Senator William Drury happened to be standing In front of the bridge olllce. Ho was acquainted with Mayor Kirkendall and Mayor Weaver, and they naturally turned to him for directions. The Senator promptly led the way from the station platform upstairs to the ladies- waiting room, which was the most convenient and suitable place that could be secured on the spur of the moment, being at once comfortable and capable of being protected without much difficulty. Here the President and his party spent the time from 6:55 until 7:30. Dozens of special officers were on hand to protect them from the throngs of people who had gathered at the station, the news of the President's arrival having spread like wildfire through the city. There were only a few hundred present when the party arrived, but when they departed, half an hour later, the station was surrounded by an enthusiastic body of 5,000 people—men, women and children—and the reception that wus accorded the President was nothing short of an ovation. Officers who accompanied the President guarded him as carefully as at any time during the day. Secret service men, in plain clothes, were at the door of the waiting room, and no person was given entrance until his Identity was known to some one in the party. Nevertheless, several dozen well known citizens were given the privilege of entering the waiting room to greet the President and he received them most cordially. He was in the best of though undoubtedly fatigued by the hard programme of the day, yet he had a few kindly words of greeting for each man, and chatted happily with the people in the waiting room, sometimes sitting down and telling a story to a group of eager listeners. The President's son and nephews came in for their full share of attention and they were also introduced to the Pittston people present.

The conference adjourned to await the czar's answer. Chautauqua, N. Y.. Aug. 11.—The President and his party arrived in Chautauqua in a driving rain storm at 8:25 o'clock and took carriages to Hlggins' hail, where breakfast was served. The young ladies of the department of domestic science cooked the meal and acted as waiters. Kach was dressed in white with a cap fashioned from an American flag. There were lUR guests at breakfast, including the President and his party. Philadelphia, Aug. 11.—Warrants for the arrest of three election officers and the assessor In the 18th division of Phantoinvllle—the Thic(J ward—were obtained by the Committee of Seventy yesterday. Wilful fraud In permitting repeaters to vote in the February election is the general charge against James Bradley, judgb of election; David Oliver and Charles Cuff, Inspectors. David A. Hayes, the assessor, is accused of having "padded" the registry list. Cuff was the only man arrested last night. "Our flag," he said, "is a symbol of happiness and freedom. It imposes responsibility, but if anything goes wrong you have only yourselves to blame for It. Self government works well when we have a high type of citizenship. The way to be a good citizen is to be a good man or woman in your homes." HIS COMING WAS NOT ANNOUNCED, BUT 5,000 PEOPLE GATHERED The Russians were surprised ut the moderation of Japan's demands. The impossible conditions which it bad been feared would preclude further discussion were absent. This is not to sny that the demands are such as Russia can accept, but only that there Is nothing about them -which shows the uselessness of further consideration.

They will Include foreigners who have no right to vote, but whose names, it is alleged by the Committee of Seventy, were adopted by repeaters who were permitted by the election officers to swell the gang's majority. The presidential train also stopped at Philiipsburg, just across the Delaware river In New Jersey. At Phillipsburg he said: "They are terms which can be discussed," was the way one of the Russians put It." "Put down the top," he said to the driver. "I want to see, the rain won't hurt me." Within ten minutes after starting the President's silk hat was as wet as though it had been dipped In the Chautauqua lake. "1 want to say a special word to the railroad men. You men who do your work in connection with the railways of the country typify to a peculiar degree Che qualities that we need In American citizenship. We like to think that the average American is a man who is willing to work hard and to take risks. That is just what a railroad man has to do, and has to ibe willing to do. We like to think that tho average American knows how to do work by himself and yet to work In combination with others. That is just what the average railroad man has to do.

That is what the railway man The feature of the demands which most agreenbl.v surprised the Russians was the matter of indemnity. That, it had been feared, would prove the chief stumbling block, for Russia is not willing even to consider a punitive Indemnity.Henry D. Parham, of the Committee of Seventy, swore to the affidavit, which set forth that the election officers were guilty of willful fraud in conspiring to receive unlawfully the votes of persons not qualified, of conspiring to make and making a false return, and of failing to require proof of qualifications. Assessor Haye» is accused of "knowingly assessing persons not qualified to vote." After the assemblage sanp "The .Star Spangled Manner," the President asked for "Dixie," which was given with a will by the chorus. "Now let's give the President the salute," said Bishop Vincent after he he had told the audience how glad he was that the President had consented to address them all, as the President rose smilingly from his seat at the front of the platform. Seven thousand white handkerchiefs leaped Into view. Seven thousand hands raised them partially while seven thousand voices cheered. i. . • i .

