Presidents Toast.

Before the luncheon had proceeded
far President Roosevelt rose from his
chair. and. turning to the assemblage,
raised his hand for silence. In an in
slant there was a hush. Bowling to the
ENJOYS, the president said:
Gentlemen: propose a toast to
which there will be no answer and
to which ask you to drink in silence,
standing.
Il drink to the welfare and pros
perity of the sovereigns and peoples
of the two great nations whose repre-
sentatives have met one another on
this ship. 1t is my most earnest hope
and prayer in the interest of not only
the two great powers, but for all man
kind, that a just and lasting peace
may be speedily concluded between
them"
The toast was drunk as the presi
dent requested. in silence, but in the
hum of conversation which followed
little was heard but the enthusiastic
comment on the character of the pres
ident's expression. NJ. Witte and Bar
on Komura both cordially thanked
him.
At the conclusion OF the luncheon
after the president had posed with the
four ENJOYS for an official photograph
arrangements were made for the presi
dents departure for Sycamore Hill

they had had.
AS they went over the side the May

The cruiser Chattanooga, with the
Russian ENJOYS on board, anchored a
third of mile from the Mayflower
at l: 80 p. m, and Is minutes later the
Chattanooga's 10 gun salute announc
ed the departure of the Russians. A
few minutes afterward the form Of NJ
Witte, the Russian chief plenipoten
tiary, appeared at the starboard gang
way of the Mayflower. He was fol
lowed by Baron Rosen, Russian am
bassador, and second plenipotentiary
and eight members of his suite. They
were received precisely as the Japan
ese had been, and they. too, were ush-
cred into the cabin, where the presi
dent was waiting to receive them.
During the reception of the Rus.
sian mission the japanese ENJOYS,
with their suite, were in one of the
forward cabins.
With notable cordially, President
Roosevelt shook hands with NJ. White
and Baron 4.osen, exchanging with
them informal but hearty personal fe-
llcitations.
The greetings of the members of
the two special missions were dis
tinctively formal, but not the slight
est suggestion of enmity was shown
on either side. Neither by word nor
by action did they indicate anything
except the utmost cordially. Careful
to avoid any strain, President Roose-
welt, as soon as possible after the in
PRODUCTION, suggested that the party
proceed to the main saloon, where
luncheon was in waiting.
The president himself led the party,
followed in order by NJ Witte, Baron
Komura, Ambassador Rosen and Min
lister Takahra. bven the formation
of this little procession involved diff
ficult diplomatic problem, but it was
agreed that the president solved 1t ad-
mirably.
Although the luncheon was served
with the guests standing, the presi-
dent escorted the ENJOYS to chairs in
one corner of the saloon and in half
minute. through tact and delicacy,
the whole party was engaged in ami
mated conversation over their dishes.
Baron Rosen and Baron Komura chat
ted as though they had been lifelong
friends and Minister Takahira at no
time particularly communicative, en-
tered into the conversation with zest.

MRS. ToTURICPs ATTORNEY
ASKS THAT SHE BE RELEASED
Judge Lawlor Fixes the Bonds In s1O,-
600, to Which Defendants At
torney Takes Exception.

Mrs. Rosa Torturici. indicted by the
Grand Jury for the murder of Biaggio
vilardo. was brought into Judge Law
lor's court yesterday at the request OF
her attorney. J. A. Spinetti. who made
an application that the woman be ad-
mitted to bail If she was not to have
an immediate trial He urged that the
court fix the bail In a nominal sum. as
the defendant had no friends here who
could assist her.
District Attorney Byington said he
desired to try the woman's husband
first, as he did not wish to disclose
the evidence he had against Torturici
at the trial of his wife. He offered no
objection to the woman being admitted
to bail.
The Judge said that as the case was
one in which bail could be allowed he
was willing to fix bonds In $4,000 for
the defendants release Spinetti took
exception to the order of the court,
saying 1t would be impossible to obtain
bonds in $4,000. The Judge limited
that he might at future time enter
tain a motion for reduction of the
bonds and continued the case for two
weeks.

INVITES BIDS
Of ALL MARIS
Canal Commission Not to
Purchase Supplies Exclu-
sively of Home Producers
OPEN TO THE WORLD
Americans Must Compete
With Europe to Get the
Trade of Uncle Sam

WASHINGTON, May 15.-The execu-
tive committee Of the Isthmian Canal
Commission to-day decided to purchase
rial and ships necessary for the build
Ing of the Panama canal.
This important decision was reached
with some reluctance, because 1t was
appreciated by Secretary Taft and the
executive committee that there would
be surely great outcry from tw great
interests in this country-the producers
Of material and the shipowners--if the
purchases were not limited to the
American products. But 1t was decided
that the money consideration was so
great that it could not be ignored, for 1t
was held that, in some cases, fully so
per cent more would be charged for
material needed in canal construction
than the same goods could be procured
for in Europe.
Chief Engineer Wallace, for instance,
showed that two ships, in addition to
the ones running between New York
and Colon and owned by the Panama
Railroad Company, were absolutely
necessary to carry the food supply and
material needed for the work. No
American ship could be bought at any
reasonable price, and when 1t came to
building such ships it was found, ac-
cording to Secretary Taft's statement,
that while he could buy two 1900 ton
ships in Europe for $750.00o, 1t would
cost $1,400,o00 to build such ships here.
And, in addition, while the European
ships could be had at once, 1t would
take at least eighteen months to pro-
cure American boats.
As to the material needed for canal
construction, the committee decided
that by reserving to itself the right to
purchase In the worlds markets, 1t
would mt least Oblige American manu-
fncturers to give the benefit Of their
fereign prices II they wish to sell goods
to the commission.
Secretary Taft explained to-day that
he felt obliged to indorse this decision
because, having given Congress every
opportunity to give contrary decision,
he felt that the very terms of the canal
act provided that it should be con-
structed at the lowest possible cost.
