WHY PRAYER WAS HELD.
Captain Philip Relates Incident on
Texas" at Santiago.
(Chicago RAiewD

Being a newspaper man myself.
was inclined to doubt that story about
Captain Philip. Of the Texas, holding a
prayer service at the end of the Santi-
ago naval battle" said Congressman
c. B. lands of Indiana a few days
ago. 'I determined If the opportunity
ever offered to ask for information
from some one who was there when the
newspapers said that the incident oc-
CURED.
Some time after the war 1 was at
Wilmington, Del, on business, and
asked the clerk at the hotel what ship
it was. He said it was in Texas. And
Jack Philip commands her. said l. L
wish 1 could see him.
q" He sits there. said the clerk, and
pointed across the hotel lobby to man
who fitted perfectly my idea of the
American sailor. 1 walked over and in
troduced myself. We breakfasted to-
gether. and afterward he took me to
the ship, where L spent the entire day.
We returned to Wilmington together
that night, he to go to New York and
TO go to Washington. 1t was not until
we had almost touched the dock sum
moned up the courage to ask him about
the prayer meeting. But did st.
He looked at me rather curiouSly
and hesitated in answering But this
is something OF what he said 10 me i'm
the dusk of that night as we f1oated be-
tween the lights of the city and the
lights Of the ship: Mr.. Lands. there
are some questions which we hesitate
to answer. for they touch our hearts
deeply. When i was a boy up in New
England my mother taught me TO pray
and can repeat to you whole chapters
that L then learned from the Bible
Men say sailors are wicked; perhaps
they are; but there never was a man
so wicked who forgot the teachings at
his mothers knee when a child and
who falls to support himself with the
recollection I'm crises. Well. sir, # is
true, When the battle ended and the
smoke lifted from the face of the water.

We were crowded i'm the bleacherS-not a

For the visitors were scoring and the end
was drawing nigh
tbs an awful thing tor rooters to be wit
Messing a game
Where the fielding of the locals is a
measly, blooming shame.
suddenly our hearts grew lighter, for we
heard a robin sing
Which is what the soulful poets call a
"harbinger of spring
And to cap the robins climax, someone
shouted. Look az thatr
And q bleacherite was spotted with a
brand-new sailor hat.
Then arose our dropping spirits and a
wave of laughter spread
when he rose and cheered the locals,
jerking from his tousled head
mat straw lid all new and shiny, while
his voice resounded far,
And we thought about the story of the
helmet of Navarro
Thought about the glorious vict'ry and
the way IT came about;
And from bleachers and from grandstand
leapt a mighty. Joyous shout:
Hearing which the willy foemen lost their
cunning at the bat
AND the home team won the battle.

What Caused the War.

Nothing could be more clearly il
Illustrative of the crookedness of Euro
pean procedure in Oriental politics than
the manner in which Russia provoked
the present war. When japan was
denied the right to occupy the penin-
sula of Liaotung, after her successful
war with China the main reason given
was that the integrity of the latter
would be imperilled if a foreign power
occupied that territory. Three years
later Russia stepped in and braZenly
took possession herself without offer
ing apologies to any one. Not satisfied
with this the diplomats of the car ne
gotiated- a, treaty with the king of
Korea while he was a refugee in the
Russian legation at Seoul. This was
osrensibly a timber concession, but the
document was purposely put together
so loosely that Russia could arbitrarily
interpret it to mean almost anything
she liked.
When the Russians began fortify-
ing along the banks of the Yaiu river,
almost in sight of the shores of Japan.
there was no mistaking their inten-
tiOnS. The japanese had to act quick
~ and the splendid way in which they
met the crisis has aroused the aston
ishment OF the world. Had they been
unable to make an alliance 10 insI-Se
fair play and afterward to defend
their rights by force, pitiabIe indeed
would have been their condition to-
day"

| need be no apprehension about their

point which is always overlooked by

Is that Japan's national ambition can

she has the friendship of two or more
OF the great nations. In her present

England as well as the closest sympa-

duct herself in such manner as not to
affront the friends whose influence she
Knows is vital to her very existence.
The European powers would com
pine against Japan and crush her for
no other reason than that she stands
in the way of their lawleSS depreda-I
tions. There can be no other expla-
nation Of their hatred for her. They
refer to her people as a heather tribe
despite the fact that they represent
European ideals and have assimilated
the best phases Of western progress to
an astonishing degree of perfection.
Is there anything in Japan's conduct
during the present war that saVors Of
barbarism? There is no sense to the
argument that if Orientals are edu-
Gated lney VIII become dangerous TO
Occidentals. Civilization enlightens
people, irrespective of race and color,

my friend, you can't blame the Orieu-

Cost Of War to japan.
Arrangements have already been
made to finance the campaign until
March, 1905, the amount necessary TO
swing such stupendous operations be
ing the gigantic sum Of $3.50, OOO, 600
Such expenditures are naturally a
great drain upon a people whose
power of producing wealth is so small
as that of the Japanese Aside from
all this the capacity Of the country to
produce wealth has been greatly less
ened by the withdrawal of upwards of
a million men to take part in the mill
tary operations Many fields are not
under cultivation now because the
owners are at the front. Even the
most casual student can readily see
that with all this obligation resting on
her shoulders Japan viii not be anxi-
Gus TO continue at war a day longer
than she can help.
The idea that Japan. even If she
cared to, would be able to mobilize the
great population OF China. is another
absurdity. The temperament of the
Chinaman is such that there is little
hope of his ever becoming a soldier
The provinces of China are so remote,
and the interests of the people so sep
arate, that there is little hone OF ever
combining them in any great move
ment. The threat to boycott Ameri-
can interests has no prospect of be-
coming national Chinese issue None

hood of Canton. which furnishes near

Hurrah For the Japs.

The reading of many volumes would
not give a person a. better idea of the
eastern situation than this conVersa-
ton between the two club men. The
remarks of Mr.. Dash relative to the
Yellow Peril are worth passing in
your hat. He Dricks the bubble with
argument 50 pointed that il is incon-
trovertable. All this noise about the
white races being tramDled under foot
by a yellow stampede is nonsense. 1t
emanates from Europe and is a case
OF captured rogue raising the cry of
stop thief. If they got their just de-
serts there is more than one European
power which deserves a logging at
the hands OF the Orientals Japan is
fighting for the open door, and a
square deal, therefore Americans
need have no fear of the future.
There is really nothing alarming in
the suggestion that the Japanese
may become competitors for the trade
of the east. because competition is
stimulating to business. If there is an
open market Americans will undoubt-
eddy be able to hold their own in most
lines and, even if the Japs get the bet
ter of us in some instances, our inter-
ests will be better served in the long
run by losing fairly to them than to
have whole regions altogether closed
to US merely because the Europeans