The Japanese simply asked that Russia should nssent to the principle that a money indemnity should be paid and that, this point being conceded, the amount of the indemnity should become a subject for discussion between the envoys. ♦ In th'e meantime the Increasing throng of people outside the station, on the platform, were clamoring for a peek at the President. Cries of "Speech," ".Speech," rang through the air and there was no end of cheering.1 The President was evidently disinclined to deliver another address, but ho willingly showed himself at one of the windows, smiling and bowing In his characteristic manner. This was the signal for great cheering, and the crowd grew nvore enthusiastic as the time approached for the President's departure. The telegraph wires between Pittston and Wilkesbarre had been kept warm, and the President's party had not been here many minutes before a s]Declal car bearing several dozen deputy sheriffs and other officers reached the station.

The first stop made by the President after leaving Pittston was at Sayre, Pa., where for a minute or two the President addressed a large crowd assembled at the station. Ho spoke from the rear platform of his car and was given an enthusiastic greeting. The crowd numbered quite 3,000. It was hanked on both sides of the railroad tracks for a long distance in the rear of the train. Fireworks illuminated the demonstration. The President delivered a brief speech at East Waverly, N.

The train approached slowly, coniitig to a dead stop several hundred yards below the station and there awaiting a signal that was given a moment later that everything was in readiness. But a few minutes were occupied in embarking the party. First came the secret service men, as usual, followed by the President, who stepped lightly, despite his heavy physique, and then, one by one, after being closely scrutinized by the secret ser* vice men at the car gate, the members of the party were admitted to the car. One thoughtless fellowtried to get a better view of the President by climbing on the railing at the end of the last car, but he was unceremoniously bounced by an officer. All this time there was a repetition of the cheering that ha-d marked the President's stay in the waiting room. There were more cries of "Speech," "Speeah," but to no'avuil. Just as the conductor pulled the bell cord for the starting signal, President ltoosevelt appeared on the rear platform, with his broad smile and beaming countenance, waving his hands to the assembled crowd, which went wild with delight. In another moment the truln disappeared around the bend in the road, and the good-natured crowd dispersed.

When the Gazette suggested in last evening's issue that Pittston people had been lax In not endeavoring to have President Roosevelt drive from Wyoming through West Pittston and take his special train in this city, it little dreamed that its wish was to come true. Realized It was, however, for that is exactly what the President did, and It was the greatest surprise of a day full of big events for the populace of the Wyoming Valley. It 1? hardly possible that if our poople had asked the President to drive to this city from Wyoming he or the Wilkesbarre people would have consented to make that a feature of the day's programme. Put what could not have been secured In advance was brought about naturally as a result of circumstances, and Pittston people had the honor of entertaining the head of the nation for more than half an hour out of the four hours that he was In the valley. No official explanation of the change in the programme has been given out, but it is understood that the coming of the Prtrsident to Pittston was as much of a surprise to the Wilkesbarreans as it was to our people. The President's train was sidetracked north of Kast Market street, Wilkesbarre, while the celebration at the county seat was in progress. Thousands of people crowded about the during the few hours that It remained there. The exterior was closely inspected and many people made efforts to Induce the attendants to permit them to go inside, but they met with emphatic refusals. As the time set for the President's departure approached, an Immense crowd gathered around the Wilkesbarre station and patiently waited for an hour or more to catch another glimpse of the President. 'Suddenly, about 7 o'clock, the special train was seen pulling northward and then it was realized that a change had been made in the plans. was headed northward Instead of southward. The journey to this city was without particular incident. As a matter of fact, few people along the route were out to see the President pass, not being aware that he would come to their very doors. Thus many people missed a most excellent opportunity to see him. These officials, who were brought here for the express purpose of advising the Russian commissioners on Just such matters, were summoned to the navy yard by M. Witte as soon as he had received the Japauese demands, and their opinions, as well as M. Wltte's, were cabled to the czar. SPECIAL NOTICES. Fresh vegetables at Messlck's.

