TO GET AT THE TRUTH.
Thorough Investigation Being Made
REGARDING Kent Loomis' Death.

Assistant Secretary LoOmiS has received
a brief dispatch from Consul Joseph G.
Stephens at Plymouth, giving the result of
the inquest held on the body of his brother.
This reported the findings of the jury as
stated in the dispatches Arrangements
will be made promptly to bring the body Of
Mr. LOOMS to the United States for inter-
ment.
Assistant Secretary LOOMS has accepted
the finding of the British coroner's jury as
the correct position to take at this time.
That verdict did not indicate the cause of
Kent LOOMS death and with the evidence
so far in hand his brother feels that 1t
would be rash to express an opinion on
that point. But he has by no means aban-
doned his efforts to get at the truth and he
Is employing every agency within his reach,
official and personal, to get to the end Of
the matter. He states that the investiga-
ton is being prosecuted with the sole pur
pose to get at the truth and without refer
ence to any theory that may have been ad-
vanced The United States consulS in Eng
land, France and Germany have shown the
greatest interest in the case and have done
some remarkable work in the way of orig1-
nal Investigations and examination of pas
sengers on the Kaiser Wilhelm II on the
trip when Loomis was lost
Assistant Secretary LOOMS says that GER
tain formalities must be observed in Eng
land before the remains be shipped to
New York. but he is hoping that these can
be concluded within two days.

DISCOVERS ANCIENT CITY.
Important Archaeological Discovery in
Babylonian Temples.

CHICAGO, July 1o.-Udninki the ancient
Adab, perhaps the oldest city in the world.
has been discovered by the University of
Chicago's excavating expedition in Baby
lonia. This city has for many years been
the object of search by orientalists. 1t is
mentioned in the code of Hammurabi, an
early king of Babylonia. which document
was translated recently by Prof Robert F.
Harper, director of the expedition. He
has just received news here in cablegram
from Prof. E. j. Banks, field director OF
the expedition, who since leaving this coun-
try last winter for Bismya, in Babylonia,
has announced many important discoveries.
The uncovering Of ancient Adab Is one Of
the most important archaeological achieve
ments of recent years.
DR.. Banks informed Prof Harper that
he had found bricks bearing the syllables
Ud-nun-ki at the lowest level of the ruins
He is certain that these bricks identify the
city Of Adab. With force of 40 men he
excavated the ruins at Bismya and found
the remains of four temples built one above
the other, which he named according to
the kings who built them. The dates be-
came earlier until finally the bricks identi-
flying Udnunki were found. Among other
articles which Dr. Banks found are marble
statues. onyx and sandstone lamps and
many bronze objects.

The Yellow Peril.
From the Saturday Evening Post.

cEofo the SATURDAY Evening fOst.
A business man said the other day:
when ! went to the opening of the Lou
isiana purchase exposition I found In the
building devoted TO various industries only
one exhibit ready-that was the japanese"
Wherever we look in upon the activities of
the japanese We find this same thorough
ness, preparedness. They seem to combine
Intelligence with patience. grasp of the
whole with grasp of details. They seem to
work like a perfect engine-with a mini
mum of loss of energy. And they know
and obey the laws of health. There is
much talk of the yellow peril" Does it
not analyze down to dread of this patient
painstaking intelligent energy of the Japa-
nose mind and character? To avert the
yellow peril we must either brace up or
must somehow teach the Japanese our
vices. Either we must acquire their love
of doing the task thoroughly, or we must
teach them to drink to overeat to get
pleasure out of doing silly. useless things
Instead Of out OF work, to be crazy to seem
20 be somebody instead of ambitious to be
somebody.

STOPPING NEUTRAL SHIPS.
Study of Presidents Being Made by
the State Department.

With a view to being fully prepared for
a contingency that may arise in connection
with the passage Of any American vessel
through the Red sea, the State Department
has begun an exhaustive study of all the
precedents since the Crimean war involving
the stoppage of neutral ships by belliger-
ents. and the exercise of the right Of
search. Incident TO this study the depart
ment is gathering all the information posi-
Bile respecting the actions of the Russian
volunteer cruisers In the Red sea. AS
already indicated, the United States flag
is seldom seen in that quarter except
on a government vessel passing through
to and from the Philippines. and of course
there will be no interference with such
craft by either beligerent.
The State Department has taken very
broad grounds respecting the exemption of
neutral shipping from annoying interior
ence, as was markedly shown in the procia-
nation of President Mckinley at the begin
ming of the Spanish war. The general con-
tention was that neutral flag covers neu-
trail goods. and while it is admitted here
that that Is not yet universally accepted
tenet of international law, 1t Is held that It
should be SUCH and the State Department
has lost no opportunity to bring that to
pass.
But aside from the question of contraband
goods and neutral ships, the officials here
feel that the action of the Russian ships in
connection with the mails IS the gravest
issue now presented In the famous Trent
case, where the American Admiral Wilkes
boarded the British steamer Trent and car
ried off Mason and Slidell the confederate
commissioners, the British government In
its contention, which was practically ad-
mitted by the United States In the end, re-
marked that the summary removal from the
ship of the commissioners was almost as
bad as removing the mails would have
BEEN" showing clearly what the British
idea was then as to the right to carry off
mail

BRITISH COMMENT.
officials Believe Russia Gave Com
mauders Implicit Instructions.

officials Believe Russia Gave Com
manders Implicit Instructions.
LONDON. July 19.-In official circles
strong comment is made in regard to Rus
sia's policy in this matter. 1t is regarded
as impossible that the commanders of the
Smolensk and st. Petersburg were given
full power and the officials therefore are
inclined to the grave conclusion that the
Russian government gave implicit instruc-
tons to the two commanders. The effect
on the stock exchange today was seen In
heavy fall in consols and other gilt-edged
securities on fears of international COM
plications. The dangers and difficulties OF
the situation are much commented upon IN
the newspapers, which are practically
unanimous in denouncing the dubious and
irregular character of the volunteer fleet
vessels.
IF their actions are proved, as we De-
lieve, to be those of vulgar fillbusters, says
the St. James Gazette. they must De re-
called by Russia or the skull and cross
bones must be run up and they VIII pe
fired upon whenever sighted.
Another element adding to the dangers
of the situation is the attitude Japan may
assume The Pail Mall Gazette points out
that If, as stated in dispatches from Con-
stantinople, the Russian guardship Cherno,
moretz traversed the straits fully armed
cit would seem to justify Japan In regard
ing Turkey Us an ally Of Russia and In
voking the terms OF the Anglo-Japanese
treaty,'
