MALCONTENT
SANK TOGO'S VESSEL

Toxic. Sept. 13.-The sudden. sink
ing OF the battleship Mikasa, Admiral
Togo's flagship is thought by many
here TO be connected with the dissat-
sfaotion IN japan over the peace
terms.As yet the cause of the disas-
ter is not known. nor viii it be known
for some time. 10 Is Thought
Government officers We're ordered
TO begin an investigation at once and
are now trying 70 build up chain OF
focts that win explain the reason for
the catastrophe.
The only relieving feature was that
Admiral Togo was not involved In the
affair, being ashore at the time. II In
stated that the casualties among the
officers were one killed. eleven wound
ed and five missing. Practically six
hundred seamen were lost, including
men from other waships who went
10 the rescue
An overcharge of electricity is the
most favored OF the numerous conjec-
lures concerning the cause Of the fire.
The vessel sank in shallow water. and
.it Is believed she can be raised and
repaired.

FORT DUPONT MEN IN
A GRUMBLING HUM0R
Colonel Hoskins Declares
There Is No Ground for
Objections
Special to The Evening Journal.

Philadelphia, Sept. 1S-A special to
The Evening Telegraph from Delaware
City, Del, today says:
A feeling of unrest and general dis
satisfaction with their condition ap-
bears to have seized the enlisted men
5ationed at Fort DUPONT, and mutter-
ngs and grumblings I'LL the atmos-
,here in and about this pisturesquely
htuated fortress.
h Every one of the 21S privates, and
particularly those who have been so
Unfortunate as to be serving time in
he guardhouse, has kick coming
md does not hesitate to express his
ceilings when given an opportunity to
10 so.
What it is all about the men them
selves do not seem to know. Their
principal growls are directed against
he work they are asked to do and
egainst the strict enforcement of army
regulations.
They claim that their lot has been
made harder since Lieutenant Colonel
~ ID. HoslSins has taken command Of
s he fortress, but a talk with that Of
beer quickly dispels that Illusion.
~ "The men are kicking" said Colonel
iosSins, simply because they have
aothing else to do. You will find growl-
RS every army post. and in fact, with
,ut kickers OF some kind, an army
'ost would not be an army post"
An investigation Of the condition of
fairs at Fort Dupont bears out this
, EXPLANATION. TO the casual observer it
ruold seem that the men have an easy
ime of it, and aside from the routine
rmy duties they have practically
|t othing to do.
a The garrison at Fort DUPONT consists
70 two companies of coast artillery
20. 112 and No. 45.
4 The hardest task assigned the
rivates is cutting grass. and this
4 thor is only given to prisoners
Another task which the men consider
ard is guarding prisoners. ..

WASHINGTON LETTER.

President Roosevelt has inaugurated
policy, which he terms, ''the most favor
ed nation treatment for ourselves" and
which both his friends and his opponents
characterize as the sensation of his entire
administration. This policy consists of
demand that American manufactures who
wish to sell supplies to the government to
be used in the construction ofthe Panama
Canal shall make to this government
prices equally as low as they would make
to foreign nation, or individual. The
President takes the ground that had
France completed the canal, American
manufacturers would have been only too
glad to have made to her their lowest
prices, whereas, because their own
government is conducting the great enter,
prise they were prepared to extort the
highest domestic prices. That the Presi-
dents assumption was right in the latter
instance is obvious from the uncontroll-
able, ifimpotent, wrath of the very manu-.
facturers who expected to sell the greatest
amount of material to the Canal Com
mission.
~
The Presidents determination to CONF
pei American manufacturers to make to
their own government as low prices as
they would record to foreigners. took the
form of an order to the Panama Canal
Commission to make their purchases of
machinery and supplies wherever they
could be bought cheapest. 1t had been
found that the Steel Trust was demand
ing $33 ton for steel rails, of which
quantity is needed to relay and double
track the Panama Railway. And while
the Trust was demanding this exhorbitant
price from the United States it was selling
quantities of the same rails in London for
$40 ton, and paying approximately Sc
ton freight. Moreover, the attention of
the President was called to the fact that
Charles Schwab, former president of the
Trust has politically declared that the
cost Of these rails to the Trust is only $I2
ton.
wv
Another instance of extortion was
learned of in the case of two ships which
the Commission had been trying to buy.
American shipbuilders demanded for the
two vessels. $1,000, 900, whereas, foreign
shipbuilders were prepared to furnish
identical ships for $4,000. The Presi-
dent instructed the Commission 10 buy
the ships abroad, but later ordered that
foreign ships be chartered, not bought.
