MAGDALENA BAY. March 2S (via
Point Iona Wireless Station, CAL,
March 2s).-Record target practice for
the 1s battleships of the Atlantic heet
is rapidly approaching conclusion,
and 1t is expected that next Wednes-
day, April I, win witness the final
firing on the ranges. The Virginia, the
Kansas and the Vermont were on the
firing lines today and they are the
last ships to complete their work. The
Vermont and Kansas are indulging In
target practice for the first time un-
der record conditions and have been
granted quite concession In the way
of preliminary practice. Monday. Tues
day and Wednesday, it is believed, the
Kansas and the Vermont will have the
ranges all to themselves. The gun
crews on these ships have had lots OF
opportunity to prepare for the work
at the targets and they should make
splendid record. The ships sent to the
ranges first suffered something OF a
handicap, as gun drilling at sea does
not give the same results as when
a ship is lying at anchor.
All of the ships, 1t can be stated.
however. have been doing splendid
work at the targets. and it is still a
matter of doubt as to whether the
championship gunnery pennant for
armored vessels will fly from one Of the
armored cruisers of the Pacific fleet
or from one Of the battleships now
here. 1t is believed the contest has
narrowed down to the results of the
small caliber scores, the three inch
rifles especially figuring in the equa-
ton which Is to be solved. The records
as at present compiled give no certain
indication of the final results. The
battleships have made high scores with
their IL and 13 inch guns, as with the
and 10 inch rifles in the primary
batteries of the Pacific fleet cruisers.
With the completion of target prac-
tice next Wednesday the crews will
turn to coaling, and then will follow a
week of cleaning and painting ships
for the welcomes which await the ves-
sells at the various California ports
they are to visit. When the work of
painting is done the 16 ships will look
as spick and span as the day they left
Hampton roads. and will be manned by
crews that are trained to the minute
and are ready for any service.
Next Thursday night, April 2, a ban
quet is to be given on the Mexican gun
boat Tampico, which has been here
ever since the feet arrived. The host
of the evening will be Governor San
guinez of the southern district of
Lower California, who came to Mag
dalena to greet Admiral Evans and the
other American officers as the personal
representative of President DIaz of
Mexico. Covers for 80 will be laid, the
guest list including all flag and COM
manding officers. Following the din
ner, which is to be an elaborate one,
there will be an exchange of speeches
on the quarter deck of the Tampico.
Governor Sanguinez will make the ad-
dress on behalf of the Mexican gov
ernment, and the responses will be by
Rear Admiral c. M. Thomas, who COM
mands the fleet In the absence of Ad-
miral Evans, and by Captain Seaton
Schroeder of the Virginia.

Secretary Loeb, when informed by the
Associated Press that Emperor William
had relented and had, according to ad-
vices from Berlin, so advised the presi-
dent. stated that no communication OF
that nature had yet been received. In
the absence of such official notification,
he added, there was nothing to be said
on the subject tonight.
Secretary Root said he was pleased
to hear that the German emperor was
now willing to accept DIR. Hill, but that

House, with without any advice con-
firmatory of the Berlin dispatch. He
was not prepared to say what the out
come would be in the event that the
report of the emperor's aboutface
should prove true.
Probably the immediate effect of the
change of front at Berlin will be to
bring about a change in the American
representation at the embassy at a
much earlier date than was contem-
plated. AS already announced. Mr..
Tower had signifed desire to relin-
quish his post next August, and 1t
would not be surprising if, in view of
these later developments, the change
should occur much sooner.
1t is believed that Emperor William
was animated not by any aversion to
Doctor Hill or his spouse. but rather
by a wish to keep near him the Towers,
for whom he has conceived a warm
friendship. OF course, the thing could
not be done; our government would be
perfectly willing to admit the right
of objection, but to go further would
be to admit a right of nomination.

