The splendor and en- thuslasm of the welcome and enter tainment will be without stint. As the reports put fl. The Japanese authori- ties have taken delight in thinking up new ways of extending hospitality" The effort will be to far outdo all oth- CT ports which have had the pleasure of entertaining the Americans. If that Is done, the American tackles will about own Japan from the emperor down to the dancing girls in the fam ous tea houses
 Three special boat landings for the use of the fleet are building al Yoko- hama harbor The officers will be en- tertaIned in elaborate suits of rooms in the best hotels There will be special train service to and from Toklo Any member of the fleet in uniform will be able to ride on the street cars and rail road trains free. There will be excur- sions, theatrlcals, receptions, banquets athletic games, and quantities of sou venirs free. If the Americans do not leave Japan with sorcly impaired d. gestiye apparatus, it will not be the fault of the little countrymen there

BISHOP TiERNEl.

All Connecticut Christendom, Of whatever creed, suffered shock and an rreparable loss yesterday afternoon in the sudden death of the beloved Right Rev, Michael Terney, D. b. bishop of the diocese of Hartford He was a faithful minister Of the word a prince among friends, and truly catholic man in every sense. For four, teen years Bishop Tierney had faith fully and earnestly headed his diocese and during that period he had won for himself the love of all who knew him. no matter what their church.
 No better testimonial could be had than that Sunday morning, when lt was learned that the bishop was seri- ously i'll, score of Protestant minis ters In Hartford took special occasion to make mention of the fact from their pupits and to express their heartfelt hope for hls immediate recovery Said the broad-minded and well known pas tor of the Asylum Hrl Congregational church, Rev Joseph II Twlchell, at that time: There are certainly few things deserving to he held of more im- portance by the Christian community at large than tho character of the man who Is the official head and chief pas tor of our Roman Catholic people r has been, I am confident the subject of general congratulation and thankful ness amongst us all that such a one as Michael Tierney was in that place There was every reason why f should be- If 1t be so that in the orderinGa of divine Providence his work in 1t Is now ending, great, indeed, Is the loss. and great and lasting the grief caused by it.
 Bishop Tierney's work for his diocese cannot be ovcr-estimated He was Of that rare stamp of lahorer in Gods vineyard whose greatest achievements were made without ostentation and were little likely to come to light. He was. above all, a friend of those who were suffering, whether mentally or physically. Daily he made a visit 10 St Francis hospital when he was in Hart ford, there dropping word of cheer at every torture-racked cot Hart ford's bereavement comes at an espo- clally inopportune time this week, in view of the monster preparations made for the bridge celebration Yet 1t would certainly have been Bishop Tierneys last wish that the pleasures of none should be lessened because of him. He will be long remembered and long be- loved by the many who have known him. He goes to large reward.

ANOTHER VENEZUELA rI,sco,

As q result of the diplomatic mix.up growing out of the De Reus affair, every foreign diplomat who has had his troubles in the past with the willy and arrogant Castro. the dictator president of Venezuela, has been en- toying in anticipation, like q sweet morsel under his tongue, the pleasing prospect of witnessing the deep humil. iation of the latter at the hands of the Dutch government Time and again has the similarity of the Sultan of Turkey and Castro been pointed out during the last few months. There have been many to make mention of the Turkish rulers recent downfall and to prophecy that the head of the Venezuelan government, whom they take great pleasure in calling The Sick Man of South America, would soon meet similar reversals, and that the affair with the Dutch would only prove the beginning of his downfall,
 But, from all present appearances, Castro seems likely to escape again, just es he has scores of times in the past, with a whole hide. As some body has put it: Instead of Castro apologizing to the Dutch, the Dutch are apologizing to Castro. The gov ernment of Queen Wilhelmina has made answer to Castro's note In which he explained why it was that he sent De Reus. It admits that the much discussed note of the latter was of a highly offensive character from the Venezuelan standpoint, so offensive, indeed, that the home government would most certainly have taken aC- tive steps toward recalling him as It's minister, had it known of it's exist ence. By admitting this much, the Dutch government has virtually ox- pioded its case. It ls now very unlike ly that any passage of arms will take place
 TO be sure the Netherlands govern ment insists that Castro was not strictly conforming to international usages in peremptorially sending the Dutch minister his passports and thus virtually hailing him out of the country upon a moments notice, but that is not cause enough to go to war. While ayowng his perfectly willing

NAVY DISCIPLINE.

Every American is prouder to-day of the navy of his land than ever he was before the powerful American battleships set sail from Hampton Roads last December The countless tests which the fleet has fairly met and successfully overcome during it's long and eyentful trip around the continent to the south of us and then on toward the west, really comprise as bright and as pri2ed p page In the history of the American navy as any past achievement That fact will he real ized the more as the voyage draws toward a close From every port at which the fleet drops anchor come pleasing reports of the good work of the men who sail under the Stars and Stripes
 Two instances are at hand of tho excellent discipline to be found in the navy reported from Manila. one came in connection with the furious typhoon which ragged over Manila harbor Sunday afternoon and even- ing At that time the wind reached the fearful velocity of loo miles an hour. a phenomena of nature not at all to be lightly reckoned with, espe- cially by monstrous and unweildly battlaships Trees were blown down by the score, houses were unroofod and it was quite Impossible to moke ones way about the city. All com- muniaation with the shore was cut oft Yet in spite of these conditions the elements were combattod with every success and without the slightest loss on the part of the big fleet some of the ships being forced 10 take to sea to avoid dragging anchors lt was a matter of credit to all concern cd from Admiral Sperry down.
 The other incident which has con spicuously shown the hearty and wholesome discipline of the fleet came in connection with the court marfials which have been ordered for two Of the minor officers who are charged ! with drunkenness. That one of these 1 men is the son of Admiral Evans should conclusively prove that there | is no wre-p pulling or undue influence within the navy's ranks. It is not at all surprising that there should have 1 been some little trouble due to oyer- drinking in the fleet when the continual round of hanQuets and receptions which they have attended at every port is taken into consideration But navy discipline must be kept up with | the few offenders, no matter what their station or antccedents.
