NAVAL PROGRAM
IS NOT NEW MOVE
SENDING FLEET TO PACIFIC PART
OF PLAN WHICH SENT Il
DOCK TO ORIENT.
NOTHING TO DO WITH JAPAN
POLICY OF LATE SENATOR DAVIS
is NOW BEING CARRIED
OUT.

Washington, July 1.-THE confirma-
ton by Secretary OF the Navy Metcalf
OF the plan to send a naval feet to
the Pacific waters, coupled with a be-
lated admission at Oyster Bay OF the
correctness Of that report. Is consider
ed important for several reasons.
OF course this action on the part OF
the administration has no connection
with the war scare about Japan. but
1t is not out of place to say that what
ever of misinformation and scare
stuff has been floating throughout the
country has been due in part at least
to the want Of candor among the Off
Gals of the government in dealing
with the subject.
1t is regarded as unfortunate in
every respect that in several OF the de-
navy, there is a disposition toward
secrecy and the giving Of misleading
answers to direct questions. which
makes more for trouble than does all
the wal scare stuff printed by the
yellow journals printed in this coun-
try and Japan.
The fact is that the sending Of the
big ships OF the navy to the Pacific is
in line with a policy adopted long ago,
and for which the preparations, in
Guiding the sending Of the dry dock
Dewey to the Philippines, have been
In progress for two years.
Urged by Minnesotan.
Aora {bon +h;c ~ {o J,o ~ tho
memory Of the late Cushman K. Da-
Wis, so long senator from Minnesota
and chairman Of tho foreign relations
committee of the senate, to say that
his policy is approved now that the
United States is devoting Increased
attention to the Pacific.
Through all the later years of his
life Mr.. Davis omitted no opportunity
for directing attention to the increas-
Ing Importance to the United States
of affairs in the Pacific. His views in
that direction were strengthened by
his service OF the peace commission
after the Spanish war.
More Ships and More Men.
Ever since the acquisition Of the
Philippines the government has been
engaged upon plans for Strengthening
its hands along the Pacific and doing
everything ossible to enforce the open
door policy in trade as well as to pro-
tect American interests In the Philip
pines and Hawaii, as we'll as in the
Orient generally. Much Of the pres
ent program for the movement of bat
tleships constitutes a mere practice
cruise. but the larger part Of the feet
will not be returned to the Atlantic
and the next session of congress will
witness increased pressure for more
ships and men to strengthen the navy
on both oceans.

STEAMER CARGO TAKES FIRE.
Monterey Is Beached Whih Crew
Ejuhts Flames.

New York, July 7.-While the Ward
line steamer Monterey. Capt. Smith.
which arrived last night from Vera
Cruz, Progresso and Havana, was be-
ing inspected by the health officer at
quarantine. dense volumes of smoke
suddenly poured from the forehold,
where were stored 800 bales of hemp
and a quantity Of sugar and wood.
The smoke was so dense that it
was impossible to get into the chain
locker to weigh anchor, and the
steamer was headed for the mud flats
of Clifton landing. where she was
beached. The captain did not sum-
mon assistance. but relied on the
steamers fire-fighting apparatus,
which proved sufficient. The fire was
discovered at Z O'clock and was under
control two hours later.
Part of the cargo has been damaged
by fire and water.
The steamer had on board 12O pas
sengers, Is in the saloon. 30 second

connecting-up testimony that has been
promised is forthcoming.
Orchards Story Attacked.
The defense operated along nearly
all of its lines. There we're attacks on
Orchards testimony at several points;
there was a showing that union min
ers had been abused by the mine own
ers and militia at Cripple Creek and
Telluride; that P1nkerton agents had
advised violence and endeavored to-
prolong a strike; a woman who serv-

Washington, July 8. - The report
upon the Brownsville Investigation by

this time that it will pave the way for
the discharged colored soldiers to re-

he will make no minority report.
There are assurances also that Presi.
dent Roosevelt will be satisfied with
this result.
The program as outlined provides:
First-The committee will make no

Oyster Bay, N. Y, July 8.-The sig
nifcance of Rear Admiral Brownson's
addition to the somewhat meager in
formation which has come from Pres
dent Roosevelt regarding the conteM
plated two-ocean maneuver of the
Atlantic battleship fleet is regarded
here as having been overlooked in the
comment, expert and otherwise,

both continents.
Show what we Can No..
When he left Sycamore Hill to take
the train for Washington the admiral
had one thought which he wished to
emphasize-that it was desirable and
important to demonstrate to the world
how quickly the American navy could
transfer it's fighting strength from
one ocean to the other. President
| Roosevelt has been consistent in adj
vocating a large navy as the surest
guarantee of peace between the Unit
| ed States and all foreign powers. He
now proposes to give the world a
somewhat startling demonstration of
what the American navy is capable of
doing to protect either or both of the
extended shores of the United States.
Guarantee of Peace.
While it is asserted with all posi-
BILE emphasis that there is no founda-
ton for apprehension of trouble, i'm
mediate or future, between the Unit
cd States and Japan, the proposed
demonstration with the feet can be
looked upon in no other light than
that President Roosevelt intends to
use the American navy for exactly
that purpose for which he has advo-
Gated it's augmentation, a guarantee
of international peace.

ROCKEFELLER TELLS LITTLE.
Oil Trust Magnate Was Willing but
Unsatisfactory Witness.

Chicago. July 9.-John D. Rockefel-
Ter, president of the Standard Oil
Company of New Jersey, occupied the
witness stand in the United States
district court Saturday while Judge
Lands piled him with questions re-
garding the financial strength and the
business methods of the corporation
of which he is the head.
MIR. Rockefeller was a very willing
n an equally unsatisfactory witness.
He was ready to tell all that he
knew, but he said that he knew prac-
tically nothing. The net result of his
examination was that he believed that
during the years 1903, 1904 and 1905,
the period covered by the indictments
on the which the Standard Oil Com
pany Of Indiana was recently convict
ed, the net profits of the Standard Oil
Company of New Jersey were approx
tmately 40 per cent Of an outstanding
capitalization of 500, 900. 200.
Told by Rockefeller and Aids.
Briefly summarized, the secrets re.
vealed by John ID. Rockefeller and his
associates we're:

sey holds s499.5 of the $1,000, 900
worth of the capital stock of the
Standard Oil Company of Indiana.

employ of the Pinkerton agency at
Denver to write a book In which lie
published certain correspondence OF

hands, was again yesterday the prin-

The prosecution attacked Friedman
on the ground that he had played the
Pinkertons false, had violated his
pledge to them and had stolen the
documents which he produced, but the
witness would not admit that he mad
stolen the papers. He insisted that it
was not stealing to take information
that had been obtained by deceit. He
said that IL he had known this trial
was coming up he would have taken
many more letters and reports.
