MANILA, October 17.-Osmena, ex-
governor of the province of Cebu, was
elected president of the Philippine as
sembly after the formal opening exer-
cises, presided over by Secretary of
War Taft.
Secretary Taft, in the speech made
by him before the assembly, stated
that his views regarding the ultimate
independence of the Philippines were
unchanged, but he said that he did not
believe that the Filipinos would be fit
ted for entire self-government and in~
dependence during the present genera
ton. He denied that the United States
had any intention of disposing of the
Philippine Islands by sale to any for
eign power He expressed his belief
that the Filipino members of the Leg
islatufS would be conservative in
whatever legislation was enacted.

The Philadelphia Ledger's Washing
ton correspondent sent the following
to his paper:
The opponents of the proposed cruise
do not seem to take into consideration
the reasons which actuate the Admin
istration. 1t was the attitude of Jap
an which first suggested the cruise,
and an eminent naval officer here
clearly expressed the Administration
feeling about it this morning when he
said:
There hasn't been a cross word
from Toxic since the announcement
was made that our fleet was to go to
the Pacific
OF course no one connected with the
Administration will admit publicly
that this is the motive. To do so
would be tantamount to an unfriendly
act toward Japan. Therefore the pub
lished reason for the cruise is that it
is to give the battleship fleet much
needed practice in battle evolutions as
well as the cruising But the strategy
of the move did not fail of correct in
depreciation in Toxic, where they re-
alize clearly what has not seemed sig
nificant to most people in this country,
that the moment the American battle
ship fleet is stationed on the Pacific
coast, Japan is absolutely estopped
from sending her fleet away from
home.
Our fleet will aggregate somewhere
nearly thirty ships of the line, nearly
half as many again as the entire Japa-
nese navy musters. With that fleet in
the Pacific Japan, if she were really
actuated by hostile intentions, could
not make a single move against the
Philippines or Hawaii. If she estab-
lished a line of communication to the
Philippines, Japan would either have
to abandon it on approach of our fleet
or meet that fleet at point of our
choosing, away from the support Of
her own home stations In other
words, as long as the United States
maintains a greatly preponderating
fleet in the Pacific Ocean, the Japanece
navy has got to stay at home. and
there will be no expedition against the
Philippines or any other American tel
ritory.
The constant diplomatic hectoring of
this country by Japan before it was
announced that the battleships were
going to the Pacific was more than
enough, despite all the friendly pro-
testations so effusively made, to- JUS
tify the conclusion that there might
be an Interior motive behind them, not
50 entirely friendly. The resources OF
friendly diplomacy were practically

WELCOMES JAPANESE PRINCE.

SEOUL, Korea, October 1.-THE
Japanese Crown Prince was welcomed
on his arrival here yesterday by the
Korean Emperor and the Korean no.
bility, the city being illuminated in
honor of the royal visitor.
A British editor of one of the pub
locations here was arrested before the
reception for having melted the Ko-
reans to riot as a protest against the
occupation of the Kingdom,
He was warned that any repetition Of
the offense would bring about his de-
portation.

exhausted by this Government in try
ing to meet the captious Japanese
even more than half way But the
more complaisant this Government
seemed to be, the more pressing the
Japanese became. Neither the Presi-
dent nor Secretary Root was specially
pleased with the pin-pricking tactics
of Japanese diplomacy. The time came
for action which would take the ma
ture of definitive answer, and, as the
naval officer before quoted says, the
battleship cruise is it."
NEW NAVAL POLICY.
The Pacific cruise is not the whole OF
it. however. There are indications
that the Administration intend to
break away from the old programme
of naval extension this winter and ad-
vocate the construction of at least
two, and probably three, new battle
ships of the newest type and highest
efficiency. For several years it has
been the policy to ask for only one
ship a year, the design being nearly to
keep the line full, replacing the old
ships with new ones year by year, and
sending the obsolesceDt fighters into
reserve to go into the second line in
case of necessity and ultimately to the
strap heap or target range. 1t is eX-
pected, however, that the President
will tell Congress that the time has
come when that policy can no longer
be followed It has become apparent
that we must maintain a battle fleet
in the Pacific and that entails the Gre
alton of another fleet for the Atlantic.
Nor will it serve the purpose to
maintain simply a squadron in the Pa
cific. Our naval strength there to be
effective must preponderate over that
of Japan, which is the only Power
now maintaining any considerable
naval establishment in the Pacific. A
great deal will be gained by sending
this big fleet for it's cruise, even if the
major part of it returns within a year
or two to the Atlantic, but it will also
show that to meet a sudden emergen-
cy, which is what would arise if this
country were to be forced into war
with Japan, we cannot depend on get
ting fighting ships around from the At
lantic.
Along with the recommendation for
more battleships will go a demand for
couple of fast scout cruisers and a
number of torpedo vessels, probably of
all three classes-destroyers su6mar-
ines and torpedo-boats. The navy is
ridiculously deficient in this class Of
ships, as it is in GOLFERS. There will
be a request for several GOLFERS, and
any authorized will be built on lines
of the greatest efficiency.

BARBED WIRE.
A Lucky Device That Brought Millions
to Its Inventor.

The luckiest invention in history"
said a patent official, was that Of
barbed wire. 1t came about by acct
dent.
Isaac l.. Ellwood was the inventor
Of barbed wire. In his youth he lived
in De Kalb. H.. and, having a neighbor
whose pigs trespassed on his garden.
he put up one day a wire fence of his
own make. This fence had barbs and
points on it. 1t was queer and ugly,
but it kept out the pigs.
1T was Il real barbed wire fence,
the first in the world, and there were
millions of money in it, but young ELL
wood and his friends laughed at it's
freak appearance.
"One day two strangers saw this
fence. perceived how well it kept out
the pigs, realized how cheap it was
realized. in a word. it's %value-and or
dered several tons Of it from Ellwood.
Furthermore, they contracted to sell
for a term of years all the barbed wire
he could produce.
"EllwOOd borrowed 1000 and set up
a little factory. A few years later on
he had paid back that loan and was
worth a small matter of ST., 600
besides."-New York Press.

The Mater Lily.

Almost everybody has observed the
strange characteristic of the water lily
bud opening its petals at sunrise and
closing them again at sunset. 1t was
for this reason mainly that the an
clients held the water lily sacred to the
sun. Pliny says: 1T is reported that
In the E%uphrates the flower Of the 10
tus plunges into the water at night, re-
naming there till midnight and to such
a depth that it cannot be reached with
the hand. After midnight it begins
gradually. to rise. and as the sun rises
above the horizon the flower also rises
above the water. expands and raises
itself some distance above the element
In which it grows It was also
through this popularity that HANGAR
vile proved that the Egyptians CON
sidered the lily an emblem of the
world as it rose from the waters of the
