CONFLlJl NUW ENDED
Guns Boom as Envoys Sign
 the Peace Treaty.
TOWNS CELEBRATE THE EVENT.
M. Witte, Representing Emperor of Russia, First to Affix Signature to Document That Closes War
 In the Far East.

PORTSMOUTH, N. H., Sept GA salute from the navy yard signalized the signing of the treaty of Portsmouth yesterday, making effective peace be- tween Russia and Japan.
 It was announced that the official time of the signing of the treaty was forty-seven minutes after o'clock. NJ. Witte was the first to afflx his sigma ture. As soon as the firing of the eight cen guns was heard all the church bells in Newcastle Kittery and Portsmouth were rung as a sign of joy for about ten minutes. Flags were hoisted, and general joy was manifested.
 The last half hour before the signing was spent in making final reading of the treaty.
 M Witte, accompanied by Baron Ros- en and Mir. Plancon, left the hotel for the navy yard at half past 2 o'clock.
 Baron Komura, accompanied by Min ister Takahira and MT. Dennison, started fifteen minutes later in an au- romobile for the navy yard. They were greeted by. the guests of the ho- tel. Baron Komura had been preced- ed by another motor car, which car ried Mir. Sato and the Japanese secre- taries, taking their copy of the peace treaty in a large black leather port folio.
 Among those present at Baron Ko- ,e, far,a Yt,,ra xpoe Dieho,1 Dnffoy. ,f New York.
 Both Russian and Japanese missions on their arrival in the navy yard were received by Admiral Mead, while two companies of marines, commanded by Major Moses, rendered military honors.
 The copies of the treaty of peace brought to the navy yard had been carefully compared by the secretaries of the two missions in order to avoid the necessity of reading them before the signing, at which personages ex- traneous to the negotiations assisted. When the secretaries had ascertained the perfect exactness of the two copies of the treaty the plenipotentiaries and the other members of the two missions entered the conference hall, accompa- nied by Assistant Secretary Peirce. Governor McLane, Admiral Mead and the mayor of Portsmouth.
 M. Witte, the chief of the Russian plenipotentiaries, was the first to sign his name to the treaty. After the cere- monies of the signing of the treaty Baron de Rosen delivered a short and appropriate speech, pointing out the importance of the present event and the influence it will have in the rela- tions between the two countries. He ended by expressing the satisfaction he felt at the good relations which have characterized the work of the pleni- potentiaries. Baron Komura replied, paraphraslng Baron de Rosen's speech and expressed his thanks for the kind words addressed to himself and to the members of his mission
 The entire Russian mission, headed by NJ. Witte, attended a thanksgiving service celebrated in Christ Episcopal church both by American and Russian clergymen.
 Re-entering the hotel, one of the chief members of the Japanese mission said, "The treaty signed today may be the most important historical feature of the twentieth century,"

Of course, evens if the king asks Mr..

very unlikely that such a government

The counting board is about as, large
as a big kneading board such as house

enough to hold row Of forty pennies.
When the pennies are to be counted
several thousand are heaped onto the
board, which is placed above hopper.
Then the operator tips the board, back
ward and forward and sideways so that
the pennies slide about, and finally set
tie in the grooves made by the brass
partition strips. When the board is
full there are 1000 pennies on it. It
