vor,,,ra and his suite 60 to Seattle to take
massage for Japan.
The Russians. on a special train OF three
oors hked straight through from Ports
u,orth, arriving in New York at $50. The
Grand Central Station was crowded at that
ba,,r with home folks waiting for summer
,o,rists. and was absolutely barricaded
w. thousands of trunks. When Mr.. Witte,
a.cor-ed bv a corps Of Secret Service men,
resched the gate very few in the crowd
,scognized him. The police and Secret
S1ryice men had butted half way through
beforc some one set up a faint cheer. Witte
slammed to say good-by to the clergy OF
81 Nicholas Cathedral, who had come
down from Portsmouth with the ENJOYS.
Those who saw him in New York before
renarked hat he looked great deal older.
Tho strain of his month Of fighting showed
in his face.
Baron Rosen and all the attaches were
with him excepting Berg and Shipon.
They got away day early to visit Niagara
and meet the party here. The Russiens
took cabs for the st. Regis.
Witte, only stopping to register, went
~ his room and to bed at once. The strain,
rembers of his party said last night, has
heen almost to the breaking point. Until
the treaty was actually signed he took
No rest; his was the last light burning at the
Wentworth night after night. Whom the
oAacial act was over he nearly collapsed,
and hardly lasted out the praise service
IN Christ Church, Portsmouth. He left
orders at the St. Regis that he was to be
disturbed on no account. He wanted to

The rest of the party grinned a COM
Vosite, whiskered, Russian grin as they
hacked off their suit cases to their rooms.
pAncon and Willenkin leaned over the
desk and exchanged Fluctuations with the
clerk. Lin, Pokotiloff's big Manchurian
servant was as usual the show piece OF
tho Russian party. This was his day to
wear his sky blue clothes and his green
isde bracelet. He deposited a bundle Of
umbrellas in the lobby and started to try
his English on the bellboys.
Hardly were the Russians In their rooms
when Gen Fred Grant dropped in to invite
them to visit Governors Island on Friday.
Wiste was not to be seen, but Rosen, who;
BY the way, looks enough Hike Gen. Grant
to be his brother, accepted on behalf Of tho
party

onFriday at clock they 60 to Governors
Island. On Saturday the ENJOYS Will
dine with the President at Oyster BY
and on Sunday Mr.. Witte. il he has got
enough rest meantime, will 60 to WASH
ington with Baron Rosen.
This visit is entirely unofficial He
feels that he ought to see the Capitol Of the
United States before he goes back. His
sea voyage, which he has been dreading
for month, begins Tuesday on the Kaiser
Wilhelm. The trip to Chicago is definitely
OF.
The Japanese arrived at o'clock. Baron
Komura went ahead Of the party to Boston
on Tuesday night. He wanted to look
over Harvard, his alma mater. He joined
them at luncheon yesterday in the Hotel
Touraine Mr.. Denison stayed behind to
revisit his old home in New Hampshire.
At a quarter to Baron Kaneko, with
Eusuh and Nogi, his secretaries. arrived at
the station and formed q nucleus for crowd
OF about fifty Japanese students and mer-
chantsj who greeted him by holding their
bats over their hearts and making three
formal bows. The police and Central
Office men let the party through the station
gate few minutes before the ENJOYS ar
rived.
Although many members OF the Nippon
Club were there, the club was not officially
represented. 1t has been in two minds
whether to welcome the ENJOYS or to disap-
prove Of the peace they made. A COM
mittee meeting to settle the question was
get for to-day but was called OF. However.
the ENJOYS are to dine there informally
on Friday night.
Baron Komura came out at tho head OF
the delegation. In answer to q cheer from
the crowd, he smiled, waved his hat, and
altogether showed great deal more cor
dialty than he ever displayed before on
this trip. Mr.. Sato stopped to shake hands
with the reporters and to say that he would
ISSUE one OF hiss justly celebrated oHiclel
statements at quarter to O. He added
that he was glad to get back. None Of the
diplomatic personages on either side had
anything TO say about the Wentworth,
but they were all glad to get back.
Onaplush chair under beautiful Dresden
shepherdess Sato sat for his interview.
He began by denying on behalf Of Baron
homura an alleged interview published
in Boston newspaper. The Baron was
reported as complaining that the Russians
had broken their agreement OF secrecy
and given out news to the papers.
He did not say it. 1t is fiction" said
Mr.. Sato. For the rest, he talked mainly
OF the reports Of upheavals in Japan.
Il do not believe that there have been
any riots, he said: There may be politi-
cal movement against the Government.
Every man who isn't in power, you know.
would like to get in power. It's just like
your Republicans and Democrats. BY far
The strongest faction in Japan now is the
Constitutional party, headed by Marquis
