PEACE ENJOYS SAIL.
japanese PIenipOtentiaries Start
from Yokohama for Seattle.

Yokohama, July S.-The steamer Minnesota,
of the Great Northern Line, having on board
the Japanese peace plenipotentiaries. sailed from
this port for Seattle at 4:30 o'clock this after
noon. The Governor of Yokohama and the civic
bodies escorted the plenipotentiares to the pier,
where they were received by a military guard.
At the pier the penipotentiaries and their suites
entered launches and were conveyed to the
Minnesota, which was dressed with flags as
were all the other ships in the harbor
The Marquis Ito, Premier Katsura the other
members OF the Cabinet, Mr. Griscom the
American Minister, and the staff of the legation
were among those who accompanied Baron Ko-
mura and his party TO the Minnesota An
enormous crowd of japanese and foreigners
with bands of music assembled at the water
front and general enthusiasm was manifested
the bands playing patriotic airs and the crowds
discharging fireworks.
On arriving on board the Minnesota Baron
komura and those who accompanied him par
took of collation.. after which the ship sailed

guardship Takao fired a salute of nineteen guns

torpedo boat and a naval steamer especially
detailed TO convoy her out Of Toxic Bay.
The japanese peace penipotentiaries are

hundred in number. who had gathered at the

Baron Komura. who has already shown rare
ability and success a diplomat, now goes on
his important mission with the full confidence of
all concerned. The editorial comments are unan-
imous in wishing success to Baron Komura
and his suite. The whole of Toxic is apparently
rejoiced at the peace prospect after so many
months of war.

Under Armed Peace

Paris, July 9.-The speech of NJ. Jaures, the
Socialist Deputy which he had intended to de-
liver to-day in Berlin, before Chancellor Won
Buow prohibited 1t, appears in M Jaures's
paper, "L'Humanite." this morning. 1t covers
ten columns. and is fervid appeal to the So

France, Germany and England, to adopt COM
mon programme against miiitarism and the cap
italist, and work together in the cause of peace.
1t points out that conflict between either

PRAISES MORTON.
Saus He Care Vital assistance to
Commerce Commission.
frnox THE TRIBUNE ruREAu.l

Washington, July S-Martin A Knapp chair
man Of the Interstate Commerce Commission
emphatically denied to-day the reports that
members of The commission have, either pub
Iicly or privately. criticised the Presidents ex-
oneration of Paul Morton, former Secretary OF
the Navy. Mr.. Knapp. who has been absent from
Washington for several weeks goes further, and
adds his testimony to that OF the President re-
garding the vital assistance which Mr.. Morton
rendered to the commission in devisng method
of checking the freight rebate evil.
Mr.. Knapp who spoke with great earnestness
said:
So far as / have knowledge belief these
statements are altogether at variance with the
truth and as unjust to the commission as they
are TO the President and Mr.. Morton The
charge that members of the commission have
said anything in public private which gives
the slightest excuse for these stories is utterly
unfounded Without going into details or re-
ferring to any particular article, want TO say
that these stories of the commissions attitude
less fabrications.
Speaking for myself 1 wish to add that in all
of my experience OF fourteen years l have not
come in contact with railway official who has
been more candid straightforward than Mr..
Morton or more helpful to the work OF the
commission, and l especially admire the Presl-
dent, who knows all of the facts, for publicly
upholding whom IL Is sought TO make the
victim of his own frankness and courage.
Mr.. Morton the first railroad official In
the country to take positive stand against the
payment of rebates and other railway abuses.
1t was his testimony in the commissions in
vestigation of the transportation OF packing
house products which made clear the operation
OF the whole rebate system, and 1t was given In
the hope of breaking II up to which end 1t
greatly contributed. For years Mr.. Morton has
been a consistent and courageous advocate or
railroad reform, and l am satisfied that ms
opinion as to the legislation which is needed 10
effectually put end to rebates and rate dis
ordinations would not differ materially from
my own views