Australian coal field for a large supply
of fuel for Pacific coast use. Orders
were placed and charters were engaged.
Then came strike in the collieries of
Australia and production was suspend
ed in large measure Ships under char
ter could not load. There was what
the baseballmen call a punching of
hits" When the strike was over in
Australia there was haste to load.
Night and day. in rapid succession,
came the coal ships bound for San
Francisco. They had not arrived in
large number before it became evident
TO the coal barons that there was
trouble In store for them.
If the coal could not be sold as fast
as had been anticipated there was i'm
mediate and obvious necessity to pro-
cure some place to store the arriving
cargoes. The coal bunkers could not
hold more than months supply at
the uttermost When vessels crowded
one another coming into port there was
a demand on the part OF the ship own
ers that their vessels should be dis
charged at the rate of 500 tons or SO
a day. This could not be done after
the bunkers were filled.
Yards were hired for coal storage
Ships in the stream, on which demur-
rage at the rate of cents per regis
charged into other vessels that were
hired for the use and barges crowded
to the limit. 1t is estimated by coal
men that there are 10000 tons OF coal
affoat on the bay of San Francisco now
that cannot be landed Immediately
Most of it is paying rental.
The labor shortage in British Co
lumbia is over. Coal can be produced
there cheaper than 1t can be brought
from Australian collieries. In this the
Western fuel company has an advan-
tage II it sees At to sell coal at a
lower price to release the capital in
vested 1t can average the price by add
ing cheaper coal to its store and max
ing the best of the situation that is
possible.

Steel.

The question of Il few years age,
"Where is all the iron going?" has
given way to one far less comforting,
where will the demand come from?'
There is great uncertainty, says the
Iron Trade Review, among the buyers
of steel bars as to the stability Of
present prices both as to the raw ma
terial and to the manufactured prod
uct. Manufacturers say that when
they open their doors for production
it must be to q demand for lowered
prices, and that will mean a loss il
the cost of production cannot be low
cred. Unless the price of steel goes
lower the cost of production cannot be
reduced if labor will not submit to a
reduction OF wages. The effect of the
reduction on steel is thus discussed
by the Review:
Although the recent price reductions in
iron and steel products have released
considerable tonnage which had been
| suspended in anticipation of such a de-
velopment, 1t is clear that the results so
far apparent have not fulfilled the ex-
| pectations of the most sanguine. If the
immediate purpose that dictated the price
changes was to stimulate a full confidence
among buyers as to the future, it would
| appear from present evidences that the
effort has not yet been productive of the
| desired results. The trade generally is
still o%bligating itself to TAX only that
tonnage for which 1t has actual need, so
| far as orders for it's products go. and
! r1,in1y cJ,;nY1oop j,ct ~, ofiorr .oD,+j~,,> x,o--,
familiar expressions to the mills.
Response to the cut came principal
ly from implement manufacturers,
who buy steel bars and who usually
buy at this season of the year. Other
factories working in steel may feel in
dications of returning trade which are
not on the surface at present and be.
gin to contract more actively for theil
raw material.

ssRevolution,' In Mexico.

Sometimes the Mexicans have made
uprisings seriously and given the
reigning government no little trouble.
Macmillan was deposed and put to
death by revolutionists - in other
words, a rebellion against the exist
ing order of things which succeeded
Many years ago Mexico was the scene
Of frequent revolutions similar to
those against the Spanish rule in Gu
ba. Every Mexican state or province
had it's separate traditions and it's
grievances, and ambitious men fos-
tered and from time to time rallied
the spirit of independence. The actual
opening of hostilities between this
country and Mexico was marked by
occurrences along the border similar
to those which have perpleXed the
Mexican government recently. There
were raids across the line and disturb
ances which led this country to pro-
test and finally to act The Mexican
dictator excused his failure to keep
order by saying that the trouble
makers were insurgents, whom he
couldn't control. "Then I'll come over
and keep order for you," said blunt
old General Taylor, and he kept his
word.
There has usually been shrewd cal
culation behind the uprisings of Mex
Hans near the border. If they meant
revolution, their plans would be for
warded by embroiling Mexico and the
United States. If the game was out
lawry and plumber, a state of war is
favorable to lawless operations.
On the other hand, the serious re-
volts of Mexico brought about by po-
litical feeling have had their origin in
the provincial centers far from the
northern border. 1t has been the aim
of President Diaz to consolidate and
| strengthen the federal union of Next
co and to utilize the ambition and n
ergy OF the provincial leaders. 1t
would be strange, however, if the
spirit Of opposition is dead in the an
cient and powerful families Of Mexico.
The trade of professional revolution
lists has waned before advancing civ
ilization and increasing industry. The
people have had nc time to feel mere
discomfort. But where principle is in
volved there may be enough of the
old spirit to cause manifestations trou-
blesome if not embarrassing to the
government Of Diaz.

