1t is a matter of history that the
Japanese Government some years ago,
before annexation, had designs upon
the Hawaiian Islands. and that large
number of Japs We're sent there as
laborers with the object Of their being
utilized eventually in making Japanese
possessions of the islands. But IL the
Hawaiian authorities are successful in
some of their present plans they will
have sufficient white people in the
Islands within year or two to greatly
outnumber the japanese. They are
now encouraging immigration on
most extended scale. = shipload of over
1900 Portuguese has already left the
Azores, bound for Honolulu. They are
to labor in the cane fields, where the
demand for help is very general be-
cause there are not enough Chinese and
japanese laborers.
These Portuguese Iaborers and their
families are to be followed by $4,000
more. If the Hawaiian officials are sue
cessful in their plans. They already
have $500, 900 raised for the purpose of
these Portuguese to Homo

The President has hunted much in
the last 20 years, and has hunted al
most every kind of wild game on the
North American Continent. The pub
lie is most aware of his encounters
with grizzlies and mountain lions. be,
cause the President himself has writ
ten extensively of these hunts. but he
has also hunted many other kinds of
game, and it was undoubtedly his hope
of an outing in the woods and pos
sible shot at Virginia grouse that en-
ticed him away from the White House
at this time, more than the expectation
of something novel in turkey hunting.

MILITARY SPYING.
All Countries Do u Constantly The
japanese Officer Caught at Manila
Not Likely to Suffer.

| If one could pry into the secret mill
tary archives of any first-class worlt
| power he would find deal more abou
| forts and Notifications than the unfor'
tunate Japanese officer. caught at Ma
Mia the other day, had in his posses
sion. This country has done a lot ol
spying through its Army and Navy Of
| ficers. There are drawings and photo
| graphs of foreign defenses in the pos
session of the War and Navy Depart
/ ments the history of whose acquisi-
ton none of our Department officials
would be willing to divulge.
Accordingly. all things considered
the luckless Jap is by no means an
isolated offender, altho his presence in
Manila and his particular mission at
this time is not likely to increase the
good feeling between the United States
and the Flowery Kingdom. His chief
offense, as Army and Navy officers here
describe it, is in having been caught.
OF course, the Jap officer will be hur-
rfed out of Manila and back home. if
the news dispatch is confirmed. This
country will make representations to
Japan concerning him, that country
will promptly disavow he was acting
under orders, and that will probably
be the end of it.
Some years ago the French Govern
ment informed the authorities at Wash
mgtOn tnat an American Army Offlcer
had been apprehended photographing
French fortifications. The officer was
ordered home Immediately, and the
American Minister at Paris disclaimed
this Governments responsibility, altho
it is known that this officer was acting
under confidential instructions from the
War Department. Capt. Bayley, while
serving as Naval Attache of the British
Embassy here some years ago, was dis
covered making a study and diagram
of Florida harbors and Notifications, in
proximity to the British possessions in
the Bermudas. Representations were
made to London that Capt. Bayley had
been "undesirably active" and the
British Government promptly recalled
him.
Within the past year the United
States has had Army officers in China,
Venezuela, Colombia and other coun-
tries on confidential missions. and as a
result of their work the Office of mill
tary information possesses some valua-
BILE photographs, maps and other data
of those foreign fortifications. Our Off
GERS in each instance were clever
enough to escape detection. Hence 1t
is unlikely that the detection of the
Japanese officer at Manila will be re,
garded as more than a passing incident
in the game that all Nations are play
ing to secure military information about
the countries with which at some future |
time they may be at war.

After negotiations covering a period
or more than two years, the Interior
Department is now giving assurances
that the wonders of the Yosemite Park.
in California, will be made quickly ac-
cessible to tourists when the season
opens next Spring. Secretary Hitch
cock has recently granted a permit for
the construction of a wagon road some
three or four miles long. which will
cost $S5.000. 1t will be one of the most
expensive highways in the United
States, perhaps the most expensive, but
1t Will be the last link needed in the
route between San Francisco and the
Yosemite Valley.
In the last Congress Secretary Hitch
cock set about rearranging the bound
aries of the Yosemite National ParI,
and also about securing from the State
of California the Yosemite Valley,
which is within the Yosemite Park, but
comprises most of the natural wonders
men and women travel far to see. The
most unexpected obstacles were en-
countered. especially from selfish Cali
fornia interests. The Legislature ceded
the valley to the United States. bu,
some peculiar work was done in Com
mittees of Senate and House, whereby
the acceptance of the cession was pre-
vented till last Winter Then the ces-
sion was accepted, but the Interior De-
partment encountered more difficulties
because California officials. enjoying
cosy positions in the valley, refused TO
turn over the property that should pass
into the possession of the National Gov
ernment or to sell the property belong
ing to California. of which the National
Government should be the purchaser
Even the Attorney-General of Califor-
MIA interposed an official opinion that
the National Government could not
have the buildings erected in the valley
as part Of the cession.

