HONOR HIS MEMORY

however. after carefully gong over tue
ground and inspecting all the previous
annual reports very carefully he frankly
admitted that there were obviously GER
tain lines of work ttat the National Gov
eminent could perform for the benefit Of
agriculture which no State. corporation
or individual could do as well.
His First Annual Report
His conclusions in regard to a depart
ment Of agriculture and the very prac-
teal light in which he viewed the work
OF the department and the duties of the
employees are well shown in his first an
nual report. His condition of mind in re-
gard to the matter as well as the char
acteTistiC style which became so familiar
in his later official documents, is shown
in the following extract from that report:
''As organized, the Department Of Ag-
riculture offers cpulent opportunities for
the exercise of the most pronounced pa
tcrnaIism. But there are many proper
ways in which the Federal Government
may legitimateIy serve the cause Of ag-
riculture, though it is neither necessary
nor desirable that this Government should
attempt duties legitimateiy belonging TO
the States and which only they can dis
charge as their respective statutes pro-
vide or direct

say. 1T serves to call attention to the
thought expressed; it knocks the idea into
a mans head
Under his administration Of the Office
the "opulent opportunities for the exer-
else of the most pronounced paternalism"
were largely eradicated.
Cue Of his first actions was to gather
information as to the organization and adj
ministration of the agricultural boards
and bureaus Of foreign nations. From 4
study OF their scope and functions, and q
comparison OF the systems OF France,
Russia. Germany, England, and other ma
tons with that Of the United States. he
gained many ideas for the extension and
Improvement OF the department He was
quick to recognize the value of sugges-
tons. but slow to make any radical de-
paTture from the accepted order of things
until he had made himself thoroughly
conversant with all the conditions and
had calculated the ultimate results Of his
action.
A Successful Administration
the thoroughness and sincerity of his
methods and his personality drew to his
support in spirit. as well as in letter. the
scientists under him. He never lost sight
of the practical results, for which the de-
partnent is maintained, in chasing will
o the yFhis3'' theories.
His suggestions as to the administra-
ton OF the finances allotted to tne de-
partment bore fruit while he was Sec
retary and after his retirement. It was
due TO the attention which he directed TO
the subject that the management Of the
experiment stations was made q function

To Run Fifteen Miles While

NAVAL OFFICERS ON BOARD
Lieutenant From Austrian Cruiser a
Guest-Journey From New York to
Washington, at Builders Desire to
Prove the Worth of Newest Craft.

Although the House Committee Oh
Navai Affairs voted against recommending
the further construction this year of sub
marine torpedo boats, the many friends of
| these little craft are yet hopeful that an
! amendment will be made to the approPri-
alton bill providing for several vessels OF
this type.
The Fulton, the most recent addition to
the fleet of the Holland torpedo boat type,
left New York Harbor yesterday, with
twelve .nen inside her steel bound shell,
for Washington. The trip is said to be
for the purpose Of making a thorough test
Of her sea-g0inE qualities. Recently the
Fulton spent a night under water at New
Suffolk, L. l., with fifteen men aboard,
while hurricane was raging the coast
The Navy Department has detailed
Leiuts C. P Nelson and Arthur Mac
Arthur to make the trip on the Fulton.

cruiser Szigetvar, viii go as a guest His
presence is not official, it is claimed. but

Details of the Trip.
The commanding officer of the Fulton
is Captain F. T. cable. Of the Holland
Submarine Boat Company. II referring
to the voyage he is quoted in the New
York Herald as having said:
The Fulton viii be accompanied by
the tender MiEdora, with my stenographer
and tire slug Storm King with newspaper
correspondents. No officer OF the com
pany will be either or the Fulton or the
tender. On board Will be twelve. in

