New York, April 4.-Baron Kentaro
Keneko of Japan delivered an address
Sunday morning before the Society for
Ethical Culture at Carnegie hall on tho
subject OF The Effects OF the Russo
Japanese War on the Relations Of East
ern and Western Nations. The big au-
ditorium was crowded. Baron Kanek1
slid i'm part:
When we entered into this war 1t
was with clear perception Of its vast :
ness and the knowledge that we would
not be fighting the Muscovltes alone.
but that through their scandalOus
stories we would have arrayed against
lis the sentiments Of race and religion.
No nation was ever forced to such
heartrending conflict. From the begin
ming we determined to fight to the end
as civilized nation, that the world
might know that We were not. as the
Russians said. a semi civilized people
of the east waging war against civiliza-
ton. 1 am happy to say that after IL
months Of fighting we have not broken
q single international law.
We have followed closely the Red
Cross agreements Of the Geneva con-
vention. We have stood for our rights
but when our enemy has thrown down
his arms and come under our protec-
tion we have treated him as consider
ately as Christians could. and when ne
has been wounded he has been nursed
as kindly as cur own.
THE underlying principle Of the Jap
anese civilization is right. while that of
the west Is might. in the struggle for
the survival of the fttest, when the
west and the east have met. might has
prevailed over right. The nations be-
ieving in the right have been crushed

of Liaotung in the war with China. In
that instance Russia. with Germany
and France. snatcned away the spoi's
Of victory. and might made us yield
without a murmur.
I'VE knew as long as ten years ago
that war was coming and prepared for
it. We had TO become mighty to pre-
serve the right. We had In these ma
t;ona, calamities lost confidence In the
western diplomacy. Five years ago we
felt pretty sure that we had acquired
the needed might. but remembered the
moral doctrine of our ancestors. Be-

AN EXPLOSION

Loss to company's Building Over
$4,000.

Bridgeport CT, April 4-In a ter
rifle explosion that blew to pieces one
of the brlck buildings of the Onion
Metallic Cartridge Company, in Bar
mum avenue, shortly before the close
of the days work. today, three men
were instantly killed and in the panic
which followed women tainted and
made frantic efforts to get within the
walls surrounding the plant as it was
reported that many more lives were
lost than really were. Such Il scene OF
Wild excitement this city has seldom
witnessed and the apparent horror OF
the situation was increased by the
breaking out of fire and the appear
ance of ambulanceS and morgue wag
ems, which ratified up to the factory
and awaited their gruesOme errand.
few moments after the explosion Oc
Cured, the fire department arrived on
the scene and did good work in check
ing the flames.
The exact cause of the explosion may
never be known, as the only man in ;ht
building at the time. John Neary, was
blown through the roof 80 feet with 4
great mass of debris and came dow
dead. Two helpers, Michael Hurley and
William Bayliss. working near th'
building. also were killed.
The building in which the explosion
occurred was known rs the dry house
and is used 10 dry primer caps. Thesc
caps are illuminate and are brough,
over TO the dry house and placed or
long steam pipes In solne manner. one
of the caps was discharged and the eX.
plOsiOn followed.
Nearly every pane Of glass in the
number OF buildings comprising tht
cartridge companys group. was brOk.
en-, the foundations Of nearby buildings
were shaken as if by small earth
quake and the explosion was felt ir
houses within radius of a mile of tn,
i'll fated building.
In the various buildings of the cart.
ridge company, there are 1900 emplOyc.
| and all were working when the eXplo
sion occurred. Some Of the workingmer
and women saw the building shoot uI
in the air. and made Il rush for tht
doors.
Failing glass on all sides told OF
something serious and in few mo-
ments the entire working force was ir
the yard in an excited condition. but
order was restored when the situation
was finally taken in. Several of the
factory tainted in the early excitemen,
and were taken to their homes in car
riages and ambulances.
Outside of the factory wall there
soon congregated thousands of mer
and women. whose relatives or friends
work in the factory and on account OF
the vague reports concerning the ex-
tent of the disaster there was great ex-
citement, but the police and firemen
handled the crowd well.
A careful search of the ruins, to-
night, failed to reveal any further
deaths.
Superintendent Ryland said. tonight
that the loss to the company would
reach fully $4,000. The dry house was
of brick and was one and a half stories
high. II was in a cluster of brick build
ings.
Windows in the factory of Eaton,
