Special Cablegram to The Star.
PARIS, September 19.-The Matin pub
fishes an interview with NJ. Witte, who ar
rived here last night on his way home from
the peace conference. In the interview NJ.
Witte explains how the Japanese made their
about-face in respect to the demand for
an indemnity
NJ. Witte said that he noticed after his ar
rival in the United States a sudden change
in American opinion in favor of Russia,
and he took into account the advantage
which he might derive from American pop
ular opinion in attaining the object he had
in view. In order to accentuate this move
ment OF opinion he resolved to yield
very quickly on all the demands Of Japan
that appeared just. so as eventually to
place the negotiations on the sole basis of
indemnity. He was then able to invoke
principles Of humanity and leave with Ja-
pan the responsibility Of shedding more
blood for a question of money alone.
The American press took the same stand
point and reproached Japan with her want
of Observation-Disclosures President Roosevelt
was moved. He appealed to Baron Kane
ko. made him cognizant of what was going
on and warned him that his country need
no longer rely upon the support of America
II she persisted in continuing the war on
the sole question of money. Kaneko imme-
diately cabled TO Japan in dismay, and the
mikado's government executed an about
face
TT was time, indeed" NJ Witte added.
"On two separate occasions 1 was advised
by cablegrams to have done as soon as pos
sible and break off negotiations. The first
time / replied requesting a short grace in
order not to appear to be acting hastily.
On August 2S on the eve OF the supreme
sitting of the conference, the second cable
gram reached me. To this l replied: I have
done with war. This time II is peace"

STANDING ROOM TAKEN
The Corn Palace Was Filled to Over
flowing at the Afternoon
Concert Today.

Over $500 people crowded. pushed
and pulled to get into the corn pal
ace this afternoon and every seat in
the vast building vas occupied, and
that vas not sufficient room to ac-
commodate the people. They stood
in the alsles, hlled up the landing in
the Balcony and used practically es-
cry available spot for standing room.
The crowd today surpassed the eX-
pectations of the corn palace commit
tee and the building received a test
that demonstrates its solidity and
capability OF sustaining a great
weight. 1t was thought when the
building was under construction that
it was large enough to accommodate
any crowd that ever attended the pal
ace, and it appears that ever another
enlargement will be necessary for
next year.
The Banda Ressa presented a tine
program Of music for the vast throng
and its hearty appreciation was
shown after every number was played.
The band attained great popularity.
and those who heard the band two
years ago were anxious to hear it
again.
The Resurrection was presented for
the second half OF the entertainment
and 1T was given very close attention
by the people.
Wednesday will go down in history
as the biggest single concert that the
corn palace ever experienced, and we
do not believe that a larger audience
ever assembled under one roof in
South Dakota before.
