Jap Attack on Vancouver Fire

FURTHER TROUBLE FEARED
Japanese Quarter is Practically an

Residents Being Prepared to Resist
the Slightest Interference.

nese reach anything like the dimen.
s1ons Of the September riots the Incl
dent has revived the bitterest feeling
After all the explanations and apollo.
gies made, both civic and govern
mental, Vancouver did not believe it
possible that an attack such as oc-
Cured could be made All three vic
Tins are still alive, though at least
two are disfigured for life. Young
Frost, a fine looking athlete, had his
nose sliced off by one of the swordlike
knives Of the Japanese. The other
men, though fearfully injured, are re-
covering. Mcdonald was removed to
his home, while Anderson is still In
the hospital with Frost.
The three men, all Canadians and
for half their lives residents of Van
couver, were the only white partici-
pants in the fight. They had been at
tending a dance and were returning
to their station when the trouble oc.
CURED. One of the three was un.
doubtedly under the influence of liq
uor, but the other two were perfectly
sober. Frost jocularly pushed McDon-
aid against the glass front Of the Japa
nese house and then the trouble
started.
Jap Quarter an Armed Camp.
Only four Japanese have so far
been arrested and all are held on
charges of attempted murder. The
most serious feature in the popular
view is that the Japanese section is
practically an armed camp against
the whites Of Vancouver. Two thou
sand men live together there ready to
resent the slightest interference. The
present instance is regarded as par
ticularly fragrant, because the young
men were in uniform, with firemen's
caps, and for aught the Japanese
knew they might have been attacking
policemen.
The Vancouver Trades and Laber
council held meeting and discussed
the Japanese question. There was a
large attendance of laboring men. It
was seriously proposed that if there
was no legal machinery by which the
police could go through all the houses
of the Japanese quarter to search for
knives and revolvers and thoroughly
disarm the Japanese then the labor
ing men should arm themselves with
revolvers for cases of emergency
The situation is admittedly serious, in
the view OF the labor men, and the
assertion was made that the mayor
and the civic authorities are fearful
to act lest they should offend the
Japanese government or the consul
The declaration was made that Pow
ell street is an armed arsenal and
that the Japanese are ready to fight
with knives and guns at the slightest
provocation or excuse.

Facts that Show the Certain Decline of
Chaplains Among Uncle Sans
Jackies.
by One Who Knows.)


| have Just cleaned a harvest of peculiar
information, n succint account of which, |
believe, will interest your readers.
In recent trip to the eastern coast |
visited one of our new war ships, which was
lying in the Boston Navy Yard and while
questioning sailor concerning the daily
drills and occupation of the blue jacket, my
attention was attracted by the passing of
officer. / noticed silver cross pinned to the
collar of his coat, and asked to what rank
he belonged.
Jack smiled and replied: "Oh, that's
father O'Gorman our chaplain | was sur
prised for a moment as | had forgotten that
IL man-o'-war carried such parsonage, and
| remarked as much to my new acquaintance.
YES" said he, "all naves carry them, but
not in such quantities os formerly. Perhaps
you may remember that the Spanish Armada
of 1858, contemplating the conquest of Eng
land had board twenty priests to each
ship; and, also, you might incidentally reco-
lect that the fate of that expedition could
hardly have been worse had Pope Sextus V.
cursed instead of blessed it.
eve have a Gay Head Indian, who is a
boatswain's mate board this ship, and ne
says that had the dagoes only had one priest
to twenty ships in lieu of the reverse, they
might have stood little show; but as it
was, they were handicapped from the start"
The Indian actually believes our chaplain
brings us bad luck. He was growing, only
last evening that we had hove up nothing but
foul anchors ever since the sky pilot had been
aboard; and lying right on the fishing grounds
last week, when every craft about us wa'
catching all il could handle, not a single hsh
would bite a hook from this ship"
And does your Indian friend think all this
is accounted for by the chapans presence?
lie knows j." laughed Jack. | then begged
him to tell me about the religion of the people
in the navy; and he astounded me with the
amount of information he seemed to possess
on the subject and by his free and easy man
ner of explaining the degree OF unbelef in
which these men saturated.
He began with: "You not of those
9, ntlemen of the pen, who write for the Sun
day papers, are you? | don't like to talk to
those people for they always get ones remarks
twisted" | assured him that should ] ever
have occasion to quote anything with which

