STRONG APPEAL BY CHOATE
American Delegate to The Hague
Likely to Succeed With His
Pet Project.

The Hague, Sept. 5.-Joseph II. Choate,
one of the American delegates TO the
peace conference, is credited with the
statement that he will not leave The
Hague until mis- pet project for the Gre
alton of a permanent international high
court of justice has become an accom-
plished fact, and at tOdays meeting of
the examining committee, under the
presidency of NJ. Bourgeois, which IS
dealing with this matter, he had the
satisfaction of securing approval for the
entire American project, with exception
of the paragraph referring to the allot-
ment of judges. In a powerful speech
Mr.. Choate urged the committee not to
permit its differences on the matter of
allotment of judges to interfere with the
duty devolving upon ii of satisfying
either permanently or Professionally the
demand for the establishment of such
a court.
1T would be ignominious in the last
degree for US to confess our inability to
discharge this duty" Mr.. Choate de-
clared
Mr. Choate's appeal resulted in the ap-
pointment of a committee to examine the
question of the allotment of the judges
This committee will meet Sept. 10.

ence, sent out notices tonight eonvoking

Question in the South.

Then too the secretary confuses two
questions that are entirely distinct The
question in the south is not whether the
black man is capable of government.
it is whether he is capable of conducting
a government under which the white man
as well as the black man must live, in
other words whether he is capable or
governing the white man; while the ques-
ton of the Philippines is whether the
brown man is capable of governing him
self For the white man of the south to
insist as a matter of self-preservation on
administering the government under
which both he and the black man must
live, is one thing; for the white man to
cross the Pacific ocean and fasten gov
eminent on an alien people is entirely
another proposition. and the secretary is
confused on fundamental principles if he
cannot see the distinction. Imperialism
costs US more than one hundred millions
a year; weakens US by exposing us to
foreign attacks and lays us open to sus-
picion of having abandoned the idea of
self-government."

ulpa, Tulsa, Bristow and Chandler, Okla

Natives Remain Quiet.

Paris, Sept. 5.-Premier Clemenceau
this afternoon issued a note, which says:
No news has been received from casa
blanca since Yesterday. The situation at
Nazagan is normal. No decision has been
reached with reference to the rifles and
ammunition stored there, but we have
reasons to believe that neither sultan in
tends TO make war against France. Ad-
vices from Tangier say that the natives
remain quiet. The representative of the
French government reports that the fears
of the European colony there are unjus-
tilted. The exodus from that port, how
ever continues"

TAFT'S SPEECH
Continued from Page 1.

while he. himself. seems disposed to
acquiesce in the suffrage amendments
adopted in the south. he OverlOOks the
fact that the black man of the south is
treated much better than the brown men
of the Philippines. The black man of
the south has the protection of the con-
situations, state and national, while the
constitution is denied to the Filipino.
The black man of the south has also
the protection of living under laws which
the white man makes for himself, while
the Filipino lives under the laws which
the white man makes for the Filipino,
laws under which the white man would
not himself be willing to live.

WARSHIPS To GO
AROUND WORLD
Movements of American Fleet
Not Confined to Trip to the
Pacific Coast
RETURN VOYAGE VIA SUEZ
RUMOR CONCERNING FORMA-
TON OF TWO FLEETS.

New York Sept. 5.-Some interesting
information bearing on the dispatch of
Admiral Evans battIeship fleet to the
Pacific is published in the Times today
and is credited to a high authority. The
administration. it is stated, does not
mean 10 cOnfine the fleets movements
to the Pacific coast. The presidents plan
is to send the warships on TO Hawaii
and then to the Philippines, after their
visit to California ports. When orders
are issued for their return the route
designated viii be via the Suez canal.
Thus the fleet viii circumnaVigate the
globe. 1t is further learned that in the
meantime the Atlantic coast will not be
left unprotected, but that, at the III
stance of President Roosevelt, the navy
department has already begun TO plan
the mobilization of another fleet to re-
place that under Admiral Evans.
New Hampshire the Flagship.
The flagship of the new fleet will be
the New hampshire, a 16,OOO-ton battle
ship, which is TO be ready for commits
sion early in January. As soon as pos
s1ble she is to be Joined by the Mis-
sissippi and the Idaho two first class
battieships now under construction by
the Cramps, and nearing completion
These three powerful vessels will serve
as conSorts II three veterans of the
Spanish-Amer1can war, the battleships
Iowa, Indiana and Massachusetts, which
are now being mOderniZed.
This fleet OF six battleships will have
as its auXiliaries the three new scout
cruisers which are almost ready for serv-
ice, the Chester, Birmingham and Salem.
Subsequently the new Atlantic fleet will
be reinforced by the two 16000-ton bat
tleships, Michigan and South Carolina,
and the two fast armOred cruisers of
1880 tons each, the North Carolina and
the Montana. The New Hampshire is
similar to the Connecticut, Admiral Ev-
ans flagship, in type, but the Idaho and
the Mississippi, which are 1900 tons
each, are of a type peculiar to them
selves. They are noted for the power OF
their armament Notwithstanding their
relatively small tonnage. The Chester,
Birmingham and Salem are of $3.50 tons
each and they are to be capable of %
knots an hour speed.

DENIED AT WASHINGTON.
Authorities Are Figuring on One
Fleet of TWenty-eight BattIeships.

Washington, Sept. sit is authori-
tatively stated at the navy department
that President Roosevelt does not con-
template the creation of two battleship
fleets. Nor does Secretary Metcalf, nor
even the general board which is sup
posed to represent the extreme view in
naval development, favor either the di-
vision of the present magnificent fleet
under Admiral Evans command or the
creation of another fleet in order that
there may be a formidable American navy
in both oceans-the Atlantic and the Pa
cific. On the contrary, It is regarded
at the navy department as better pol
icy to maintain one perfectly equipped
well drilled fleet, free TO move at will
to any part Of the globe on short no
tice, and the present plans contemplate
the increase of the strength of the ex-
listing Atlantic fleet from eighteen to
tWenty-eight battleships.
This will afford a command as large
as can be properly directed by any one
officer, and IL will, moreover. about mark
the capacity of ports and dry docks in
any particular section of the world. So
ii is asserted positively at the depart
ment that there is not the least inten-
ton of keeping the battleships which
will go to the Pacific permanently III
those waters. That fleet, II is added
will surely return to the Atlantic sea-
board after 1t has fulfilled its mission
and demonstrated the feasibility Of
transferring such a vast naval force be-
tween oceans.