feet and, thus submerged, viii run about
fifteen miles, using her storage batteries
So far our storage batteries viii not per-
nit US to run more than twenty-one
miles under water at full speed Of seven
knots At four knots, however, We could
run $50 miles under water.
To Prove Searching Qualities.
But this trip is not taken to demon
strate the ability of the boat under water-
She could remain submerged three months
so far as air supply is concerned. That IS
known What we desire is to convince
the skeptics OF her sea-going qualities.
and this trip is taken under the eompany's
orders as a test by them, not by the Gov-
ernment
There will be no torpedo practice on
the way down the coast Unless an east
erly gale eompeIs US 20 put to sea, We
shall keep probably twenty miles Of shore
on the run down, au1 make about eight
knots an hour.
- seaway has no effect on the speed OF
the Fulton Remember that the crests Of
the waves pass over her
We shall remain in Norfolk twenty
four hours and then voyage up the Chesa-
Deake to the mouth Of the Potomac. There
the Fulton may anchor.
Our voyage up the Chesapeake and
the Potomac will be made leisurely- 1t is
the outside trip that is expected to prove
the worth OF the boat in rough weather
We want to show that the Fulton can
stand q sea and can weather it as handily
and even more so than most surface
boats

Opposed to PaternaIism.

When Mr. Morton first entered upon the
duties of the SecretaryshIp there was con-
siderable anxiety felt as to what extent
his outepoken views against paternaIistie
government would affect the administra-
tien of the department. It was thought
that his attitude in this matter would lead
TO the discoltinuance of certain lines OF
work, as it eventually did, regarding the

recommendations until he had given every

from the nature Of his convictions he was
in some doubt as whether it was not his

Of Agriculture De abolished altogether.

MANY IMMIGRANTS
LAND At NEW YORK
Four Steamers Bring 400
Steerage Passengers.

NEW YORK, Oct. 20.--Some theatrical
manager, who wants new ideas for stage
groups and colors, should have been at
the Battery this afternoon. when 5000
immigrants, most of them italians, add
cd themselves TO the population of the
United States.
1t was a record breaking day for Ellis
Island and the barge office. The steam
ship Perugia, from Genoa, Citta di Ma
pole, from Naples; Sicilian Prince, from
Palermo, which arrived on Sunday, and
the iceland, from Antwerp. in today.
brought all told 400 steerage pas
sengers. They all got away from Ellis
Island today
About seventeen hundred OF the immi-
grants were bound for the West. and
were transferred directly from Ellis ISL
and to the railroad terminals in JERSEY
City. The rest were ferried to the
Battery on the John G. Carlisle. There
was a steady stream of foreigners going
through the barge office gates all day.
The crowd was good natured, and also
prosperous. There were some womer
there with gold enough in their ear
rings to pay their passage money back

JAPANESE LAUNDRYMAN
Supreme Court Upholds San
Francisco Ordinance.
EXCLUDED BY NUISANCE ACT
Several Other Important Decisions
Handed Down Yesterday-Nu-
merous Cases Submitted.

On the authority of previous decisions
the United States Supreme Court, in the
case of George Tsukamato, Japanese
laundryman, against the city OF San
Francisco, yesterday. upheld the ordi-
nance of that city under which the ap-
pellant had been refused a license to
operate a steam laundry. on the ground
that .the granting of such privilege
would subject the residents and adjacent
property owners to a serious nuisance in
the shape of a so-called Japanese laun-
dry, which would be injurious to the
comfort of the residents of the section,
as we'll as deteriorate the value of their
property"
Tsukamato asserted that the refusal
was based solely on prejudice against
him because he was subject of the
empire of Japan, and as no Caucasian
had been denied the privilege asked. his
rights under the Fourteenth Amendment
and the treaty with Japan had been
invaded.

DR.. David J. Hill, first Assistant Sec
retary of State, delivered an address
yesterday evening before the class in
comparative Jurisprudence and diplo-
macy of Columbian University.
Instead of an audience composed en-
tirely of college students. however, those
who listened to DR.. Hill were members
of the Diplomatic Corps, lawyers, and
business men of Washington. as we'll
as undergraduates of the university. A
the beginning of his address the lecturer
commented upon the presence of the
diplomats: saying he was unaware thai
he was to speak to men from whom he
had learned much that he knows of d.
plomacy.
Science of Politics.
DR.. Hill said that the science of poll
tics began in the primitive family; de-
veloped among uncivilized tribes, be-
came a more tangible thing in the affairs
of nations, and finally reached its maxi
mum in the relations between the great
governments.
1.-The science of politics" he said. "is
considered from three standpoints: The
theory of the state, the tracing of the
origin of governments, and the study of
international relations. The latter may
unite the entire world in friendly broth
erhood."
The tendency all over the world to fed
Grafton among nations was commented
upon. The case of the German Empire
was cited as illustrating this tendency in
Europe The speaker said that the
various political divisions of Germany
have become amalgamated into one great
nation, sacrificing in measure their in
dividuality for the general advancement
of the power and influence of the nation
at large. DIR. Hill also took up the case
of the British Empire, showing that the
same federation has been going on there.
Where Danger Turks.
While this CO operation is good thing,
DIR. Hill said that danger arises with it.
The great nations thus formed become
powerful. They are sure to have dis
putes, and collisions follow. These dis

