explained that he had not retained one
interest that could be affected by legis-
lation. Men as unique as Senator
Perkins appears to be are apt to be
interesting. His brief article in the
current number of the Independent"
on THE United States Senate and the
People" is worth reading.
The senator has read the work of
the senate's critics, but he says that
lit Is as certain as that the sun will
rise tomorrow morning, that the
course OF the senate in connection with
the great issues of the day will be
approved by the impartial historian"
The work of the prophet may be de-
scribed as extra hazardous, especially
when it involves cutting out opinions
for future historians, but Mr.. Perkins's
prophecy is interesting. He believes
that the present senate will rank in
history as one which has exhibited
In the highest degree the qualities of
fairness and impartiality, determine
ton to arrive at the truth, and cour-
age to maintain the truth as found
against the popular demand for hasty
and inconsiderate action" Many will
be interested in his answer to the
statement, SO often made, that the sem
ate is millionaires' club. He says
that, leaving out of consideration one
senator, the average possession of
eighty-nine members will not exceed
those Of the business man, manufac-
turer, farmer or professional man of
the new England or middle states.
Speaking personally of some sena-
tors with whom he has served, he
says: "Of the many great men who
have influenced the course Of events
in their time will refer to only four,
with whom have been officially as
ISOLATED during the last decade. They
have since passed away, but their
lives and records are part of the
history of our country. / refer to Sen

and Senator D. w. Voorhees, of In

who does not believe that their earnest
efforts TO arrive at truth voiced the
conservative spirit of the senate %
He says that men like these could
not be driven into hasty action or
blinded to the necessity of viewing
proposed legislation in all lights.
Senator Perkins defends two of his
predecessors in the senate-Senator
Stanford and Senator Hearst-from
the charge, often made in the old
days, that they were tools of monopo-
lies. He believes that both these men
earned their great fortunes, the one
in building the first transcontinental
railroad, the other in mining, and that
the work of each vastly benefited the
public. He believes that the critics
who now lombard the senate will, a
few days hence, acknowledge that
they were wrong.

FINAL BURIAL OF
JOHN PAUL
JONES
A Brilliant Ceremony Partici.
pated in By Americans
and French.
Associated Pres. to The Evening Times,

as*ociated Prenn to The Evening Times.
Annapolis, Md, April 24.-Amid the
enthusiastic demonstrations of great
concourse of people, the remains of
Admiral John Paul Jones. which were
found in Paris after months of patient
research conducted by Ambassador
Horace Porter and brought to this
country on an American warship last
fall, were today removed from the
temporary receiving vault to Bancroft
hall, where the body will remain pend
ing the completion of the memorial
chapel of the United States Naval
academy. Seldom has an event pre-
scented so many brilliant and impress
sive features and at the same time
given occasion for the manifestation
OF the strong bonds of friendship be-
tween the French republic and the
United States. For the first time in its
history the naval academy saw rank
on rank of French seamen swinging
across the parade ground and ming
ling their cheers with those of the
American bluejackets, while at the
same time the French tricolor was en-
twined with the Stars and Stripes. and
the sound of the "Marseillaise" was
heard along with the Star Spangled
Banner"
The ceremonies took place in the
armory of the naval academy this af-
ternoon. Shortly before noon a spe-
cial train arrived from Washington
bringing President Roosevelt, Secre-
tary Bonaparte and other distinguish
ed officials. Carriages we're in wait
ing at the station, ana the president
was taken to the residence of Admiral
Sands, cOmmandant of the academy,
where luncheon was served to about
one hundred guests, who included
French admirals. Admiral Dewey, Gov
ernor Warfield and others.
Admission to the armory was by
ticket and the midshipmen of the
academy were given first preference.
Altogether there were more than 1000
in the audience, while countless scores
thronged the academy grounds to
which the public was freely admitted.
President Roosevelt and his party were
escorted to the armory by squad of
cadets. When the president arrived
at the armory the entire assemblage
rose and greeted him with cheers.
The interior of the structure was taste
fully decorated. On every hand the
colors of France and America were
blended, the stage being hung with
great folds of red, white and blue
bunting. On the platform were seated
only six persons-President Roosevelt.
the French ambassador, Secretary
Bonaparte, Admiral Sands, General
Horace Porter and Governor Warfield.
Occupying seats near the stage were
Admiral Campion and the captains and
other officers of the visiting French
warships and many distinguished rep
resentatives of the United States navy.
After an impressive invocation,
President Roosevelt delivered the prin-
cipal address of the day. He spoke
in strong voice and with great earn
estness, pausing frequently at the out
bursts of applause. The president was
followed by three other speakers
General Porter. Ambassador Jusserand
and Governor Warfleld.
The remaining ceremonies of the
day were very brief. The body of
Admiral Jones was taken out of the

G1NkO REPORTS THE BALL.
European Dancing Of Thirty Years
Age Through Japanese Eyes.

