SHANGHAI, Nov. l. - Japanese war
ships were sighted off Wei Hai-Wei Sun
day, and the Chinese fleet went out in
pursuit. Not finding the enemy, the
Chinese feet returned and left Wei Hal
Wei again Wednesday, its destination be-
ing unknown. The only foreigners with
the fleet are two engineers and two gun

several Russian frontier towns, and in

milton. In another case the Chinese were
repulsed with the loss of sixty men.
MIKADO'S HEADQUARTERS AT HIRO
SHIMA.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The Japan war
news received at the legation gives
graphic descriptions of the Emperors 8
headquarters at Hiroshima, and of the
enthusiasm with which the war prepara-
tions are made. The imperial headquar-
ters are in an old wooden building, two
stories high. formerly used as an army
barracks. The rooms are small and
scantily furnished. The Emperor occu-
pies the upper floor, while the lower
story is used by the council of war. The
Emperorsrises at o'clock and does not

that goes on, and has proved to be an in
defatigable worker.
All the barracks and quarters near by
are full of soldiers. There is constant
rattle and clank of cannon, horses, guns
and sabers. The streets are lined with
flags and lanterns. The soldiers as they
move on are cheered by enthusiastic
crowds. The spirit of humbling China
to the dust is everywhere manifest, and
the japanese, without exception, regard
the result as beyond the slightest doubt.
The unanimity for war is shown by
the printed declaration of the Vaishinto
party, which hitherto has resisted the
Government. 1t announces the chastise-
ment of China as the first and para
mount duty of Japan. It gives its sup
port to all war measures, and says it
will resist any proposition of peace un-
til China is humbled and the objects OF
the war is attained.
The full text OF the Emperor's decree,
establishing pensions for distinguished
services is printed. The pensions range
from 900 yen to 65 yen per annum. accord
ing to the service, and are divided into
seven classes. In case of death the
widow or orphans Of the deceased are to
receive the pension.

been for '94. Wheels that have mas.

THE DEATH PENALTY.
pute.

We give place today to another COM
munication on the subject of the death
penalty. It has both a general and a
special application. It is intended to
influence the public mind against law
full homicide, with view to the aboli-
ton of the death penalty for murder,
and to strengthen the Governor in any
inclinations he may have to pardon the
convict who is now under sentence sof
death.
Taking up the latter first, we repeat
what we have intimated before: that
the Executive ought not to. be affected
in any way-nor do we believe that he
will be-by arguments or theories as to
the right or wrong Of capital punish
ment. He has nothing to do with the
question Of whether capital punishment
is barbaric or civilized, good or evil to
society, or pleasing or shocking to Gull
tivated sensibilities. The pardoning
power is not vested in the Executive
on any such dubieties. If it can be
shown that the verdict was contrary
to the evidence, or that new light has
come as to the innocence of the Gull
prit, or that there are mitigating cir
cumstances which ought to have
weight sufficient to justify the Cover
nor in extending clemency. that is an
other and altogether. different thing.
We do not attribute to our present
correspondent the maudlin sympathy
which softens some people as soon as
a murderer is condemned, and which
seems to be entirely suppressed as to
his victim or the living sufferers from
his crime. The article which we now
criticize is free from that folly which
carries flowers to an assassin and weeps
over the just fate of brute red-handed
with human blood. 1t is fair and
temperate discussion Of the wrongful
ness of capital punishment, and is
therefore worthy OF consideration.
But there are some points in it that
to US dc not seem to be well taken. 1t
does not follow, because a penalty or a
custom has come down to us from re-
mote ages that it is necessarily "bar-
barism." though it may have prevailed

sons to be learned from them by those
to whom the word of McAllister in
matters social is law and gospel.
NcAilister has a letter in the New
York World of the 9Th. dated Contrex-
by saying that his experience is that
to accomplish anything in Paris you
must make use of the infiu-
Ience of titled people, How
many thousands of Americans have
been in Paris and thought they accom-
rlished something without making use
of the influence of titled people.
Now what did Mr. Ward McAllister
use the influence of titled people" foro
himself in the train leaving Paris for
Contrexville. To most Americans this
would seem an easy mater if one was
willing to pay for a compartment. At
least Mr.. Vanderbilt some years ago
was able to hire special train to carry
him. from Lyons to Paris; our re-
membrance is it was over this route.
But the story of McAllister's triumph
can only be told in McAllisters own
words:
The railroad officials assured me that
every seat in the train that I wished to
go in was taken and that ] would have
to remain four days in Paris to secure
the place I wanted. Knowing one of
the largest owners of stock of this
road, and hunting up duke, I went
with him to the chef de care, or station
master, and at once obtained all l
wanted on condition that would allow
a senator of France to occupy the
coupe with me.
1t is pleasant to record that Nc
found "the senator charming COM
panion.' Had this senator not been
charming companion the forcing of
him on Nc would have been a causus
belli. The influence of titled people
came near causing trouble because this
country won't see Nc sighted; but the
charming companionship of a French
senator averted it. Had the consideration
shown Nc been shown a Frenchman, no
Frenchman much less a French sem
ator, would have said of the women of
America what he said about the
women of France: "All the women
lack beauty I have not seen pretty
woman in France" The leader of the
Four Hundred lacks gallantry to say
the least
Nc has something to say about Lon
don society, He says:
On consulting great English au-
tf1ority on London society, / find he
takes exception to my giving the lead
ership of English society to the Ouch
ess of Devonshire, though what / said
was given to, me by a member of the
Court, no one standing higher.
No one stands higher in the court in
England than Queen Victoria, so it
must be inferred that it was she who
informed Nc that the leader of Eng
lish society is the Duchess of Devon
shire. So Nc was right after all. 1t
is plain that the great English author
ity has tripped.
Was there ever before such
an exhibition of snobbishness as
this? When such people can go
abroad and represent themselves as the
leader of New York's Four Hundred, is
it any wonder Europeans jeer at Amer
leans? McAllister is a snob of snobs,
and when all his letters are collected
and published together they will be

Commenting on Senator John P.
Jones' reputation of Republicanism,
the Pittsburg Post says: His silver
speeches, exhausHng about all there
was to be said on the free coinage side,
were remarkable for their strong pre-
sentation of facts andsarguments, and
their ability commended the senator to
thousands who rejected his conclusions.
They were hard to answer, save on the
pooh-poohing style so common with
some Of the gold standard advocates.
More thaa any other Republican leader,
or probably more than all others COM
bined. he has been able to hold the sill
yer Republicans of the West to the
party line. Now that he has gone over
to the Pcpulists, on the belief, as he
puts it, that neither of the old parties
can be relied on to promote free coin
age, he will be followed by hosts of
Republicans in the western states"
That his example will be followed by
many Republicans in the West is quite
likely. His remaining in the party so
long was to the voters of the party an
argument that there was hope for sill
yer in the Republican camp Senator
Jones' action proves beyond a doubt
that there is none.
