Oyster Bay, N. Y, Special.-History
was made Saturday in Oyster Bay.
Russians and Japanese claspel hands
and greeted one another with all out
ward evidence Of cordially, and for
the first time since nations began to
have relations one with onother, an
Executive of great power received the
ENJOYS of two belligercnt countries
On a mission of peace. President
Roosevelt,on ehalf Of the United
States and their people, extended for
NAL greeting to the representatives Of
Russia and Japan, introduced the
plenipotentiaries to one another, and
entertained them at an elaborate
luncheon, at which Russian and Jap.
anese fraternized with ono another as
comrades rather than enemies.
PRESIDENTS NOTABLE TOAST.
During the luncheon President
Roosevelt proposed notable toast, in
which he expressed the earnest hope
and prayer, in the interest net only Of
these two great powers, but Of all civ
ilized mankind, that a just and last
ing peace may speedily be concluded
between them"
The occasion was impressive 1t was
attended not by pomp and ceremony,
but by simplic-ty and rrankness
characteristic of the President and Of
the people Of America.
Due honor was paid the distinguish
ed guests OF the President and of the
country, and they were received with
all the dignity to which their exalted
rank entitled them.
The day was ideal. After the sun
--i.4 burned away the haze of early

Baron Rosen,. the Russian ambassa-
dor, and Mr.. Takahira, the japanese
minister, the official program for the
formal presentation to the President
OF the Russian and Japanese plenipo-
tentiaries to the washington confer

a subject of much study on the part
of the President and Mr.. Pierce. Many
of the details regarding the journey
to Oyster Bay and thence to Ports
mouth already have, been published.
DESTROYS of being strictly neutral IN
all the arrangements for the presenta.
tion, it was decided at the outset by
the Washington government that the
President would recognize no prece-
dence based on success in the present
war. Because Baron Komura was pre-
sented at Sycamore Hill almost
week before Mr.. Witte arrived in this
country, it was decided that ior TINS
reason Baron Komura must take prece-
dence over Mr.. Witte. This, however,
will be recognized only in the half
hours difference in the time CT the
presentation OF the two missions.

New Cotton Mill Proposition Discuss
ed-Electric Power May Be Secured
To Advertise the City,

Greenwood, Spccial.-An entllusiass-
tic mass meeting of the citizens OF
Greenwood was held here last week
to consider a plan to secure new en-
tc rises for the city. The gathering
Wa most representative one, and
it was held in the parlors of the
Greenwood club. The matters dis
cussed were more particularly In re-
gard to negotiatinns with prominent
real estate firm Of Philadelphia, who
wrote the chamber Of commerce in
regard to the establishing of new
cotton mill in this city. The parties
inquiring want to know what induce
ments Greenwood offers for such en-
terprises, and the people Of the city
with their usual energy arc taking ac--
tive steps towards securing it if it is
to be gotten.
Tie city offers many advantages
for such enterprises, and it is not
unlikely that if a new mill is placed
anywhere in this section it will be- at
Greenwood.

tile farmers and others present. He
felt very much like General Grant,
who was told by the little boy that he
could not go.to Richmond, because Lee
was there; he could not go to Peters
burg because A. p. Hill was there; he
could not go to heaven because Jack
son was there. There was only one
other place for Grant to go-thcre
were no Confederates there.
The first Of the regular addresses
was made by Col. F,.H. Weston, Sec
retary Of the South Carolia Cotton
Growers Association. whose subject
was "Cotton Warehouses. I"
DR.. w. J. Spilman followed Mr..
Weston. The secret Of the power Of
this man over his audience is the fact
that he speaks out from his heart that
which he feels and knows. It is a
talk Of successful specialist to peo-
pie whom he would have try new
ways to broaden the sphere and scope
Of their work.
Mr.. Smith; who was then presented
by Governor Hayward, began one of
Tie most remarkable speeches in the
history of this movement, although he
showed the evidence Of fatigue from
speaking in many places lately. He
began by referring to the fact that al
though "differsiication" is being
preached by the advocates of that
creed, yet they do not tell us how to
market the stuff after it is produced.
He referred Dr. Spillman to the condi-
tion of affairs at Chadboune, N. c.,
where the farmers had diversified and
had prospered until this year when
they had produced a little toe much
and at the critical time there was no
transportation facilities. Then the
farmers Of Chadbourne dumped into
the streams nearby thousands of dol
lars worth of strawberries because
they could OF get them to market.
From this he made the deduction that
while it is a good thing to diversity
yet it is well to restrict the divers;fi-
cation to the mere raising of enough
to supply the needs of ones own fam
lily. Put the rest into cotton judici-
ously.
In regard to the hardness with
which this movement has been coming
on, he said that right after the war
there was no money in the south. The
northern banker loaned to,-the south
ern banker, the southern banker to
the merchant, the merchant to the
landlord aud the landlord to the ten
ants. That was the chain which pull
I'd the cotton out Of the fluows and
put it in the warehouses of the bank
ers OF the north. Warehouses for the
purpose of aiding the farmers in hold
ing their cotton would then have been
Of no use for the cotton already be-
longed t the northern banker who
pulled the cotton in.
When he took up this fight with the
100000 bale crop and with sur
plus Of 100000 bales, it did look like
a FOOLS errand. Men walked around
with supercilious air and said he
was too visionary. They dealt in fu-
lures expecting the price to so down,
and sthank God," said he, there
were enough farmers to stand loyal
and faithful to make that man out a
fool and he caught the devil and /
am glad of it. He also paid his re-
spects to the farmer who pretended TO
be allied with his ncighbors and then
began to sci ont when the price began
to go up This man he-.denounced a
fool and a traitor to the cause.

side. Neither by word nor by action
did they indicate, even by direction,
anything but the utmost cordiality.
Careful to avoid any strain, Prcsi.

after the introductions, suggested that
the party proceed to the main saloon,
where luncheon was in waiting. The
PRESIDENT himself lev the party, follow.
ed in order by Mr.. Witte, Baron Komu-
ra, Ambassador Rosen and Minister
Takahira. Even the formation of this
little procession involved Il delicate
diplomatic problem, but it was agreed
that the President solved it admirably.
FOES LIKE FRIENDS.
Although the luncheon was served
with the other guests standing the
President escorted the four cnvoys to
chairs in one corner of the saloon, and
in half minute, through tact and del
icacy, the whole party was engaged in
animated conversation over their
dishes. The conversation was general
ly in French, as Mr.. Witte speaks very
little English. Baron Rosen and Baron
Komura chatted as if they had been
lifelong friends and Minister Taxa
hira, at one time particularly comnlu-
NEGATIVE, entered into the conversation
with 'zest and interest.
Before the luncheon had proceeded
far President Roosevelt rose from his
chair and turning to the assemblage,
raised his hand for silence. In an in
slant there was a hush. BOWing TO the
ENJOYS, President Roosevelt said:
ENJOYS APPROVE TOAST. :.
Gentlemen: propose toast to
which there will be no answer and to
which have the honor TO ask YOU to
drink in silence, standing. drink to
the welfare and prosperity of the SOW
ereigns and the people of the two
great nations whose representatives
is my most earnest hope and prayer,
in the interest OF not only these two
great powers, but of all civilized man
kind, that just and lasting peace
may speedily be concluded between
them"
The toast was drunk, as the presl-
dent requested, in profound silence;
but in the hum of conversation which
followed little was heard but enthusl-
astic comment upon the character OF
the Presidents expression. Mr.. Witte
and Baron. Komura both cordially
thanked him.
