sued an apology at the end to the foreign
governments which upon our invitation
had taken a hand. The whole thing was
a melancholy fiasco. What Japan has in

delay will not lessen American interest
in the undertaking. We shall be on hand

Japan has probably acted wisely in de-

According to the count of a bystander
who. witnessed the bout between Senator
Scott and another West Virginian at
Wheeling thirty-six blows were struck be-
fore. the combatants We're separated, the
senator delivering six and his opponent
thirty. This bystander becomes an OBJ
jecs of keener interest than the principals
in she edifying exhibition of statesman
ship. He must be a remarkable fellow,
WITH an eye like an eagle and a memory
like a cash register. Any one who has
ever attended the trial of a person ac-
cussad of attack upon another knows full
wea how fallible is human testimony in
thts matter of the exact details of a sud-
der collision. A dozen men of average
Intelligence may witness a street duel
ana later on the stand in court no two
of them will agree as to the precise
sequence of events, or, If there have been
sc ,eral shots, as to the number and
ra sidity of the explosions. Prof. Munster
berg Of Harvard has written instructively
on this subject of the eyewitness, citing
tbe experiments of French psychologists
who demonstrated by carefully planned
tests that even men of an exceptionally
hi.h order of mental development are
uk.rustworthy witnesses when surprised
bt unexpected sensational happenings. But
this Wheeling man. who kept tab on the
bS5ws when Senator Scott and his an
tas,onist mixed it up, appears to have
been gifted with prescience of the
essnt and to have been all ready to note
tt,s. biffs and bangs of the excited men.
IL ne had merely said that there were
"swenty or thirty blows no one would
have remarked upon his statement. Fin
ally. il is evident that the peacemakers
v ere in no great hurry to separate the
1,xo men. 1t takes some time to deliver
vstirty-six blows back and forth, especially
1,hen one man is giving only six of them.
