ftT QUAKER CITY
Attempt Made to Re-Pad the
Voting Lists Just Purged
of False Names.
ASSESSORS ARE AFRAID
Despite Legal Opinion Furnished
Them, 'Many Do Not Put In tin
Appearance Jit the Poll
ing Places.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Sept 3. (Spe
cial.) Tho plan of the Penrose-Durham
organization to repad the purged voting
lists of the city -with 70,000 to 80,000 false
names to take the places of those that
have been stricken oft by the police can
vass, has proved a dismal failure. The
machine attempted to do this by Issuing
orders to the Assessors of the city to sit
on extra days last week and this -week, in
order that voters "who had been omitted
In the last assessment might be given an
opportunity to get on the ll6ts.
The Assessors received their notiflca
tlon from the city committee, and coupled
with It -was the opinion of Alexander
Simpson, an attorney, saying -they could
legally sit and could legally put on new
names presented by proxy. As a matter
of fact, the only days upon which it is
certain the Assessors can sit to take on
extra names will be September 6 and 6,
but the reform elements decided not to
try to stop the extra assessment, but to
prevent It being used for fraud. In con
sequence, a policeman in uniform was
detailed to watch every polling place in
the city on tho extra days selected by the
machine. This blocked the game.
For three hours last night nearly 2000
policemen braved the rain in vain waiting
at the 110 election divisions in the city.
In obedience to Director of Public Safety
Potter's orders, one and in most cases
two policemen were detailed for duty at
each polling place to watch for Assessors,
and if any appeared, to make note of
what they did. As on Friday night, few
Assessors put in an appearance. A great
many of them admit that they are afraid
to sit excopt on the two days specifically
required by law, September 5 and 6.
The great majority of Assessors con
trolled by the organization have made a
house-to-house canvass of their divisions
In order to be absolutely sure of every
name on their list.

BOMB EXPLODED AMONG MER
RXMAKERS AT BARCELONA.
Crowded Marine Parade Resembles
a Shambles After the Smoke
Clears- Away.
BARCELONA, Sept. 3. A bomb ex
ploded with terrific force this after
noon on the Marine Parade, which was
thronged with holiday-makers. A
panic ensued and the air was rent with
the shrieks and groans of the victims,
who numbered between 20 and 60, In
cluding one woman killed and five per
sons mortally wounded.
The bomb was conical in shape and
covered with cement. The purpetrator
of the outrage is unknown. One wit
ness stated this morning that a child
was seen to deposit a bomb at the foot
of a treq while another version Is that
the bomb was placed at the foot of the
tree this afternoon and the man who
was seen to place it there was Injured
by Its premature explosion.
After the explosion, Panama hats,
parasols and wearing" apparel were
found strewn about, and there were
pools of blood. The detonation was
heard throughout the city and the
force of tho explosion threw a coach
man from the seat of his carriage 50
yards away. The bomb was filled with
nails and scrap Iron.
A workman, covered with blood,
while running away from the scene,
was pursued by a mob, which pre
sumed hJm to be responsible for the
outrage and, being caught, was nearly
lynched. The man was taken to a
hospital, where he denied he had ex
ploded the bomb.
CLOSED AGAINST ISTHMUS
Central American and Mexican Ports
Refuse to Receive Goods.
COLON, 6ept 8. The report by the
medical authorities of the Canal that the
death, August 23, of employes working
on the wharf at La Boca was due to bu
bonic plague has given rise to much dis
cussion. Jeromlmo Ossa, the Ecuadorian
Consul at Colon, declares officially that
tho report is falee and that there have
been no additional cases of bubonic plague
on the Isthmus.
The direct result of this reported pre
valence of the plague is that Central
American and Mexican ports refuse to
receive freight sent by way of the
Isthmus. Costa Rica and Nicaragua have
been altogether closed to Isthmian ports.
Several thousand tons of freight for Cen
tral America and Mexico are now tied
up on the Isthmus and this freight Is
increasing with the arrival of every
vessel.

