PUGET SOUND AND THE ORIENT,
An Advantage the Waterway Affords
to American Commerce.

to American Commerce.
F. N. Stacy. in Review of Reviews.
The question here arises-what are the
traffic conditions which warrant the con-
struction of vessels of such prodigious ca
pacity and calling for such an enormous
volume Of freight business? Why should
these vessels be built for Puget sound,
which heretofore has held a subordinate
position compared with the port of San
Francisco?
In the first place. Puget sound is the log
zeal gateway Of the United States to the
Pacific Orient by reason of the fact of it's
geographical position. The short cut from
the United States to the Orient, as one
will when he consults his globe, is north
erly by way Of the Aleutian islands. The
average map presents the coasts of North
America and of Asia as if they faced each
tb and Were almost parallel par whereas Re IS
makes the Asiatic shore line almost a con-
tinuation or projection of the American
shore line to the other side OF the globe.
Thus, the most direct route from either
San Francisco or San Diego, Cal. to Japan
or China, instead of being westerly by
way of the Sandwich islands. is northerly
past Puget SOUND and the Boring sea- 1t
Is 1850 miles farther from San Francisco
westerly via Hawaii to Yokohama, Shang-
hal HongKong than from Puget sound
northerly to the same destinations. In
other words. the San Francisco round trip
to the Orient via Hawaii is $500 miles long
er than the Puget Sound round trip via
Boring sea, which is equivalent to a week .
voyage for a fifteen-knot vessel and nearly
nine days for a twelve-knot vessel This
advantage OF a week to ten days In
the length of the voyage is the logical basis
for the faith in Puget sound as the gate
way of Oriental commerce.
In the second place, the Puget sound
route for American commerce with the
Orient Is about one-half the length Of the
New York route via the Suez canal, the
haul is II, $50 miles, as compared with $3.50
miles from Seattle to Hong-Kong. From
the distance Is over 1900 miles. as compared
with 4,24O miles from Puget sound TO Yoko-
hama. Why should the United States cir
by way of Europe when it has a short cut
of its own with one-half the length Of haul ?
Another definite and convincing advant-
age which American commerce will enjoy
in taking the direct trade channel from
Puget sound 70 the Orient is the avoidance
of the 81 per. ton charge levied upon IL by
the SueZ canal. In view of the factc that
within the pSst year steel rails have been
carried from The Mississippi valley to Yoko-
hama, and that within the past sixty days
-four has been transported from Mime
apolis to Manila and Hong-Kong, in each
case at the low rate OF IS per ton, IL is pat
ent even to the layman that the ~ per ton
handicap via the SueZ canal is sufficient
in itself to transfer future American COM
merce to Puget sound.

FLEEING FROM JACKSON
LIFE UNSAFE IN THE FEUD-RIDDEN
COUNTY OF BREATHITT.
Situation Compared to a Man Sitting
on q Barrel of Powder Amid a
Shower of Sparks.

LEXINGTON, KY, May GA newspaper
man who arrived from Jackson tonight
discussed the situation there by saying:
1.-The town may only be compared to a man
sitting on a barrel of powder in a shower
of sparks. When the explosion will come
no one knows, but I believe it is in
evitable. At least three men know who
assassinated James Marcum, and though
they are silent it is believed their doom is
sealed. Such knowledge in Breathitt coun-
ty means death. There are also others left
who know who assassinated Jim Cockrell.
They will not be overlooked. If these peo-
pie remain there Is the possibility Of a
rigid investigation by the law they will be
put out of the way at an early day. Sew
eral families are preparing to follow the
example of over fifty people who during
the last six months have fled the country.
Male members will leave Immediately, and
when they have found a home the women
and children will follow"
A messenger who left the interior or
Breathitt county at dawn Monday to bear
a warning to Attorney j. b. Marcum that
a plot to kill him had been formed the
night before reached Jackson a few min
utes after an assassins bullet had crashed
through Marcum's brain and heart as he
stood in the courthouse door. During Sun
GUMS was informed that conspiracy had
been entered into at a meeting of several
desperate men at blind tiger three
miles from Jackson TO assassinate Marcum
on Monday. At daylight he sent a messen-
ger to convey the informatio to the at
torney, who lay dead when he arrived.
This statement was made by Mrs. Marcum
in interview to-day If the meeting at
the blind tiger" Sunday night told of by
the widow can be successfully probed the
assassin and the plotters may yet be
known. Any investigation must be strict
ly within legal bounds, and 1t may be i'm
possible even then to make people feel Sc
cure in telling what they know.
A dispatch from Jackson, KY, says the
people not involved in the feud contemplate
calling on Governor Beckham to bring
peace to the county. 1t is expected that
the contingent with which Marcum was
allied, which includes the influential family
of Postmaster Hurst. Marcum's father-in-
law, are uniting against the Cockrell fam
lily with view to precipitating a fight.
Conservative citizens who are acquainted
with either family do not express surprise
at the report.

