A NEW SEA POWER.

The pre-prOspective strength Of the Japanese navy. when the building programs are carried to completion, which will be in two years, promises that the combined sea power of that nation and Great Britain which are; bound by the treaty to act together in defense of the Asiatic possessions of either, will be overwhelming Japan has ventured on a gentle re- nlonstrance that the British army is rot what it ought to be in the, event Of war, but there is no necessity of touching upon the combined might ot the two nations By captures and by salvage of Russian ships Japan has gained six battleships. three cruisers, two coast defense vessels. two gunboats and three torpedo boat deetroy'esrs. This is partially offset by her loss of twelve fighting ships to the Russians, but her net gain is four.
 In the coming two years 3s war vessels. including four battleships. will have been completed, and the en- tire Japanese army will consist of 11s fighting machines. exclusive of tor pedo boats and submarines, While she has to depend on English yards for the construction of some of the new ships, she is establishing plant that will make her indennndent of foreign facilities except for tho supply of armor plate, for which '" will have to go abroad until her mil' men can obtain the raw materia' within her own confines and lNar', how to work it up to the finished nroduct. But for that furnishment she has the Aworican and Eno'ish mills to depend upon, and they are not likely to be ever closed to her. Thus. pron the seas at least. the AngloJapanese alliance becomes cas-

FROM GULF TO
 CHICAGO IN SHIPS.

Chicaso, May 2f.-The grave pos sibility'' of a war with England, coupled with a word picture of the mammoth British battleship Dread naucht bombarding Chicago at a range of ten miles, while the proposel American rival trecently nicknamea the "Skeered O Nothin',' by John Sharp Williams) lay useless at the nouth of the Mississippi river. was presented last night as sufficient
 reason for the construction o1 a f.ilrteen-faot deep waterway from Chicago to the gulf The idea was presented by Henry T.. Rainey, mem bed a1f congress from the Twentieth Illinois district, at a banquet of the Chicago Commercial, association al the Sherman house.
 The banqueters were addressed by five members of congress, all advo- cates of water transportation as a remedy for the high freight rates of the railroads.
 The speakers included Congress ran William Lorimer of Chicago, Congressman James P. Ransdel of Louisiana, chairman of the executive committee of the national rivers and harbors association; Congressman James Davidson of the Eighth district of Wisconsin; Congressman D. c. Elli- son of Missouri and Congressman Rainey.
 E. s. Conway was chairman and D. R. Forgan, president of the Chicago Commercial association, opened the meeting.
 All the speakers advocated the ap- nropriation of all the mdney neces- s.ary for river and harbor improve u,ent. and Congressman Ransdell in .djcted congress as niggardly and stln- cy in this regard. It was declared that out of the total appropriations only {: per cent. has been spent for con- merce, while 40 per cent. has been spent for war. But there was no dis paragement of the defensive agencies of the United States.

GUILTY IN KILLING HUDGiNS.
Twenty-one Years for Ike Pipk'n ana
 Fifteen Years for Tom Pipkin.

Mena. May 24-Accused of assass- mating ex-Representative J. G. Hudg- ins at his home in this county on the night of March last, Ike and Ton Pipkin have been adjudged guilty of murder in the second degree. The iErv. which was out six hours, assess ed the punishment at 21 years Ill the penitentiay fo Ike Pipkin and 15 years for Tom Pipkin It is said that some of the jurors were for acqlittM at first for Tom.
 The two defendants are oU on SlO,- OOO bond each, and an appeal to the supreme court will probably be taken. They were defended by Hal NorWoo3 and Pole McPhetridge. Prosecuting Attorney J, s. Lake was assisted m the prosecution by Chas. V. Teague and B. H. Randolph of Hot Springs.
 A feature of the interesting trial os the two defendants was the appear ance of Ike Pipkin on the witness stand and his frank avowal that he killed Hudgins. He told of the tragedy in simple, staiahtforward way, and his recital was at times intensely in- teresting and dramatic.
 Do you know who killed J. U. Hudgins?" was one of the questions.
 .I do,' replied Pipkin.
 "Who?"
 "I did it." unhesitatingly answered the defendant.
 Pipkin then went on to give the de- tails. He said he went home and found his aged mother crying. Asked to tell what was the matter, she re- piled that MT. Hudgins had talked abusiyely to her. Pipkin says he then secured his gun and went out. He met Tom Pipl1in. told him the trouble and said he was going to make Hudgins apologize. The two went to Hudgins' house and called him out. Hudgins told them. with an epithet, that if they had come there for a TOW he was going back in the house.
 "It made me so mad Ike Pipkin continued. "hecause he would make no statement that shot him. l did not notice that his back was toward me did not put the gun to my shoul- der"
 Mrs. Nancy Pipkin. the aged moth CT of the two defendants. testified that Hudgins came to her house a short time before the killing and called her abusive names and that when Ike came home she told him of it.
 The court house was crowded daily during the trial, so great was the pub lie interest in the proceedings.

COURTS ERROR. MAY SAVE NEGRO.

