 BREST, France. July 25.-rTbe Japa- nese cruisers Tsukuba and Chitose, un- der the command of Vice Admiral Sir Gero Ijuin, are in the harbor here. While entering the visiting warships saluted the forts with twenty-one guns, and as they swung around to drop an chor the American cruisers Washington and Tennessee, flagship of Rear Ad- miral Charles H. Stockton, saluted the Japanese division with fifteen guns. This salute was returned gun for gun. The American warships saluted first because the rank of Rear Admiral Stockton is one grade below that of Vice Admiral IJuln.
 Vice Admiral Ijuin and his stan left for Paris last night.
 The French and some of the Japa- nese naval officers were the guests of Rear Admiral Stockton on the cruiser Washington last night. It was impos- sIble for Vice Admiral Ijuin and the other chief Japanese officers to attend.
 Vice Admiral Ijuin assigned the offi- cers of his squadron to attend the din ner given by the American admiral, at which most fraternal toasts were given to the navies of the United States, Japan and France.

FOURTH DAY IN CAMP
Hard Work Thus Far and no
 Chance for Base Ball.

Camp Woodruff, Mantle, July 25.- Companies A and G returned from the march to Chester farm about 12 o'clock yesterday. The boys were more than glad to get back, although they stood the trip well. A few from both companies came in on the cars, but the greater part stuck to the road un- til Mantle was reached. Private Me- Mullin of Company A was the first of those who went out on the hike to return to camp. At Flanders, where the men took lunch it was dis covered that his left heel was badly bleeding. He was taken into the troll Icy car in the ambulance and arrnven at Camp Woodruff about o'clock.
 Some of the members of the local companies were in New London last evening, but they went back to Ches- ter farm early, and while in the city indulged in no rough house" tactics. At Chester farm last night everybody was out for one good time. In. G street the fellows were having a bar rel of fun, and did not appear to be worried about the return trip. All over the grounds the merrymakers were pulling down the dog tents and few were left standing. The sleepers more than got 1t laid on to them and there were not many in ''slumber- down" at o'clock to-day. At one time Private Michael Slavin of Com pany G became so "fussed" and ex- cited that he threatened to give the next man that came near him "a punch on the nose" Just then some one threw a blanket over his head and moment later he was rolling all over the ground. The camping ground was covered with rocks, it was rugged, and was anything but suitable for biyouacking purposes. Although the march to Chester farm was very hard on the men, the return was much bet ter. The weather was cool, the wagon trains had relieved the men of their blanket rolls and the dusty roads were the only thing which made walking unpleasant. When Camp Woodruff was reached the greater part of the men, after being dismissed, went over for plunge. Although travelling ra- tions had been served the men before camp was broken at Chester farm, 1t was the intention to serve dinner about l o'clock, but the commissary department seemed to have gone wrong and dinner was served late. Guard mount was held at o'clock. The weather at the camp is all that could be desired,

La Toilette.

Mr.. La Toilette should discourage the use
of his name by faddists. Tom Johnson of
Ohio tell him that too many issues
spoil the political boom. Mr.. Johnson
might have been governor of the Buckeye
state but for the fact that praise of him
came from too many detached sources
Single takers. free traders. free silvertes
free car riders. advocates of everything
free. called aloud upon him to come to the
rescue and save the commonwealth, and,
incidentally. the country. The result was
TO overload Mr.. Johnson with isms and he
sank beneath the burden. Mr.. La Toilette
the vegetarian candidate for President
would be brought so close to the humorous
side Of things in country where humor
sometimes makes and unmakes men that
all the serious things he represents would
be quite lost to view.

Death Traps at Sea.