Ice cream, wholesale & retail. MofFattk Fruits and vegetables at Messlck's. Plttston people were equally oblivious of the honor and privilege that was to be accorded them through the stress of circumstances. The President's party passed up Wyoming avenue and out Laizerne avenue, crossing the Water street bridge. Meanwhile, Plttston people in carriages, though behind the Presidential party when they left Wyoming, had cut across side street and eame across the bridge in advance of the distinguished guests. They gave out the news that the President was coining. Even then the people who heard the announcement received it as a hoax. Such was not the plan and they could not realize that plans are often changed. It was nearing 7 o'clock by this time and people were gathering in the vicinity of the Water street station, in anticipation of seeing the President's train pass through. These were to be the favored ones. Collector W. H. Young came'out of the bridge office as four men on horseback approached, followed by half a dozen carriages. He j was expecting to collect toll from t'he pa'rty when It suddonly dawned on him and the few bystanders that It was the President's party. That was the time he missed his toll. Four special secret officers came first, followed by the President's carriage. On the box with the driver was the secret service man who acted as body guard to the President. Somebody said he was all eyes, and the statement was undoubtedly true. With the President in the first carriage were Mayor Fred. C. Klrkendall, of Wllkesbarre, Mayor Weaver, of Philadelphia, and President John Mitchell. The second carriage contained the Roosevelt boys, while the others conveyed Bishop Hoban and other clergy, John Mitchell's stall of district officers, newspapermen and others composing the parly accompanying the President on the trip. The party without delay drove down the station driveway to the pjatform. Several hundred people had gathered by this time, and they were quickly surrounding the President's carriage, but the secret service men had things well In hand. They kept the road clear in front of the President, and one man who delayed to step a way from the path was hustled away so rapidly that he didn't know what happened to htm. When the President and his party reached the platform, they were At sea. No arrangements had been ipade to re: celve thom in this city. Not a Hag was flying and life entry of the party The note containing the Japanese demands was short, und the points were stated tersely. The Russians went to the conference in the full conviction that they were to receive a long document containing demands of such a nature that the prolongation of the conference would be seen at once to be useless. While they expect to contest the demands, they arc pleased that their first supposition proved to be unfounded.20 per cent discount on all goods at The moment Mr. ltoosevelt appeared on the rear platform a deafening shout went up that was heard on this side of tho river. The ovation lasted for some time, and those anxious to hear the President began to fear that the prolonged applause would prevent the chief executive from saying a word, but a commanding motion from the President brought immediate silence and he proceeded to occupy Yaseen's Jewelry Store, When the train began to move there »was a volley of choers and the school children sang the "Star Spangled Banner."

There were only a few hundred present when the party arrived, but when they departed, half an hour later, the station was surrounded by an enthusiastic body of 5,000 people—men, women and children—and the reception that wus accorded the President was nothing short of an ovation. Officers who accompanied the President guarded him as carefully as at any time during the day. Secret service men, in plain clothes, were at the door of the waiting room, and no person was given entrance until his Identity was known to some one in the party. Nevertheless, several dozen well known citizens were given the privilege of entering the waiting room to greet the President and he received them most cordially. He was in the best of though undoubtedly fatigued by the hard programme of the day, yet he had a few kindly words of greeting for each man, and chatted happily with the people in the waiting room, sometimes sitting down and telling a story to a group of eager listeners. The President's son and nephews came in for their full share of attention and they were also introduced to the Pittston people present.

Aug. 11.—The President and his party arrived in Chautauqua in a driving rain storm at 8:25 o'clock and took carriages to Hlggins' hail, where breakfast was served. The young ladies of the department of domestic science cooked the meal and acted as waiters. Kach was dressed in white with a cap fashioned from an American flag.

Philadelphia, Aug. 11.—Warrants for the arrest of three election officers and the assessor In the 18th division of Phantoinvllle—the Thic(J ward—were obtained by the Committee of Seventy yesterday. Wilful fraud In permitting repeaters to vote in the February election is the general charge against James Bradley, judgb of election; David Oliver and Charles Cuff, Inspectors. David A. Hayes, the assessor, is accused of having "padded" the registry list. Cuff was the only man arrested last night. "Our flag," he said, "is a symbol of happiness and freedom. It imposes responsibility, but if anything goes wrong you have only yourselves to blame for It. Self government works well when we have a high type of citizenship. The way to be a good citizen is to be a good man or woman in your homes." HIS COMING WAS NOT ANNOUNCED, BUT 5,000 PEOPLE GATHERED The Russians were surprised ut the moderation of Japan's demands. The impossible conditions which it bad been feared would preclude further discussion were absent. This is not to sny that the demands are such as Russia can accept, but only that there Is nothing about them -which shows the uselessness of further consideration.

The presidential train also stopped at Philiipsburg, just across the Delaware river In New Jersey. At Phillipsburg he said: "They are terms which can be discussed," was the way one of the Russians put It." "Put down the top," he said to the driver. "I want to see, the rain won't hurt me." Within ten minutes after starting the President's silk hat was as wet as though it had been dipped In the Chautauqua lake. "1 want to say a special word to the railroad men.

Cries of "Speech," ".Speech," rang through the air and there was no end of cheering.1 The President was evidently disinclined to deliver another address, but ho willingly showed himself at one of the windows, smiling and bowing In his characteristic manner. This was the signal for great cheering, and the crowd grew nvore enthusiastic as the time approached for the President's departure.

