uificance Whatever.

KEY WEST, FLA, February 25.-Sena-
tor Proctor is among the Mascots pas
sengers. Before sailing for Habana. he
was shown a dispatch published here,
saving that there is considerable eX-
element at Habana over his expected
visit. He read It, laughed, and SAID
Absurd
In reply to a request for a detailed
statement regarding his visit, Senator
Proctor said: at is all simple and straight
as day I've been to Habana several
times before, and have many 1rlends
there. I've been fishing several days in
Florida with Colonel Parker. friend OF
mine. and we have decided to 20 over to
Habana"
The correspondent of the Associated
Press suggested that some people might
think Habana "A strange place to go Tor
fishing lust now. Senator Proctor laugh
ingly replied: ITO tell the truth, we are
lust going over there to see what's going
on. to be where the excitement Is. Ihere
is not bit of political significance about
it. 1 may stay in Habana a day or
week. / have not the remotest idea now
long"

visit TO Habana, he replied: Il cannot

Rear-Admiral Sicard is still In charge

Description, Is.
NEW YORK, February 25.-The Dutch
tank steamer Bromerhaven, which ar
rived here this afternoon from Antwerp
reports that on February 18th, in iau-
tude So, longitude A, she passed steam
er. apparently a Frenchman. She was
almost stopped and was heading north
east. She had two masts and Two IuV-
neis. The regulation lights were burnins'
but no signals were displayed. 1t Is
quite probable that the Frenchman hau
sea-anchors out. although II was TOO dath
10 see IL such were the fact The wea'
Their had been very stormy, blowing nara
from the northeast, and continued 10
blow through the following day (Sun-
day) and part Of Monday, with very heavy
seas
CAPTAIN MINES. when informed that
La Champagne was overdue, said that
there was no doubt in his mind as 10 the
identity of the vessel.
Mr. Bocande, the New York agent or
the French line. said the description OF
the steamer seen by Captain MINES tai
lied with that of La Champagne precisely.
He looked much pleased and relieved,
and said he had rot the slightest doubt
of her identity. When seen she was In
very good position, only 1900 miles
away, and right in the track of the ocean
liners. He was of the opinion, from
the fact that no signal for assistance was
shown. that whatever breakdown was
sustained ~ her, It was not of serious
character Possibly one OF the cylinders
had broken, necessitating slow speed.
Mr.. Bocande explained that the engines
of La Champagne, which is a single
screw steamer. were triple-expansion,
with three cylinders working on the same
shaft. so that even If two cylinders gave
out. there would still be one to drive the
vessel along He believed the steamer
would be in port in a couple of days.

Japanese Women.

The women of Japan have often been
misunderstood, says X. Mitsukuri, IN the
March Atlantic. By those who have
known them, they have been pronounced
the best part of Japan. They have been
described as gentle. graceful. beautiful,
and self-sacrihcing. Not only in those
gentier virtues, but also in sor1e sterner
aspects Of life, the Japanese woman has
shown time and again what she Is made
Of
Any one who speaks against the purity
Of the japanese woman knows not where
Of he talks, or is vile slanderer, who
would deprive the woman OF what Is most
precious 10 her. AS the mistress of the
family she has as much real authority in
the family as her western sister. AS q
mother she Is paid great Difference by
her children. In society, a lady Is al
ways treated with respect There are
some. respects in which changes are de-
sirable, but, on the whole. 1 have no
hesitation In saying that the position OF
woman M Japan IS very high one.
