SENATOR CARTER'S FINE ITALIAN HAND APPARENT IN REPORT.
Th Keoablie ltarau.
Wratt UulMicr. lth and P Sstrr-ts.
Washlr.ctcn. Sept. 1. The Br.al report of
the Koul?2aa Purchase Epo?tion Com
mission, covering in detail every pliss ot
tbe work done by that bo-ly. was made
public to-day br State Department
official.- The report contains not leu
than KMlOOO word", and in some of Its
features Is severe criticism of the Exposi
tion management.
The National CommU5r.n dors nothesl
tate to, criticise the Bxpn-!tion mtnage
ment for its policy In regard to exploita
tion, ard declares that Its failure to ap
preciate what can be don In this direction
was responsible for a smaller attendance
than should have been secured for an en
terprise .so worthy In all respects.
rOMMISSlOX SAVS
THAT IT WAS ICOBED.
In the matter of award?, which was a
direct lsvio betwwn tht National Com
mission and the local management, the
commission asserts that It has been ig
nored and seeks to throw all responsibili
ty and criticism on the local management.
The National Commission makes the
charge that in the salvage all bidders
were Ignored except thi Chicago Houso
Wrecking Cnainy. which finally secured
the contract- for all the work, and sup
ports these statements with numerous af
fidavits. The report is signed by John M. Thurs
ton, the ex-Senator from Nebraska, who
was president ct the commission when It
was rendered. But throughout the re
port shows the earmarks of Senator
Thomas H. Carter, who was president of
the commission until a fi-w months before
It expired.
The exposition Itself, from every view
point. Is commended In the most extrava
gant manner, but aijarently not an op
portunity was lest to criticise the local
management.
ST. LOllHIi HOSPITAMTT
BIKHLT COMMEXDEO.
The report concludes with a tribute to
the devotion and enterprise of the people
of St. Uui. "With great generosity and
enterprise," says the National Commis
sion, "their homes were thrown open to
visitors, and there can be no doubt that
the millions who came to bee the Expos!
took away with them abiding and affec
tionate remembrances of the universal
consideration and courtesy shown them."
In discuslng the exploitation of the Ex
position, the local management is severely
criticised. The report says:
"The Exposition management did aot
elect to avail Itself of the co-operation of
the National Commission tn the mutter of
exploitation, but shortly after a letter of
criticism was delivered, the advertising
department became more active by adver
tising in the newspapers and by the use
of billboards .In St. Iouls and the ad
jacent territory.
The National Bill Posters Association,
which met tn St. Louis abeat that taw,
observing the Inadequacy of tbe provi
sion made for advertising, volunteered to
co-operate with the Expoaltloa company
by posting bills aa their boards Cms f
charge throughout aa exUastve ares.

-The fact that thai was a dlaagreemeat

thereupon the flies of the i wmnilealsB were

hibitors cfcarglng fraud and favorttlem
and aattac for taforreataan as to the status
of the awards tn the eveat of eertlacates
of awards being loaned without the ap
proval of the commission.
"The situation was aggravated by tre
fact that a concern known as The Official
Klnbon Company ictlng under a con-cs-slt.n
from th Ex'xsitton C.impany, was
disposing of ribbons certlflnc. ovr th
signatures of the President and the Di
rector of Exhibits of the Exposition Com
pany, that awards hd b

holders of the specltlc e thlbita therein

"Judging from the lettrs recclve.1 by th

ife-rlju. Srpt. 1. Forty-three cases of
cholera in all have been reported. Nine
persons have died from the disease, and
many suspicious cases arc under obser
vation. The legal and medical machinery
for dealing with this invasion of the
Asiatic bacillus Is now working at full
pressure.
Professor Edward Sonuenturg said to
the Associated Press; to-night that no one
need fear un epidemic such as that of
ISSC-Si because the health officers since
that time have built tip an organization
quite adequate to grasp the beginnings of
cholera, and tn put down the disease with
precision and firmness.
The health machinery to which Profes
sor Sonnenburg alluded la working In co
operation with the police and other pub
lie services. With the exception of one
death at Hamburg, the cholera la confined

A doubt, almost amounting to convic

which confronts the authorities hern.

