Pennsylvania avenue was gay with
flying flags and bunting. The crowd
ON the pavements, kept from over
flowing the curbstone by the force of
mounted police, was larger than the
city had seen for years.
On the corner Of Twelfth and the
avenue the people who had been un-
able to decide whether they preferred
seeing the man Of the hour start from
the White House or arrive at the capi-
tol had finally formed a congested mob
that concluded to let we'll enough alone
and save the wear and tear Of further
progress.
A group Of cowboys in their best
western finery joked a crowd Of girls
that had turned out to see the process
sion. Two Indians, decorated with
every specimen Of button, badge and
feather, stood with stolid patience just
where the crowd was thickest.
A man III a light overcoat lowered
head and shoulders above the rest. A
newsboy reached up with variegated
cane and tilted his derby rakishly to
one side. "Wisht l was up in the

GEAR TELLS HIS ARMY.
MESSAGE TO LINEvITcH Elk
PLAINS REASONS FOR PEACE.

A cabiegram from st. Petersburg last
night says: The emperor on Friday last
tele graphed the following TO Gen. Linevitch:
.The negotiations at Portsmouth led on
August 10 to refusal OF the demands Of
the Japanese government regarding the ces-
sion OF the island of. Sakhalfn. the pay
H.ent of war indemnity, the surrender of
cur ships lying In neutral harbors and the
limitation of our forces in the waters OF the
Pacf1c ocean. After further negotiations,
Japan on August ~ yielded all our condi-
items. but asked for the return OF that por-
ton OF Sakhalln occupied by Japanese
troops, which is the part held by Japan
until 1875. and then ceded by treaty to
Russia
THE self-sacrificing army SO dear to me
withstood the assault of a numerically su-
pcr.or enemy In Manchuria step by step
during nineteen months. obstinately repuls-
ing his advance. Under your leadership the
army was reorganized and strengthened by
tho arrival Of troops from Russia. and 1t is
now greater In numbers and stronger than
before. 1t was not only prepared to ward
Off the enemy, but to fnfifct upon him an
important defeat.
81 and all Russia believe In the strength
of my glorious army and In it's readiness to
SCI rif1ce itself for the good Of the father
land, but my duty to my conscience and to
ths people intrusted to me by God demands
me not to again put to the test the valor of
Russian men, so dear to my heart, and not
to expose them to fresh and needless hor-
rors of war In order to retain half OF
remote island which Japan coded to US in
1875. and 1 have therefore accepted the
preliminary peace conditions.
''The Russian troops have repeatedly
proved during this sanguinary conflict their
valor and self-sacrifice.
Convey this to my dear army. May 1t
know that and Russia value the sacrifices
which 1t has made in this severe war;"
