IT Is Expected to Reduce. Naval Opera
tions to IA Minimum.

His Expected to Reduce. Naval Opera
lions to IA Minimum.
WASHINGTON, August 12.-In speak
ing of the probabilities of the pending
war between Japan and China an Of
fetal of the Japanese legation recalled
the fact that the season of the monsoon
and the typhoon is now rapidly APP
preaching. The presence of the former
is not regarded as menace to sea ma
neuvering, but fear is felt of the latter.
The typhoon is revolving wind storm,
whose effects are disastrous. 1t Is be-
lieyed by the officials OF the legation
that the naval movements during the
typhoon season at least will be some
what circumscribed. The Chinese will
not venture great distance from their
coast, but will keep close to port. Japan,
it is thought here, will wage an agrees
siVe war against China, and some OF her
objective points, in all probability, will
be the Chinese ports. Already news
has reached here of high gales off the
Chinese coast that have compelled all
craft but the staunchest steamers to seek
shelter in port. Naval officers say that
when the dreaded typhoon sets in there
is nothing to do but to run from It,.
When vessels are not sunk by the ty-
phoon they are frequently driven TAR
out OF their course so it will be seen that
naval operations between Japan and
China are likely to be conducted at great
risk. For this reason the operations of
the fleets will probably be restricted to
minimum.

Grnpe Growers Much PIeased.

SANTA Rosa, Cal, August 13.-There
is great rejoicing among vineyardists
over the success of the wine syndicate.
Fully 80 per cent of the stock belongs to
Sonoma county. New life appears to be
taking root among the grape growers,
many of whom intended to let their
vineyards go to weeds, The low prices
of wine have made the industry I'M
profitable.

STRIKER AND POLITICIANS.
Knox viii Run for Sheriff of Yolo County
in California.

SACRAMENTO, August l4.-Harry
Knox, the ex-strike leader, will run for
Sheriff of Yolo county, and his friends
confidently expect his election. There
is good reason to believe that he will be
elected because OF the assurances he has
received from great number OF voters
of Yolo county, representing all poiti-
cal faiths, that they will support HIM
should he allow his name to go before
the Peoples party ticket. This morn
ing the Chairman of the Peoples party
County Committee waited on Knox at
his home in the town of Broderick across
the river, and told him he could have
the nomination by reclamation II he
consented to permit his name to go be-
fore the convention. Knox said that he
was not politician and was not particu-
larlv anxious to run. He was a poor
man, and did not have the requisite
wealth necessary to meet his campaign
expenses. He was assured by the Char
man that all his expenses would be met,
and that his candidacy would not cost
him adollar. Knox said that on that
condition he would consent to run, and
he authorized the Chairman to announce
to the people of Yolo county that he
would be candidate for Sheriff at the
coming election.

THEY WANT IMPROVEMENTS.
Attention Called to Neglect of North
CaDitOl Section.

At an enthusiastic meeting of the North
Capitol Improvement Association held last
evening in Loefiier's Hall memorial was
adopted for presentation to the Commits
sioners and to the appropriation commit
tees of the Senate and the House of Rep
resentatives. In brief, the memorial states
that very little has been done in the way
of improving the streets in the vicinity
OF North Capitol street for ten years or
more. That section of the city is now
well built up. say the signers, and they
ask that the Commissioners improve at
the earliest opportunity the following
thoroughfares:
North Capitol street, from o street to
Florida avenue; o street, from New Jersey
avenue to 1st street east; z street, from
North Capitol street to Florida avenue
east; 1st street west from Pierce street to
Florida avenue; Sd street west, from +
street to Florida avenue; Q street, from Sd
street to Florida avenue, and n street, to
he graded, from North Capitol street to
LIST street east.
1t is also asked that the lexington and
Soldiers Home Railroad Company be re-
CURED to pave between it's tracks on North
Capitol street between New York avenue
and o street.
Messrs Allison Nailor, Thomas Heany,
G. Z. Esher, Lawrence Sickle, John Keefe,
d. c. Diggs and NJ. A. Mess were appoint
ed a committee to present the matter to
the Commissioners and to Congress. The
meeting then adjourned to reas semble on
call of the chairman.

