NO CAUSE FOR ACTION.
United States Will Ignore Criticism Of
Jap Admiral.

Washington, July 10. - Although
pretty we'll satisfied that the Japanese
admiral, Sakamoto, was not accurately
reported in his alleged criticism Of
the personnel of the American navy
the officials here have concluded that
even if the case were otherwise the
incident would call for no official rep
reservations on their part. AS one of
the officials put it the matter would
be one for the Japanese naval authori-
ties to deal with and they undoubtedly
would do SO without any prompting
from the United States. Our own
government always has taken the in
itiative in admonishing and even rep
rimanding American military or naval
officers who are guilty of indiscreet
public comments upon foreign insti-
luions 1t has done so upon the the
Dry that the offense of the officer in
such case is against his own govern
ment and 1t is not doubted that the
Iananese view will be the same.

ADMIRAL EVANS SMILES.
10 Shown Jap Officers Remarks About
American Naval Men.

New York, July 10.-Rear Admiral
Evans, who is at the Brooklyn navy
yard, has declined to comment on the
remarks imputed to Admiral Sakamoto
of the Japanese navy to the effect that
American naval officers were dandies
with no technical training and that
the enlisted men had no patriotism
and would desert in case of war.
Admiral Evans smiled when Saka-
moto's remarks were shown him. He
said it would be the height Of impro-
priety for him to reply to a foreign
officer. especially when he had no
means of knowing If he really said
the things attributed to him.

SAY GAS CAUSED It.
Further Testimony Covering Ex-
ploSion at Bradley Home.
ALL CONTRADICT ORCHARD
Dispositions of Witnesses Taken at
San Francisco Read az the Haywood
TriaI-cook EmphatcaIIy Denies
Going to Theater With Orchard.

Boise, Ida, July 10.-Practically the
entire day in the Haywood case was
taken up with the reading of San
Francisco depositions covering the
alleged attempt to assassiaate Fred
Bradley III that city in November,
1901
The day began with a continuance
of the testimony OF j. B. Reilly, who
lived near the Bradley apartments in
Washington street. Reilly declared
he had passed the apartment house
but a few minutes before the e&pio'
sion and saw Japanese servant
clearing the stoop and vestibule. He
did not believe it was within the range
Of possibility for any one to have
placed bomb there in the manner
indicated by Orchard in the time
which elapsed between his passing
and the report of the explosion. Or
chard testified that after placing the
bomb ne boarded a street car and got
out of hearing before the explosion
occurred.
The next deposition taken up was
that of Mrs. Charles Pickafd, who, as
Mrs Grow, had been employed BY the
Bradleys as cook. She told of having
smelled gas in the house for several
days prior to the explosion and had
called up the gas company to complain
of it, Mrs. Crow denied absolutely
that she had gone to the theater with
Orchard as he testified. She declared
that he told falsehood when he tes-
tihed to that effect.
Explosion Was Terrific.
Attorney Darrow next took up the
deposition of Mrs. Lucy A. Cummings,
who occupied one of the fats in the
building with the Bradleys. She de
scribed the explosion as the most ter
rible noise she had ever heard in her
life. The witness and her husband
were at breakfast at the time and
both jumped to their feet exclaiming
Its gas
Gas had been leaking about the
house for some time. Asked If she
heard one or two explosions Mrs.
Cummings said there was just one
big noise" Rushing into the hall she
smelled gas, but no powder. The wit
ness did not know, however, whether
exploding dynamite smelled like or
binary powder or not.
John J. Eckelman, a member Of the
San Francisco fire department who
was with the company which respond
ed tC fire alarm following the eXDlo-
sion at the Bradley house, told Of
smelling gas strongly when he arrived
at the scene Several other members
OF the fire department gave testimony
similar to that of Eckelman
Joseph Vincent de la Veaga, an at
torney of San Francisco, who occu-
pied the apartment directly under the
Bradleys, told in his deposition Of
having smelled gas in the vestibule Of
the house six or seven days prior to
the explosion

stood that the department of justice
has adopted another highly important
plan in connection with it's proceed
ings against the so-called tobacco

