Men Who Tried TO Escape on the
Arasonia Returned to Port to
Be Beheaded.
AN ORIENTAL LINER ARRIVES
A Trans.Pacific Freighter Comes
on Her Maiden Voyage In the
Service of the Portland
Asiatic Company.

The German American steamship
Aragonia arrived yesterday from far
eastern ports. on her first trip 10 the
Columbia river. The Aragonia Ii un-
der charter TO the o. n. & ~. Co. She
brings almost full cargo OF freight,
and at o'clock last evening left up
the river for Portland. The Aragonia
ss conveniently built freighter and
makes good time.
Captain Schuldt states that he could
learn nothing OF the progress OF the
war In the far east. Like all the other
steamship masters arriving from the
far east. he says the Japanese will give
out nothing as to the situation at the
front or the probable outcome Of Inn
pending battles. but that they regard
strangers with the utmost suspicion
and maintain surly reticence. How
ever, in Yokohama and Mol the pOpu-
lace seems to be sanguine, and the
greatest enthusiasm everywhere pre-
walls. II there is any doubt In Japan
as TO the outcome Of the mlkado's fight
with Russia, II u not apparent.
When the Aragonla departed from
Yokohama, Captain Schuldt was noti-
fed by the government officials to an
chor outside the harbor and make
thorough search for stowaways. The
search resulted In the discovery Of six
japanese. who were found in the room
OF the steward When the men were
found the Aragonia signaied the patrol
boat and the six men we're sent ashore.
The steward was also taken of the
vessel. as he was believed to have
been trying to assist the men to es-
cape from japan. The officers OF the
steamship were given to understand
that the stowaways would be beheaded,
without even the formallty Of trial.
which is the Japanese method OF dis
pensing justice in the case OF men
who attempt to escape from their
country in time Of war. or who leave
1t without permission.
II was thought at the time that all
OF the stowaways were found off Yoko-
hama, but when the vessel entered the
river yesterday three others were dis
covered to be aboard. immigration
Inspector Earned was notified of the
presence Of the men on the ship and he
took charge Of them, and will cause
their deportation back to Japan, where
they win suffer the penalty prescribed
in the japanese law.
The severe penalty which is provided
for Japanese who escape from the
country explains the efforts Of deported
Japanese to escape from outgoing
steamships. About dozen deported
Japs have jumped into the river during
the past eight Of ten months, in sew
eral instances the men having been
handcuffed. Satisfied that death awaits
them at home, they brayed almost cer-
tain death in the waters Of the Colum-
bia, and 1t is now believed that every
man who leaped into the river drowned.
Several bodies have lately been found
along the river. and of these four or
Ave were identified as those of Jap
anese.

ed last year from the Military acade-
my, whose father and grandfather,
both of them admirals, were on the
retired list of the navy at the same
time
The instances of the gallant sons OF
heroic sires who have donned the uni
form of Uncle Sam might be still fur
Their extended. Doubtless one reason
why names are perpetuated in the ar
my list from generation to generation
is that high ranking officers are anx-
ious to put their sons into the service
and use their influence in Washington
to that end. The nonpartisan appoint
ments which the president makes to
the army and navy are usually given
to such applicants. Undeniably. how
ever, the military impulse and genius.
like many other qualities. are heritn-
bic, and this probably accounts in large
measure for the fact that the scionS OF
fathers adopt so commonly
and with so much alacrity the profes-
sion of arms. The military spirit
plainly runs in the blood.

ington than there is between a pIucked
hen and the American eagle"
Then Fred sailed in. The two ham,
mered each other until they were sepa-
rated by older cadets. who told them
that Fort Clinton ditch was the proper
place and an hour before reveille the
proper time for engagements of that
sort. The two STRIPPING soldiers fought
it out the next morning at sunrise, and
both afterward went to the hospital.
Fred Grant had other fights while
he was at West Point, though his class
mates declare that he never sought a
quarrel. He had several encounters
with Cadet Quincy OMalley Gill
more, a son OF General Gilmore OF
civil war fame, who, by the way, fur
nishes another instance OF the trans
mission from sire to son of the military
instinct.
1t is a question whether he and
Grant ever finally decided the queS-
ton Of their comparative fighting
qualities. Sometimes one would thrash
the other, and then the operation would
be reversed Fred's classmates always
insisted that, however else he differed
fathers courage and perseverance, and
the same tendency is heard from those
who have been intimately associated
with him in later life.
Another characteristic besides cour-
age and perseverance which the pres
ent General Grant has in common
with his father is that of sticking 10
his friends and doing things for people
because they are his friends. Army
officers who were lucky enough to have
served at West Point with Grant have
since had occasion to thank him for
efforts In their behalf. The present
General Grant Is scarcely less popular
among his milItegy compatriots than
was the elder GSzsGEal Grant.
General Ulysses g. Grants second
son, Ulysses s., known Familiarity in his
youth as Buck" Grant, also inherited
many of the Grant characteristics,
though he chose civil rather than
career The characteristic fea-
lures and military spirit of the great
soldier have, however, descended
more than one generation. No
close study is needed to recognize them
in Lieutenant Ulysses S. Grant. 1.-The
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1904-05-28