GERS were directed to take possession
and have done SO. The entire Yosemite
Park is now as much United State

GEN. THOMAS NJ. HARRIS.
The Passing Away Of n SpIendidIy Loyal
West Virginia Soldier.


Gen. Thomas Ma Harris. one of the
most NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. produced in
West Virginia.. died at his home al
Harrisvilie, VIVA, Sept. 30, 1906.
He was born in Virginia, and in the
angry disputes which preceded the Sc
cession of Virginia, he was among the
leaders of the loyal men who stood
firmly by the Union. and finally Sc
ceded from Virginia, remained with
the Government and organized new
State. He at once set himself to rails
ing regiment, which became the 10th
w. Va. This was raised mostly in the
border Counties, and as soon as the
nucleus of company was formed the
men We're armed, a Lieutenant was
commissioned and the squad was set
to active work in clearing the country
OF guerrillas and bushwhackers who
were springing up in response to the
Vaccinations of the SeceSsionists By
the most tireless energy he developed n
force of this kind, which operated over
a front of sometimes 100 miles in
length, and so successfully that all of
the marauding bands were cleaned out
or chased beyond the borders by the
time the regiment was filled and it's
organization completed early in 1862.
Then Gen. Harris was commissioned a
Lieutenant-Colonel to date from March
IT, 1862, but was soon promoted to
Colonel, and then placed in command
of brigade. He was brevetted a Brig
adier-General for gallant and meritori-
Gus services at Middletown. Va, and
Major-General for gallantry in the as
sault on Petersburg, where he COM
manded the Third Brigade of the In
dependent Division, Twenty-fourth
Corps, which did such magnificent work
in the assault upon the enemy's works
at Hatcher's Run and in the capture of
service until April 80. 1866. A monu-
ment to him will be a school house,
built largely by private subscriptions,
upon the beautiful site of five acres
near his home, which he donated for
that purpose.

THE COMING SESSION.
Talk About What Congress Should, Can
and VIII Do Already Begins-PreIimi-
nary Pow.Wows.

The pow-wowS which always precedt
a session of Congress will soon be in
full swing. Many of the statesmen like
to come down to Washington early and
have their views spread broadcast in
the newspapers. Those who come early
on such missions are more likely tC
succeed, because the newspapers quick
ly weary of the views unless there be
something original and forcible in
them. OF course, there are some who
Shun the ante-Se sSon notoriety, and
they are largely the men whose opin-
ions have weight with their associates
1t is almost as interesting as the night
before big convention-these ante
session periods in Washington. The ho-
tells are full. There is plenty of ami
nation.
The dominant themes in the ex-
changes of Congressional opinion? One
cannot tell just yet. There will be talk for
month yet about the election outcome
and the significance with reference to
various issues. There will be specula-
ton about the Presidents message and
about his plans for reducing swollen
fortunes. There will be discussion
about currency reform. and before No.
vember is over probably one can tell
whether there are any prospects that
Congress will take up that subject at
the short session this Winter The SEN
tinent for such legislation will likely
be in the negative. but there is no tell
ing what the effect of a vigorous rec
ommendation by the President might
have or how far he might make Speak
er Cannon relent, should personal
appeal be made for action by the House
Cuba will figure some in the talk
What shall our declared policy be, and
shall the United States saddle the ex-
penses of Intervention in Cuba upon the
Cubans?
The Big Navy.
And there is bound to be a lot of
spirited but friendly wrangling among
Senators and members about the big
Navy the President wants. The rivalry
of European Nations during the past
Summer in constructing giant battle
ships will be brought to notice The
plans for one big ship have just been
turned over to Secretary Bonaparte,
and by him will be forwarded to Con-
gress for approval. The House Naval
Committee, as usual, VIII probably
want to build more very big warships
and the Senate Naval Committee will
take a conservative stand.
The friends of several measures that
failed last session will be on the ground
early trying to push those measures
through at the short session. Secretary
of War Taft will be putting his shoul-
der to the Philippine tariff wheels. The
bill has passed the House, but hangs in
the Senate. Perhaps the Secretary can
persuade the Senate to vote on it be-
fore March 4 next. At the same time
the beet-sugar interests will be here
fighting the passage of the bill siren
uously. The old story for and against
the legislation will be told again. The
fight on the immigration bill that pass
ed the Senate and then passed the
House in quite different form. only to
be hung up in conference, will probably
be renewed, but whether law will be
the outcome or whether the entire leg
islation will die with the close of the
Congress is too hard question for the
political prophets.
