LOOKING GOOD FOR HUGHES.
Great Interest Reported in the West

Special Dispatch to The Star.

UTICA, N. Y, July 13-Assemblyman
Hart, republican representative from the
first Oneida district, Is home from q trip
through the west and southwest, where he
says he was astounded by the great interest
taken in Gov. Hughes of the Empire state
as a possible presidential nominee.
The people OF the east" said Assem-
byman Hart, have absolutely no idea of
the impression Gov. Hughes personally
has made upon the people in the west and
southwest. In Texas especially. our gov
ernor's words and actions are being studied
as those Of no other governor outside Of
Texas ever have been, and there is bound
to be an overwhelming demand for him as
a presidential nominee.
Il think 1t Is generally considered in the
western states that the governors veto OF
the two-cent fare bill is one of the best
things that he has done. They see In his
record of the first six months of the year
that xtatesna1shfp which 1t is going to be
necessar.' for the different states to pursue
in order to make 1t unnecessary for the
national government to encroach further
upon what some people regard as the func-
tons of a state government.

When inquiry was made of him last night
by a reporter of The Sunday Star regard
Ing sensational report in an afternoon
paper-that Japanese spies had been de-
tected sketching in the navy yard and
ejected-Admiral LeutZe was highly indig-
nant over the circulation of such a story,
and declared in the strongest terms that
there was not a word Of truth in it,
This denial OF mine ought to be enough"
he said Il certainly cannot make it strong
er than to say that 1 deny the story en-
phatically.
The order against allowing drawings to
be made, which the same paper printed
over my name, assigning me the rank of
captain, is old one that has always
stood in the navy yard, and which holds
true in every fort or government factory
owned by the United States
Nonsensical Report.
Besides that, the report is nonsense; for
what could spies find here that would be
of advantage to them? There is nothing
which strangers can approach that they
could not find in any boiler factory run by
private enterprise. There are no secrets
to be gained by the first conner walking
about the yard. For that matter, we have
a Jap working in the machine shop
Japanese subjects seemed to be by no
means under the ban ut the navy yard last
night. for, besides the one employed in tie
machine shop the admiral has a Japanese
butler who smiled broadly as he ushered
The Star reporter into the presence of his
employer, evidently knowing without being
told that the errand had to do with the
supposititious adventures of his imaginary
fellow subjects of the mkado.
AT the gate of the navy yard the solitary
sentinel walked his post unperturbed and
the dove of peace was lowering close.
How about those Jap spies?" he was
asked.
The only answer was broad grin.
Smiles were everywhere among the young
men, but Admiral LeutZe realized that the
circulation of such story something
Worse than joke.
Forcibly Condemned.
Naval officers last night expressed them
selves forcibly on that point. The general
opinion of members of the service is that
there should not be any disposition to ex-
aegerate trifes and that certainly there
never should be manufactured out of whole
cloth romances, printed the truth, of
srrreptitious sketchng of plans and forti-
fcations and the alleged discovery of secret
charts of American harbor defenses intend
ed for japanese officials.
Nearly all of these reports hitherto pub
Hshed, they declare, have been found to
have foundation in factor worse to
have been based upon deliberate peryersion
of facts.
Much mischief naval officers maintain.

OF Misleading Character.


The matter for apprehension, naval Of
ficials say, is that the individuals OF II"
two countries may have their passions
aroused to the point of outbreak, although,
they say. there is no danger that the gov
ernments of either the United States or
Japan would fail to estimate correctly the
misleading character of these pubiica Ions.
1t was recalled at the Navy Department
that 1t was the killing of sailors OF the
Maine that precipitated the war VITA
Spain. though up to the last moment both
President Mckinley and Speaker Reed con-
fidently hoped to avert II.
Some sensational and false report that n
Japanese had been caught red-handed as a
spy might officials say, inAame the eN-
ctable and reckless portion of the popu.a-
ton, particularly In large cities, to point
where attacks might be made upon Japa-
nese quarters or upon individual Japanese
in the streets. If. in the present situation
some such outbreak should occur and result
in loss of life the consequences. officials
agree, would be exceedingly grave.

GALESBURG, ILL.,, July 13.-A singing
attack on President Roosevelt and his ad

night by Lieut.. Gov. Sherman in res bonding
to the toast Law and Order" at the annual
banquet of the Illinois State Bar Associa-
ton here.
The high tide of the assumption of in
herent and unenumerated powers of the
federal government is at hand" said the
lieutenant governor. Since the close of the
civil war reaction against the claims of
the rehelious states has constantly ad-
vanced. These claims rightfully persisted
on the field OF battle and the climax of the
reaction has now been reached.
THE lawless attempts to invade the re-
served domestic powers of all the states
of the Union is as dangerous as the at
tempted secession of part OF them from the

OYSTER BAY, n. Y. July 13-The gift
that Admiral Baron Yamamoto carried to
the President when he visited Sycamore
Hill yesterday bids fair to join the How
old is Ann class. Secretary Loeb was be-
sieged with questions about the gift last
night. and today he made a special memo
randum to ask about 1t his daily visit
to the HILL On his return the Secretary
said to his questioners:
Il learned that there was nothing to be
said about 1t uhe gifO, and 1 asked no
further questions.
This sounded final, but not satisfying.
Even the quiet village folk have had their
curiosity stirred, and if there was any hope
of learning just what was in that paste
board box that the admirars aid carried
so carefully there will be a guessing con-
test on at the church fair. One disgruntled
man who had pestered Noah Sarman the
Presidents hired man. and Joe Mashing-
ton the coachman, without getting any
satisfaction remarked III let 1t was

The supposed gift has gained interest
through the fact that tonight Miss Ethel
Roosevelt celebrates her seventeenth birth
day. 1t has been suggested that the Jap

niversary and that the mysterious gift was
for the Presidents daughter.
