Strange News From Washington.

The Associated Press brings strange newvs from Washington. dispatch sent out Thursday night had this to say of the statehood situation:
 'The senate committee on territories Saturday will take up the statehood bill passed by the house last session for the admission of Arizona and New Mexico and of Indian Territory and Oklahoma as two states. Chairman Beveridge expects that the bill will be perfected in time to take it up after December 16, the day set for taking vote on the Philippine bill. The fact that the bill is recommended by the steering committee to be made the un- finished business indicates the passage of the bill without serious opposition. Several leading democratic senators are reported to favor it. and there is no organized opposition"
 ''No organized opposition!" Where is Mark Smith? Didn't he assure the elect him to congress he would be on hand when congress met and would organize such an opposition on the part of the minority that the majority would be tied in a knot? Didn't he promise such a filibuster as would shake the walls of the capitol? No organized Cpposition!" Where is Smith?
 Another dispatch, after detailing that the steering committee (the unofi- cial combination of leaders which shapes all important legislation in the senate) had decided in favor of the passage of the joint statehood bill, contained the information that the only senators who have manifested disposition to fight the bill are Foraker of Ohio, Gallinger of New Hampshire and Bard of California-all republi- cans,
 How all this could come about-how it could be fixed up that the bill should be, the unfinished business inn mediateIy after December Is, thus in suring it's passage unless it is defeated by republicans-in the face of MT. Smiths assurance that he would fix things the ether way, is absolutely puZZling

know that a few miles in their rear there is a group of more powerful ships. Though the latter may not be called upon to fire a gun in particu- lar engagement, their very proximity gives courage to those who are on the skirmish line and puts powerful re- straint on the movements of the foe. For the first time in history, an effec~ tive blockade was maintained this year for weeks in succession by destroyers alone, but that achievement was pos sible only because Togo's big vessels at the Elliott islands, sixty miles away from Port Arthur, were within wire less range.
 In more ways than enc the foresight displayed by Japan has been an object lesson to the world. Spies in hostile camps and ports kept her wonderfully well informed concerning the weak points in the enemy's equipment and routine. Against every possible emer- gency which might arise the Japanese had made elaborate provision. They had hospital ships, store ships, repair ships, colliers and ships carrying the necessary mechanism to raise and cut submarine cables. In this respect, as George Kennan pointed out months ago in the Outlook, Japan was infinitely better off than the United States was when the war with Spain broke out. Moreover, she utilized number of inn provements made by her own people upon existing methods or apparatus. Among them was a new explosive in vented by Dr. Shimose and a modified tion of wireless telegraphic systems which was recommended by experts at the university of Tokio. The type of torpedo that sunk the Petropavlovsk had features suggested by Commander Oda, and there were novelties even in the water tube boilers of the mikado's warships. we have learned to ad- mire the thcroughness of the Ger mans" says MT. Hurd, but nothing that we know of their readiness and war training equals the standard of preparedness for war which the Japa- nese evolved"
 Incidentally, the writer for Cassier's ma gazine gives a little attention to the tactics of the Japanese, He lays much stress upon the discretion shown by Togo in dealing with the two separate Russian squadrons. He did not allow himself to be distracted by the possible mischief which the ships at Vladivos- tok might do along the coast of Japan. He was not tempted into a division of his own force. He felt confident that a junction between the two hostile commands could not be effected promptly, and he preferred to confine his attention to the Yellow sea. Not until after he had destroyed all of the enemy's ships In Corean ports that the Russians did not sink themselves and not until he had paralyzed the Port Arthur squadron did he detach any of his vessels to look after the Vladivos- tok cruisers.

Why Japan Wins.

In his message to congress the other day President Roosevelt made a mas terIy argument in favor of the main tenance of the army and navy at the highest efficiency And :n their annual reports. Secretary Taft of the war de- partment and Secretary Morton of the navy department dwell at length on the same topic. The native common sense of the American people should lead them to approve this policy Of the administration, but if any object lesson were needed it could be found in the present war between Japan and Russia.
 Japan is winning because she was prepared for war. Russia is at a dis advantage because she was unpre- pared. In the current number of Cas- sier's magazine MT. Archibald s. Hurd has an interesting article, which shows cenelusively that the completeness of Japan's preparations for war accounts in the main for the successes achieved by Japanese arms. Japan's foresight and enterprise extended over a period of six or seven years, while up to the last moment Russia apparently relied mainly on bluff. Even the large fleet which had been concentrated by the latter power at Port Arthur was ac- cOrdihg to this authority. something of sham. The czar's advisers had been led to think that the Asiatics were more powerfully impressed by smoke stacks than guns, and accordingly felt secure in the consciousness. that sev- eral of the vessels in the Pacific had from three to five tunnels! Thus pro- tected, the officers in command regard ed gun practice and sea maneuvers be- fore the war as entirely unnecessary.
 First of all, Japan obtained a thor oughly modern navy. All of her larger vessels were built abroad, but she had her own ideas about what they should be. Not only were six fine battleships ordered, but the programme was made to include an equal number Of heavily armored cruisers. In her recognition of the importance of this second class of warships, Japan anticipated several of the other naval powers of the world It is asserted, too, that never before had any nation devoted so large a share of it's actual expenditure for naval purposes to armored vessels. For the so-called protected" cruiser Japan had no use.
 Great execution has been done by torpedoes in the pending conflict. and Japan has been particularly alert to their possibilities. MT. Hurd insists, however. that "a mosquito fleet" does its best work when it's officers and men

The Passing of the Chinaman.

In fifty yearS-perhaps less than fif- ty, if the present laws remain in eff feet and are rigidIy executed-the Chi nese population of the United States will become practically extinct, accord ing to the views of w. s. HarwoCd in the December Worlds Work. From 1890 to 1900 they fell away from 126,77S to 119,05O, a decrease of nearly eight thousand, or more than per cent. In the fiscal year ending June 30, 1903, more than four thousand voluntarily left the port of San Francisco for the land of their birth, the total deported and returning voluntarily being 5,O2O.
 A genera ation ago there were in San Francisco from thirty to forty thou sand Chinamen. The Chinese consul general there told MT. Harwcod that. counting men, women and children, there are now not 10000.
 the United States includes 26,767 in Hawaii and 3,116 in Alaska, so that at the beginning of this decennial period there were living in the United States proper only s9OOO. A generation ago there were at least 10000.
 The main adult population is male. is unmarried, or at least wifeless in Am erica. and is rapidly approaching old age. Thus by 1sSO or 194O the main Chinese life in America will be extinct

The Herald fol- lows its question by submitting facts to show that its premises are sound, but it does not try to furnish an an- swer. The Los Angeles man has a wide reputation for thrift. Is it pos sible that he finds it cheaper to get a divorce than to buy Christmas pres ents?
