NOW READY FOR BIG TASK
PREVALENCE OF GOOD FEELING
NOTICEABLE IN PEACE
MISSIONS.

PORTSMOUTH, IN. Aug. IL. LIZ
Russian and Japanese peace missions
have submitted themselves to intro
duction and likewise to all OF the GER
emonies of welcome and reception on
the part Of the United States govern
ment and the State of New Hamp-
shire. and are now on the eve OF fac
ing each other for the purpose OF end
ing the war in the Far East, and II
possible concentrating a permanent
peace between the two great nations.
To-day they will meet in the naval
stores building of the Portsmouth
navy yard and exchange credentials.
The second days session, to take
place Thursday or Friday. will be de-
voted either to consideration OF the
Japanese peace terms, or to PROPOSE
ton for an armistice by the Russian
plenipotentiaries.
Repiete With Ceremony.
The landing and reception of the en-
voys yesterday was function replete
with ceremony. The dignity Of the
nations salutes was contrasted with
the hearty ordinations of good will
on the part of thousands of persons
who thronged the streets of Ports
mouth and surrounded the court
house, where Gov. McLane pro-
nounced his cordial words of welcome.
The ENJOYS of both Japan and Rus
STA were much affected by the demon
stration Of the American public. Mr..
White rode through the business sec
ton of the town with his tall silk hat
raised above his head in constant
sador Rosen in the same carriage,
was also uncovered in honor of the
cheering crowds In the carriage fol-
lowing were the two Japanese ENJOYS,
and they, too. we're not remiss in re-
spending to the
Hurrahs of the Crowds.
Three carriages were occupied by
each mission, and in the procession
through the streets Of Portsmouth the
Russians and Japanese were given al
ternate positions. the first third and
fifth carriages were Russian and the
second, fourth and sixth Japanese.
The public was vigorously excluded
from the navy yard, where the en-
vows came ashore. The landing was
effected most expeditiously. and ev-
erything moved without the slightest
Interruption The ENJOYS were met
at the court house by Third Assistant
Secretary of State PIERCE, who pre-
sented the ENJOYS to Gov. McLane.
The governors formal speech of well
come was listened to with great in
terest by both parties. At the con-
clusion of the ceremonies the entire
party was photographed.
Good Feeling Noticeable.
No one except the governors staff
and council, United States Senators
Burnham and Gallinger, Representa-
tiyes Snlloway and Currier, and AS
sistant Secretary Peirce were present
at the court house function, although
crowds surrounded the building.
When the hotel Wentforth was
reached shortly after o'clock there
was an outburst of applause carried
on in good natured rivalry.
Although private dining rooms had
been provided for the plenipoten-
tiaries both suites took dinner at the
same time in the main dining room of
the hotel.
While there are no official state
ments or predictions regarding the
outcome Of the Forthcoming negotia-
tions, the prevalence of general good
feeling is noticeable throughout the
environs of the peace missions.
