The New BattIeship Receives Its
Handsome Service.


NORFOLK. Va. June 6-Shortly before
noon today . magnificent silver service
was presented 10 the new battleship Ken
lucky by the citizens of the State whose
name she bears. Some three hundred
Kentuckians came up to participate in the
ceremony. The big ship lay OFF Old Point
flying many flags when the gift-bearing
Kentuekians boarded her.
The presentation speech was made by
Harry Weissinger of the Louisville Cham
Der of Commerce. Capt. Colby NJ. Ches-
ter. commanding the Kentucky. who re-
ceived the service, spoke feliCilously in
response.
After the speeehmaking the guests OF
the Kentucky's officers were invited to
inspect the new fighting ship.
Tonight a banquet will be given at the
Chamberlin in honor of the United States
Kentucky Battleship Commission, and to-
morrow the visitors will return home.
The service which will grace the
boards of the Kentucky is one OF the
handsomest ever given to any ship in any
country, and among the most attractive
ever presented to a ship flying the Stars
and Stripes.
II consists OF over seventy pieces, all Of
which are handsomely engraved to repre-
sent various features OF the State. The
punch bowl is a massive vessel of solid
silver. lined with gold 1t is one of the
largest in existence. and is beautifully
engraved.

EXCLUSION OF JAPANESE
Proposed Restrictive Legislation
ArOuseS a Protest.
Yankees of the Orient object to Be-
ing Chased with the Chinese by
ures of the Character Suggested
Would Strain Friendly Relations.

YOKOHAMA. via San Francisco. June 6.
States caused by the arrival OF japanese
at all Pacific Coast ports. and the talk OF
restrictive legislation similar to that
adopted against the Chinese. have caused
much alarm among those who have fos-
tered the development of japanese trade
with America.
They know that any restrictive measure
that would class the japanese with the
Chinese would deal severe blow at the
friendly relations between Japan and the
United States and would seriously imperil
the now rapidly increasing commercial in
terests so important to both countries.
Not only is 1t fact that the Japanese
are almost as different from Chinese as
are Americans from Turks. out there is
scarcely any point upon which this self
respectful people are so sensitive as upon
the persistent ignorance of the West in
the matter of such distinction. Should
they now be lumpd with Chinese by any
o4hciaI action of the United States the
result would be disastrous in the extreme,
and it would be many years before the
existing cordial relations could be restored.
II may be said also with perfect truth
that there is no real cause for alarm. even
on the part Of the Pacific Coast States.
The present influx of Japanese is tempo
rary. and an abnormal increase of the
ordinary tide. occasioned by undue activ-
ity. which the Government is already sup
pressing with much vigor.
In the great industrial development of
an empire and in the opening OF its mines
and various other resources, there is prac-
tically no problem Of surplus speculation.
Any restrictive measures on the part OF
America just now would not only be IN
wise but UNNECESSARY.

pending danger until the cars rounded the
opposite sides Of the curve. too late to
avoid the collision. The motormen, it IS
said made every effort 20 check their cars,
but without success. The impact was such
that the front ends Of both cars was splIn-
tered and the motormen hurled against
each other.
The passengers were thrown from their
seats forward and dropped in a mass
amorg the debris Of seats, side, side posts,
etc. That no one was instantly killed is
considered almost miraculous.
Immediately after the collision the crew
Of the construction car, and those passen-
gers who were not hurt went to the as
sistance Of the injured. Duley. Hough,
and Cross were extricated from the wreck
and sent 10 Thirty-severth Street and

summoned to that point by telephone, ard
which conveyed them to the hospital. The
responsibility for the accident has not
been placed.

FIGHTING THE QUARANTINE.
Chinese in san Francisco Appeal TO
the Courts.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 6.-The Chinese
Six Companies have begun an active fight
to have the quarantine on Chinatown lift
ed. The merchants of the district applied
yesterday for an order of the United States
Circuit Court To have the quarautine set
aside as a menace unwarranted by reason
or fact ard a restriction upon the business
and common interests Of the quarter The
appiica ion will be heard before Judge
Morrow in open court tomorrow.
The complaint declares that there is no
evidence of the existence of real plague
This denial. II is thought, will suggest to
Judge Morrow the ACCESSIBILITY OF compeu-
ing the Health Board to produce any
proofs and will furnish the counsel for the
Chinese an opportunity to show that the
bacteriologist OF the Health Board lacks
experience and took a snap decision on the
suspected cases. The Health Board has
found no new cases. but is actively in
specting Chinatown.

DEATH ON BATLEFIELDS.
POst-MOrtem Cries md Continuance
of Activity.


Probably the most impressive descrip-
tion OF death on the field of battle ever
penned was that which Kilglake has left
OF Captain Noian's fall. Nolan was aide
de-camp to General Airey. and in that ca
pacity was the bearer OF a written mes
sage from the commander in-ehief to
Lord Lucan, in command OF the Light Cav
airy at Balaclava- On receipt of the or
der, Lord Lucan gave Lord Cardigan in
structions for that terrible charge Of the
Light Brigade" which Nolan believed to
be altogether a misinterpretation of the
directions OF the commander-in-ch chief As
the brigade moved of toward the valley of
death he dashed. in the greatest indigna-
ton and excitement. across the head OF the
advancing troops and endeavored to di-
vert them into what he believed to be the
course intended by Lord Raglan. Accord
ing to Kinglake, he rode across with ve-
hement gestures and uplifted sword in ad-
vance OF the brigade, as If reckoning the
cavalry to follow him and not Lord Cardi-
gan. But a Russian shell bursting on the
right front there, a fragment met Nolan
full in the chest and tore way into his
heart.
The sword dropped from his hand" says
the historian, but the arm with which he
was waving IL the moment before still re-
manned high uPlifted in the air, and the
grip Of the praeticed horseman, remaining
as yet unrelaxed. still held him firm in the
saddle. Missing the perfect hand OF his
master, and finding the accustomed gov
ernance now succeeded by the dangling
reins, the horse all at once wheeled about
and began to gallop back upon the front
of the advancing brigade. Then. from
what had been Nolan-and his form was
still erect in the saddle. his sword arm
still high in fsle air-there hurst forth a
cry so strange and appalling that the hear
er who rode the r sarest horse has always
called 1t 'uneartfiy.I And In truth, / i'm
agine," says Kin ziake. 1.-The sound resulted
fror. no human will, but rather from those
spasmodio forces which may act upon the
bodily frame when life as power has
ceased. The firm-seated rider with arm
uplifted AM stsn, could hardly be ranked
