signed by his sovereign, Sergius Witte,
Russia's ranking plenipotentiary to
the Washington conference, landed

fellow passengers. He was met by
the Russian consul general who had
come down the harbor in a revenue
cutter with a party of Russian con.
suls and vice consuls.
Soon after the ship left quarantine
Mr.. Witte, surrounded by large
group of newspaper men who came
down the harbor on the revenue cut
ter, and by as many of the passengers
as could crowd around him, called to
his side Professor De Martens. a mem
ber of his suite, and handed to him a
statement with the direction that he
deliver it in English as the greeting
of Mr.. Witte on his arrival in this
country Professor De Martens read
the greeting in clear voice and at it's
conclusion Mr.. Witte received hearty
ovation, which evidently pleased him
and which he acknowledged by sew
eral bows, and then walked away to
another side of the ship to look at the
statute of Liberty.

their union chiefs and the railway OIL
fclals making every effort to main
tain traffic. the telegraphers' strike on
the trans-continental systems of the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
roads has taken on the aspect OF
war to the finish. Hundreds OF men
have gone out on both lines, neces'
stating the closing of scores of sta
tions. Through passenger and time
freights, by great effort, have been
kept on almost schedule time, but at
tempts have principally been aban-
doned to maintain local freight and
passenger service The greatest inter
ferences in schedules has been on the
Idaho division, some of the fast trains
being delayed five hours, where the
striking operators had turned the sig
nal boards or opened the circuits.
Freight matter in less than carload
lots for intermediate points was re-
fused at the freight Offices in St Paul
and Minneapolis during Wednesday.
Large quantities of perishable freight
were handled by the express COM
panies. Prepayment of express traf-
fic was almost invariably demanded,
and toward evening guarantees of de-
livery were refused, signed notices be-
ing required.
The railway officials say that they
are well satisfied with the situation
and that in ten days they will have
enough men to fill the places of the
strikers. Bureaus have been estab
