A Thin War Cloud.

\ war cloud has loomed up portentously
on the first pages and in the editorial
columns Of various city papers this week,
but it has little basis in fact 1t comes
through the announcement Of an admin
istration plan to send, in the fall, II
batteships Of the Atlantic fleet TO San
Francisco Admiral Dewey, as president
of the general board OF the navy, is said
TO be largely responsible for this de-
cision and he believes that the concen-
tration of battleship strength in the Pa
cific is the best guarantee of peace. While
there has been some friction arising from
the treatment Of the Japanese in San
Francisco, the possibility of war between
the United States and japan is extremely
remote.
1t is well to bear in mind that there are
yellow journals" in Japan as we'll as in
America and that the utterantes reproduced
from papers there may not be representa-
tive Of the Japanese people or the policy
OF the government Of Japan
Viscount Aoki, the Japanese Ambassa-
dor, says he has no fear Of war. Minister
Arakawa, who represents Japan in Mex
leo, says the talk of war is foolish, and
Admiral Yamamoto, former minister of
marine in Japan, who has been received
with great consideration by naval officers
and other officials in New York this week.

The plan Of the department Of justice
to apply for federal receivers in cases
where trusts are convicted Of violation Of
the antitrust law will not apply to all
OF the monopolcs which It is now sought
to dissolve II is said that the tobacco
trust and the powder trust are peculiarly
well organized for such action by the gov
ernment to be effective but that a bill
praying for an appointment OF a receiver
for the Standard oil company would not
lie against il. There is no doubt that the
trusts will strongly oppose the new plan
and that the matter will be appealed TO