THANKS OF JAPAN
Emperor Mutsihito Sends the
President a Message.
PERMANENT PEACE MADE
Terms of tho Cablegram Dispose of
Rumors That the Terms Arrived
at Were Not Satisfactory
to the 3Ilkado.
OYSTER BAY, N. Y., Sept, 3. Presi
dent Roosevelt today received at 12:40 P.
M. from the Emperor of Japan warm
thanks for his "disinterested and unre
mitting efforts in the Interest of peace
and humanity," and an expression of the
Japanese Emperor's "grateful apprecia
tion of the distinguished part" the Presi
dent had taken in the establishment of
peace in the Far East. The cablegram,
which was received from the Emperor
personally, follows:
"Toklo. Sept 3. 1905. The President: I
have received with gratification your mes
sage of congratulation conveyed through
our plenipotentiaries, and thank you
warmly for it- To your disinterested and
unremitting efforts in the Interests of
peace and humanity I attach the high
value, which is their due, and assure you
of my grateful appreciation of the dis
tinguished part you have taken in the es
tablishment of peace, based upon prin
ciples essential to the permanent welfare
and tranquillity of the Far East
"MUTSIHITO."
The cablegram from the Japanese Em
peror puts an end to the rumors that the
Emperor was dissatisfied with the terms
finally concluded by his plenipotentiaries
with those of the Emperor of Russia,
He accords President Roosevelt full credit
for the part he took In bringing about
peace "upon principles essential to the
permanent welfare and tranquillity of
the Far Bast"
The concluding sentence of the cable
gram Is especially significant It evidently
voices the belief of the Japanese Em
peror that the treaty about to be con
cluded at Portsmouth will be for a per
manent peace.
It can be said that the President ex
pressed no anxiety at the delay of the
cablegram from the Emperor of Japan.
It was known here that the terms finally
concluded at Portsmouth were dictated
by the Japanese Emperor himself and
that they could not be otherwise than
satisfactory to him and his advisers.
The delay In responding to the Japanese
plenipotentiaries was due, it Is suggested.
to the desire of the Emperor to be as
sured that the terms agreed upon would
be Incorporated Into a treaty without the
probability of a serious hitch. That as
surance, it Is said, was conveyed to the
Japanese Emperor last night upon the
practical conclusion of the draft of the
treaty. The cablegram to President
Roosevelt today followed in uatural
course.
Information reaching the President to
day from Portsmouth Indicates that the
treaty will be concluded formally and
signed early this week, probably tomorrow
or Taesday. The substance of the treat'
Is being reduced to engrossed form. In
two texts, English and French. Soon
as this formality shall have been com
pleted the convention, so Important not
only to the two belligerent powers, but
to the civilized world, will be slened
by the plenipotentiaries of the two gov
ernments directly In Interest and will
pass Into history as the Treaty of Ports
mouth. President Rooosevelt passed the greater
portion of the day at Sagamore Hill.
He and Mrs. Roosevelt with some' of
their children, attended morning services
at Christ Episcopal Church, notwith
standing the tremendous wind and rain
storm that swept over this part of Long
island, beginning early today and con
tinuing until late this afternoon. The
President and Mrs. Roosevelt sent the
children home from church In a carriage
and themselves walked the three miles
to Sagamore Hill In the etorm.
No official visitor was received during
the day, although Representative Wads-
worth, of New York, and Mrs. Wads
worth were house guests of the President
and Mrs. Roosevelt The President has
announced that he will devote the re
mainder of his sojourn at Sagamore Hill
particularly to recreation, and that he
will receive as few visitors as possible
and will transact no business that Li not
of pressing Importance. He has been
greatly occupied this Summer with public
business and has had scarcely any op
portunity to enjoy his vacation. He will
endeavor now to have some time to him
self.
SHAKE OFF THE GERMANS
Russian Writer Points to Hope In
Russia's Future.
PORTSMOUTH. Sept 2. Alexander
Brlantchlnonoff, correspondent of tho St
Petersburg Slovo. writing regarding the
future of Russia, says:
it is an axiom that a great country
cannot consider its frontiers as definitely
fixed until Its provinces have ohtalned
free and unobstructed access to the sea.
Germany has her ports on tho North
Sea; England the Atlantic Ocean; France
tne Aiianuc ana Mediterranean, while
the United States, flanked by two oceans,
is in a better position than any European
country, and for this reason must cer
tainly in the near future play a great role
In the world's politics.
"Russia, owing to this unfortunate and
regrettable war and to the conditions on
which peace have been obtained from
Japan, loses her absolute preponderance
in the Far East but it is to be hoped
that she will be wise enough to recom
mence the badly-begun adventure in Man
churia. She will have to be satisfied to
regain through commerce what she has