RELIGION In THE NAVY


he might favor me, it would be to the letter;
and he continued.
81 believe the real religion of the country
at large is exactly on par with piety
in the navy. Concerning the latter l can
give you the few bald facts that are plainly
evident to us ali. We have now in commits
sion two hundred ships that carry guns,
about fifty tugs and tenders not armed, and
thirty shore stations; all Differed and man
ned by a personnel in round numbers of
eighteen hundred commissioned and six hun
dred warrant, officers, thir-y six thousand
blue jackets and eight thousand eight hun
dred marines
Attending to the spiritual wants of these
forty seven thousand two hundred people, are
twenty four chaplains, fifteen of whom
attached to shore stations.
"ln proportion to the personnel, we used
to have five times many chaplains now,
but we are Il progressive institution and
there are no lines along which improve
ments not being pushed forward for the
benefit of the service Previous to 1892 only
protestant ministers had been enrolled upon
the naval roster; but during that year
catholic priest was commissioned; and | am
now going to make a prediction that will
strike you rather peculiar but | will eX
plain to you my method of deduction later.
after five years there will be no protestant
chaplains entering this branch of our service;
and this will be the reason; the navy is an
organization differed and conducted by brains
ability and experience. There certain
necessary improvements being constantly in
troduced the utility OF which must be eX-
perimentally demonstrated. Perfectly pre-
else and accurate descriptions are kept of all
stages of these experiments, and the records
of the same so promulgated throughout the
service, that valueess observations are
never repeated nor the same mistake made
twice
Some things in our navy, that We're very
useful in the past-so useful that they were
almost sacred-have, when their usefulness
became seriously impaired by modern condl-
tions, been extremely difficult of eradication
owing to the sentiment surrounding them.
Even officers of acknowledged talent
skill and diplomatic dexterity. have been
obliged to handle with great care, one of these
relics of antiquity, in order not to jar the
delicate sensiblities of those good souls who

temptation of the dim future

at is self evident that nothing but a state
of deplorable ignorance could accompany such
conditions; and as ignorance and super
sttion are twins-always travel hand in hand
the chaplain was. in those days. very
necessary adjunct. But, thanks to the con
sttution of our glorious inheritance. the
minds of our youths have been developed and
expanded to act and investigate The dor
mant faculties of a past generation, over
which he of little learning held undis-
puted sway are mostly buried in the century
lately closed. There is a minute remnant
remaining but that fag-end of kindly and
knotty coil we are easing away handsomely
THE universally admitted fact that edu-
cation improves the public morals, develops
love for law and order and inspires respect
for the principles of discipline; and that the
reverse produces the contrary, needs no ver,
ication from me- \ few years ago one of
our observing Youngsters in the navy re-
marked to me: 4 see by the Army and Navy
Journal that the department is very much
concerned about the great number of court
martial punishments that have been found
necessary for the maintenance of discipline
in the navy; and commanding officers are
being called upon to use their best endeavors
toward obviating this necessity. Now. |
know one sure way in which just eighty per
cent. of these court martial offenses can be
obNiated las the Department calls it, and
I'll tell you how: Did you read the three
last lots of court martial orders from Wash
ington? No? well you are not keeping up
with the times. read them and copied the
names. In the first bunch there were thirty
four; in the second nineteen: in the third
thirty-two. Here is tho beginning of the
first list; OBrien, Murphy, Collins. Kelley.

them; and the second Shea, Flynn, Dooley,
Donovan. FIaherty, and the like up to four
teen; and the last; AIucahy, OGradv.
lIennesy, McDonough. Brennan. Casey and no
change until it reaches twenty-five. Now, if
you will cast your lightning calculator adrtt
among these figures for minute you will
learn. that when the Navy Department issues
an order to stop shipping the Irish it will
obviate just eighty per cent of the present
courts martial