TRAINS SHOULD STOP
Before Crossing HI Street, Says Mr..
Fred. Braudes.

Fred. W. Brandes Off 11C6 9Th street
northeast has written aIlengthy communi-
cation to the commissioners, calling at
tention to the dangerous. condition of the
grade crossing at H street and Delaware
avenue northeast, on the main line OF the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad
In his letter to the Commissioners today
he relates an incident (which occurred to
a herdic while crossing the tracks at this
point. He says:
while on my way to- office a few morn
ings ago an incident occurred to the her
die In which I was riding, which impressed
Upon me in rather startling manner the
great danger Of grade crossings. Incoming
and outgoing trains areconstantly crossing
II street northeast at >the intersection OF
Delaware avenue, at brief intervals just
at the present time this crossing Is more
dangerous than ever, due to the cable con-
structlon. A narrow passage on each size
OF the street is open, the one on the south
for the exclusive use of the horse cars and
that on the north for all other vehicles.
On the morning in question as our her
die driver was cautiously proceeding to
cross the track one of the hind wheels
suddenly plunged into a hole about foot
deep, the horses and the front part OF
the herdic being brought to a standstill
square upon the tracks of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad. II was seemingly i'm
die.
"A gang of cable construction laborers
were promptly sent to our assistance, and
in short time the wheel was lifted out
or the deep rut. Had an express train
been coming around the curve at that par
tlcular moment no power on earth could
have prevented terrible disaster, as the
herdic was crowded with passengers and
the doors were tightly closed, thereby pre-
venting egress.
Now, gentlemen, my object in notifying
you of this occurrence is to make you
acquainted with the great danger existing
at the crossing referred to at the present
time on account of the narrow and dan
gerous passages allowed for vehicular
travel, ard l would suggest the propriety
of issuing an order at the earliest posi-
Bile moment requiring all trains on the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad to come to a
full stop when within 100 feet or so of
II street, and then proceed to carefully
cross said street.
This would not be an unusual order.
All trains on the Chesapeake and Ohio
railroad are required to come to a stop
before crossing the shell road at Old
Point Comfort, Va, where the travel is
Insignificant compared with that on II
street northeast in this city"
His letter has been referred to the en-
gineer department for investigation and
report.

MORO names are TO De duueU tOudy 10 tiie
list Of givers to The Evening Star Santa
Claus Club, more than have been added
on any other day previously. This is en- en-
oouraging sign. The money can not come In
too rapidly or too generously. There ought
to be a thousand dollars raised by these
larger contributions. There will be up
wards of 5000 raised fSom the sale of
badges alone, mostly in the public schools.
and so, il the pi esent signs continue. very
neat sum will be secured There will not
be cent too much, though, and would not
be If twice the amount were given. Ten
thousand dollars would not relieve all the
actual suffering and want that exists today
among the poor of Washington. Letters
are coming from every possible source call
ing attention to needy cases. There Will be
a meeting of the supervising principals at
The Star Office next Saturday to go over
the lists of cases reported and then the
distribution of the money among the di-
visions will be made.
Meanwhile the sale of badges is spreading
into the various branches of the govern
ment Yesterday and today the judges and
ly paying their dimes for the pretty blue
ribbons, and today the Santa Claus badges
are shining forth from the bench of JUS
tice just as proudly from the school
Every persons dime is just good the
next ones, but some ones dollar is better
than anybody's dime.
That is to say, the dollar is better in
that 1t will do more good. 1t is not d whit
more readily or gratefully received, how
ever, and The Star and the members of
the club are just as thankful for a penny
as for a $40 bill, for it is the spirit in which
the money is given that savors the act
and not the sum.