A steel passenger ship is rammed at mid
night in a fog by wooden freight steamer.
The passenger ship, having no water-tight
compartments, or. having them. not being
prepared for the very emergency they are
provided against. sinks in five minutes.

their lives Here is a tragic commentary
on the laXity of the federal laws with re-
gard to passenger vessels plying the Ameri-
can waters. There are many such ships
ahoat today, at the mercy of a derelict, a
rock. or another vessel. The Columbia the
latest victim of a collision, was built in
1850. but since then she has been entirely
retitted. She was on the ways for repairs.
indeed, at the time of the San Francisco
earthquake, year ago last spring. Ordi-
nary prudence, would have required ths
owners of the ship at that time to conform
to modern marine standards and erect bulk
heads in the hold TO prevent just such d
disaster that which has just sent her to
the bottom.
The CHIEF Of the inspection service. in an
interview printed today. proceeds upon the
assumption that the Columbia was equipped
with buIkheads. 1t is evident that in such
case she might as we'll have been unpro-

maanded.
The SloCum horror caused sudden awak-
eaiDs 10 the fact that the federal steamboat
inspection laws were lamentably lax, ard
were being criminally neglected. both in the
observance and in the enforcement. The
rules were stinened by new legislation and

more commensurate pitch of efficiency. But
thu reform did not go far enough. 1t should

naming mute or mumbling their answers
in a manner to prevent all plain perception
of the facts. In one or two cases in New
York witnesses have been checked when ap-
parently on the point of disclosing the
truth by the transmission of death sign"
by persons in the room.
Now a terror Is disclosed. of the
same nature. Yesterday wealthy Arme-
MAN merchant was killed in the street in
New York by fellow-countryman. from
whom the police finally extracted the in
formation that he was an agent of a So
called patriotic organization styled ''hunch-
akist, and that he had slain his victim in
order to facilitate the rescue of Armenia
from the Turkish rule. When the name of
the society was mentioned to prosperous
Armenians in New York they showed signs
of fear. and the fact was elected that this
band is vertable Armenian black hand"
with, however, the additional feature of
masquerading under the title of a patriotic
society. 1t appears that wealthy Arme-
mans in this country have been system
atically bled by its agents, under threats of
death.
Our immigrants are of all classes and
types. Many of them are desirable being
sturdy honest. moral people. intent upon
making their homes here and adopting the
customs of the country. Others, however.
such as the Italians who comprise the
BLACK hand gangs and others who en-
gage in crime in this country. are of a type
to be excluded. They bring nothing to us,
learn nothing from and chiefly contrib
ute to the criminal records. They are de-
moralizing factors, and the sooner a method
is discovered to shut them out of the United
States the better it will be for us i'll every
respect. Our immigration laws at present
fail to reach them. They are able to meet
the requirements imposed by the statutes,
but soon they pass the test they be-
gin to develop their maievolent qualities.
Those who are not actually of criminal
bent do harm by herding together in the
cities and complCating the problems there.
Large numbers of them come here solely
for the purpose of making a little money,
to be carried back to Europe. and take no
pains to acquire knowledge of the lam
guage or to understand our customs.
What is most seriously needed today is a.
system of exclusion which begins abroad
and prevents the encouragement of the idle,
ShiftlesS criminal and otherwise undesira-
BILE classes to migrate by the transportation
companies, and which sets up, on the other
side a standard of qualifications lowering
the percentage of this pernicious influx.

The Ohio Mystery,

Thank goodness, in another week We should
all know where the republican state commit
tee of Ohio stands as respects Judge Taft
and Senator Foraker! For months the dis
patches have been carrying claims and
counterclaims. Now Judge Taft had every
thing his own way. Now Senator Foraker
had the committee in his vest pocket. Now
the result was so doubtful it had been
agreed to compromise and declare for Taft
for President and Foraker for reelection to
the Senate That week was as good lost
so far as Ohio news was concerned which
did not contradict the story OF the previous
week end increase the doubt in which every
thing was involved.
And yet. as a matter of fact. what differ
ence does it make what the attitude of the
committee may be on this subject? How
can 1t affect sentiment at large? Ohio is
q republican state and 1t ought not to be
necessary to assure the country that either
Judge Taft or Mr.. Foraker could carry it
as the party s candidate for President.
The proposition that the one could carry
II. but the other not. goes too far. If the
situation is such that a particular man
must be chosen on a particular platform to
Insure Ohio to the republicans next year.
then Is the party in straits of the gravest
character.
But there is no such situation. Judge
Taft as the party's nominee for President
on platform OF his own record and his
party's. would sweep his home state. His
people are proud of his success in executive
Office, and upon the simple proposition of
elevating him to the chief magistracy would
support him with enthusiasm.
Very unwisely. however. his home friends,
led by his brother. are trying to build his
boom on the ruin of Mr.. Foraker. They
want to retire the senator from office as a
part of their program. Now while it is
true that Mr. Foraker has enemies it is
also true that he has many strong friends,
He has not been leading figure at home
for years. and one of his. party's most bril-
liant debateTs III the Senate for two terms.
without interesting many people in his for
tunes. Why put him out of business?
What IS TO be made by coupling the Taft
boom for President which has many at
Gractve features. with a clarion call for the
destruction of Mr. Foraker?
If Judge Taft could be rescued from his
Ohio friends and his boom relieved of their
management his prospects would be greatly
strengthened.

