of Bills
tiers on his feet But the wonders of the
world are no longer limited to seven. The
following news item is self-explanatery:
After two days on the Brooklyn police
force John w. Hayes, who used to drive a
cart, walked into the Hamilton avenue sta
ton yesterday afternoon. handed his shield
to Sergt Duffy, said he was done with the
police business" and went to his home,
at No. no Verona street. Asked why he
had quit after so brief an experience. Hayes
pulled a wry face and said:
My feet are chock full of blisters and I
can hardly walk"

Interest in the Railroad Work.

The contractors for the new railroad ter
minal work complain to the Commissioners
that the public interest in the operations
has become a dangerous nuisance. and they
ask for police aid to keep the people back
from the brink of excavations and the range
OF the derricks and the zone of hustle gener-
ally. This interest in the work is a good
sign. although there should of course be
some measure of precaution to prevent acct
dents. The people of the District have been
waiting for a solution of the railroad ter
minal problems for many years. They have
suffered severely in consequence of the
grade tracks and the lack of proper accom-
m1d3tions. and there is no work of record
for decades which means so much to the
community as does this enterprise 1t is
therefore by no means surprising that the
citizens take a keen personal interest in
the progress of the work. and visit 1t fire.
quietly to note the stages whereby 1t is ad-

the contractors themselves should between

danger line and prevent encroachment on
the field of the workers. Especially should
the children be prevented from playing
around the works. where they are exposed
TO perils which are avoided by Older spec
tators

The PHILADELPHIA Gas Lease.

In the face of vehement public protest,
of sound principles of municipal gov
eminent and OF a virtually assured mayors
veto. the Philadelphia city councils yester-
day passed an ordinance leasing the munic-
ipal gas works to the company now operat-
ing them for the period of seventy-five
years for total bonus of S25.000000 The
maneuyers preceding this move have occu-
pied several weeks. during which the US
ually peaceful atmosphere of Philadelphia
has been violently disturbed. When the
proposition was first preached that the
present lease expiring In 1927, be replaced
by a longer one, the citizens arose in fran
tic opposition and as result of the agfta-
ton a substitute offer was advanced by a
syndicate of business men, rendering the
city $4,000. 900 for the lease for the same
period The original proposition, however,
was raireaded through. with an almost
solid vote in its favor. while the galleries.
packed with Indignant people, howled and
cursed the members OF the councils and
uttered threats of political and even per-
sonaI vengeance for what was openly de-
nounced as a brazen steal The galleries
We're finally cleared only when the police
displayed their pistols.
1t is a question which phase of the spec
tacle thus presented is the more deplor-
able, the work Of the machine or the work
of the mob in the galleries. If what the
opponents of the gas lease assert is true,
however, the crowds OF citizens were jus
tilted in feeling outraged to perhaps a de-
gree OF violent demonstration. For viewed
from almost any standpoint as business
proposition. the seventy year lease OF

President Stands Pat.
From the New York Tribune.

FROM the New York Tribune.
The President and the Secretary of War
are the real "stand-patters," in the true
and logical sense of the term. 1t is thew
who are seeking to maintain the existing
order Of things, while 1t is their critics ana
the opponents of their policy who are try-
ing TO make changes. The President md
the Secretary recognize the perfectly we'll
known fact that-in common with other
countries, especially with Great Britain
the United States has two scales of prices
for many of Its manufactured goods, under
which system American manufac turers sell
their wares in the foreign market at a
much lower price than In the domestic
market. The question Of the propriety of
that system need not be discussed here
British manufacturers and political econo-
mfsts defend 1t as right and necessary
What the President and Secretary of War
think of 1t is not In question But
It is obvious that they think, and that
they are quite right in thinking, that so
long as that practice prevails it should be
consistently maintained and American
manufacturers should be content to sell
in foreign markets at their foreign market
prices, and should demand their domestic
prices only in the domestic market The
Panama market is a foreign market. Pan
anna Is foreign country. 1t has never
been, Is not, and probably never will be
a part of the United States. 1t Is true that
the United States has, for a certain pur-
pose. control of a small portion of it.

