The landing and reception OF the
ENJOYS was a function replete wish

part OF the thousands OF persons who

sia were much affected by the demon
strations of the American public. M.
Witte rode through the business sec
ton OF the town with his tall silk hat
raised above his head in constant &C
acknowledgement of salutes Ambassa-
dor Rosen in the same carriage, was
also uncovered in honor Of the cheer
ing crowds. In the carriage following
were the two japanese ENJOYS, and
they. too. We're not remiss in respond
ing 20 the hurrahs of the crowds.
The ENJOYS were met al the court
house by Third Assistant Secretary OF
State Pierce, who first presented Mr..
Witte TO Governor McLane. and then
Baron Komura. The senior Russian
commissioner presented his suite to
the chief executive OF New Hampshire
and the Japanese plenipotentiaries did
likewise, Governor McLane's formal
speech OF welcome was responded 20
by profound bow OF both parties. AT
the conclusion OF the ceremonies the
Russians we're arranged on the right

and the entire party was photo
graphed.
One OF the interesting preliminary
questions 20 be settled by the confer
ence Is the language in which the ne
gotiations shall be conducted. Dir.
White speaks only French and Rus
sian. while Baron Rosen has also a
command of English. Both OF the
Japanese are proficient 10 the English

nese.
While there are no official state
nents or predictions regarding the
outcome OF the forthcoming negotIa-
lions. the prevalence OF a general good
feeling Is noticeable throughout the
engirons OF the peace missions.

THE CONVENTION AT ROANOKE

The Republican Convention at
Roanoke this week has seen a. 20
place a good. strong ticket in the
field. II We were assured of a fair
count. we would be under the inn
precision that the Republican man
ayers have good show of carrying
the state The disclosures made
here recently demonstrate beyond
the shadow OF doubt that an of the
old methods OF fraud and trickery
are now in vogue and that the vic
Tins are now white men instead Of
colored ones.
Judge l.. l.. Lewis. the Republican
nominee for Governor is an ideal can
didate. save for his omce-holding
proolivities and he has rid himself Of
this handicap by promptly resigning
the Office of United States District AT
torney. The ticket is sufficiently
respectable 10 enlist the support of
every disgruntled Democrat in Vir-
ginia and TO ensure good, genteei
business administration should the
majority OF plurality OF the votes be
counted in its favor on the night of
election.
IL is hardly necessary TO refer TO
the para the colored brother viii play
in the campaign He will be a fac
tor left out OF the calculations. Il
may be that il is better so. II both
parties believe that the Republicans
have chance of success without
the aid. comfort and support of the
colored brother. then ii is best that
this view of the matter be empha-
sized or discredited.
When the Democratic party Of
Virginia has named its candidates,