A correspondent sends us, says
London Daily Graphic. the translation
of description of a bali given to the
British by French marines on Feb.

later in the Nichi-Nichi Shimbun of

of Yokohama by the British and
French troops, who. at last. after a
sojourn of more than 10 years, are
about to return to their native, coun-
tries, it was determined to give them
farewell ball. The town hall of Yo-
kohama was lent for the purpose, and
the day before yesterday was fixed
on for the festivity.
Gas Jets shaped like flowers had
been previously placed around the
exterior of the edifice. and as their
flame, following the impulse of the
breeze, was not suddenly extinguished
and then as suddenly darted again
into light the effect resembled that of
fireworks At the corner of the first
ward of the main street was stationed
a body of firement with their engines,
in the event of fire. and outside the
gate of the town hall stood a body of
Japanese sailors on guard. who. at
the word of command, presented arms

burg so that their goods can be in
New York custom house within 10
days after leaving Plauen. The rate
for this quick transportation to the
German ports, instead of being more
than the usual express charge, is even
less than by slow freight, and applies
solely to merchandise exported to
trans-oceanic countries. The exporter
has every opportunity to forward his
product with celebrity, and is greatly
aided in his export trade by the rail-
road managers. The usual method is
to attach a special car to the latest
available fast train, SO that an ex-
porter's case of lace reaches the
steamer almost as promptly as do the
mails.
THE rates from Plauen to Bremen
for export express are only 50 cents
per 100 pounds for distance of 315
miles, and to Hamburg 81 cents per
100 for 300 miles. If the goods are
not for export the usual rate for ex-
press, taking longer time, would cost
nearly three times as much. The mat
ter of export reduction is carefully
systematized and full details must be
given at the railways, including the
country whittier the merchandise is
to be exported. Penalties are levied
if this exceptional rate is used for
holding goods for transshipment at
one of the seaports to another point
inland or by land across the frontier.
If the declaration does not clearly
state on the case for export over
sea and to foreign countries the con-
siderable decrease in the transporta-
ton rate will not be allowed, even
when the merchandise is actually to
be shipped abroad.
ut will be observed that this ar
rangement is very marked conces-
sion on the part of the state railroads.

JUD LETS EN-
TALK
f. c. Myrick Of Pembina Praises Jud
La M0ure as a Man Not Looking for
Public Office But Ever on the Alert
in the interests OF His Party.

F. c. Myrick. a retired farmer resid-
ing near Pembina. member of the
board of county commissioners of the
county by that name, and former
chairman of the board, was visitor
in Grand Forks today. Mr. Myrick
is very much interested, and has been
for years. in tn epolitics of the state.
Discussing some recent inventions ON
which the Grand Forks Herald holds
letters patent, pertaining to the politi-
cal situation in Pembina county, Mr..
Myrick said:
ut is really amusing to read some
of the illusions which appear from
time to time in the Grand Forks Her.
aid anent the political situation in
Pembina. l do not know who is re-
sponsible for this stuff but I am
sure that the people of my section will
bear me out in the statement that the
Herald comes about as near to repre-
senting the actual conditions as the
shadow of bear does a f1ea The re-
publicans Of my county come as near
to being harmonious as it is possible
to find members of any political party
in any section of the country.
These fellows like Phil st. Amour
of Walhalla, who break loose with
howl now and then, do not cut much
ice. They are not representative but
are the exception rather than the rule.
"Jud LaMoure doesn't give a snap
how much they jump onto him or
abuse him. He never answers, simply
says nothing and saws wood. AS re-
suit, when the time comes to reap the
harvest. he has the votes tucked safely
under his wing. He is a man who is
not seeking Office at the hands of the
people, but simply has at heart the
good of his party. his state and his
nation. He is we'll liked on this ac-
count. If not for the reason that he is
always the same Jud, good-natured
and whole-souled. He is strong with
the people mainly on this account"
Mr.. Myrick had no fear but that the
principles of the republican party
would be upheld in his county, despite
the insurgent factory established by
the Herald at Walhalla.

: DISCRIMINATION BY GERMANY
: Railroads Give Quick Transit of
Exports ut Favored Rates.

Consul Hurst of Plauen suggests
that American manufacturers hardly
realize the unusual facilities offered
German exporters in the way of rapid
and cheap transportation for goods

This comes into notice more par
ticularly in the case of merchandise
that can be easily handled. Nowhere
is it of greater advantage than to the

found in the past that failure to con-
meet with a certain steamer often made
a vast difference to the large wholesale
importers in the United States, and
some years ago an advantageous ar
rangement for the Ge.Iaan exporter
was effected with the railroads lead
ing from the farthest manufacturing
towns to the seaboard. Although near
ly all of the German steamers are
