to whether occident or orient shall
rule Mr.. Latter weighs the matter
thus: "Will it be that dominion over
the Pacific will have passed from the

long-slumbering orient, by the middle

thoroughly that the tide Of commerce
will then have turned and be flooding
back upon us-the orient no longer
the exploited, but the exploiter; Amer
lea no longer sending forth from shop

yesterday in arranging plans for the
beginning of the deliberations All

day and each found note from the
duke advising that preliminary ses-

will be chosen as the permanent pre-
siding officer.
Interesting features yesterday after
noon were the landing of Ambassador

American protected cruiser, Galveston,
and later the arrival of Samuel K.
Gummere, minister to Morocco, the
second American delegate, from Tan
gier on the French cruiser Galilee The
Galveston fired a salute of twenty-one