lost through the army. Vladivostok, froz
en for months every year, with Japanese
sentinels all. around her, cannot have a
sufficient political value to counterbalance
Japanese amblton, so that a frank un
derstanding between Japan and Russia is
necessary In order that the two countries
shall be sure of each other's good faith,
"The maintenance of Chinese integrity
certainly enters into this programme, us
it is only through peace being Insured In
the Far East that Russia can be free to
confine her activities to the European
stage, where her presence will soon be
come indispensable. No matter what the
future of the control of the gateways to
the Baltic may be. that sea will never be
for Russia anything else but a sea closed
by Ice. So It was natural for Russia
sooner or later to begin again her efforts
to gain an open port to the southward.
"To. obtain this object there are only
two ways, the Persian Gulf and the Bos
porus. The first Is the easier, Persia
being in a. state of disintegration, while
the Indian army, although quite capable
of defending India, is not in a position to
go to the defense of Persia. Germany
would certainly help Russia's schemes in
the Persian Gulf if it were left free in
the Bosporus, while it Russia tried to
reach the Bosporus she would have to
face German opposition and fight Turkey
which Is much stronger than Persia. Eng
land at most would remain passive.
"SU1I. the conquest of the Bosporus
would be tbs best Russia could do, as to
reach the Persian Gulf would nccesviuts
forcing away several thousand miles It
would not be dissimilar to the index
which took her to Port Arthur. She
would advance between two rivals. On
the other hand, if she directed her efforts
toward the Bosporus and offered some
facilities to England in the south of Per
sia, she could be tranquil.
"On the east she would be In position
to protect the Slav" cause against Ger
man influence, which is growing every
day. Onthe northern side she would
prevent Germany from being paramount
in Europe. Finally there is another rea
son for which it is time that Russia
should understand that she must rely on
England and not on Germany. Germany
Is the power of today and is putting for
ward every effort to make England the
power of yesterday and prevent the ris
ing of the power of tomorrow. Russia is
at the head of a great Slav confedera
tion. France, which Is undoubtedly the
power of yesterday, has realized that
and has entered Into an understanding
with England, while still an, ally of Rus
sia. "Alexander HI realized it when he
Joined hands with France, but after him
a clear political object on the part of
Russia was lost The duty of Russia, to
ward her Slav brothers was abandoned,
was forgotten, and the country, with eyes
closed, threw herself Into the hazardous
game, which naturally ended In a catas
trophe. If now Germany succeeds in
pushing Russia into the Persian Gulf, the
adventure will mean a quarrel with Eng-
lana. coolness lowara .trance and the
sacrifice of the Slavs of Austria and Tur
key on the altar of German ambition. It
will finally mean a new conflagration,
with Japan or England combined, with
Germany looking for her own Interests,
almost neutral.
If, on the contrary, a quadruple under
standing could be reached between the
two dual alliances, France and Russia
on one side and England and Japan on
the other, having as an object the pro
tection of their Asiatic. African and Aus
tralian possession. Russia might easily
reach her object on the Bosporus and
support Italy and the Slavs when the In
evitable question of the Austrian succes
sion arises. In this way the threatening
imperialism of Germany would be
quenched and the European equilibrium
would be safeguarded, a thing which Is
necessary for the Influence with the Uni
ted States in the Pacific
"However, to be able to direct the Rus
s!an politics to these far distant but nat
ural ana possible aims, it Is necessary
nrst to clear the Russian Foreign Offlco
of German traditions and personnel and
have true diplomatists like WItte. and
not clock diplomatists, in charge of Rus
sla's foreign policy, all of which will be
more difficult than was the conclusion of
peace with Japan,"
TIME FIXED FOR EVACUATION
Russians Given Eighteen Months to
Get Out of Manchuria.
PORTSMOUTH. N H.. Sept 4. (Spe
cial.) a clause has been added to the
treaty which provides the armies shall
have IS months In which to evacuate
Manchuria, This decision was reached
only after the fullest discussion. Mili
tary experts with the commission pro
duced data to uphold their claim that
It would be a physical Impossibility for
the earlier withdrawal of the enor
mous forces now in the field. The desire
of the envoys was to remove the armltts
at as early a dato as possible, but they
became convinced the portion taken
by the experts was correct and decided
accordingly.
It comes from authority of undoubt
ed reliability that the Russians will
be permitted to maintain a railway
guard of approximately ten men to
about .i mile, or a total of from 15.000
to 20,000 in Manchuria. The Japanese
are given the right of policing Man