Jackson, Miss, May 24.-Through the error of Judge W. H. Hardy of the second court district in fixing the date of execution, Red Daniels, Perry county negro recently sentenc- ed to death, may escape the gallows.
 Judge Hardy made the mistake of disregarding section 1442 of the code, which provides that legal executions shall take place "not less than four. TOT more than eight weeks from the date of the sentence" In this in- stance the date of the execution was fixed ten weeks ahead, and this alleged defect has been made the basis of a supersedeas and appeal to the su- rreme court. When the case reaches the last named tribunal. the attor- neys for Daniels will contend that. the statute having been disregarded to death. e> Daniels cannot again be sentenced
 In the meantime the attorneys for Daniels hopes to get new trial grant ed whereby his client will enter, a rlea of guilty to manslaughter and set a short sentence in penitentiary. He was convicted of the 'nurder of an. other negro named Beardlee. tn" tra"- edv growing out of the inevitable craps game, and the negro who was slain was notoriously bad charac-

.N2ECOMlNG LANGUAGE.

 The oatec-,ed Port Worth Tele- .!.an iii it's issne of the 18th instant &es senator Ba icy severely te task T -.@.nS certain statements IS lies" and csr,ain ', Iaons, one of whom is understood tp be MT. Ron-H- welt. as liars saying that the ilh- portance and dignity of the position he occupies demands that he should rise above the traditions (sic) of the fishmarket." Immediately following this editorial is another entitled The Brand Of Ananias," in which the Telegram, with every evidence of approval, says that "he CRoosevelt) has said that number of men are liars" and follows if with list of the most prominent os them, the list being as follows:
 Henry M. Whitney of Boston, who. he said, lied abont d tariff cOnversa- ton with him.
 John r. Wallace, formerly at the head of the Panama canal commits sion.
 Herbert w. Bowen, formerly min isted to Venezuela, whom he sharply rebuked for making charges against LOOmis.
 Alton E. Parker, the Democratic candidate for president in 1904, for saying that the trusts, corporations and insurance companies contributed to the Republican campaign fund of that year.
 George 0. Shields, president of the League of American Sportsmen, after a dispute about the use of automatic. shotguns in the Southwest.
 Senator Thomas c. Platt, very dip lomatically, for announcing that he had forced Representative Olcott for chairman of the New York county committee"
 The Telegram adds: ;"It is proba- ble that he would withdraw the ale gation against Judge Parker if re lations with that gentleman were a little more cordial, for subsequent de- velopments cleared that gentleman from the presidential imputation.
 The El Paso Times notes the con tradictory remarks of the Telegram and calls attention to two. points viz:
 CD If it is unbeconlng a senator te use the term "liaf, ''ssit is that much more unbecoming in the president of the United States.
 CD It is acknowledged that Mir. Roosevelt called Judge Parker liar" when Mr. Parker was telling the truth, and it is also admitted that he would withdraw the epithet eff his relations with MT. Parker were more cordial It is universally recognized as the imperative duty as we'll as the pleasure of a gentleman who has in suited another to apologize lmme- diately upon finding himself in the wrong. Mir. Roosevelt has not done this. nor does he intend to do so, for he is a self-convicted moral cowar1. As to the ethical phase of the propo- sition. the public will draw it's own conclusions. :
 Evidences multiply daily that::air. Roosevelt is a man rich in words, but poor in performance, and it. is being borne in upon the public mind that 1 the head of the, nation is very. far from being the ideal Of statesmanship or of good manners.

A SEA LEVEL CANAL.

The Graphic believes that the sen ate committee in voting to adopt sea level canal acted with wisdom and discretion. This has been much mooted question with those charged with the responsibility Of constructing the Panama canal. The action of the senate committee, how ever, is in accordance with the recon mendation of majority of the con- sulting engineers called to meet in Washington and embracing a num- ber of the most distinguished en- eineers of the old world. The decis- ion was largely brought about by the recent earthquake in California. Pan- anna is known to be in the earthquake zone and the fear that a quake might render serious if not permanent in- jury to a lock and dam canal result cd in a decision in favor of sea level canal
 It is a somewhat notable fact that while the foreign engineers, with hardly an exception favored the sea level canal the American engineers were practically. unit. in favor Of lock canal. President Roosevelt Joined the minority in favor of the lock canal and explained. the singular division of expert opinion by the fact that the Suez canal is at sea level, while the Sault Ste. Marie canal is lock canal-the most important one of that type in the world. It is claimed to be fact not generally known that the tonnage of the great lakes canal is three times that of the Suez canal and is greater than the combined tonnage of the Suez, Man chester. Kiel and Amsterdam canals, although for several months 1t IS closed by ice. Vessels of 569 feet in length and 56 feet beam pass safely through the locks.
 The minority engineers endeavored to show that it will take twenty years to build tide level canal and cost $272. .00o, GOO. while the lock canal can be finished in less than half the time and the estimated cest is but $40, ,00O, ,000, while the annual expense for maintenance. including fixed charges will be $2. COG. 900 less. Other conclusions of the minority were that the lock canal provides greater safety for ships and gives them quicker passage; that it can be more easily and cheaply enlarged and can be de tended just as well.
 With the president. Secretary Tart and the canal commission favoring the lock canal the impression was that congress would decide that way but, after long hesitation. the senate committee on interoceanic canals de c,ares for the tide level and 1t now remains to be seen whether that oe' cision will stand.
 If may be recalled that at the time of the meeting of the board Of con sulting engineers it was suggested by two of the experts in attendance of the meeting of the board Of con structed with the idea of an ultimate sea level and might be uninterrupt- edly in operation while work m the sea level progressed, In other words + was the expert opinion that the lock canal might be completed sooner and made to serve a temporary pur- nfse until the sea level could be reached. Perhaps the idea may be
