At the far end of the crowded square the
cars turned. and slowly moved past the

were off. From o'clock, when the first
car went away, until the last one was
speeding westward. there was imminent,
pressing danger that somebody would be
killed. The crowd, intensely interested,
overlapped the radiators and the steps of
the automobiles.

The big tire wagons attracted much at
tention. There were several of these auto
delivery carts, loaded to the guards with
tires and detachable rims and repair out
fits. Each bore its expert mechanic and
its lightning tire-changer.

As to Home Politics.

Admiral YamamOto seemed 10 regard as
joke the report from Toxic that on his
return Count Okuma would ask him to take
up the leadership of the progressive party
with the View OF overthrowing the Saionji
ministry, and after a hearty laugh he
said:
Il have already accepted one cabinet
position in my country, and l am quite
tired out. My business now Is with the
sword by my side. Political parties have no
interest for me.
The admiral said that much depended on
the attitude taken by the press on the pres
ent situation.
TOO much care cannot be taken by the
press" continued Admiral Yamamoto, for
few careless words will do more harm
than good. There are many sensational
papers both here and in Japan, and l ask
the editors 10 make a thorough study of the
situation before writing their views"
The admiral may make an informal call
on President Roosevelt today at Oyster Bay
after he has received the official visits of
Admiral Evans. commanding the Atlantic
fleet of the United States Navy, and Ad-

arrival here with his suite board the
Cunard steamship Carmania. Admiral va
mamoto has been inspecting the gunshops
he will visit our navy yards and ship-buld-
ing plants. He was met at quarantine by
Lieut. r. w. Henderson, representing Rear
Admiral Goodrich, commander of L ; New
York navy yard, and who extended Ad-
miral Goodrich's greetings. Admiral va
mamoto made the occasion of his arrival an
opportunity to deny the reports from Toxic
that the leadership of the progressive party
would fall upon him on his return home,
and that efforts would be made to over
throw the Saionji ministry. He declined to
express an opinion on the intention of the
United States to send a large fleet of war
vessels from the Atlantic to the Pacific
coast. The admiral will take luncheon with
President Roosevelt Friday at Oyster Bay.
His Personal Appearance.
Admiral Yamamoto received numerous
dispatches on board the Carmania at quar-
antine today. and, after he had read them,
he received the newspaper men. He is Of
short stature and compact figure, with IRON
gray hair. A thin gray beard did not con-
ceal a smile which played about his face
during the entire visit of the reporters, for
the admiral answered each question first
with an expanding smile. His replies were
In japanese, which were interpreted by an
aide. When asked what he thought of the
intention of the United States government
to send practically all of our battleshps to
the Pacific coast Admiral Yamamoto, Smil-
ing broadly, said:
Il myself have no bad feeling against the
United States. but 1t is a question for this
country to answer and not tor us to express
an opinion.
America is a country which has been
friendly to us for years; in fact a treaty
between this country and Japan was made
at the time i was born. 1t is an old feeling
OF friendship which | do not think passing
storm can interfere with, but it depends
upon the pens OF the press to smooth the
