the mayor of Portsmouth.
NJ. White, the chief of the Russian
plenipotentiaries, was the first to sign
his name to the treaty After the cere-
moniesas ofnthe' signing of the treaty
Baron de Rosen delivered a short and
appropriate speech, pointing out the
importance of the present event and
the influence it will have in the reIa-
lions between the two countries. He
ended by expressing the satisfaction he
felt at the good relations which have
characterized the work of the pleni-
potentiaries. Baron Komura replied,
paraphrasing Baron de Rosens speech
and expressed his thanks for the kind
words addressed to himself and to the
members of his mission
The entire Russian mission, headed
by NJ. White. attended a thanksgiving
service celebrated in Christ Episcopal
church both by American and Russian
clergymen.
Re-entering the hotel, one of the chief
members of the Japanese mission said,

yesterday, making effective peace be.
tween Russia and Japan.
1t was announced that the official
time of the signing of the treaty was
forty-seven minutes after 3 o'clock. M.
Witte was the first to affix his sigma
ture. As soon as the firing of the eight
cen guns was heard all the church bells
in Newcastle, Kittery and Portsmouth
were rung as sign of JOY for about
ten minutes. Flags were hoisted, and
general joy was manifested.
The last half hour before the signing
was spent in making a final reading Of
the treaty.
M. Witte, accompanied by Baron Ros-
en- and Mr.. PlanceA, left the hotel for
the navy yard at half past o'clock.
Baron Komura, accompanied by Min
lister Takahira and Mr.. Dennison,
started fifteen minutes later in an au-
tomobile for the navy yard. They
were greeted by the guests of the no.
tel. Baron Komura had been preced-
ed by another motor car, which car
ried Mr.. Sato and the japanese secre-
taries, taking their copy of the peace
treaty in large black leather port
folio.
Among those present at Baron Ko-
mura's departure was Bishop Potter of
New York.
Both Russian and Japanese missions
on their arrival in the navy yard were
received by Admiral Mead, while two
companies of marines, commanded by
Major Moses, rendered military honors.
The copies of the treaty of peace
brought to the navy yard had been
carefully compared by the secretaries

Mass Meeting Protest gatnst the Aesiou

the Outbreak.

TOKYO, Sept Z. The first turbu-
lence attendant upon the popular an
ger over the terms of peace arranged
with Russia took place Tuesday. A
mass meeting to protest against the
action of the government was held at
Hibiya park, and, although the metro
politan police closed the gates and
kept the crowds moving. the authori-
ties, after protest had been made,
permitted the meeting.
Resolutions declaring the nation hui
inflated and denouncing the terms up
on which the treaty of peace was ar
ranged We're adopted, after which the
gathering dispersed in an orderly man
ner.
Later on, however, crowd attempt
ed to hold meeting in the Shintomi
theater, and the police dispersed it. A
portion of the throng then proceeded
to the Office of the Kokumin Shinbun,
the government organ, stoned the build
ing and damaged some the printing
machinery.
Several persons were injured during
the attack, but the police eventually
cleared the streets of the crowd and
arrested number of the rioters. The
disorder is not general, and the situa-
ton is not serious
Similar meetings have been held at
Osaka and Nageya, which in round
terms denounced the government and
asked them to resign.

SUICIDE or r. 8. STEVENS.
Member of Wen Known Family
shoots Himself at Westbury.

WESTBURY, n. Y, Sept. 7.-Driven
to desperation by financial and domes-
tic troubles, Francis Bowes Stevens,
Jr., a member of the well known Ste
vens family, which has been promi-
nent in New York since the days of the
Revolution, shot himself to death al
his country home at Westbury, n. Y
The fact of his death was kept quiet
until late yesterday. Then Justice OF
the Peace Remsen, who acts as coro.
ner, was notified, and he made an in.
vestigation.
1t is believed that the immediate
cause of the suicide was financial diff
culties. 1t has been common talk that
Mr.. Stevens has had a very small
amount of money for some time. The
maid told the coroner that her wages
and that of the other servants-a cook
coachman and butler-had not been
paid for two months.
But all of them liked him so vel
that they continued with their work
and told him not to worry.
''One day / told him." said the Cohen
girl, that he looked worried"
Il guess am worried" he answered
Last month he asked me to wait
when / spoke about my wages, and
did So When another month had
come around l did not speak, but he
came to me and said that he could not
pay. l told him not to worry
The Stevens home is near that of the
late William c. Whitney and is one OF
the most beautiful places on Long Is
land.
The suicide was a grandson of Com
modore Stevens.
