apply in connection with the present chaI-
lenge, has been tried out in fast sailing
yachts OF the larger class this summer. 1t

fects in the old rule, which made possible

more recent cup defenders and challengers.

RIOTS NOT IN THE SAME CLASS
Count Okuma Says San Francisco
Authorities COuntenanced the
japanese Disturbances.

TOXIC. Sept. lS-In the Hochi this even
ing Count Okuma contrasts the anti-Jap-
anese distrubances> at San Francisco with
the Vancouver riot briefly as follows
The latter occurrence must not be placed
In the same category as the former case.
The San Francisco authorities. directly or
indirectly, countenanced the acts OF the
rioters, while the municipal government
was a center Of corruption, almost a state
of anarchy prevailing. / liken the San
Francisco riot to the Boxer outbreak
President Rooseveit's attitude at first was
very fair and admittable, but after his
conference with delegation from San
Francisco change came which sadly dis
appointed us.
The Vancouver incident was quite diff
ferent. II was an outrageous act, limited
TO laborers and unsupported elsewhere
The local authorities sincerely did their
utmost TO suppress the riot and protect
our countrymen. They even went so far
as TO give permission TO our compatriots
70 take measures OF self defense. The
sincerity so fully evinced OF these really
worthy local authorities OF our ally in their
EFFORTS 70 protect our rights makes US
confident Of effecting satisfactory solu-
tion OF the deplorable situation.

METCALF TALKS OF THE WEST
Labor Problem Has Become SERIOUS
one for FRrmers-DOcks
for Fleet.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-Secretary of
the Navy Metcalf returned today after an
absence since June 20. when he left for
California to make announcement of the
cruise of the Atlantic fleet to the Pacific
coast. He referred today to the Pacific
coast trip of the fleet as a dead issue"
He said he had been out of touch with
the Navy department for so long that
more details had been made public here
than had been communicated to him. He
declined to discuss the japanese question,
saying that he heard too much on that
subject or on the anti-oriental incidents
in cities of Washington and British Col
umbia.
Secretary Metcalf made a number of OBJ
servations of Importance in connection
with the visit of the Atlantic fleet TO
the Pacific coast. He found that while
the government has only one dock on the
Pacific side that is capable of taking
battleshhip, there are a number of pri-
vate docks that might be available If
needed. OF these three are at San Fran
cisco. The only government dock is at
Bremerton, and this location, it is be-
lieved makes it likely that the entire
! fleet may go as far north as Puget sound
! before returning to Atlantic waters. Con-
cernlng this probability, Secretary Net
calf said that there Is water enough at
Bremerton to take in the entire fleet at
one time. The labor question on the coast.
the secretary said. is becoming more Sc
rious every day. and he instanced the fact
that the navy yards at Mare Island AMI
Bremerton are working far under their
capacity by reason of the labor famine.
He pointed out that in the west farm
hands are being paid high as S5 per
day. The TRANSPORTATION question also WAS
found by the secretary to be serious. He
said the railroads cannot begin to haul
the crops and the passenger traffic is very

LINCOLN, Sept. 13-(Special Telegram.l
Following the publication in The Bee OF
the fact that the railroad commissioners
were seriously contemplating the arrest of
Burlington officials charges of violating
the orders OF the board, Freight Agent e.
C. Spens OF Omaha on Thursday made
hurried trip to Lincoln TO assure the COM
mlssioners they were needlessly exercised
about the attitude of his road on western
freight rates
No schedules had been filed with the
board OF freight rates west of Grand
Island under the 10 per cent reduction Of
the Aldrich law and the commissioners had
consulted with the. attorney general as to
the proper course to pursue in calling the
road TO time Mr.. Spens said the road
inadvertently neglected to give notice OF
the actual facts in Connection with these
rates, hence the difficulty. He said for
the points in question the Burlington road
had the long haul, the Union Pacific having
the short haul. The Burlington. therefore,
had determined to make rates what
ever Cor these points in its new tariff,
which is in the printers hands and had
instructed the printer by telegraph to
omit the tariffs. A copy of the telegram
was shown. The misunderstanding had re-
suited through an error in not notifying
the board. The road intended to apply to
the commission for permission to do away
with the rates at these points entirely.
Mr. Spens said the Burlington will al
ways be glad to furnish the commission
any information necessary for its inquiries.

Evidently the talk about Roos

Evidently the talk about Roose-
welt accepting a nomination next
year is not sanctioned in any way by
the president himself. There is ev-
cry reason to believe that the west
ern trip of Secretary Taft is advised
and sanctioned by the president,
who is DESTROYS that the big secre-
tary should be nominated and elect
ed to carry out his reform program.
Notwithstanding the presidents
plans, Republicans everywhere are
going to try to force the president
to stand for denomination, for the
reason that it is generally conceded
that Bryan's nomination will mean
hard fight as against any other
candidate than Roosevelt. It is use
less to deny that the old party ques-
lions will cut less figure in the cam
paign of 1908 than in any previous
campaign since the war.

The death of the veteran printer
and journalist. Thomas M. Perry,
occurred at St. Peter last Wednes-
day, where Mr.. Perry has labored
continuously for 81 years. His age
was 70, and it is claimed that he was
the oldest printer in Minnesota in
point of service. If we are not mis-
taken, Editor Green of the New
Ulm News is a close second to Mr..
Perry as to ranking honors in Min
nesota printerdom. Mention was
made recently of Mr.. Perry as the
printer of the Redwood Falls Pa
triot, the forerunner of all Redwood
Falls papers, which was printed in
St, Peter .38 years ago.

According to statements from At
torney General Young's department,
the principal railroads of this state
have sold an excess of about mil
lion dollars worth of passenger
transportation since the two cent
rate went into effect over that of
last year, during the same period.
This is not strange, when we con-
slider the immense passenger traffic
on the principal lines this summer,
and the further fact that hundreds
of people are paying cash this year
who travelled on passes year ago.
Anti-pass and the two cent rate are
proving to be good for the railroads
as well as for the common people.
