mlKADO TO THE PLENIPOTENTlARIES.
Instructs Them to Make Every Effort to
Secure Peace.

Toxic (By Cable) The Emperor de-
livered an address to the peace plenipo-
tentiaries, as follows:
"The President of the United States,
being grieved to find that the war be-
tween Japan and Russia had not been
brought to a close after the lapse OF
more than a year, and being impressed
with the urgent need, in the interest Of
peace and humanity, OF terminating the
conflict, has suggested that the two gov
ernments appoint plenipotentiaries and
cause them to meet together to negotiate
peace.
we were compelled, contrary to our
expectations, to resort to arms, despite
our constant abiding wish for peace, and
if, in consequence Of the conciliatory spr-
It OF our opponents, hostilities could be
brought to an end, nothing would be
more satisfactory than such consumma-
iion.
Accordingly, we at once accept the
suggestion of the President of the United
States, and we hereby charge you with
the mission OF negotiating and conclud-
ing peace. You should devote yourselves
with all OF your power to discharge your
mission and make every effort to secure
the re-establshment of peace on dura-
Bile basis"

MONITOR ON THE WATCH.
Slgus Of Rebellion Among the Russians at
Manila.

Manila (By Cable).-A half-formet
plot has been discovered to kill the Off
GERS of the cruiser Aurora, one OF the
Russian ships interned here. Rear Ad-
miral Reiter has ordered the Monadnock
to anchor close to the Aurora and will
remove the merchant shipping from the
neighborhood of the Russian ships.
The Russian officers believe they know
who the ringleaders are, but will await
developments before imprisoning them.
The threatened mutiny undoubtedly
would have been fruitless, because the
breech locks of the guns had been re-
moved. However, some ammunition still
remains on board, but it is locked up and
sealed Possibly Admiral Reiter will
place American guards on board the
Russian ships, but this is unlikely unless
the disaffection should spread.

JAPAN'S FLAG IN RUSSIA
Control Of Sakhalin is a Powerful
Lever.
A GREAT MOVE BY THE JAPANESE.
Win Demand cessiou Of hlsnd and Heavy In
demniiy..Ihe Russian Peace Advocates Had
Been Suggesting That Voluntary Cession Of
the Island ght BE an Offset With Port
Arthur and the Chinese Railway.

St. Petersburg (By Cable).-With the
Japanese flag hoisted for the first time
on Russian soil, after IS months OF
war, the importance Of the landing on
the Island of Sakhalin is generally adj
nitted both in newspaper comment and
IN government circles Complete or
ganzation OF the island is regarded as
a foregone conclusion
The Novoe Vremya voices the gen
eral sentiment in holding that control OF
Sakhalin puts a powerful lever in the
possession of Japanese diplomacy, which
finally has something tangible in its hands
to throw upon the scales with the sword
in the coming conference.
There is a divergency of opinion with
regard to the effect il will have upon
the negotiations at Washington, some OF
the irreconcilables declaring that it
makes peace at the present juncture
more impossible than before, as Japan
will be able to demand the cession Of
the island and a heavy indemnity as
well, at which terms of peace would be
too costly, but the more prevalent view
is that Japan has now in her hands
enough trumps to take the game.
The attacks on the island certainly
dissipates one of the hopes of the peace
advocates who have been suggesting that
its voluntary cession might be an offset
with Port Arthur and the Chinese Rail
road against the payment Of large
part of all OF a monetary indemnity.
No further report Of the landing oper-
ations has been received.
NJ. Muravieff, the Russian ambassa-
dor at Rome and one OF the peace plen-
ipotentiaries, has arrived in ST. Peters
burg and called upon Foreign Minister
Lamsdorff. His sailing arrangements
have not been perfected, as they are de-
pendent upon the date of his audience
with the Emperor, which will probably
take place Tuesday. His suite has been
completed by the selection Of two secre-
taries from the foreign office
The Novoe Vremya joins in the press
chorus against NJ. Muravieff, saying it is
hard to tell how good a diplomat he will
prove, as he certainly was not a success
at The Hague. The paper says that
Baron Rosen, the other plenipotentiary,
on the contrary, is a skillful diplomatist,
and has been socially successful,

TWENTY.SIx ARE DEAD
And Fifty Injured In Revised List Of Tornado
Victims.

Fort Worth, Texas (SpecialD Tween
ty-six persons are known to have been
killed and so injured by the tornado
which swept over a portion of Montague
county, in the northern part OF the State.
The property loss will probably aggre-
gate $2ooooo
The tornado made its appearance near
Nocona at $50 o'clock in the afternoon
as cone-shaped, greenish cloud. The
force of the wind swept everything in its
path. Small houses were lifted from
their foundations and carried many
yards. Other structures were blown
down, and in many instances their oecu-
pants were caught in the crashing tim
bers. The storm traversed an area about
three miles wide and IS in length. Crops
were beaten to the ground and live stock
suffered severely, hundreds of cattle be-
ing killed or manned.
The Methodist and Baptist churches
at Belcher were blown down. but so far
as can be learned no loss OF life occurred
there. Long Branch schoolhouse, four
miles west of Montague, was destroyed,
and the Dixie schoolhouse, six miles
SOUTH was demolished. The students in
both these schools escaped serious in
jury
Several Of the most valuable farms in
upper Texas were directly in the path Of
the storm, and the death list is largely
made up of country people. Nocona was
the only town that suffered materially,
the tornado claiming several victims
there and in its immediate vicinity
Many houses were damaged in Mon
tague, and the loss there will be con-
siderable. The county courthouse lost
its roof and three churches were partial
ly destroyed.
The tornado travelled in a southeast
erly direction and spent its force in about
half an hour.

