mIKADO TO THE PLENIPOTENTIARIES.
Instructs Them to Make Every Effort t.
Secure Peace.

Toxic (By Cable).-The Emperor de-
livered an address to the peace plenipo'
tentiaries. as follows
"The President of the United States
being grieved to find that the war be-
tween Japan and Russia had not been
brought to a close after the lapse oil
more than year, and being impressed
with the urgent need, in the interest OF
peace and humanity, of terminating the
conflict, has suggested that the two gov.
ernments appoint plenipotentiaries and
cause them to meet together to negotiate
peace.
I'VE were compelled, contrary to oui
expectations, to resort to arms, despite
our constant abiding wish for peace, and
if, in consequence of the conciliatory spir-
it of our opponents, hostilities could be
brought to an end, nothing would be
more satisfactory than such consumma-
ton.
Accordingly, we at once accept the
suggestion of the President of the United
States, and we hereby charge you with
the mission of negotiating and conclud-
ing peace You should devote yourselves
with all of your power to discharge youi
mission and make every effort to secure
the re-establishment of peace on a dura.

directly across the Susquehanna road
from the scene of the big wreck of May

tors explosive wrecked Pennsylvania
Railroad express train and killed 20 pas

pie and injured two. All the victims
were employees of Contractor Kerbaugh,
and were at work on a new Pennsylvania

bruised, but not serious.
The men were preparing for what is
called big shoot to be fired early i'll
the morning, consisting of series Of
blasts, the charges being set off 81
multaneously Five holes had been filled
with the explosive and the men were at
work on the sixth, when it let go. Prob
ably sand got into the hole, and the iron
bar with which the men were Stamping
down the charge caused spark by
scraping on the sand. John Shelter, a
fireman, working about some dinky en-
gines $50 feet away, says:
There was one shock. then two heav-
Ter shocks, and after that all | could
see was a shower of falling rocks and
fragments Of human bodies"
Shelter was turned completely over two
or three times by the explosion, An
Italian water boy, II years old, on his
way to the men with a bucket of water,
was hurled so feet away and every Stitcn
of clothing was torn from his body ].
c. Miller, sitting 200 feet from the blast,
was blown 25 feet.
Wiseman's body, frightfully mangled,
was identified only by the fact that he
dyed his hair. His remains were found
40 feet up the hill. Parts Of the bodies
of two SlavS and three Italians were
found hundred feet away. One Italian
escaped because a fellow-workman had
playfully snatched his hat and run with
it. The owner made after the hat and
got out of range Just in time The force
of the explosion. forming a vacuum. was
so grea. that the side of tool shed
nearby was torn clear out and drawn 20
feet toward the blast. The explosion
shook the country for miles around and
broke many windows in South Harris
burg, across the river.

JAPAN'S FLAG IN RUSSIA

1 GREAT MOVE BY THE JAPANESE.
win Demand Cession Of Island and Heavy In
demnity..1he Russian Peace Advocates HAD
Beer Suggesting That Voluntary Cession OF
the Island Al ght Be an Offset With Port
Arthur and the Chinese Railway.

st. Petersburg (By: Cable).-With the
Japanese flag hoisted for the first time
on Russian SOIL. after -.IS months of
war, the hlip6stance Of the. landing on
the Island of Sakhalin is generally adj
mitted both in newspaper comment and
in government circles. Complete or
ganization of the island is regarded as
foregone conclusion.
The Novoe Vremya voices the gen.
eral sentiment in holding that control OF
Sakhalin puts powerful lever in the
possession of Japanese diplomacy, which
finally has something tangible in its hands
to throw upon the scales with the sword
in the coming conference.
There is divergency of opinion with
regard to the effect it will have upon
the negotiations at Washington, some OF
the irreconcilables declaring that 1t
makes peace at the present luncture
more impossible than before, as Japan
will be able to demand the cession OF
the island and a heavy indemnify as
well, at which terms of peace would be
too costly, but the more prevalent view
is that Japan has now in her hands
enough trumps TO take the game.
The attacks on the island certainly
dissipates one of the hopes of the peace
advocates who have been suggesting that
its voluntary cession might be an offset
with Port Arthur and the Chinese Rail
road against the payment of a large
part of all of a monetary indemnity.
No further report of the landing oper-
atoms has been received.
NJ. Muravieff, the Russian ambassa-
dor at Rome and one of the peace plen-
potentiaries, has arrived in ST. Peters
burg and called upon Foreign Minister
Lamsdorff. His sailing arrangements
have not been perfected, as they are de-
pendent upon the date of his audience
with the Emperor, which will probably
take place Tuesday. His suite has been
completed by the selection of two secre-
taries from the foreign office.
The Novoe Vremya joins in the press
chorus against NJ Muravieff, saying it is
hard to tell how good diplomat he will
prove, as he certainly was not success
at The Hague. The paper says that
Baron Rosen, the other plenipotentiary,
on the contrary, is a skillful diplomatist,
and has been socially successful.

