Discussing the growth of American
trade with Japan since the war with
Russia, President James R. Morse, Of
the American Asiatic Association. had
this 10 say Of the relations between the
United States and the island empire:
Il am sure you viii all Join with me In condemn
iEg in unmitigated terms the reckless and wicked
attempts that have been made 10 disturb the rela-
tons Of cTial friendship existing between the peo-
pie Of the two countries Il Is matter 0s saisfac-
ton 70 all Of us 10 know that these have in no way
affected the perfect accord existing between the
government al Tokyo and the government at Wash
ington.
Secretary Foord reported that all the
influence of the associations executive
committee had been exerted TO demon
strate the absurdity of assuming that
there could be any serious quarrel be-
tween the two governments in dealing
with the issue raised in California, or,
indeed, with any other conceivable Ques-
ton that might present itself for their
discussion.
II American merchants engaged In the
Oriental trade are unable 10 see signs
of war with Japan, what is 1t that the
general board of the navy and Presi-
dent Roosevelt descry in the mysterious
East? Are they victims of phantasma-
goria?

Commercial wireless Telegrarhy

The transmission Of commercial mes
sages by wireleSss telegTaphy across the
Atlantic has been heraided as marking
an epoch like that which began with the
opening Of the first transatlantic cable
There is a fundamental difference, how
ever, between the nature of the two
achievements. The first transatlantic
cable actually established telegraphic
communication between Europe and
America; the wireless system is only
development of that communication
through the application of novel
method. Whether this method will prove
as successful under all conditions Of cable
service remains to be proved By actual
experience. 1t has been shown that a
large volume Of business can be handled
under favorable circumstances. and 10
that extent commercial wireless teleg-
raphy has become an important factor in
transatlantic telegraphy. Enterprising
newspapers are already printing aero
grams, which the critical reader is un-
able 10 distinguish from cablegrams, or
even the common, everyday kilograms.
The difference is simply IN the method OF
transmission, and not in speed OF accu-
racy or intelligibility.
The MaTeoni people have started out
with a schedule Of charges about one
half that Of the under-sea cable COM
panies. 1t seems probable. as the New
York Times says, that this Is the really
significant fact in connection with the
establishment Of the commercial wireless.
The new system has no advantage over
the old. except In its relative cheapness.
Marconi believes that the present wire
less rates can be cut in half in course Of
time. That means an immense growth
in the volume Of transatlantic business;
that is, if the wireless system can han
die IT, Lower cable rates will bring the
nations of the earth appreciably nearer,
as the use CT the telegraph comes within
the reach Of an ever widening constit-
uency.

Growth of the Y. NJ. c 4

The triennial convention of North
American Young Mems Christian Associa-
tiOns, which will be held in this city No
vembeT 22-26. will be of great interest and
Importance. During the six years that
have elapsed since the convention in
Boston in 1901, the Young Mems Christian
Association in North America has made
greater progress than in the preceding
nifty years. No city or town Is complete
without a modern association building.
and the SPECIAL activities for men Of the
army and navy, for railroad men, for col
lego students, for colored men, and other
departments have grown in size to. corre-
spond with the general movement
The extension Of work to non-Christian
lands has received a great impetus during
these years, and now the principal cen
ters Of the Eastern countries are securing
association organizations similar TO those
in this country.
The coming together of the delegates
representing all the North American As
sociations. together with fraternal dele
gates from abroad, will give opportuni-
ties for counsel and cooperation, and for
inspiration to larger endeavor, and will
doubtless also prove great help TO the
local association and to the community at
large. No convention could be more well
come in the District Of Columbia than
this eae, which viii bring together sew
