SOLDIERS ARE JUBILANT.

ernoon a Japanese commissioner bear.
ing white flag and escorted by fifty
soldiers arrived at a post near the
railway and handed to the Russian
officers, who went to meet him, a let
ter from Field Marshal Oyama, to
General Linevitch, congratulating him
on the conclusion Of peace, and beg
cling him to appoint Russian plenipo-
tentiaries 10 arrange an armistice.
Field Marshal Oyama appointed Gen.
eral Tukushima as plenipotentiary for
his side, the letter announced, and
he suggested Chakhedza as the meet
ing place.
Since news was received that peace
negotiations at Portsmouth we're ap-
preaching a conclusion, the correspon,
dent of the Associated Press has made
a survey of all the Russian positions
from Mongolia headquarters, the OBJ
ject in part being to ascertain the en-
tent to which the efforts making for
peace were viewed by the army.
The negotiations received no Off
cial recognition in the field prior to
their successful conclusion, the army
keeping in state of preparedness
for battle until the receipt by Gen
eral Linevitch of a telegram from
Emperor Nicholas, declaring that the
treaty had teen signed, and that his
majesty accepted the condition arriv-
cd at.
This telegram was officially pub
lished in the army newspaper at Gun
shu Pass, Manchuria, on September g.,
and the outlines of the peace condi-
lions were printed in the same publ
cation Saturday.
The officers thereafter observed mil
itary decorum in the strictest sense,
but the soldiers, with the consent of
the officers, engaged in feasting and

peace, but the news was discounted

plenipotentiaries peace was a fore.

to the great majority of the officers
and men so far informed the news
that the war is at an end is most
welcome.
Thousands are daily drinking to the
health of President Roosevelt. The
correspondent, who is the only re-
naming foreign newspaper man with
the Russian army, was everywhere
asked by the men If he was an Amer
lean, and on being answered in the
affirmative, they captured him and
tossed him many times in the air af-
ter the manner of the Cossacks, while
their officers gently protested against
this seeming questionable manner of
their admiration.

Assistants of Public Printer Interest
ed in Monotype Machine Co.
At Oyster Bay Sunday, President
Roosevelt made public the report Of
the Keep commission on it's recent in.
vestigation of affairs in the govern
ment priting Office at Washington.
The inquiry was made by special
direction of the president, on account
Of protest which he had received
from officials Of the Mergenthaler
Typesetting Machine company against
the award of a contract by Public
Printer Frank w. Palmer to the Ian
stOn Monotype company for seventy
two machines of it's make.
The president decided, after an ex-
animation Of the Keep report, that the
contract for the Lanston machines
should stand. The Keep commission
reported that if the contract could be
set aside, Such a course would be
desirable" although the commission
states expressly that mo corrupt con
Bideration, payment or promise pass
ed from the Lanston Monotype COM
pany to the public printer or to any
person in the government service"
It was developed by the commits
sion, however, that two important as.
sistants of the public printer were in
directly interested in the Lanston
company, their wives being stock
holders therein"

BLOWN 70 ATOMS
Many Men are Mangled In
frfghtfuI Explosion.
POWDER MILLS WRECKED
Thirty Employees Literally Torn TO
FRAGMENTS la Catastrophe-Ten
Buildings Raced and Other
Property Damaged.

The Rand Powder Mills in the sub
urbs of Fairchance, six miles south
of Uniontown, Pa, were entirely wip-
ed out by an explosion at 9:06
o'clock Saturday morning.
Of the thirty-two men who went to
work in the mill in the morning. nine
teen are known to be dead. OF these
thirteen have been identified. Nine
men. including C. NJ, Rand, manager
Of The plant, were seriously injured.
The shock Of the explosion was dis
tinctly felt in Connellsville, 20 miles
away, buildings being rocked on their
foundations. At Uniontown hundreds
of panes Of glasses were broken. In
the town of Fairchance there is
scarcely a house that did not suffer
damage. The sides were battered
as though axes had been used. Hay
stacks were toppled over in the fields,
and live stock were stunned.
A passenger train on the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, northbound, from
Mopgantown to Connellsyille, which
was passing the works when the first
explosion occurred,was almost thrown
from the track by the explosion, Ali
the windows were shattered, and the
passengers thrown into a panic. Had
the train been a few seconds later it
would have been blown up, as the
mills were in a few rods Of the
tracks.
A street car on the West Pennsyl-
vania railroad had also passed just a
few seconds before the explosion and
was far enough away to escape dam
ge, though it was derailed. There
were seven explosions in all.
Every one Of the ten buildings was
totally demolished. Not a vestige of
them remain. The debris that was
strewn over the 10 acres Of ground
where the plant was located, took fire
soon after the explosion, and added
its terrors to the disaster
The dismembered parts Of the dead
were burned in many instances. Iden-
LITIGATION of many was made by parts
of clothing alone. The first three ex-
plosions were not as serious as the
last four. Then the packing house,
pressing room and magazine blew up,
followed by two cars of dynamite
standing on a nearby railroad siding,
which were set off by the conclusion
from the powder mill explosions.
Identification Difficult.
When the bodies were recovered
the work Of Identification was very
difficult. Small pieces of bodies were
picked up all over the place. These
were not collected together, and many
sections Of bodies were thrown back
into the debris, where they were
found
The hole where the magazine ex-
ploded in about Is feet deep and 50
yards square.