Ho spoke from the rear platform of his car and was given an enthusiastic greeting. The crowd numbered quite 3,000. It was hanked on both sides of the railroad tracks for a long distance in the rear of the train. Fireworks illuminated the demonstration. The President delivered a brief speech at East Waverly, N.

The train approached slowly, coniitig to a dead stop several hundred yards below the station and there awaiting a signal that was given a moment later that everything was in readiness. But a few minutes were occupied in embarking the party. First came the secret service men, as usual, followed by the President, who stepped lightly, despite his heavy physique, and then, one by one, after being closely scrutinized by the secret ser* vice men at the car gate, the members of the party were admitted to the car. One thoughtless fellowtried to get a better view of the President by climbing on the railing at the end of the last car, but he was unceremoniously bounced by an officer. All this time there was a repetition of the cheering that ha-d marked the President's stay in the waiting room. There were more cries of "Speech," "Speeah," but to no'avuil. Just as the conductor pulled the bell cord for the starting signal, President ltoosevelt appeared on the rear platform, with his broad smile and beaming countenance, waving his hands to the assembled crowd, which went wild with delight.

When the Gazette suggested in last evening's issue that Pittston people had been lax In not endeavoring to have President Roosevelt drive from Wyoming through West Pittston and take his special train in this city, it little dreamed that its wish was to come true. Realized It was, however, for that is exactly what the President did, and It was the greatest surprise of a day full of big events for the populace of the Wyoming Valley. It 1? hardly possible that if our poople had asked the President to drive to this city from Wyoming he or the Wilkesbarre people would have consented to make that a feature of the day's programme. Put what could not have been secured In advance was brought about naturally as a result of circumstances, and Pittston people had the honor of entertaining the head of the nation for more than half an hour out of the four hours that he was In the valley. No official explanation of the change in the programme has been given out, but it is understood that the coming of the Prtrsident to Pittston was as much of a surprise to the Wilkesbarreans as it was to our people. The President's train was sidetracked north of Kast Market street, Wilkesbarre, while the celebration at the county seat was in progress. Thousands of people crowded about the during the few hours that It remained there. The exterior was closely inspected and many people made efforts to Induce the attendants to permit them to go inside, but they met with emphatic refusals. As the time set for the President's departure approached, an Immense crowd gathered around the Wilkesbarre station and patiently waited for an hour or more to catch another glimpse of the President. 'Suddenly, about 7 o'clock, the special train was seen pulling northward and then it was realized that a change had been made in the plans. was headed northward Instead of southward. The journey to this city was without particular incident. As a matter of fact, few people along the route were out to see the President pass, not being aware that he would come to their very doors. Thus many people missed a most excellent opportunity to see him. These officials, who were brought here for the express purpose of advising the Russian commissioners on Just such matters, were summoned to the navy yard by M. Witte as soon as he had received the Japauese demands, and their opinions, as well as M. Wltte's, were cabled to the czar. SPECIAL NOTICES. Fresh vegetables at Messlck's.

Plttston people were equally oblivious of the honor and privilege that was to be accorded them through the stress of circumstances. The President's party passed up Wyoming avenue and out Laizerne avenue, crossing the Water street bridge. Meanwhile, Plttston people in carriages, though behind the Presidential party when they left Wyoming, had cut across side street and eame across the bridge in advance of the distinguished guests. They gave out the news that the President was coining. Even then the people who heard the announcement received it as a hoax. Such was not the plan and they could not realize that plans are often changed. It was nearing 7 o'clock by this time and people were gathering in the vicinity of the Water street station, in anticipation of seeing the President's train pass through. These were to be the favored ones. Collector W. H. Young came'out of the bridge office as four men on horseback approached, followed by half a dozen carriages. He j was expecting to collect toll from t'he pa'rty when It suddonly dawned on him and the few bystanders that It was the President's party. That was the time he missed his toll. Four special secret officers came first, followed by the President's carriage. On the box with the driver was the secret service man who acted as body guard to the President. Somebody said he was all eyes, and the statement was undoubtedly true. With the President in the first carriage were Mayor Fred. C. Klrkendall, of Wllkesbarre, Mayor Weaver, of Philadelphia, and President John Mitchell. The second carriage contained the Roosevelt boys, while the others conveyed Bishop Hoban and other clergy, John Mitchell's stall of district officers, newspapermen and others composing the parly accompanying the President on the trip. The party without delay drove down the station driveway to the pjatform. Several hundred people had gathered by this time, and they were quickly surrounding the President's carriage, but the secret service men had things well In hand. They kept the road clear in front of the President, and one man who delayed to step a way from the path was hustled away so rapidly that he didn't know what happened to htm.