statement given out yesterday at
the Treasury Department sets at rest
the belief which seems to have taken
hold of some people in some parts OF the
country that the Treasury OF the United
States IS a charitable institution The
statement follows:
The following notice has been ap-
pearing in newspapers throughout the
country:
Persons who don't know that pros

the action of Secretary of the Treasury

Suit Against the District.

The case of Alice r. Mosheuvel and
Anthony J. Mosheuvel, plaintiffs in
error, came up for argument yesterday
before the United States Supreme Court.
Henry 7. Davis and Charles Cowles
Tucker appeared for the plaintiffs. The
plaintiffs seek TO recover from the Dis
trict $4,000 damages and costs for per-
sonal injuries Mrs. Mosheuvel sustained
August Z. 1899, by being violently
thrown to the ground as a result OF
stepping into an unprotected water box
in the sidewalk in front of her place
of business, lib Street northeast.
In the trial court, on the evidence
and at the request of counsel for the
defendant, the jury was directed to re-
turn a verdict for the defendant upon
the ground of contributory negligence
on the part OF the woman plaintiff. Or
an appeal to the Court of Appeals the
judgment of the lower court was af.

motion was made in the Supreme
Court of the United States yesterday
by counsel for the Interior Department
TO dismiss the case OF Lone Wolf against
the Secretary of the Interior on the
ground that the land in dispute has been
settled. The court. however, decided
TO hear argument.
The question involves the right of the
Secretary to dispose of the land of the
Kiowa and other Indian tribes in ac-
cordance with an act of Congress which
was passed under a treaty with the In
dians. Lone Wolf and others allege
that the treaty was made without the
consent OF a majority of the Indians
interested.

DIPLOMACY MEANS
ABSENCE OF DECEIT

putes must be met either by force or by
mutual agreement. For the first. war
riors are needed; for the second, diplo-
mats. 1t was a sad commentary on the
progress of the times, DR.. Hill said, that
the art of war received more attention
than the art of craftsmanship. In all
countries preparations for great military
and naval engagements are continually
being made. In very few countries are
men being prepared to settle interna
tional difficulties by arbitration. Juris-
prudence and diplomacy. DR.. Hill main
tanned, are worthy of more attention.
Meaning of Diplomacy.
The speaker dwelt at length upon the
meaning of the word diplomacy. He
said among the average people of the
world it meant evasion and deceit. This
conception, he admitted, was but natu-
raj, considering that in years past un-
scrupulous nations, in selecting their
diplomats, frequently chose men of craft
and ability as deceivers. At the present
time, however, honesty and straightfor-
wardness and an utter absence of eva
sion or deceit are the first essentials in
diplomacy. He took up the origin Of the
word. and showed that 100 years ago,
when it was coined, diplomacy had sig
nified all that was honorable and
straightforward
'.In general sense" said DR.. Hill.
diplomacy is the transaction of inter-
national business. It is both an art and
a science. 1t is the science of applied
politics in its relation to international
affairs
Duties of Foreign Minister.
DR.. Hill described in detail the duties
of ministers of foreign affairs, showing
that they were responsible for the equi-
librium of an enormous system of ma
tions-"a system which is the most SEN
sitive and most easily affected OF any
on the GLOBE minister, he said, must
know the affairs of every government in
the world, the history of nations, their
politics, their rulers, the rulers fam
lilies, and even the intricacies of their
various social circles. diplomat. he
said, must possess much of this same
knowledge, judgment and discretion.