Undesirable" Immigrants.

We have heard great deal in this coun-
try during recent months of the black
hand blackmailers, Italians who prey uDon
their countrymen by arousing their fears Of
death or loss Of property. sometimes by
threatening the kidnapping of children. This
system of extortion has been practiced to
such an extent that In some cities where
Italian immigrants are numerous a reign

ians fearing to give signs of their well
being lest they may be marked for attention

Mr.. Bryan's Hedge.

Mr.. Bryan is not happy in his effort to
hedge on the railroad question, and will
make nothing by it. Those who favor gov
eminent ownership and would hasten it will
be disappointed in his deliverance, while
those who oppose it, and him, because of
his original declaration. will still see in him
a foe to their idea of the country's well
fare. 1t is compliment to Mr. Bryan to
say that he does not hedge we'll. His
strength is in agitation. not in compromise.
And his weakness lies in the same quarter.
Which is but another form of saying that
he is an agitator rather than constructive
statesman.
Mr.. Bryan does not renounce the views
he expressed at the Madison Square Gar
den, which threw so many democrats into
a cold perspiration, but gives them an in
depreciation intended to allay feeling. He
still believes in the government ownership
and operation of railroads. and is certain
that in time we shall come to that policy.
But he is willing to wait until the policy
now in operation has failed. That it will
fail he has doubt. And in that day
nothing will remain but the adoption of
what he has recommended.
We may liken the country to a patient
and Mr.. Bryan to a physician. DR.. Roose-
welt IS in charge, and DR.. Bryan is
studying the case with the hope of being
called in. DIR. Roosevelt's medicine, the
latter comedies, will not kill. but neither
will it cure. DR.. Bryan has the only rem
edy, and wants to try it, He is willing
that the trial of the other remedy shall go
on until It is clear to the patient and to
others that change must be made. Then,
if he is in charge, the change will be to
his remedy.
What the country has to consider, there
fore is NOT Dr. Bryan's willingness to see
the Roosevelt remedy tried longer, but his
belief that it is bound to fail. and that his
own will then become necessary. In other
words. should DR.. Bryan be put in charge
of the case? We all know the power and
authority of the physician when put in
charge If he is worthy of recognition he
has confidence in his remedies, and should,
and does. apply them.
Changing the figure, if the people want
government ownership, and are willing that
the tremendous influence of the presidency
be employed to bring it about, Mr.. Bryan
is the man for the job. Otherwise, if they
have faith IN rate regulation, he is the last
man. with the single exception of Mr..
Hearst, to whom they should think of turn

for various crimes and misdemeanors. He
escaped Immediately after the killing. which
occurred during the early afternoon of May
81. 1897. and since that hour he has never
been officially seen. though reported from
SO many places that he might be suspected
of enjoying a superhuman power of trans
portation. Dorsey Foutz has become local
joke. Doubtless the police would like to for
get him, if they could He is constantly bob
bling up as a reminder He is unquestionably
a disagreeable subject at headquarters. But
as long as he roams the earth's crust a free
man it behoGves those in authority at the
establishment to speak softly of the long
arm of the law. and to go easy in COM
menting upon the certainty with which the
local police always catch their game. Some
thing is due to the local sense of proportion.
