WItte , Russia's limiting plenipoten
tiary to the Washington conference ,
landed beie trom the Kaiser Wllhelm
der Ctios-so ab quietly and democratic
ally as the most humble of his follow
pasfMigeis. Mr. Lodygonsky , llus
sian consul genotul , went down the

to greet the distinguished envoy and
was icieived by M. Witte on deck

read and quietly put those com . t
tlons in his pocket. *
Awaiting M. Wltto at the dock was
Uaron Rosen , Russian ambassador at
Washington , with his first secretary ol
mbassy , Mr. Hanson. Daron Rosen
came on board as soon as the ship
reached the dock and cordially greet'
d his confrere and the members of
his suite. After ten minutes conver
atlon , during which the majority of
the passengers landed , M. Wltte came
down the gang plank on the arm of
Karen Rosen , followed by his suite ,
but soon found his passage blocked
by the crowd , who cheered , and M
Wltte , smilingly , acknowledged tha
greetings by repeatedly lifting his hat
Several policemen soon came to his
rescue and cleared a passage to the
automobile which was awaiting the
party outsldo the dock. Midway down
the pier the procession was again
stopped , this time , however , by
a delegate from the Slavonic society
of New York , who presente'd fc Wltte
with an address. The Russian envoy
made a brief but cordial response ,
thanking the society for its gieeting
and also Cor the cordial welcome he
iad received trom another delegation
which boarded the Kais-cr Wilhelm off
Quarantine , having gone down the har
bor on a tux.
Soon aftoi the ship left Quarantine ,
M. Witte , sui rounded by a largo gioup
of newspaper men , who came down the
harbor on the icvonue cutter , and by
as many ot the pas.sengeis as could
crowd around him , called to his sli'.o
Professor De Mai tens , a member o (
his suite , and handed to him a state
ment With the direction that he de
liver it in Engllbh as the greeting ot
M. Witte on his ai rival In this coun
try. Piofessor Do Mai tens read the
greeting In a clear voice and at its
conclusion M. Witt" received a heartj
ovation , vvl' h evidently pleased hlri
and which he acknowl > Igoil by sev
eral bo\\s , and then vuilKod away f
one side ot the ship to look at the
statue of lib'ity.
M. V ittc's
. , Cresting.
"For the irlo-c'.ly gicetlngs of the
Ameilcan " firt
nnw-imp"rs upon my
visit to th ° ho ! p'.taljlo shoies of t'-e
United Sta'fs , I offer my hutt'f > 't
thanks. This kind attent'nn louche ?
me all the more profoundly Localise
I reali/.e the vastness of the power
wielded by the press of the United
States and admire the keen intelli
gence with which It is uniformly di
rected. I am glad to be able to add
that I also appreciate the ethical
worth of the alms for the attainment
of which that power Is so often and
so successfully employed. One of the
noblests of these aims Is the estab
lishment of peace and friendship
among nations , and It Is to the praise
worthy efforts of the people of the
United States In this direction that my
Tlslt to the new world Is attributable.
For It Is in compliance with the
American people's desire for peace , of
which President Roosevelt was the
authorized exponent , that his majesty ,
the czar , has empowered me to come
hither and ascertain the conditions
which our gallant adversary deems
necessary and adequate as a basis for
peace negotiations. I need hardly
point out that It Is my ardent desire
that the two chivalrous foes , who firsi
became acquainted on the field of bat
tie , may have found In each others'
sterling qualities motives powerful
enough to cultivate that acquaintance.-
ship until It ripens Into lasting friend
ship. Mernvhile , however , the terms
offered muct first bo ascertained ,
weighed and judged admissible by
Russia before she can proceed to form
al negotiations. Hitherto , ns you are
aware , it was customary in cases like
this to settle all such preliminaries
befom the meeting of the plenipoten
tiaries , whose task it was to como tea
a final agreement on the matters un
der discussion. Now the very fact that
his majesty , the czar , consented to
take a course Involving departure from
this ancient diplomatic usage and to
approach a mission to learn the na
ture of our bravo enemy's terms , Is an
eloquent token of the friendly foellug
wbth he and his Kubjoc ts continue
to ( hnMi lownids the people of thn
t'nlteil Stales. 1 say continue to cher
ish , because at no epoch In our hi *
toiy have our traditional t elation *
< vlth this gieat republic boon other
Ihan cordlr.l. And now I should like
to say , aye , and to piove to jour people
ple who live less In the past than In
the picsont and the tuluio , that It 19
Ilic rcivent wish of the emperor and
the people of Russia futthoi to
sttenijlheu the ties of friendship
which linvo hitherto subsisted be
tween the two nations. It Is In vlrtun
of that siiirere deslie that his maj
esty , the czar , waiving all other con
sldoratlons , has unhesitatingly accept-
cd the ooid.al Invitation of > our tlrst
citizen and genial leader. And If my
mission should prove in all other re
spects barren and the endeavor to find
a common basis for peace negotiations
should fall lor the time being , the sig
nal proof of friendship given by his
majisty , the czar , and the Russian
nation would still stand out as a me
moiablo event , fiaught , I trust with
far-i caching and beneficent icsults tn
the two great peoples ot the west and
the east. "
As M. Wltte does not sneak Kngllsh ,
he was not pressed' ' for an Interview ,
but the members of his party were
each approached for their views as ta
the negotiat'ons. Natuially , on u sub
ject of such delicacy , they were rctl'
cent , but this much was asceitalntd
be.vond a doubt : In scope the power *
of M. Wit to , who comes as plenlpoton
tlary of Russia to discuss with tha
Japanese plcnlpotcnUailcs means ol
ending the wai , and piovlded a basis
acceptable to Russia Is obtained , to
sign the treaty of Washington , equal
In every way the powers handed to
Baron Komura by the Japanese cm
peror. M. Witte brings with him In
structions , prepared by his emperor ,
which outline the general policy which
he is authorized to pursue. They nro
In many respects elastic , and will aid
rather than hamper M. Wltte , provid
ed the terms submitted by Japan , In
his opinion , appear reasonable. It
was also mndo plain by several of M
Wltte's suite that ho has not come to
the Washington conference to obtain
peace at an ' price. Officially , the Rus
sian mission Is of course unaware ol
Japan's terms and until they have
been handc d to M. Wltto by Baron
Komura , "Russia will await results pa
tlently and without anxiety , " was the
way a clo ; o friend of M. Witte ex
pressed the attitude of his country.

sponsibility for Accident.
San Francisco , Aug. 3. A special
dispatch from San Diego to the Call
says that from an official source , the
reliability of which cannot bo ques
tioned because of its connection with
the court Itself , It has just become
known what in substance will bo the
report of the court of Inquiry now in
vestigating the Hennlngton disaster.
It may be stated authoritatively that
the court will find that boiler H of
the T3ennln ton exploded , not because
of unusual'y high pressure , but be
cause the metal of the crown sheet
and the bolts holding that ciovvn sheet
In place had become "dead , " had lost
all life and nearly all tensile strenp'h
by reason ot constant use and the fail
ure to renew the weakened place dur
ing the time that the ill-fated Hen-

ter and the responsibility to higher
