About the Sending of tho Fleet

ter Seriously and Says as to the
Probability of War "There Is No

A Japanese Paper Criticises Our

Government.
A dispatch from Seoul. Korea says
the massing OF the American fleet.
about which the American papers
have applied to Marquis Ito for an
opinion. is semi-officialy discussed
by Ito's administration organ. The
paper says:
I'VE can not help feeling some
misgiving with regard to the signifi-
canoe of the intended massing of
American batlteships In the Pacific,
especially in view of the grandiose
announcement attributed to Presi-
dent Roosevelt to the effect that the
navy would furnish the world with
a startling demonstration of Ameri-
cas- defensive capacity.
at is difficult for us to accept the
assurance that the coming manoeuv-
ers do not possess any connection
whatever with the Japanese-Ameri-
can situation. We regret that Wash
ington thinks it necessary to take
what resembles precautionary
measure.
However, we are not disposed to
attach serious importance to this
matter and have no inclination to
doubt the presidents sincerity in as
suring us of the peaceful nature of
the proposed naval manoeuvers.
Neither have we the slightest doubt
of the pacific and friendly sentiments
Of the American government. The
people toward whom Japan's blame
is probably due are the irresponsible
sections of both nations"
He declines discussion regarding
the sensational agitation of the press.
His sole comment on the probability
of war is:
"There is no feeling in my heart
for this"

That the cost of milk and cream has
advanced enormously since 1900 as the

to the manufacture of butter, cheese,
condensed milk, flour and grist mill

stantial increase in the manufacture of
all these products is shown since 1900

FAST TRAIN WRECKED.
Pennsylvania Flyer pitched and Goes
Down a Bank.

DOWN banks
Pittsburg-F1fty-fou passengers
and a train crew of about a dozen
were injured in the wreck of the
Pennsylvania Special, the 10 hour
train between New York and Chica-
go, which occurred at sharp curve
at Black Diamond, seven miles east
of Johnstown, shortly after midnight.
No one was killed and all the passen-
gers have been accounted for. The
engine and combination smoking car
remained upon the rails, but the three
Pullmans plunged over a so foot en-
bankment into the Conemaugh river.
Fortunately the cars were not sub
merged. A scene of wild confusion
ensued. All Of the passengers were
in their berths and were thrown
promiscuously around the cars. All
the passengers on the train we're in
jured more or less, but with the ex-
ception of John P. Kline of Chicago,
it is said, none of the injured are dan
gerously hurt. The train was run
ming As minutes late and trying to
make UP time. Nobody seems to know
what really caused the accident, but
it is supposed it was caused by the
springing of bolt connecting one of
the rails to the steel tie. The in
jured were taken to Altoona, Green's
burg and this city. A majority of
them, however. proceeded west on
special train. The train was the
finest on the Pennsylvania and many
prominent passengers were aboard
Following the wreck great disorder
prevailed, A special train bearing the
passengers only slightly injured left
for the west before noon. Most OF
the passengers lost their clothing
money and valuables. The attire OF
some of the passengers was very odd
as they were wearing other persons
clothing.
Rev. DR.. Cope escaped without q
scratch, although his car was com
pletely demolished. He even secured
all his clothing.

Among Horsemen.

New Orleans. March l5.-The CRY

principal topic OF conversation
among horsemen for many days. The
field that will 90 10 the post will
undoubtedly be a classic one for q
winter meeting. many crack 3,year.
olds being eligible. The Burlew &
O'NeIl combination Is admittedly a
strong one. including Sir Toddington,
Gid and Judge Post, and 1t Is con-
sidered certain that one OF these
horses will be In the money. Te-
maceo hae been brought here from
los Angeles for the event and will
be heavily backed. Charley Ellison's
Yankee Girl Is also looked upon as
q probable factor In the a
The present meet at the city park
tracks will close tomorrow and on
Monday the racing will again switch
to the fair grounds for the Crescent
city clubs last meeting of the sea-
son. A week from tomorrow the
Crescent city derby. with $4,000
guaranteed, the rich plum Of the
New Orleans season. will be pulled
off. The Rosebud stakes for two.
year olds will be run e Wednes-
dag.
Many OF the horsemen here are
busily engaged in planning cam
paigns for the Bennings meet, which
opens March Is. The bad training
weather in the east Is favorable to
the owners having strings here, as
1t Is likely that the hardened horses
from the winter tracks will have 4
good chance of getting away with a
considerable portion Of the stake
money when pitted against the soft
fasteners.
While they openly scott at the
crusade just in%augurated to put an
end to racing in Louisiana, the 10.
| cal race track men are considerably
worried about the matter. The state
| anti saloon league and the Protest
ant ministers of the state are the
| leaders In the movement and declare
their intention of putting the matter
fairly and squarely before the next
legislature. For many years the law
makers of Louisiana have been able
to dodge this issue, but 1t is likely
that they will 500 be forced to de-
clare themselves. Meanwhile, the
race track promoters are shaking 10
their shoes. They haven't forgotten
what happened to the racing game In
Arkansas, Tennessee and ot:er
states.
