PACIFIC CRUISE
Speculation Regarding Presidents
Order.

speculation Regarding Presidents
Order.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Ten days
hence the Atlantic battleship fleet
will steam out OF Hampton Roads
and, nosing its way southwark and
around the Horn, will enter the
broad expanse of the Pacific
AS the date set for the beginning
of the long cruise approaches, ofic-
ial and unofficial Washington is man
ifesting renewed interest in the pro-
ject. Whether Fighting Bob" Evans
is going to the Pacific with a chip on
his shoulder, ready to maintain his
reputation as doughty warrior at
the drop of the hat, or whether his
mission is one of peace and amity-
these are the problems that are being
discussed by thousands in the Hobbies
and smoking rooms of Washington
hotels and in other public places.
Already much bitterness of spirit is
being given expression by those who
affirm or deny the wisdom of the
prospective cruise, and the determin-
alton of President Roosevelt to send
the feet to the Pacific may yet be-
come political issue of considerable
magnitude
Although none of the naval officers
who will take part in the cruise will
discuss the matter for publication, it
is known that not a few consider the
projected trip a mistake. Laymen
who are authorities on nautical mat
tiers disagree as to the wisdom of the
presidents order, some of them de-
claring that the cruise will be i'm
mensely valuable as an educative
measure for the officers and men,
while others are of the opinion that
the time and money could be better
expended in practicing tactics in At
lantic waters. The latter allege that
the mere steaming around the Horn
will be of no practical value, and
that hundreds of tramp steamers can
do as much. To quote these critics,
the battleships will only do what the
ordinary South American steamer
does every month-steam and burn
coal in order to reach the next stage
in schedule time.
According to one story now in cir
culation the presidents determine
ton in regard to the transfer OF the
fleet was mainly the outcome of a be-
lief on his part that Japan had come
to believe that the United States
government was afraid of Nippon
and that it would go to any extreme
of peace at any price" rather than
war with the mikado's empire. Jap
an, it is alleged, had come to believe
in the timidity of President Roose-
Welt and his advisors through a false
construction of the presidents spec
ial message to congress on the San
Francisco school troubles. This idea
that condition of blue funk prevail
ed in Washington was, of course, de-

Vale University Wealthy.

According to the Yale Alumni Week
~, the property of the university in
New Haven which is exempted from
taxation, is appraised at $9,431 $50, an
increase of 1855, 1000 over the apprais-
ed tax exemptions of last year, though
this increase does not necessarily rep
resent actual additional values sub
tracted from the New Haven grand
list OF the total exemptions about
1870, 900 belongs to the Sheffield Sci
entific School, The old campus, as
land is valued at s1,033,40O, and the
buildings on this campus at 81, 4S3,5OO
The appraisals are high on many OF
the buildings, as compared to actual
cost. The valuations are placed, and
as they are exemptions there has
been no occasion to appeal for their
reduction.
