A WARM WELCOME
/. FOR THE PRESIDENT
MINERS GIVE HIM ENTHUSIASTIC
RECEPTION.
Few Such ovations Have Ever Been
Given Chief Magistrate as That
at Wilkesbarre.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Aug. 10-Presi-
dent Theodore Roosevelt was given
one of the most enthusiastic receptions
ever accorded a chief executive of the
United States on his arrival in this
city at 3 O'Clock this afternoon. Thou
sands of miners, realizing that to him
and him alone they owe the present
era OF prosperity in the anthracite
mining regions, thronged the streets of
the city and cheered Gfm TO the echo
as he passed along to the public
meeting place where he was to speak.
During his entire trip through the
streets the cheers of the multitude
compelled him to hold his silk hat In
his hand as he responded to the vo-
ciferous greeting.
His advent upon the platform was
made the occasion for another ova-
ticn, which lasted II minutes. He was
escorted to seat by President John
Mitchell of the United Mine Workers
of America, who took occasion to say
that 1t was seldom the chief executive
OF great nation had found the time
or yielded to the inclination to honor
with his presence and participate in a
meeting held under the auspices of
men who followed manual labor for a
livelihood.
The visit of the President was ap-
preciated the more by the miners be-
cause they remembered that it was
through his Intervention the strike of
1902 was brought to a happy termina-
ton. Trade unionism, said Mr.. Mitch
ell, has justified its existence by good
work and high purposes; it has ele-
waited the standard of living of the
American workman, and conferred
upon them higher wages and more leis-
ure; has increased efficiency, dimin-
ished accidents, averted disease, kept
the children in school and improved
the relations between employer and
employee, standing upon the broad
ground of justice and humanity. Mr.
Mitchell then introduced the President

surprise was manifested in this city to-
day when II became known that all the
personal effects of j. Edward Eddicks

FOR SECRET PAPERS
The Russian ENJOYS Have Had a Big
Safe Installed.

Portsmouth, N. H.. Aug 10.-A big

Office of the Russian envoys at the ho-
tel. 1t was put there at the request Of
M. Witte this morning for the purpose

required safe place to keep them.
The copies Of the Japanese peace terms

telephone wire strung between their
quarters at the hotel and their private
rooms, adjoining the conference cham

SEAL FISHERIES
Object of Japan in Making Raid on
Siberian Coast.

Kobe, Japan, Aug. 1.-THE real rea-
son for the destination of the japanese
squadrons dispatched by Admiral Kat
noka to the Siberian coast is the ac-
quisition Dy japan of the famous seal
fisheries in that section, whose annual
yield is from $4,000 to 100000 skin.
The japanese fleet will bring into the
market the famous crown sea otter
skins, the almost priceless furs which
for years have been the absolute pre-
negatives of the family Of the Russian
ruler Fabulous prices have been Of
fered time and again by dealers for
these skins, which are so much desired
by American millionaires, but they
have never been secured, and the reve-
nue. from the coming capture bids fair

The opportunity for presenting the

emergency. Four Russian secretaries
were hurried to the navy yard as soon

They at once set to WORK putting the
terms into cipher.
Two statements we're later made

WITH GRAVE FACE
The Russian ENJOYS Carried Peace
Terms Back to Hotel.

'''o SNS'N ~ ''SNS'
Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 10.--A syn
opsis of the Japanese terms was cabled
by M. Witte to the Russian foreign
Office for transmission to the czar early
this afternoon. The work of preparing
this resume and putting it into Rus
sian diplomatic cipher was begun just
as soon as possible after the conditions
had been communicated, and it was
ready for transmission by 1880 p. IN.
L; contained about GOO words. Another
dispatch was also sent about the same
time to Baron Rothschild, in Paris,
presumably informing him of the
amount of indemnity demanded 1t is
understood that II Russia decides to
make peace and agrees to pay an in
Gemniiy an American syndicate will be
formed to handle part of the loan. In
that case Messrs. Kuhn, Loeb & Co.
of New York, it is believed, will be the
agents on this side.
The fact that M. Witte was in COM
munication with the Rothschild bank
ing house, taken in connection with
the announcement from st. Petersburg
that the cZar and his council of minis
ters were willing to pay an indemnity
provided Japan will restore the island
of Sakhalien to Russian sovereignty is
taken as favorable indication that
however hard the japanese terms are
there is as yet no intention of breaking
off negotiations.
They will be made the subject of dis
cussion.

THE TERMS ARE BAD
This rs What One of the Russians
Declares.

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 10-"The
Japanese peace terms are bad, very
bad; but they are subject to discus

That is the way prominent mem
ter Of the Russian envoy's suite sums
ny the situation late tonight.
The die has been cast. What the
outcome will be is mere conjecture.
ligns point to long diplomatic strug-
gle, but the fact that the Russian en-
voys have not summarily broken off
negotiations gives encouragement to
the belief that a common basis for
settlement may be reached eventually.
M. Karastoyiez, the Russian spokes-
man, asks to be excused from ventur-
ing an opinion as to the result
THE terms may be made known
WORTHY" he said, when approached.
They may be made public tomorrow.
M. Pokliloff, the Russian minister to
China, giant in stature as well as in
tellect, admits that the japanese de-
mands are harsh. But they are sus-
ceptible of consideration, and, we hope,
may be modified" he remarked.
Tonight long cable dispatch was

to be the copy in code Of the japanese
demands.
One high in authority has intimated
what the demands are in part. The
proposed fortification of Port Arthur
and the cession Of a portion of Sibe-
han territory are new features that
will meet with especial objection by
Russia, 1t is believed.
The Japanese attitude toward Port
Arthur is of deep significance. AS
this authority says: There will be
great changes in China in the next few
years. Her territory will be fraught
with grave international dangers. Ja-

CHINESE BOYCOTT
AMERICAN GOODS
is BEYOND CONTROL OF CHAM.
BERS OF COMMERCE.
Other Foreigners Fear the Native An
tipathy Will Spread to Affect
Their interests.

Washington, Aug. 1O.-The state de-
partment today received a message
from Consul General Rodgers at Shang-
hai, stating that the Chinese chambers
of commerce are unable to control the
boycott system. He cabled few days
ago that the Shanghai chamber of
commerce was anxious to counteract
the movement.
Mr.. Rodgers said in today's advices
that the student element is exercising
a dominant influence, and the Chinese
officials are not very active in their
efforts to protect American interests.
He adds: "All our interests are more
or less affected, and other foreigners
are growing apprehensive."
Apprehension among Europeans and
other foreigners is taken to mean that
the anti-American agitation may posi-
bly, lead to demonstration against all
foreigners caused by the well known
dislike for them among the masses in
China.
The state department has received a
cablegram from the United States
charge d'affaires al Bangkok, Siam, to
the effect that 1000 Chinese residents
of that city have telegraphed their
agents in Singapore, directing them to
ship no more American goods to Siam
