The appointment of John S.
Leech to the Office of Public Prin-
ter is one that will receive the
approval of all who are familiar
with the requirements of that
Office and with the career of Mr..
Leech. Until his promotion, Mr..
Leech was chief of the bureau
of public printing in the Philip
pines, having been promoted to
that position in May, 1901, from
the Government Printing Office,
where he was serving as fore
man of a division. His services
in the Philippines were eminent
ly satisfactory, especially SO be-
cause he showed a peculiar ca
pacity for producing creditable
results with Filipino printers.

The Secretary of State and the
British Ambassador have signed
the general arbitration treaty
with Great Britain, thus taking
the second step in the program,
the ultimate end of which is the
submission to the Hague Tribu-
nal Of the Newfoundland fisher
les controversy. There are many
indications, however, that the
negotiations between the United
States and Great Britain. so far
as they relate to the disposition
of power from Niagara Falls and
related questions, have reached
a deadlock which all the diplo-
matte ability of Secretary Root
and Ambassador Bryce will be
unable to break. The Canadians
insist upon referring these trou-
blesome questions to a commits
sion clothed with plenary pow
ers, and, Of course, such an ar
rangement would preclude any
possibility of an agreement bv
the United States. Apparently,
the Canadian authorities wish to
supplant the treaty-making pow
er of the British Foreign Office
with a mixed commission, not
dissimilar in character to the for
mer Joint High Commission.

The comments on the "Hefin

journals are not wanting in sig

unanimous in the verdict that Mr..

to police the national capital. !"

Standing Rock and Cheyenne In
dian reservations were recently
presented to the President by
Commissioner Leupp, of the In
dian Bureau. These Indians,
many of whom are well-to-do
through their own energies, were
in Washington to urge the open
ing of at least half of the two
reservations which they repre-
sented to settlement and the al
lotment of lands to them. If the
bills providing for opening should
go through Congress, about g.
200, 900 acres would be put upon
the market, leaving about the
same number for the Indians.

Rear Admiral Hollyday Address
es Members of Chamber of
Commerce at Luncheon
Declares Pacific Coast Must
Have Large Fleet and Proper
Naval Base

Declar ring irrevoca bly, for an ade-
auate Pacific fleet and for the estab-
lishment of two Pacific naval bases
capable of caring for the vessels of
the fleet. one at Bremerton on Puget
sound. the other either at Mare island
or some other point on San Francisco
bay, Rear Admiral r.. c. Hollyday,
chief of the bureau of yards and docks
of the United States navy, addressed
at a luncheon given yesterday in the
Fairmont hotel Admiral Hollyday
expressed his conviction that the en-
fire Pacific coast should work as a
unit for securing the naval plants and
expressed his qualification when in
formed by C. C. Moore, president OF the
chamber of commerce, that the COM
mercial bodies of the coast had pledged
themselves to just such cooperation
Moore presided over the meeting and
brief addresses were made by him and
by Mayor E. r. Taylor, James RoIph Jr.,
president of the Merchants exchange;
Homer S. King. chairman of the re-
Gently active citizens health commit
tee. and Captain Brown.
Most important among the admiral's
remarks was his inference that some
location on San Francisco bay other
than Mare island was under consid-
Grafton by the government as a site
for the naval plant.
I'VE have good place at Bremerton
and we will keep it-that is settled
but when the location was made
Bremerton was decided upon owing
merely to real estate values. The site
could be scured for 5000 less than
another site at Smiths inlet, which
would have been better, and where the
Hill railroads now have their term
inals.
And the government more than paid
the difference in the purchase price in
the cost OF transportation during the
construction of the Bremerton yards.
But Bremerton is good place and the
yards will always be there; that is
settled.
YARD MAY BE NEARER CITY
I'VE will not discuss here whether
the San Francisco bay yard should be
at Mare island or at some place on
the main bay. You gentlemen are too
broad to be. influenced by the advan-
tage that would come to San Francisco
through having the yard located nearer
the city. You want first class naval
establishment. in the bay and you will
leave the location to congress or the
proper authorities
Al the conclusion of his remarks Ad
miral Hollyday refused further to dis
cuss the merits of the possible sites.
In an interview he said: The matter
is up before a commission appointed