CAPT. BRADY'S FUNERAL
BODY OF FORMER CORRESPONDENT
INFERRED AT ARLINGTON.
Buried with Military Honors I'm the
Officers Section Of the National
Cemetery at Washington.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special 20 the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, May 6.-The remains OF
Edward Wright Brady were inferred at
Arlington to-day with military honors.
Twenty-three years ago Captain Brady
came to Washington from Muncie and en-
gagged in newspaper work. He was for
several years correspondent of the Indian
apolis Journal and was associated as an
Critic. then owned by his brother, General
Thomas j. Brady. Captain Brady died
suddenly on Sunday night from an attack
Of Bright's disease. His funeral to-day
was attended by large delegation from
the corps Of Washington newspaper corre-
spondents from whom the pallbearers were
selected. 1t was first intended to take the
remains back to Muncie for interment,
but his newspaper friends prevailed upon
the friends of the family to permit burial
at the National Cemetery in Arlington.
AS soon as it was understood that a former
officer Of the United States army had
passed away, the officials of the War De-
partment issued orders for the preparation
Of grave in the officers section of the
cemetery and when the cortege reached
that historic home of the dead they were
met by a squadron of the Second Cavalry,
under command Of Captain NJ. L. Brett, OF
Troop G.. and Chaplain Pierce. Of the same
regiment. The latter read the beautiful
service Of the Episcopal Church over the
body Of the dead correspondent and soldier
and at the end a the ceremony firing
squad Of sixty fired the last volley over
the grave and the bugler Of the troop
sounded taps.
Capt. Edward Wright Brady has left a
record behind as a brave soldier who
served in the civil war as a private, grad
uating from West Point, and afterward be-
came an officer Of the United States regu-
lar army, serving in the Indian campaigns
In Texas and on the Mexican frontier. He
was brilliant newspaper correspondent,
whose contributions to current history
were eagerly sought by the newspapers of
all the large cities of the country. Dur
ing the Mckinley campaign he contributed
a number of financial articles to the New
York papers, which were pronounced at
the time the most carefully considered and
best written additions to the literature of
that contest. He was regarded as among
the foremost financial writer's Of the last
decade, and the last rites over his grave
were attended to-day by majority of the
correspondents In Washington, as well as
by large delegation Of citizens of Indiana
and Of representatives of the United States
army with whom he once served.

Denial from General Miles.

WASHINGTON, May Elm a recent trial
at Manila there was introduced in the
evidence a letter taken from Filipino and
signed by a native, saying that the recent
visit of General Miles to the Philippines
was for the purpose of collecting evidence
to aid the cause of the anti-imperialists.
The letter with the other evidence was pub
lished in a Manila paper. General Davis.
commanding in the Philippines, sent a copy
Of the letter to the War Department with
an Endorsement saying he had no doubt
that the use of General Miles's name in
this connection was unauthorized. The let
ter with the Endorsement was referred to
General Miles. who returned it with the
further Endorsement that the view Of Gen.
eral Davis was entirely correct and the
use of his name was wholly unauthorized.
