LEFT NEWPORT AT s.

Newport, R. l., Aug 7.-The yachts Dolphin and Mayfower. with their con- voys, bearing the Russian and Japan. csc commissioners to Portsmouth, sailed from this harbor at s a. m. With the exception of Mir Witte, who left for Boston by special train last right, the members of the Russian and 4ap- anese parties wee on board their ra- spective vessels. The fog which hung heavily over Long Island sound ycster- day and which made necsessary the stop at this port. was burned away by the sun this morning and the condi- tions were ideal for continuing the voy. age to Portsmouth.
 shortly after the departure of the fleet the Dolphin picked up the wire less station and sent large number of dispatches which are to be cabled to Japan. The Dolphin reported excel lent weather outside. A message was also received stating that the enyoys had had refreshing night and were enjoying the voyage under to-day's pleasant conditions.

Portsmouth. N. H., Aug 7.-There was great disappointment in this citg to-day over the delay in the arrival of the Russian and Japanese peace en- yoys. Although notice was given by Rear Admiral Mead of the Portsmouth navy yard promptly yesterday upon learning that the United States squad. ron bearing the representatives of Japan and Russia had been delayed by fog at Newport, the fact that It was Sunday prevented wide circulation of the news, and information of the post ponement of the functions was not in the possession of large number of the interested citizens of Portsmouth and it's environments until to-day. Con sequently this section of New Hamp- shire was astir early, as 1t had previ- ously planned to be, and by 8 o'clock every electric line from the country towns was bringing many sightseerS The gaily decorated business section of the town was filled with animated crowds early in the forenoon. and when the news of the postponement became generally known there was not a little confusion, and expressions Of regret and disappointment were gen. eral. After time, however. the philosophic view gained sway, helped along by all sorts of rumors about the possible arrival of the ships and most of the crowd decided to have holiday anyway.
 A report that NJ. Witte was expect ed on the morning train from Boston had the effect of turning throngs to- ward the railway station.
 The postponement of the functions necessitated hurry orders to the state troops which were to arrive here from all parts of the state. Governor Me. Lane was up at daylight dictating telegraphic orders to the troops to re- main away until tomorrow. Informa- ton was also dispatched to the con. gressional delegation of the state, the members of which had been invited to participate. During the forenoon Gov ernor McLane received a telegram from Third Assistant Secretary Peirce at Newport, R. l., stating that on ac- count of fog last night the yachts Mayflower and Dolphin, and the Gal weston. their convoy, would not arrive until Tuesday morning. and that the. proposed reception should be post poned twenty-fOur hours without any change in the program already ar ranged. After receiving this message Governor McLane conferred with Req. Admiral Mead and formal notice was issued that the reception of the en- voys at the navy yard by Rear Ad- miral Mead and his stan and at the. Portsmouth court house by Secretary Peirce and Governor McLane would take place tomorrow, according to tho same schedule of arrangements which was to have governed today.

GERMANY IS INTERESTED.

GERMANY IS 1NIERESIED.
 Berlin. Aug 7.-Not only the foreign office but the Boerse and the great trading and financial houses of Ger many look forward with extreme in- terest to the meetings of the peace en- voys beginning tomorrow at Ports mouth, N H., and numerous Russian enterprises. old and new. financed by German credit, wait on the results Of the conferences.
 The doubts existing in London and other capitals over the prospects of peace exist here, but in far milder form. The prevailing opinion is that although neither Russia nor Japan Is anywhere near the exhaustion of its resources. yet peace is so necessary to both that each will be reluctant to withdraw from the negotiations. once they are begun. without obtaining peace. It is believed in official quar- ters that each side will find the other adopting a stiff attitude in the begin ming and coming close to the breaking point, but that ultimately common ground will be reached.

Mr.. Thomas C. Howell Of the

short time in this city, but he is en-
thusiastic over the outlook in the

Mr.. Howell is personally interested

will not only develone great mine
but will show the true character OF

years.
Mr.. Howell openly states that "a.

in the mining world and only lately
made an extended report for Easter:

FAvoRs RACE SUICIDE.

The woman's Society for Political
study has discussed the injustice re-
sulting to children in large families
where the parents are unable TO sup
port them properly and, after due
consideration, those present came out
strongly in support Of race suicide
The discussion was started by the
reading of the weekly municipal re-
port. It developed that the society
desires anti-pauperism laws that shall
restrict the propagation of the human
species. The speakers expressed the
belief that such laws would furnish
the solution of the child labor ques-
tion, of overcrowded schools and all
other complaints than hang upon the
rapid increase of children.
