CHEERING ROOSEVELT.
Rusalnn Soldiers Sing Praises of stren-
 uOus PresIdents .z~ .:~.:.5

uOus Prestdents *:..
 Gunshu Pass, Manchura. Sept. g. Delayed In ransmission.)-Since the news was received that peace negotia- tions at Portsmouth were approaching . conclusion the correspondent of the Associated Press has made survey of all the Russian positions from Mon goIia to headquarters, the object in mart being to ascertain the extent to which the efforts making for peace were viewed bS the army.
 The negotiations received no official recoRnitIon in the field prior to their successful conclusion, the army keep ing in a state of preparedness for haattle until the receipt by General Ijnevitch of a telegram from Emperor Nicholas, declaring that the treaty had heen signed. and that his majesty ac- cented the conditions arrived at. This telegram was officially published in the army newspaper on September 6, and the outlines of the peace conditions were printed in the same publication today.
 The officers thereafter observed mili- tary decorum in the strictest sense, hut the soldiers with the consent of inc officers, engaged in feasting and other forms of celebration. It will be a week or more before the entire army Is fully informed of the conclusion of peace, but the news was discounted ionE ago by the prevailing conviction that since the appointment of the pleni- notentiaries peace was a foregone con- cIusion. It may be said that to the great majority of the officers and men so far informed the news that the war Ia at an end is most welcome.
 Thousands are daily drinking to the health of President Roosevelt. The correspondent. who is the only remain ing foreign newspaper man with the Russfan army, was everywhere asked hv the men if he was an American and o1 being answered in the affirmative, thev captured him and tossed him many times in the air after the manner of the Cossacks, while their officers gent jv protested against this seemingly Guestionable manner of their admira- tion. Everywhere along the railroad where the newspapers could be ob- tained the soldiers eagerly scanned the news and then expressed their joy by sienIng which they continued late into The night at intervals cheering for President Roosevelt.
 with the exception of the loss of a eantatn and two orderlies on the east Sront. within the past two weeks and If nine men in the centre a week ago.

 Some years ago. in consequence of misunderstanding In the interpretation of the most favored nation clause, there were established in Russia on several articles of American production, cus- tom duties on higher scale than those levied on the same articles when i'm ported from other countries.

 My visit to the President" said Ba- ron Kaneko, was purely social. He invited me to take luncheon with him and came today. Oh, there was noth- ing significant or even important about my call. I expect very soon to leave for Japan, and desired to say farewell to the President. I have not decided definitely when I shall leave America, but 1t will be soon.
 My mission to this country?' said he. repeating an inquiry. T have explain cd that. have not l? It was simply to do what I could to cultivate between -Afneflca qua Japan coFOAAt COthtbSAStAh and trade relations. Commerce, as you know, rules the world. It Is the greatest element in a nations prog ress."
 Has your mission been successful?' the Baron was asked.

 Baron Kaneko was asked If Japan was interested in the operations of railroads in China or railroad conces' sions in that empire.

 Referring to the recent rioting in To- kio, Baron Kaneko said;
 "While personally have received no dispatches on the subject, l am assured that the rioting which occurred was only a spontaneous upheaVal of senti- ment due to misunderstanding of the situation as to the treaty concluded al Portsmouth Now that a correct under standing of the situation is becoming general the trouble has disappeared There is no anti-American sentiment m Japan Our people have the greates' respect and admiration for President Roosevelt and the highest regard TOT America"

 The troops and police, he says, are still engaged In preventing incendiar- ism and pilIaging. The director of the technoIogical institute at Baku telegraphs saying:

Help is slow in reaching there owing to the distance from the military centres The whole of the Tartar population has risen and has been joined by 1000 armed Kurds from the Persian bank of the Alas River.

