Tho North German Lloyd steamship

OF her wireless buzzing just after she got
outside the Hook to let the world sfoat
coming from the shore OF Europe know that
peace had been established between Russia
and Japan. The electrical offshoots Of the
whirling wheel extended 200 miles or more
on every side. The first big liner that
caught tho peace message was tho Cunar-
der Lucania, which arrived ON Friday night
from Liverpool and Queenstown; but. with
her powerful receiver taking In half tho
width OF the Atlantic the Lucania already
knew the news from the American shore.

which arrived yesterday from HaWo.
got within reach Of the peace message
and absorbed 1t with great enthusiasm.
La Lorraine's wireless could not get hold
Of far away Nantucket, which also was
sending out the message. The impression
aboard La Lorraine was that peace was far
away. Passengers who had invested IN
Russian bonds were gloomy, as the last
news they had read before leaving Havre
was that there was small chance OF an
agreement between the peace ENJOYS.
The Kronprinz's news set the pessimistio
investors wild with delight. Everybody
else. French, English, American or what not,

The American liner New York, from
Southampton and Cherbourg, did not get

noon that peace had been declared. She
received then q wireless from Nantucket,
which wound up thus:

President 1ns Not Heard From Japan
4 Since Peace was Arranged.
|, OYSTER BAY, Sept. 2.-No message, it
was said at the executive Offices to-day,
had come from the Mikado to the President
since the announcement from Portsmouth
that the ENJOYS had reached an agree
ment. No reasons are given here. Reports
are current that the cable service is bad
on account OF typhoon raging in the
Pacific, but it is believed here that the
typhoon is not the sole reason for the Mika-
dos silence. The Mikado, it is believed,
is waiting to see definitely what the atti-
tude of his people is before he commits
himself in any message to the President.
The President himself has naturally
made no statement on the subject, but 1t Is
pretty well known that he thinks very high
, ly of Japan's magnanimity in agreeing to
waive indemnity in the interests OF peace.

CABLE TO JAPAN CRIPPLED.

! Commercial Company Thinks That Storm
! Put the Nagasaki Line Out
! There was a disposition on the part OF
some folks yesterday to make q mystery
(. of the difficulty in getting cable messages
from and. 70 Japan. The superintendent
sof the Commercial Cable Company said
THAT anybody could draw his own differences
from the information his company had
I on the subject. He was unwilling to make
lany oonje6t,ires, but he strongly intimated
that thu alleged Isolation" Of Japan was
due to a typhoon that had put the cable
/: between, Shanghai and Nagasaki out Of
commits zion. On Friday this message ives
received in the office In Broad street from
1.-THE Office In Shanghai:
"Cab3e interrupted. Messages going by
post"
This meant that Shanghai could not get
!Nagasak across the Eastern sea, and that
isenders Of messages for Nagasaki would
fhave TO- depend on the mail to get word
ito Japan. Meanwhile, the cable company
tried to get messages into Japan over the
,circuitous Government route. with more
,or less success. Naturally the Govern
lment has wanted to use it's wires q good
Ideal hi the last several days and the Com
mercial7oompany has had to give way.
The roundabout wires go from Shanghai
Ito the island Of Formosa and thence through
1.-THE chain Of islands called Liukiu, reaching
Japan at DIANA. The cable company says
THAT these wires are working slowly, and
se~sryshing sent by them is at the send
erx1iAx.
,, This message came to Broad street yes
iafday from Shanghai: Post service ar
ranged to-day provided weather mod
erates.",, -
This message, taken in conjunction with
the, report of a destructive typhoon at
Shanghai, indicates that the cable between
Shanghai and Nagasaki has been crippled