F The announcement was made on the
authority of President Roosevelt in THE
following statement given out ~ Sec
rotary Loeb:
"Elihu Root has accepted the tender
by the President of the Secretaryship OF
State. He will take the oath OF oflce
in a couple of weeks, but it will neces'
sarily be some little time before ne
closes up his business affairs. He Will
not go to Washington permanently un-
til some time in September"
President Roosevelt is much gratiheo
At Mt. Roots acceptance and is deeply
sensible of the personal sacrihce MADE
by Mr.. Root in again taking up the Dur-
dens and duties of member OF the CAD
met
The decision of Mr.. Root, was reached
finally on the Presidents special tram
during the return of the Presidential
party from Cleveland, 0. For personal
reasons entertained both by the Presi-
dent and Mr. Root, it was deemed de-
sirable not to announce the decision pub
liclv until the President had returned to
Sycamore Hill. 1t is the intention OF
Mr.. Root to assume the duties OF Secre-
sary of State practically at once, al
though it will be perhaps two weeks
before he formally will take the oath
Of office. His professional interests are
80 large that he will have to devote
considerable time to a satisfactory ar
rangement of them before he goes to
Washington to take permanent charge OF
the State Department.
When he takes active charge OF the de-
partment he will give up entirely his law
practice.
1t is not unlikely that the admlnistra-
ton of affairs connected with the con-
struction of the Panama Canal may be
transferred from the War TO the State
Department. Since Elihu Root indl-
Gated his acceptance Of the Presidents
;snder of the Secretaryship of State the
President has had the matter of the
transfer under consideration. 1t is
known that Secretary Taft would be
quite willing to be relieved of the re-
;ponsibility attendant upon the direc-
ton of the canal affairs.
The appointment of Judge Magoon to
be Minister of the United States to
Panama in connection with his office
as Governor of the American Zone on
The Isthmus, naturally suggests the de-
STABILITY of placing both offices under
the direction of the Secretary of State,
and following this movement to its logl-
cal conclusion, the Secretary of State
would be the natural director of the af-
fairs of the canal Mr.. Root is deeply
interested in the canal work and already
has devoted considerable thought to it.
Washington (SpeciaD .-Elihu Roots
commission as Secretary of State has
been prepared at the State Department
and forwarded to Oyster Bay for the
Presidents signature.

Japan Wants China to Keep Dat Of II.

Washington, D. c. (SpeciaD.-China's
request to be represented in the Wash
ngton conference on the ground that
she is vitality interested in its proceed
ings has been received by the President
and informally transmitted to the bel
ligerents. Whether the President has
received the formal replies cannot be
learned, but it can be stated that, while
Russia is inclined to favor the sugges-
ton, Japan will not consent to it.
Japan has already made public her as
surances that Manchuria is to be return
ed to China. That is one of the prin-
ciples for which she says she has been
fighting. =,
Japan regards herself as fully capable
of executing this promise without the as
sistance of China, and in view of China's
inability before the war to cope with Rus
STA in Manchuria, the japanese govern
ment is unable to see what possible serv-
ice a Chinese representative would be in
the Washington conference.
