MetcaIf on the Dolphin.

Washington.-After night of con-
fiicting reports regarding the where
abouts of Secretary of the Navy Met
calf and his party, Rear Admiral Ev-
ans apparently settled all doubt by
the statement that Mr.. Metcalf went
on board the Dolphin and that the Dol
phin with the secretary and party
aboard will leave for Washington
Thursday morning.
A message signed by the secretary
was received at the navy department.
1t related to routine business.
A dispatch from Newport News re-
ports that the Dolphin is still anchored
off that point and that the lighthouse
tender Maple, which carried the party
on the trip up the James river, has
not yet been sighted.
An Old Dominion liner reports pass
ing a lighthouse tender-possibly the

jamestown Island, at in the after

Newport, r. Capt. William T..
Whitman of Plymouth, Mass, has ar
rived here in Chesapeake canoe. with
a lego mutton sail. The craft draws
nine inches of water, has a center
board, measures 30 feet over all, 6
feet beam, and is styled a "dugout." e"
The hull is made from three pine
logs bolted together, followed out after
the dugout fashion, leaving a thick bot
tom of 5 1-2 inches.
Capt. Whitman left Cherry Point,
Va, a month ago, where he bought the
boat, sailed her up the Chesapeake,
through the inland channels, and by
Point Judith, where the seas were
rough. He says the boat did not take
in any water
The craft attracts deal of attention,
and Capt Whitman says that in a
heavy sea and wind she is safer than
the New England type of small boats.

AFTER ORCHARD.
Defence Trying to Establish as Mo.
tive His Hatred Of steunenberg.

AlNG Ello E1aNlNI VI oNCuHCHDCT0s
Boise, Ida.-When Harry Orchard
made his last entrance into Caldwell
and resolved not to leave the little
town until he had assasslnated EX-
Gov. Frank Steunenberg, he did not
have dollar In his pocket which had
come from Charles II. Meyer, William
d, Haywood, George A. Pettibone, or
from any one jealous in the cause OF
the Western federation of miners.
II, as he has insisted, these men
melted him to slay the ex-governor,
and supplied him with funds sufficient
to leave Denver and look over the
ground in contemplation of the muir
der when the crime was committed
he was without their material aid, for
admittedly he was then deriving his
support from another and disinterest.
ed source
By these admissions under cross
examination the murderer of Idaho's
"'' g"vernnr furnished the first sub
stantial basis for an argument of the
falsity of much of his testimony
charging to the officers of the Western
federation criminal responsibility for
the homicide.
On Wednesday Orchard, touched by
the cross-examiner on the first vul-
nerable spot yet detected, left only
logical and reasonable inference that
when he went to Caldwell for the last
time his mind was infiamed against
Gov. Steunenberg. He had been in
the Occur D'Alenes for the first time
since he was driven out after the
Wardner explosion by the governor.
He was crushed in spirit, without
money, prospects or opportunity.
He had spent the liberal allowance
he says Haywood had made him when
he departed for Denver. He had been
obliged to pawn his clothing and other
personal effects to get enough for food
and drink and even this he dissipated
in saloons.
So desperate was his poverty that
he broke into the railroad station at
Wallace and stole a trunk which he
thought belonged to a jewelry salesman,
and when the contents were found to
be unstable shoe samples, he got
enough to keep him q few days by
robbing a cash register. About him
were evidences of wealth he had miss
ed by selling his interest in the Her
cules mine In 1899. He saw his part
ners of that year all millionaires, saw
their expensive houses, and heard of
the enormous yearly profit from their
shares. Some of them had not held
nearly as large an interest as he had
disposed of for $500, yet they could
not spend their annual incomes.
The contrast between his ignomini-
Gus condition and the affluence of his
old associates may naturally have en-
bittered him. Whether it did or not

St. Louis, Mo.--ln an interview
here recently Capt. Richmond p. Hob
son, U. s. N, resigned. declared that
Japan intends bringing about war with
the United States at the earliest possi-
Bile moment. He said:
Grave problems are gathering con-
cernLng our possessions in the Pacific
and they require the earnest thought
OF the people of the United States. II
Is natural for Asiatic people, now that
they are on the front of the stage OF
the theatre of the world, to believe that
the white and yellow races are TO have
a titanic struggle for supremacy.
The effect of the opening up OF
Japan has been to turn the Japanese
into an army and to cause the or
ganization of the Japanese along mill
tary lines not even approximated In
military nations of Europe.
Furthermore, Japanese officers are
teaching military science in important
schools of China, is founding arsenals
and raising armies in each of her
provinces.
IAN this prpearatinn cannot have

has been thrown out of Manchuria. 1t
is a movement In preparation for what
the yellow races believe is an ineW-
table struggle with white races.
The contest naturally will include
a struggle for commerce, and Japan
wishes to control the great market Of
China and have the yellow races con-
troll the commerce of the Pacific.
Japan realizes that we have ne
elected to establish Notifications in our
Pacific possessions, and also realizes
that we have neglected to build an
adequate navy. Consequently, she
could take our Pacific possessions now
without any material resistance.
Naval and military preparations in
Japan practically are complete. A
large Japanese force is being gathered
and at present japanese army corps
is at Hawaii in the guise Of working
men,
Not wishing to fly into the face Of
the worlds opinion, Japan must create
plausible pretext. Every incident,
no matter how trifing, is seized upon
for this purpose.
I'm my judgment our government
should send our entire naval force to
take station near Hawaii and the Phil
ippine islands, and run the risk of
British cooperation with Japan OF
course, as a permanent policy we can
not leave the Atlantic seaboard uncov-
cred.
THE only basis on which we can
dwell in permanent peace with Japan
is for us TO hasten the upbuilding OF
our navy"