hardly be gainsaid that the spirit and
characteristics that contributed to the
greatness of Ulysses S. Grant are re-
produced in remarkable degree in his
son Frederick Dent Grant and in his
grandson Ulysses.
Now in the prime of life, General
Fred d. Grant is almost perfect copy
of his distinguished father at a cor
responding age. He has the same
square face, the same tawny beard,
the same blue eyes and the same quiet
and unobtrusive manner that charac-
terlzed the great silent soldier" The
pictures of General Ulysses S. Grant
taken at the close of the civil war and
those OF Brigadier General L. D. Grant
taken today are strikingly similar.
Veterans who have watched with keen
interest the career OF General Fred
Grant in the Philippines and elsewhere
are well convinced that he is worthy
OF his name and should opportunity
arise would not be found wanting in
those qualities which made his father
one of the most conspicuous OF Amer
lean soldiers.
Fred Grant was with his father on
the field at Vicksburg and for more
than an hour was under heavy fire
without showing the least sign of fear.
AS he was then only twelve years Of
age, the fathers pride was stirred by
his sons exhibition OF courage. The
pluck that Fred Grant exhibited as
cadet ut West Point showed that he
had his fathers fighting stock in him.
He had been in the academy but twen-
ty-four hours when he pitched into
cadet much larger than himself for
supposed insult to his father. At the
conclusion OF the Fourth OF July ora
ton aa upper class man in a spirit
OF banter turned to young Grant and
said:
You know as well as any of us, do
you not. that Washington was the
greatest statesman and the greatest
soldier that this country has ever pro-
ducedT"
ut may be and, probably is a fact
that he was the greatest statesman.

Arthur Macarthur. first governor of
the Philippines. The struggle for first
place in the class was between Grant
and Macarthur. the decision being in
favor of the latter.
Young Macarthur. who has a splen-
did physique and soldierly bearing.
closely resembles his father at n time
when the latter, Il young Wisconsin
lieutenant, earned n medal of honor by
Selling the colors of his regiment at a
critical moment and planting them on
the captured works of the enemy on
the crest Of Missionary ridge, and no
one doubts that the younger soldier is
quite capable OF the exercise OF SINH
lar GOODNESS and bravery If occasion
arose. Young Sheridan is likewise "a
chip of the old block" and could no
doubt. If put to the test, duplicate the
famous ride from Winchester, twenty
miles away" and fight with no less
valor and spirit than did his heroic
and dashing sire.
In the class at West Point just be-
low that from which the three young
soldiers named have graduated is
another gallant son of heroic sire.
This is Sherman Miles. son of General
Nelson A. Miles. Though yet an en-
bryo soldier, he shows in marked de-
gree the qualities which raised his IA
ther from the ranks to the command
of the army Of the United States.
The Spanish-American war brought
into actual service the sons of many
soldiers who had fought in the civil
war, both the north and the south be-
ing represented Among these were
Lieutenant Thomas NJ. Anderson, a son
of General Anderson of civil war fame.

third OF the name He is Frcd Grants
son and was born in Chicago in 1881,
appropriately enough. on the 4th or
July. being named In honor of his
grandfather, who took a special pride
and interest In him. He looks like his
grandfather. His nose, mouth and
Jaw emphasize the strong influence of
heredity in the Grant family. A few
days before his death General Ulysses
S. Grant wrote to the president, asking
him to appoint his grandson to cadet
ship in West Point, and Mr.. Cleveland
gladly did so. he was graduated with
second highest honors from that insti-
tuition last June, assigned to the corps
OF engineers, L. S. A. and is now serv-

high or low. Ordinary social diver

is connected in some way with the

noon musicale or a garden party one
can be sure that the object is to raise
funds for the work of the national Red

the Aikoku Fujinkai Oadies' Patriotic

soldiers, and the talk is all of the boys
who are fighting the Russians in Man

All the women in Japan, native and
foreign, are at work for the soldiers.
American and English ladies are
scarcely less interested in making

brown men who are fighting the Rus
slams than the Japanese women them
selves.