public printer constitutes a gross im-
 propriety.
 Bryon w. Bonney, In charge of the record clerks division of the Govern ment Printing Office suggested meth cd of computing measurements in the test of composition between the Mer- RenthaIer and Lanston machines. His suggestion was acquiesced in by Mir. Ricketts. On the stand, Mir. Bonney testified that he had never held stock In either company, but the admission was drawn from him that his wife had formely held stock in the Mergenthaler Company, which she had sold year ago. Lately she purchased Lanston stocks, selling the latter three weeks before MT. Bonney appeared before the commission. She had bought the stock, her husband testified. with her index pendent means.
 Albert Cotelle. chief of the fifth division where ten Lanston machines are located stated that he had heard his wife held one hundred shares of stock in the Lauston Company but he was not sure about it. as she had an independent income and did not al- ways consult him as to her invest ments. MT. Cottelle the report says was one of the three members of committee appointed by by public primer to investigate typesetting mar chimes in the early summer of 1904.
 After thoroughly examining all per- sons whose work and figures were used in the preparation Of this report, in- cluding members of the committee who signed 1t and after the most cart of the methods foilowe4 by the Marston Committee in arriving as its results, we are of the opinion that as a comparative statement of cost of composition ase between the Mergenthaler and Lanston machines. the report is worthless; that the con- clusion reached by the committee is not justified and that as a record or any supposed comparison or test as to the merits of the two typesettlnS ma- chimes the report Is grossly unfair e@ the MerEenthaler rnachineay

The party arrived at Mount Vernon at 1 o'clock and spent an hour and hall going through the mansion and about the grounds. 4 feature of the stay there was the planting of. fine healthy ash tree on a commanding site on the terrace in front of the mansion overlooking the water. M. Witte and Baron Rosen each handled the spade in filling the ground about the root of the tree after it had been planted and the former asked that when attained growth some branches of | be sent to him for transplanting. It was through the courtesy of the ladies of the Mount Vernon Regents that the buildings were opened today and M. witte asked that his thanks be sent to them.
 Just before the train left for New York the Italian ambassador, Baron Mayor Des Planches came to the sta- tion and held a few minutes conversa- ton with M. Witte.
 The presence of M. witte and his party in Washington was not generally known though as they rode through the city he was recognized by numbers of people. NJ Witte manifested great deal of interest in the children that he saw and whenever they alighted from their automobiles he always shook hands and smiled with persons who were standing about.

Crop for 1905.
 Mexico City, Sept. 10.-Last years cotton crop was 7b.0o0 bales. The low est estimate for the present year is 90,- 900 and possibly 100000 bales.
 The cotton produced in the republic Is about one-third of the quantity required for native mills. The annual increase in acreage is smaller. Reports of ex- periments with the cotton tree are not very satisfactory. and 1t is not likely that cotton from this source will for long time be had In quantities to affect the market

'Tt developed in the course of tes- timony taken by the committee that several persons in the Government Printing Ohice were at the time covered by our inquiries. interested in the stock of the Lanston and Mergenthaler Com panies. Both of these stocks were dealt in on the Washington Stock Ex- change and 1t is not surprising that a body of men as large as that employed in the Government Printing Office whose attention is naturally directed to typesetting machines. some speculation in Lanston and Mergenthaler stocks should be found. The committee con- sidered such matters of no importance except the case of persons whose acts exercised an influence upon the reports submitted to the public printer about the typesetting machines or persons who occupied important positions in the Government Printing Ohice, and might be regarded as assistants to the public printer"
 The Keep report says the ownership of stock In a typesetting machine com pany may not be a violation of the Re- vised Statutes, but its ownership by the wife of an associate in the office where such associate Is in a position to exer- eiae influence upon the opinion of the

Upper Egypt ,c the Red Sea.

About year ago work was begun on
railroad in Upper Egypt from the
Red sea to the Nile. Little has been
said about it. but it is now reported
that about $50 miles of tracks havs
been laid, leaving about 130 to com
plete the road. whose Red sea ter
minus is not at Saukin. which has al
ways been the port from which the
caravans have crossed to Khartoum,
but at point thirty miles farther
north. where better harbor is being
built This has been called Barud.
but will be named Port Soudan.
Thence the road pursues south
westerly direction to the point where
the Atbara falls into the Nile. Work
was begun at both ends at once There
is very heavy work on the road and
many bridges. for though there is
little rain, when II comes it comes in
torrents. The railroad may be said
to be a competitor of many of ours,
says the New York Railroad Gazette.
for chief reason assigned for build
ing il is to encourage cotton growing
in the Soudan by giving cheap out
let TO the sea