added to the treaty.

PASTOR PAYS HIS TRIBUTE
Signal Services Rendered the Civil
ized World by the President.
KBW YORK. Sept. 3. Rev. Donald
Sage Mackay. pastor of the Fifth Avenue
Collegiate Church, during the course of
his sermon today took occasion to pay a
tribute to President Roosevelt, -who- for
30 years has been a member of this
Dutch Reformed congregation. Mr. Mac
kay said:
"Inasmuch as our President. Theodore
Roosevelt, made profession of his faith in
this church 30 years ago, and has been
ever since a loyal member. It seems only
fitting that here this morning -we record
our profound appreciation of the signal
service which he has rendered to the
whole civilized world by his masterful
and unwearied efforts In securing peace
between Russia, and Japan. Not only In
the magnificent work consummated last
week hap President Roosevelt added en
during luster to his own name, but he
has also given a new influence to America
as the arbiter of peace In the councils of
the nations.
"More and more will other powers look
to this country for the peaceful adjust
ment of International difficulties In the
light of what our President has accom
plished in ending this bloody and disas
trous war. "We rejoice with Russia and
Japan In concluding a peace which will
mean something better and more per
manent than cessation from bloodshed.
"The President's splendid service will
be but half accomplished If It is not
recognized by all the great powers as a
means of bringing about an alliance that
will safeguard the interests of peace and
Christian civilization In the Far East for
many years."
Wltte Iilkcned to Roosevelt.
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 3. The
Grashdlni says':
"In the advent of peace as the result of
the conference at Portsmouth, European
diplomacy steps back to give place to
the practical, sound, commonsenso dip
lomacy exemplified by President Roose
velt. Mr. WItte Is the same type of
man as Mr. Roosevelt. The latter under
stood the Russian plenipotentiary and
came to his assistance In time of need,
but the success of the conference was
entirely due to the President. Mr. WItte
mads a good Impression on the Ameri
cans, and this helped him in his work"
Gives Roosevelt All Credit.
BERLIN, Sept. X United States Con
gressman Smith, of Michigan, was one
of Emperor William's guests at dinner
Saturday night. During a conversation
of about 15 minutes with Mr. Smith after

peace conference at Portsmouth, saying:
'President Roosevelt alone deserves
credit for bringing about peace. He was
the only man In the world who could have
done It- He did his part splendidly."
Mr. Smith, after the dinner, wax nn.

SESSION BEGINS TODAY

Be Discussed Five Candi
dates for Commander.
DENVER. Sept. 3. The 39th annual
encampment of .he Grand Army of the
Republic will begin in this city tomor
row. The city. Is crowded with guests
and heavily-loaded trains are arriving:
at the Union Station from all direc
tions
In order to facilitate the handling
of passenger trains, the Santa Fe has
ordered all freight tralna annulled for
the next 24 hours. Other roads where
traffic is heavy are considering the ad
visability of taking- similar action.
At headquarters and in Ihe lobbies
of hotels already Irs heard the discus
sion of the election of officers and the
place of the next meeting. There are
five candidates for the office of commander-in-chief,
namely. Corporal
James Tanner of Now York; Robert
Brown, of Ohio: Colonel Burroughs, of
New Jersey.: ex-Congressman James
Burton, of Missouri, and General George
Stone, of California.
Four cities are In the race for the
1906 meeting place. They are Chatta
nooga. Tenn.; Columbus, O.; Minneapo
lis and Buffalo.
The custom of giving the office of
senior vice-commander to the city en
tertaining the encampment has
brought two candidates for that posi
tion into the field from this city. Gen
eral George W. Cook chairman of the
local encampment executive commit
tee, and U. S. Holllster.
Some of the Important business to
be considered by the encampment In
its secret sessions which begin on
Thursday morning will he proposed
changes In the constitution and rec
ommendations to the Congressional
committee. The latter will be aeked
to endeavor to have. Congress pass a
new service pension bill that will have
no age limit. One proposal is to pen
sion veterans of the Civil War. whether
injured or not. on a per diem basis;
that is to say. a certain amount for
each day of service.
There is a proposal under considera
tion to change the constitution so as
to provide for a new office, that of a
patriotic instructor. Each post will
have an Instructor of this kind, whose
duty it will be to officiate In the public
schools as a teacher of patriotism. A
department official, to be created, will
have supervision of the post Instruc
tors and a National officer will be In
supreme authority over all of them.
Each shall have an insignia of office.
Another proposed constitutional
amendment is one changing the ratio
of representation in the National en
campment from one representative for
every 750 members to one for every 500
members, and still another process to
make it obligatory upon posts to sus
pend members in arrears for 12 months
when two months' notification has been
given.
Leaders are urging their comrades to
work to get tho more than 300,000 vet
erans who are not G. A. R. members
to affiliate. In this way, they assert,
the great decrease in membership
through mortality can be met for the
present.

He wore It at the services at the Euclid
Avenue Baptist Church this morning
With his altered appearance he was
scarcely recognized. At the door he was
welcomed heartily, as all newcomers to
the church are, and the Invitation to at

personage with the steel-gray hair really

The wig Itself Is not an elaborate af
fair. It Is steel gray In color, suitable to
a man of Mr. Rockefeller's age. "More
over, it is plebeian In the manner of part

a perceptible space between the two where
only the morning air held full sway. The
absolute lack of the least hint of hair
