West Point as we'll as in New York.
Fortunately not all of this number
came. or standing room even in the
vicinity Of the Cunard pier alongside

through the doorway, half way down
the Pier, the guests saw a curtain of
red, white and blue enclosing the sup

of the pier. Shut in with heavy can

the light from the feStoOns of red, white
ana blue electric bulbs strung from
the center of the room which was form
ed by canopy Of bunting. Between
the round tables, aglOw with red shad-
ed Candida bra, were banked evergreens
and palms.
Just outside the upper room was the
gangway by which the guests went
aboard the Drake. The entire ship was
enclosed i'll heavy CANVAS. Coming
over the side, the guests passed along
the port side to the quarter deck where
Prince Louis received. The tented
walls of the afterdeck were hung with

Japan and America,

The Japanese are very much pleased win
our Mr.. Griscom. and We are very much
pleased with their Mr.. Takahira, and the
suggestion follows that when the two am
bassadorships are established those officials
be appointed to fill them. An excellent
idea. Japan and America are such good
friends their relations would be safe in
sny hands, but If these two men remain
on deck the service they will perform IN
the new era that is opening will be of all
the greater value because of their expe-
renee in the old era that is closed. The
east for us means much, and Japan is now
the greatest power In the east, and Mr..
Griscom knows Japan as few Americans
do. AS for Mr.. Takahira, 1t is super1uous
TO praise him after all that has been said
in his favor, and with his fame with US
so well established.

Filtration and Typhoid.

The health Office records do not show that
typhoid fever has disappeared from the
District since the Introduction OF filtered
water to the mains. The prevalence of the
disease has materially lessened, however,
and the community has undoubtedly gained
greatly by the Improvement. From No
vember TO November II, 1904. 80 new
cases were reported. and In the correspond
ing period this year only SO cases were re-
ported. a gain OF IS per cent in the interest
of public immunity from this disease. That
gain alone justifes the expense of the work.
But 1t unquestionably does not fully meas
ure the advantage of the filtration of the
water. In the first place. some Of the new
cases OF typhoid have probably come to
Washington from beyond the District. Some
of them come from the eating of uncooked
vegetables. and some from polluted milk.
IL II were possible to identify exactly and
to eliminate all the typhoid cases attrib-
utable to other causes than the water sup
ply, It would probably be found that the
decrease in prevalence on the score of the
water alone Is as high as IS or so per cent,
perhaps even higher. 1t has been officially
stated that ths Altering e the water re-

Bossism is invited and rendered posslpie Wy

In PENNSYLVANIA alone is there promise
today of reaping permanent advantages
from the upheaval of last week. Gov.
Pennypacker, who owes his place to the
old Quay machine, and has been slow to
realize its malign influences, is now moving
in way which should excite the admira-
ton of all men. If the legislature OF Penn

responds favorably to his recommends

again. Milennial conditions will not be

cannot be resumed.
Elsewhere we must trust to luck. In

will always be in order and more or less

none the worse for the experience. In
Maryland Mr. Germans power is not