the municipal gas works Il wholly without
Justification.
The only excuse offered by the machine
leaders is that the city needs the money.
Certain public works are to be undertaken
which call for more funds than the city can
raise from tax revenues and bond issues.
The constitutional borrowing limit would
have to be extended In order to yield suf-
ficicnt income. The present lessee of the
gas works offered to pay $2o O00, 900 in INSTALL
ments within two and half years for a
long extension. Here, then, was money in
hand for present needs. In view of the great
value of the franchises the payment in ad-
vance at the rate of a third Of a million a
year is a cheap rental, however. The cftf-
zens contend that the bargain Is bad
one, especially in view of the offer of an
annual rental of $4,000 more than that to
be paid by the present lessee. and the vir-
;ual certainty that If the lease had been
offered in public competition the income
would be even greater.
Again, it is urged against the lease that
the city's extraordinary needs are only hall
met by this means, the requirement for pub
lie works being about S5O.OO0,OO0. The BAR
gain, therefore, is denounced as an IMPROVE
dent and prodigal waste of resources mort

Further proceedings will be observed with
interest by all students of municipal affairs.
The machine has tight grip on the city
and can pass the lease over the mayor s
veto. Legal proceedings are assured, and
In any case Philadelphia seems to be STIR
red to the depths and determination is
expressed to carry the issue to the pri-
mares and the polls. This has been threat
ened before and the machine has always
triumphed. Here. then, is good chance
for Philadelphia to demonstrate its sturdy
citizenship and its ability to protect itself
from the greed of the ringsters and the fran
chise grabbers. If it can shake them loose
now it has a chance to rehabilitate Itself.
1t it fails, with this good cause as an in
spiration. there is little hope for future i'm
provement in its political conditions.

The Sheriff and His Prisoner.

There is something admirable in the way
in which the manager of the so-called
moneyby telegraph enterprise at Kenil-
worth. Md. seeks to save the county Off
Gals trouble and annoyance. Learning by
some mysterious means that a writ had
been placed in the hands of the enterprising
sheriff of the county for early service, in
volving what is usually styled raid on
the alleged pool room, the head of the con-
Germ met the sheriff half way and made it
unnecessary for him to go clear to the
premises. This is certainly considerable and
deserves acknowledgment.
But there are some citizens who view
such proceedings with dstaste. They pre-
fer the old-fashioned conception of sher-
iff who goes after his prisoners, gets them
on their own ground takes them, If pos
sible, in the midst of their alleged illegal
enterprises and so hales them to court red
handed. Then the sheriff can himself attest
to the circumstances of their occupation.
AS far as reports have reached the District
and 1t Is not so great distance as to
initiate against accurate information-the
chief constable of Prince George county is
no. an overworked official. Assuredly, he Is
not so desperately busy that he needs to
have his time saved by his prisoners meet
ing him on the road and asking to be taken
into custody.
But perhaps the managers of the place at
kenilworth of which the citizens complain
fear that the sheriffs sensibilities may be
shocked by seeing lively game in full
blast. Or they may fear that he will suffer
from an inflamed Imagination upon noting
the crowd of anxious patrons and think
that something positively illegal is in pro-
gress.
And anyhow, it would be interesting to
know whether 1t is usual in Prince George
county to proclaim the issuance of all wrts
in season for the accused to be informed
and to take such steps as they may desire
to facilitate their own advantage or the
process .Of the law. There is just a possible
chance that, learning of the issuance of the
writ against them, the managers of the en-
tirely legitimate money telegraph Office
might have been suddenly called away on
business in a direction opposite to that
from which the hard-pressed sheriff was
approaching. And this possibility suggests,
too, that in Prince George county. at least,
the constabulary is accommodating enough
on its side to notify the accused of the line
of approach and the time of starting on an
errand of arrest.
The of good feeling in the county is
undeniably yielding some remarkable dec
onstrations of official and unofficial polite
ness.
