can embassy, will be followed by a re-
cention to the American officers on the
embassy grounds. On Monday night
Ambassador OBrien will give an elab-
crate dinner at the Imperial hotel to
tho American officers and prominent
Japanese officials.
On Tuesday the entertainments pro-
yided by the Japanese will begin. The
arrangements include the most minute
details for the entertainment of the
American officers and men during every
hour of each day of their stay. These
include an audience of the officers
with the emperor and daily excursions
to the outlying points of interest.
During the stay of the fleet in Jap
anese waters the theaters will be open
continuously and free to the men of
the fleet at all times. There will be
daily excursions to points of interest
in the surrounding country, and
these will cost the Americans nothing,
nor will any charge be made for ad-
mission to the baseball games and the
various other sports planned for the
Passes for the officers of the fleet on
all trains and special trains for the
accommodation of both officers and
men will be provided between Yoko-
hama and Toxic, and the street cars of
both cities will be free to the men in
Uncle Sans uniform
All the officers will be provided
with free hotel accommodations, and
carriages will be placed at their dis
posal at all times.
Each man of the American fleet will
receive a silver medal to commem
crate the visit, and each officer will
be given gold medal.
In regard to tomOrrOw's display of
Japan's naval strength, there is a gen
eral feeling that if This ostensibly in
nOcent demonstration does not leave
a wholesome: impression on her WISH
tors, it at least can do no more harm
than that provided by the appearance
of the American fleet The American
demonstration on the Pacific has been
interpreted here as a supposed object
lesson to the world. and Japan has
confessed her willingness to accept it
tious exhibition Of what her navy can
do will be for the sake of those with
whom her interests are more immedi-
ately concerned.
From all that can be found out from
talking with the. Japanese themselves
they apparently attach no significance
to the appearance of the American
fleet on the Pacific; but in talking
among themselves their opinions are
less reserved While addressing
Japanese audience at a public meeting
not long ago a speaker asserted that
Americas decision to send her battle
fleet to the Pacific had created the
greatest anxiety among the Japanese,
but that the; friendly attitude of the
United States and the cordial welcome
to be offered to the American fleet in
Japan had done much to allay the I'M
pleasant feeling.

greeting to the mighty fleet of Amerl-
can battleships that will in few
hours enter the harbor A half million
dollars will be expended in the enter

forever set at rest the alarmist reports
regarding the alleged Japanese hostil-

NEWEST OF ROSES
IS ON EXHIBITION
OF Salmon Pink, the Beauty
Flower Draws Attention in
KTamer's Shop.

Visitors to the flower shop of +. H.
Kramer today made the acquaintance
of the newest rose from the hot
houses of Mr.. Kramer. It is the Eva
Cooke rose, named in honor of Miss
Eva Cooke, daughter OF George H.
Cooke, the florist. who poued the
largest popular vote at the recent
flower show under the auspices OF
the Washington Florists Club.
The rose is a stately salmon pink
beauty almost the size of Mr..
Kramer's other famous beauty. Queen
Beatrice. The flower is of a graceful
shape, and when a cluster of them
are together they form as pretty a
picture as one would wish to see.
The Eva Cooke held a series of re-
ceptions today and was proudly shown
70 all who came into the store. Mr..
Kramer brings in only a few of the
roses each day. -scause 1t is his new
est product and he is stiu working
on Il to make the flower even prettier
than it is at this time.
That the new rose vii he a nopu-
lar favortte during the coming. season
was manifest today IN the vav it
stood out in the midst of older
beauties. Right near IT in a lar was
a Dig cluster OF che Queen Beatrice,
but even the radiant pink of the lat
ter favorite could not affect the more
delicate beauty of the salmon rose
The Eva Cooke, until IL was christ
ened recently, was known as seeding
1l6. II has now been taken out OF
the number class, and vii herea fer
perpetuate the name Of the young
woman who scored the highest vote
at the recent exhibit.

Chairman Payne ReSentS
al CaptiOuS Criticism

Criticisms from business men who re
fuse to accept the invitations OF the
Ways and Means Committee IS once
more the subject Of a statement issued
by Chairman Payne in which he depre-
Gates charges that the committee is
working on bogus revision"
The statement was prompted by caUs-
tic remarks by James W. Van Cleave,
president Of the National Association of
Manufacturers. Mr.. Van Cleave COM
planned that the notice Of the hearings
was too short and that few manufac-
turers had been invited before the COM
mittee. In reply Chairman Payne says;
There is not a single Republican
committed, and who does not intend, TO
revise the tariff so far as in him lies,
honestly and sincerely, in accordance
with our pledges. The chairman con-
tinues:
at is our business to get at the facts.
The committee did not propose to leave
to the gentlemen appearing before II a
decision of the question as TO WhetheF
their tariff rates should be lowered, be-
cause we believed il to be oar duty to
determine the question as 10 rates IN
making IN the bill, taking into cOnsid-
Grafton ali the facts brought out The
committee will continue its search Tor
information after the present hearings
are closed. II will also spend the three
months, commencing the first Of Decem-
Der, in a careful study OF the Iacts, as
well as in the preparation Of the bill
''The bill, when reported, will speak
for itself. I feel confident that when It
is perfected many persons who are crit
cising in advance viii nave 10 take a
course Of sfudv before they are able in
telligentIy 70 discuss it. They viii have
every opDOrtunfty to get the commit
tees sources of information IN order to
make an intelligent criticism when the
bill comes out"

When all was done she sat down TO

The food slowly became cold. and the
