THREE NATIONS JOIN FOR PEACE

Arbitration Treaties with Great Britain and France Signed. SIMPLE,IMPRESSIVEGEREMONY Secretary Knox, Ambassador Bryce and Viscount De Saint Phalle by Signatures Give Validity to State Papers.

Washington, Aug. 4. —On the wall of President Taft's study in the White House hangs a large picture in oil of M. Jules Carabon, former ambassador to this eountry from France, signing the protocol which ended the Span-ish-American war At the side of the French ambassador, looking out from the frame with careworn face, stands the figure of President McKinley. Opposite this impressibe picture a few hours ago was standing another president, this one smiling in life, his hand resting on a table surrounded by representaives of three great powers. The dead canvas on the w r all told its story of war ended; the scene being er.acted at the opposite side of the room marked the formal pledging by France, Great Britain and the United States of their faith in the substitution of arbitration for bloodshed in the settlement of disputes. To the twenty persons who had gathered in the room to witness the signing of these most important conventions between the United States and Great Briain end between the United States nnd France the contrast between the living and the dead, the new and the old, presented a scene not to be soon forgotten. The two treaties —the first of their kind ever entered into between any two nations of the world, were signed shortly after 3 p. m. The informality and simplicity of the ceremony added to its impressiveness. Copies of the treaties were lying on the president’s study table as Mr. Taft and Se r ret?ry Knox and »ne representatives of the two European governments entered the room.

Secretary Knox and the Right Hon. James Bryce, ambassador from England, seated themselves on opposite sides of the table. Mr. Taft stood oh Secretary Knox’s right and near him were Viscount de Saint Phaile, vice consul of the French government at New York, and Second - Secretary j Ovey of the British embassy, who witnessed the signatures of their governments. Chandler Anderson, counsellor cf the state department, and Sidney Smith, chief cf the diplomatic bureau, were also in the group about the table, while ranged about the room were a dozen or more officials and newspa--1 per men.

Secretary Knox had provided a special pen for the occasion, but Mr. Biyce picked up one" at random and, finding its point not to his liking, rear bed for another. Then he bent over, the treaty and Secretary Knox followed his example. There was no other sound in the room as the pens scratched over the parchment. Mr. Bryce laid bis pen down first, nodded in his quiet way and extended his lii.nd to the president. Mr. Taft grasped it heartily. Mr. Knox then laid aside the copy of the Anglo-American treaty and nodded to Viscount De Saint Phalle. The latter moved up closer to the desk and witnessed the signing as Mr. Knox's pen scrawled over the second document. Again a broad smile appeared upen Mr. Taft’s face and he turned toward the French representative. This time the president was congratulated with an impressive bow. The administration is hopeful of action on the treaties at this session. ’Xmbassador Jusserand signed the French copy of the Franco-American treaty in Paris. Negotiations are now under way for the adoption of similar treaties with Germany, Italy and the Netherlands.

PORT All PRINCE HELD RY. REBELS

Two Rival Revolutionary Forces in Haytian Capital. SIMON BOIINf FOR JAMAICA Overthrown President Gets Aboard American Schooner Bradford C French by Mistake, but Is Not Molested.

Port an Prince, Haytl, Aug. 4. —As the commander of the Haytien gunboat 17 Decembre refused to permit him on board of that vessel, President Simon took a hurried leave of his country and is now on board the American schooner Bradford C. French. He is awaiting a steamer. The capital of the black republic is now occupied by two rival revolutionary forces, one commanded by General Cincinnstus Leconte, who was minister of the interior, and the other I by General An tenor Firmin, who was the Haytien minister to the court of. St James. Some of the revolutionary troop*' started to pillage in the early hours of the morning and several were shot, as the commanders had given their word to the diplomatic corps that the capital would not be sacked. It is explained that Simon went aboard the little American schooner by mistake. He wished to go aboard 1 the United States scout cruiser Ches- j ter, but when he got alongside was instructed to go aboard the Des j Moines. He did not understand and j went to the French. But he French is • under the guns of the Chester, so there ' is little likelihood that the overthrown i executive will be molested by the fol- j lowers of either of the revolutionary j leaders. The safety of the city is in the hands of a public safety committee composed of Leeontists and neutrals, and they! have had some work to do. A mob at- ( tacked the American schooner John; Paul, made fast o a pier, believing that political refugees were on board. 1 The mob was dispersed by the com-1 raittee. No armed forces have been landed by any of the five United States war vessels in Haytien waters, though the Cerman cruiser Bremen landed a party of forty marines. Simon is reported to be going to Kingston, Jamaica.
