Case Against Clifford Results in More
 warrants for Counciimen.
 New York, Feb. 1.-The hearing of the case against Alderman W. s. Clifford on charges of bribery in the election of a recorder of the court of general sessions ended today in the arrest of Alderman Henry c. Peters and John D. Cronin, on charges of perjury. Clifford was held in $10,ooo bail for the grand jury.
 Peters, the leader of the municipal ownership members of the board, was held in $25O bail and Cronin was paroled on his own recognizance for a hearing Friday.
 The perjury is alleged to have been committed while the two aldermen were testifying in the case against Clifford and dealt particularly with the manner in which the word was given to the municipal ownership members to vote for Judge Cowing for recorder It is charged that Clifford accepted $6,00O from Earl Harding, newspaper reporter who pretended to be acting in the interests of C0wing.
 The charges against Peters are bas- ed on his testimony, given yesterday and today that he did not instruct the aldermen to vote for Judge Cowing until after Clifford and Cronin had already cast votes against him. After hearing those two members vote, he said he signalled to the others to vote for Judge Cowing. Several other al- dermen prevailing testified that Pe- ters instructed them to vote for Cow ing before Clifford cast his vote. This conflict of testimony led to charges of perjury.

RIGHT MAN IN RIGHT PLACE

Washington. Feb. 1.--In unequiyo- cal terms President Roosevelt today approved Admiral Davis's acts in Kingston. Jamaica. and in addition re- auested the Secretary of the Navy to express to Admiral Davis his heart- fest commendation of all that he did.
 The long expected report of Admiral Davis of the circumstances leading up to the withdrawal of the fleet from Kingston reached the Navy Department today. and was at once laid before the President. Inasmuch as the Pres ident already has announced that the diplomatic phase is a closed incident. the report itself will not be made pub lie. but late today Secretary Metcalf gave out the letter of Admiral Evans, commander of the Atlantic fleet, warm- ly commenting Admiral Davis for his conduct of a situation which was. to say the least somewhat embarrassing" The Admiral remarks further that 1t was particularly fortunate that there was at hand an officer such as Admiral Davis to deal with the problem"
 The correspondence Is supplemented bY strong letter of commendation of Admiral Davis by the President and Secretary Metcalf, who adds his ap- proval and commendation of Admiral Davis distinguished service to hu" manity."
 Admiral Evans, writing from the United States flagship Maine, Guanta- namo, Cuba, January 31. said in part
 ''The commander in chief feels that he cannot too highly commend Rear Admiral Davis for the very dignihed and masterly manner in which he con- ducted a situation, which was, to say the least, somewhat embarrassing.
 The commander in chief. heartily approves the commendatory remarks relating to the officers and men of the ships who accompanied Admiral Da- wis. but they did no more than is ex- pected of officers and men in the navy, and no more than would have been done by officers ana men of the osher ships of the feet" .es.., sss.,s is-y.-.7. MetcaIf:
 ITO the Secretary of the Navy:
 "I have read carefully the report of Admiral Davis submitted by you. to- gether with the report of Admiral Evans commenting the actions of Ad- miral Davis at Kingston. return them herewith and desire that you ex- press to Admiral Davis my heartiest commendation of all that he did at Kingston. I approve his entire action. He upheld the, best traditions of our navy in thus rendering distin guished services to humanity.

Washington. Feb In an address delivered tonight before the National Geogra phic Society. Senator Perkins, of California. dwelt at length upon the probability of a conflict between the Americans and the Japanese, two ir- reconciliable races" as he pronounced them. After speaking of the difficult ies overcome in the past in dealing with the Chinese. Senator Perkins said:
 Hawaii has the Japanese on her hands as we in California will soon have: and as this people Is more ag- pressive, more tenacious. more cunning and more determined than the Chinese. if will never do to permit long delay hefore settling the question.
 "The primary ambition of Japan Is to colontze the overflow population of the Emnire in adjacent countries, under its own sovereignty. This is the true be- sining of real national expansion, but ,n addition to this. the inherent na- tIonal traits of patriotic impulses will make them a foreign element in any country to which they emigrate. Real expatriation Is a condition practically imposible to the Japanese mind.

CYST OF DAYS DOING

 local interest were taken up by
 the Senate yesterday. One was
 the recollection of Judge W. H.
 Thomas es associate judge of the Montgomery, City Court for six years and the other was the pas-t
 sage of the bill making the mem

 ] The principal item of general
 interest in the days proceedings
 ! was the occuptance of the invita-
 ] ton of Mobile to attend the Mardi Gras celebration at the Gulf City ] ten days hence.
 The House passed the little red ] school house. bill, appropriating 67,0o0 annually to the aid of coun-
 ] try school districts in the erection
 , and repair of public school { ] houses. The John resolution { seeking to prohibit the copying of ] any pending measure was passed
 ] by the House, after the Rules Committee had cut all the obejec- tionable features from 1t. and the ] House, by an overwhelming vote, { reconsidered the passage of Sem {

strong in any foreign country. will rec main a consolidated unit in support Of the aspirations of the Japanese race, and however distant their residence from the throne of the Mikado. will still constitute an element of strength in the unity of the Empire.
 We have laid the foundation for commercial supremacy on the Pacific ocean and at some point in the future course of national destiny, the path way of national progress on the part of Japan and the United States will converge to d point of inevitable con fict.
 Tt is useless to speculate as to what the occasion or excuse for this conflict may be. The small cloud of war which is now hanging on the horizon appears to relate to the dis satisfaction of Japan with the educa- tional policy of California.
 But this educational policy is not the reason for disturbing the amicable relations between the two nations. This fundamental cause lies at the very foundation of the national char acter Of the nations to the controver- sy."
 At this juncture the Senator intro duced a modification of his prediction

TWENTY CARS Of
