TOGO WAITING WITH IS SHIPS
Japanese Fleet Said to be Betwee
Pescadores and North Formosa.

Hongkong, May 11.-A Japanese
merchant captain, arriving here, states
that there are eighty-five Japanese
warships between the Pescadores is
lands and the Formosan port of Kee-
lung.
The Pescadores islands have been
supplied with stores, provisions. and
ammunition sufficient to last the Jap
anese two years. Heavy guns have
been mounted at all strategic posi-
tions.
The ports Of Keelung and Tamsui,
on the island of Formosa, have been
mined and strongly defended. Ship
ping entering there must have naval
pilot. Troops have been stationed ten
miles up the railway from Tamsui.
The men are old, but there is a sprink-
ling Of recruits, who appear to be re-
servists. The total number of Jap
anese troops on the island probably
exceeds $4,000. The German and Am
erican consuls recently strolled acci-
dentally into the fortified zone Of Kee-
lung and were arrested. They We're
released after half days detention
when they explained how they came to
be within the forbidden zone. ~

They base their opinions on the In
crease of population IN eastern cities,
especially In Now York. and steady
trend of growth. In the southeastern
Atlantic seaboard. The only fact
which they find to combat this theory
Is the rapid growth of population IN
the state of Washington.
1t is expected that censuses to be
taken In dozen states during May
and June will throw light on the pres
ent location of the center Of popula-
ton, which the census Of 1900 placed
six miles southeast Of Colum/is. Ind.
The tendency toward reversal Of the
direction Of the center OF population
was noted in the decade between 1890
and 1900 II then moved westward
only u little over fourteen miles. which
Is the smallest movement that ever
has been noted.

London. May 11.--At an informal
conference Of unionists In the house Of
commons last night it was resolved
to send deputation to Premier Bal
four and Foreign Secretary Lans-
dewne urging them not to surrender to
the liberals. but to "see the crisis
thru" Tho ostensibly u spontaneous
movement from the rank and file OF the
party this new turn in politics un-
doubtedly has been inspired from
above in order to checkmate Mr..
Chamberlain, who has recovered his
health and has resumed his public
campaign In favor OF the Immediate
dissolution OF his protective policy
A new reason has been discovered
by the unionists for keeping Mr.. Bal
four In power. It is urged that the
critical position Of foreign politics for
bids the handing over OF the reins OF
government to the liberals. The neu-
trality issue. the Moroccan difficulty
and the troubles in Crete and Mace
donia are cited in this connection.

Mad Thru Hypnotisn,.
Los Angeles. Cal. May 11.-George
d. Blake, recognized as one of the most
brilliant lawyers practicing at the Los
Angeles bar, Is being tried on a charge
OF insanity. Blake's mind began to
wander several weeks ago and since
that time he has grown worse rapidly
until the authorities finally have been
compelled to take him ir charge. All
of his legal business has been taken
out Of his hands and for the last
twenty-four hours he has been confin-
ed to his room in the Washington hotel
under an armed guard.
1t developed yesterday that Blake's
madness came about thru hypnotic In
fluence exerted upon him by clair
voyant, spiritualistic medium and slate

able feature Of the case is the fact that
the woman is now dying at 513 East
Twelfth street Of some disease Of the
brain under which appears to be a
hypnotic spell which she herself cannot
throw off In her wavering between
life and death she calls the name OF
George Blake. Lending color to the
hypothesis of madness thru dual hyp-
notism is the discovery made yester-
day that some weeks ago, q few days
before she fell i'll of this strange mall
ady, Blake and the Freitag woman in
dulged together in sort of occult
orgy, in the course Of which she sub
Jected the young lawyer to her full