The same plan will be followed in

The Huntington Dispatch might
very wen apply its epibhets to itself.
and the Telegram feels quite sure
they would not then be misused.
Several days ago the Dispatch took
lengthy exception to the fact that
the Telegram showed its readers that
Governor Dawson would certainly
support Charles w. swisher for gov
ernor. The Kilograms logic was
correct as the Dispatch itself now adj
mits, and by the admission plainly
tells its readers that it was in err
ror, when It denied the statement by
the Telegram that Governor Dawson
would support the swisher candi-
dacy
The editor OF the Dispatch has but
to reflect moment over his own ut
terance and he will readily conclude
that his epithets intended for others
apply to him in such forcible man
ner that he himself can not, If he has
a conscience and a pride for veracity,
deny
Here is what the Dispatch now
says:
"Mr. Dawson will, probably in the
end, support Swisher"
The Telegram, remember made a
similar statement in substance, and
the Dispatch said the Telegram was
mistaken and got so furious about It
that 1t has been in senseless rage
ever since.
But. now the editor of that paper
ought to feel sufficiently indignant at
himself as to get down into some
dingy corner and kick himself with
a force that will cause him to wake
up. Perhaps, it would be well for
him to give the office devil penny
or two to do the job. 1t certainly
is not worth more. though the kicks
in his case should be OF the most
strenuous sort

he purchased beer by the key and re-
tailed it. Business was fine until he
and his patrons fell out over wo-

peached on him. Officer Hupp took
him to Parkersburg on the night

resistance to the End.


Because the impression prevails
that Governor Dawson will ask some
legislation at the hands OF the pro-
posed extra session of the legislature
in reference to the Virginia debt
suit, designers against the public
welfare have jumped to the conclus-
ion that the Governor has in mind
a compromise of the suit. That
conclusion. however, is shown to be
erroneous by the utterances of Dean
Charles E. Hogg, head of the law
department of the University and
member of the counsel for the de-
Tense in the suit in question. Re-
turning from a trip to the southern
part of the State, where he was in
conference with the other members
of West Virginia's counsel, Dean
Hogg gives out the following inter
view on the subject, showing that
there is to be no compromise and
that the case will be fought to the
bitter end:
There is not word of truth in
the stories which have been circulat-
ed concerning a probable settlement
o; the trouble between the two
states at the special session of the
legislature in January" he said, in
response to question.
II understand that the Governor
will include in his call the question
of the suit, but it is done only that
any legislation deemed necessary or
expedient by the states counsel may
be enacted. Tho reports that the
Governor and other officials OF the
state are planning to make Virginia
an offer looking toward the adjust
ment and final settlement of the debt
controversy Doubtless sprang from
the fact that the debt suit will be
ono of the Items in the Governors
call
81 know that 1t is the intention of
the attorney general and all interest
cd to fight the suit to the end; all
the members of our states counsel
feel that West Virginia has the bet
ter side. Indeed, If any suggestion
OF compromise should come, it
would be expected from Virginia
rather than from West Virginia.
although the suit is the Oldest
live case on the docket of the United
States Court, it win probably be a
long time before the final decree will
he entered. Up to this time no testi-
mony has been taken; the question
now before the court is the discus
sion of the form providing for the
order of the master who will be ap-
pointed to take the testimony.
Last week West Virginia filed its
suggestion OLA proper order. contain
ing rules governing the taking of
testimony. At the same time coun-
sci for Virginia filed its suggestion.
The two documents are entirely diff
ferent. so the court had to take time
to consider.
After the master is appointed it
will be matter of months and prob
ably years before he can gather up
the mass of evidence which will be
required"
Dean Hogg presents the situation
clearly mad none need now miscon-
strue the motives OF Governor Daw-
son. nor need they be uneasy over
any such false statement as that that
has been made that this State seeks
to shirk Its duty and surrender to
Virginia.

The Foraker people must find
themselves in sore straits, when it
becomes necessary for an Ohio
supreme court judge to lower the
dignity of the bench and disgrace the
ermine by talking peanut politics in
Foraker's behalf. and most people
fail to see how such an act will help
the Foraker cause or retain respect
for the supreme Judge.

The approaching meeting of the
Republican state committee is look
ed forward to with much interest.
1t is accepted that the committee at
that meeting will fix date for hold
ing a convention to select delegates
to the national convention and the
date will likely be an early one since
the national convention will be held
early in the summer. 1t has been
advanced that the committee might
very well make one state convention
answer for all purposes, but there is
a division of sentiment IN this re-
spect, and, therefore. the action of
the committee on this matter is
awaited with intense interest. The
committee will doubtless go into the
subject carefully and act for the best.

readers and the Telegram by giving
its reasons for saying so. But, as we
are now all agreed 1T makes but lit