When It became known that Mr Rum

the membership of the club began to cast

Just now. when there I much talk of
changes In leadership, n glance at the
complexion of the City Committee is par
ticularly Interesting. Two recent meet
ings at the Jefferson Club have shown
that the old Jefferson Club leadership Is
possessed of a dominating strength, while
certain wards have Indicated a survival
of other control. One of the best equipped
politicians In town yesterday raid that the
line-up looked to htm something like this:
Wards In which friends of Hawes con

Will m.u kindly hold my baby until I
can check tuy lagcager politely asked a
fashionably dressed young woman of Mrs.
IJltlan Owen of New Albany. Ind.. who
was sitting with Mrs Motile McConaack
of Cincinnati in the second-class waiting
room at ITnlon Station yesterday morning.
Mrs. Owens consented. After dramatical
ly kissing the little one severaltlmes the
woman hurried away toward the baggage
room. She never returned. The baby Is
being cared for at the Bctbesda Home at
No. 3C1 Vista avenue.
Mrs. Own and Mrs. McCormaek were
In the waltlns-room at 11SM o'clock awaH
Inc the announcement of the departure of
their train for Denver. Colo., at 2 o'clock.
The strange woman came up to them un
notlcd. She was an attractive brunette,
with every evidence of refinement. She
wore a perfect! r fitted white duck sulband
a large white picture hat. trimmed with a
white plume of unusual she. Apparently
she was suffering great mental strain and
her excited manner attracts the attention
of the women who sat before her. The
woman earned a small satchel.
Mrs. Owen and Mr. McCormaek re
marked to each other, after her de
parture, about the woman's unnatural ac
tions, but neither thought anything of the
incident until later.
FRUITLESS SEARCH.
Then It occurreJ to Mrs. Owen that she
had been vlctlmlxed. She hurried to Ser
Keant Dave Fields and Patrolman Andy
McClellan and told them her story- Pa
trolman MeClellan walked up and oowa
the midway caressing the little girl, while
Sergeant Fields searched' the station for
her mother. He looked everywhere, going
throueh every departing train, but no one
answering the description of the child's
mother eould be foand.
Patrolman McCletlan kept the child at
the station for an hour longer, thinking
the mother might return and claim her.
but no mamma mine. Sergeant Fields told
the patrolman to take the child to th
Ilethesila Home. Mrs. Owen and Mrs. Mc
Cormaek. after thoroughly convincing Ser
geant Fields of the truthfulness of their
rtory. departed for Denver at 2 o'clock.
On the street car Patrolman McCleUan
end the abatu'or.ed baby attracted much
attention. Several of the women passen
Brs crowded around the big policeman
and went Into ecstasies over the child's
l..uty and Its fine clothing. Two offered
to adoi,t the girl, but Patrolman McClel
lan Informed thtm that he did not have
authority to permit them to do so.
At the home the nurses Instantly bream-
atteched to the chtM. One declared
that it was the most beautiful baby that
had be-n entered there. Its clothing was
of quality ieMoa seen In that metltutlou.
The chill was clothed In a white dress of
nat d'sien. The trimmings were of the
finest handmade Torchon lace. Her black
hair was hidden from viw by a rllk cap.
The wcma-i dt scribal hy Mrs. Osea and
Mrs. sicCormack was seen by several of
the station en iloyes. One hi sure that
she lives in the western part of the city.
He doe not know her naate. bat says be

Portsmouth. X. H.. Sept. I.-As a result
of the reports made to-night by Mr. De
Martens and Mr. Dennlson to their re
spective chiefs on their work this after
noon at the navy yard In the drafting nf
a treaty of peace. Mr. Wittc and Baron
Komura had a brief conference In the
former's apartments at M o'clock to
night regarding some details of transla
tion aad the few points of interpretation
upon which the f rimers had been unable
to reach complete accord.
: When Baron Komnra left Mr. Dennlson
and Mr. Adachl he entered the apartments
of Mr. WItte. where they were joined by
Mr. Do Marten. and Mr. Plancon. Tills
conference lasted about half an hour.
when the Japar .ae returned to Baron Ko
mura apartments. leaving Mr. WItte ami
his conferees, who remained In conference
for more than an hour.
Mr. WItte and Baron Komura had no
dwBculty In coming to an agreement on
the disputed points, and at to-morrow's
sessloa the framers of the treaty expect
to complete their work. The treaty must
then be engrossed In French and English,
in -duplicate, which may take several days.
ARMISTICE SIGNED
BT PLENIPOTENTIARIES
Aa armistice was signed to-day tn take
effect after the treaty of peace lias been
ratified.
Technically, the formal cessation of hos
tilities arranged tn-dav Is an "armt'tice"
Inasmuch as It is temporary, pending the
final exchange of ratifications
WItte thought an armistice should r
Into effect Immediately, and argued that
to postpone the cessation of ho-ltilltiee
would be without precedent. Nevertheless.
Komura Insisted and WItte yielded.
