APPROVAL OF DAVIS.
The President and Others Commend
His Action at Kingston.

Washington, Feb. I'm unequivo-
cal terms President Roosevelt has APP
proved Admiral Davis entire action in
connection with his visit to Kingston,
Jamaica, and requested the secretary
of the navy to express to Admiral Da
Wis his heartiest commentator OF all
that he did.
The long expected report of Admiral
Davis of the circumstances leading up
to the withdrawal Of the fleet from.
Kingston reached the navy depart
ment and was at once laid before the
president. Inasmuch as the president
already has announced that the diplo-
matte phase is a closed incident. the
report itself will not be made public.
However. Secretary Metcalf gave OUT
the letter of Admiral Evans, comman-
der-in-chief of the Atlantic squadron,
warmly commencing Admiral Davis
for his conduct of situation. (which

whole situation very clearly.
tHThe COMMUNICATIVE feels he
cannot too highly commend Rear Adj
miral Davis for the very dignif1ed and
mastery manner in which he conduct

member CT the japanese house of
peers and a special ambassador, re-
Gently detailed by the imperial gov
eminent to visit America and study
political and econimic conditions
there, has just been interviewed on
the San Francisco school question.
In the course of this he said:
From the outset I knew it to be a
local question .unendorsed by Ameri-
can opinion and have been speaking
of it to my friends in that light This
RooSevelt'S message, which 1 consider
the greatest utterance since the fare
well message of Washington. 1t is
unprecedented in the way it strongly
advocates a foreign cause. No strong
er or ADLER advocate could be found
for Japan. When the text of his mes
sage bearing on the school question
was fully translated in the leading pa
pers throughout this country even
Formosa could readily see and appre-
Ciate the profcundness of his argu-
ments. Had the question arisen else
where the crisis would have occurred
and loud defiance have been uttered
for the length and breadth of the en-
pire. On the other hand, the quiet
tone of the press clearly demonstrates
the strength of the confidence reposed
in President Roosevelt and the typical
American sentiment generally.
LAS a sincere friend, America could
not help but regret that San Francisco
officials should have chosen innocent
children for effecting their political
ends.
"Aall my friends who have recently
returned from abroad, making COM
parative observation of educational
system in civilized countries, concur
in giving the first rank to the Amer
lean system. The fact that such an
excellent fruit of civilization has been
refused to the children of a friendly
power, and that too in a country ac-
knowledged as the practical exponent
of humanitarianism only tends to-
ALLEVIATE 1t from the Sympathies of the
civilized world. Before this injustice
Japan rests peaceful and quiet. Not a
single soul ever thought that the ASH
Francisco affair would endanger the
friendship of both nations. The aft
fair. disagreeable and regrettable as it
is, has served the unique purpose of
demonstrating to the world how deep
rooted is the friendship between Japan
and America. The latent cordially
Japan entertains for her tutor is
shown by the fact that, suffering I'M
der the severest strain. Japan does not
forget what she owes to America in
her modern progress, but unfiinching-
~ trusts in support of her rights to the
justice which guides American senti-
ments.

RATHER ODD EXPLOSION.
Men Saving a Log Struck n Cavity
Filled With Gas.

Owen McCullom ard Sam Brown,
down the Walnut, struck gas unex-
pectedly this week. They were saving
off a log when suddenly there was q
sharp explosion where the saw was
cutting into the wood, and the blade
was blown clear from the cut and out
of theiP hands. Both men fled and
tried to run behind a nearby tree to
escape. AS they were going in oppo-
site directions they bumped together
with considerable force.
After recovering their nerve they
made a careful examination of the
circumstance. They found they had
sawed into cavity formed by new
wood having grown over a deep notch
cut in the tree many years before. This
cavity had become air tight, and by
some fermentation in the sap full of
gas. Suddenly released by the saw
the gas blew out. making noise al
most like the discharge of a gun
