bility Of a duel between Senators Dolliver

teristic ant-negro speeches Thursday be-
fore large and appreciative audience At
the close he requested all who conceded
with his views to stand up. Pretty much
everybody stood. Dolliver got into town
yesterday and Immediately began to abuse
Tillman. He ridiculed every statement the
southern senator made. Tillman, who Is the
guest of acquaintance. hurried into town
and inserted q notice in the evening paper
in which he stated he had been grossly in
suited: that in the south the way such
things are adjusted Is by the duel route.
Dolliver read the story in the newspaper

there should be a full investigation into
such grave charges against men wearing

SILLY TO TALK OF WAR
ADMIRAL EVANS SAYS HE HAS
RECEIVED NO ORDERS.

NEW YORK. July 6.-Rear Admiral Rob-
ley D. Evans, commander-in-chief or the
Atlantic fleet. and who will. it Is ex-
pected be In command when the great
array of battleships rounds Cape Horn
for an excursion into the waters Of the
Pacific, spent some time at the Brooklyn
navy yard yesterday. To a representative
Of the Associated Press, whom he received
aboard his flagship. the Connecticut, Ad-
miral Evans explained that no rush orders
had been received. and only routine repairs
were under way. "''
There have been no orders to rush
repairs at the Brooklyn or other navy
yards" said the admiral. THE schedule
of repairs which laid out several months
ago Is still being followed. There Is such
shortage of docks We are always pushed
to accomplish our work, but there is no
especial rush at this time"
Concerning the trip to the Pacific, ne
said:
II have received no orders for cruise.
What may be in contemplaiio1 l, or
course. do not know. 1t Is my business
only to do whatever the government may
require"
No Significance to Cruise.
Admiral Evans attaches no more sig
niicance to the plans for a practice
cruise that will take his great fleet
around the Horn and over a. cruise OF
Ia 900 miles than have other officers, who
viewed 1t as a part Of routine naval opera
ton. 1t was absurd, he added to construe
the appearance of this formidable fighting
force in the territorial waters of our west
coast as a demonstration to impress the
friendly government of Japan.
1T is silly to talk of war with JAPAN,
he said. Because some tough wrecked O.
Japanese restaurant in San Francisco there
is no more reason for war with Japan than
there would be for one with China If few

Tokio's View Of It.
TOXIC, July 6.-The report from Wash
ington attributing the proposed sending
of sixteen battleships to the Pacific coast to
Admiral Deweys private plan is generally
disbelieved here by those whose knowledge
and experience entitle their opinion to some
attention
The United States Is not known to pos
sess naval bases in the Pacific adequate for
such purposes, and the impression prevails
that the sending of SO large a squadron
where sufficient rendezvous does not exist
would simply mean that the vessels would
be an easy prey to torpedo boats and de-
stroyers. Should sixteen battleships be SO
employed as to disprove this impression a
record-breaking naval feat will have to be
accomplished.

A BLOOD RED LAKE.
Peculiarly Manifested by n sheet of
water In switzerland.


Lake Morat in Switzerland. has a
queer habit Of turning red about two
OF three times every ten years. 1t is a
pretty lake, like most of the sheets OF
water I'm that picturesque country, ana
its peculiar freak is attributed to a dls-
position to celebrate the slaughter OF
the Burgundians under Charles the
Bold on June u. 147G. but the French
say that it bushes for the conduct OF
the Swiss, who in that battle gave the
Burgundians no quarter.
This phenomenon, Of course, has its
legend. The old fishermen of the lake.
who catch enormous fish called silures
that weigh between twenty-five and
forty Kilograms. say when they see the
waters OF the lake reddening that it is
the blood Of the Burgundians. AS a
matter OF fact. some Of the bodies OF
the Burgundians killed in the battle
were thrown into the lake, while others
were tossed into a grave filled with
quicklime. This historical recollection
angered the Burgundian soldiers of the
victorious armies of the republic in
17qs so much that they destroyed the
monument raised i'm honor of their
compatriots who fell heroically in that
battle, and Henri Martin very justly
reproachcd them for that piece of van
dalism.
II would hardly do to attribute the
reddening Of the waters Of the lake to
the blood Of the soldiers Of Charles the
Bold. The coloring is due simply tc
the presence in large quantities of little
aquatic plants called by naturalists Os
cilIatoria rubescens. The curious thing
about Il Is that Lake Morat is the only
lake in which this curious growth i