Japan Wants China to Keep Out Of II.

Washington, D. c. (SpeciaD .--China's 5
request to be represented in the Wash
ington conference on the ground that
she is vitality interested in its proceed
ings has been received by the President
and informally transmitted to the bel
ligerents Whether the President has
received the formal replies cannot be
learned, but it can be stated that, while
Russia is inclined to favor the sugges-
ton, Japan will not consent to it.
Japan has already made public her as
surances that Manchuria is to be return
ed to China. That is one of the prin-
ciples for which she says she has been
fighting.
Japan regards herself as fully capable
OF executing this promise without the as
sistance OF China, and in view of China's
inability before the war to cope with Rus
sia in Manchuria, the Japanese govern
ment is unable TO see what possible serv-
ice Chinese representative would be in
the Washington conference.

Russian Refugees Riot.

Seattle, Wash (Special). - Russian
refugees being taken from Shanghai to
Odessa on the steamship Garonne be-
came so riotous between the China port
and Singapore that Capt Robert Laws
master OF the ship, was forced to place
the ringleaders in irons Upon arriving
at Singapore Captain Laws appealed tc
the Russian consul TO have the more
turbulent OF his passengers taken from
the ship.
His request was refused, and he
promptly purchased enough rifles anC
ammunition to arm his crew. Then he
clapped more of the disturbers in irons
and, subdung the rest by a show OF
arms, continued OH his voyage.
Reaching Odessa, the Garonne found
the town in a state of siege, and accord
ingly went to Ineodosia, where she ar
rived in safety according to dispatch
from Captain Laws to Frank Water

Mr.. ELIHU ROOT ACCEPTS
Formal Statement Of His Succession to
John Hay.
WILL GIVE UP HIS LAW PRACTICE.
President Roosevelt is Much dratlfied at Mr..
Roots Acceptance, and Is Deeply Sensible
Of the Personal Sacrifices Made by Mr..
Root ln Again Taking up the Burdens and
Duties Of a Member Of the Cabinet

Oyster Bay, L. l. (Special) Official
announcement was made here that Elihu
Root has been appointed Secretary of
State.
The announcement was made on the
authority of President Roosevelt in the
following statement given out by Sec
retary Loeb
"Elihu Root has accepted the tender
by the President of the Secretaryship of
State. He will take the oath of Office
in couple Of weeks, but it will neces-
sarily be some little time before he
closes up his business affairs. He will
not go to Washington permanently un-
til some time in September"
President Roosevelt is much gratihed
at Mt Roots acceptance and is deeply
sensible Of the personal sacrifice made
by Mr.. Root in again taking up the bur
dens and duties Of member OF the Cab
met
The decision OF Mr. Root was reached
finally on the Presidents special train
during the return of the Presidential
party from Cleveland, o. For personal
reasons entertained both by the Presi-
dent and Mr.. Root, it was deemed de-
srable not TO announce the decision pub
licly until the President had returned to
Sycamore Hill 1t is the intention Of
Mr. Root to assume the duties of Secre-
tary OF State practically at once, al
though it will be perhaps two weeks
before he formally will take the oath
OF office. His professional interests are
so large that he will have to devote
considerable time to a satisfactory ar
rangement of them before he goes to
Washington to take permanent charge Of
the State Department
When he takes active charge of the de-
partment he will give up entirely his law
practice.
1t is not unlikely that the administra
ton of affairs connected with the con-
struction OF the Panama Canal may be
transferred from the War to the State
Department. Since Elihu Root indi
Gated his acceptance of the Presidents
tender of the Secretaryship of State the
President has had the matter OF the
transfer under consideration. 1t is
known that Secretary Taft would be
quite willing to be relieved of the re-
sponsibility attendant upon the direc-
ton. of the canal affairs.
The appointment OF Judge Magoon to
be Minister of the United States to
Panama in connection with his office
as Governor of the American Zone on
the lsthmus, naturally suggests the de-
STABILITY of placing both offices under
the direction of the Secretary of State,
and following this movement to its logi-
cal conclusion, the Secretary of State
would be the natural director of the af-
fairs Of the canal Mr. Root is deeply
interested in the canal work and already
has devoted considerable thought TO it,
Washington (SpeciaD .-Elihu Roots
commission as Secretary of State has
been prepared at the State Department
and forwarded to Oyster Bay for the