Cuba Willing to Forget,

The first visit of a Spanish warship
to Cuban waters since the separation
of the island from Spanish control ten
years ago was recently made a Joy
GUS event in Havana. 1t was a purely
friendly visit, and the spirit in which
old foes got together affords cheer
ing evidence Of the changed relations
between Cuba and the mother country.
Considerably more than ten years
had to elapse before the animosities of
the Revolutionary war ceased to af-
feet the relations Of the people Of this
country with the English. Cuba has
more to be bitter against the
Spanish rule than the United States
had to hate and distrust England.
The rule Of the Spaniard in Cuba was
a cold blooded oppression. Yet Cuba
seems willing to forgive and forget al
the first opportunity to show national
good will. Ties Of race, tradition. his
tory, literature and religion bind the
Cuban and the Spaniard too strongly
to permit memories Of old wrongs tt
keep them long apart.

THE RAILROADS AND THE VOTERS.

The railroads of the United States
employed 1.672,074 persons last year,
most of them males and most of them
voters. They constitute about 10 per
cent of the total vote in a presidential
election.
Under the act to regulate railroad
rates the president of the United States
now eXerts a tremendous power over the
wage-welfare of all these l,672,O74 en-
ployees. The members of the interstate
commerce commission are politicians APP
pointed by The president and removable
by the president. Of necessity they
must carry out his orders If they are to
remain in office. If the president wishes
to reduce the wages of this great army
of employees it would be necessary only
for his commissioners to order a reduc-
ton in freight rates. If the president
| wished to increase wages or prevent a
reduction it would be necessary only to
permit an increase in freight rates.
Would it not be easily possible for an
INSCRIPTIONS president to consolidate
and use these 1,67S,O74 votes by virtue
of his power over railroad earnings and
therefore owe railroad wages? What
railroad would dare reduce wages
against the presidents wishes? What
railroad would refuse to grant any
possible increase in wages if the presi-
dent so commanded? Such gross abuses
of power may never come about, but the
question is one for the American people
to consider carefully before they permit
more power to be centralized under
existing political condition in the hands
of the chief executive at Washington.

Something to Do.

According to the moraliZing critics
as a whole now presents the aspect Of
the individual with nothing to do but
get into mischief. The social aspira-
ton and idealism which the reaction
rudely checked have given way to the
perverted, the fantastic, the ugly, the
grotesque and even to something
worse. One Of the professors at the
University of Moscow is quoted as
saying that the revolution has come to
end in a scandalous b%accanale. This
is shown not alone in national fiction,
but in national life, for the heroes Of
the late uplift think now of nothing
but their W pleasure, and all decent
restraints are everywhere disregarded.
Physically and psychically Russia is
sick, and her literature and thought
reflect this condition.
In the revolution, or what passed
for that, the Russian mind had food
for healthy thought, and there was
enough action to release the pressure
Of hot blood. Reaction damned up
the outlet. Bright thinkers turned to
abnormal ideas. The z some time
ago invited the people to help the gov
eminent develop and maintain ma
tionality, and there really seemed hope
for young Russia when Legitimate
fields of activity We're opened for the
disconnected. But the history Of the
era is brief. The %autocracy took
fright, and the people were thrown
back upon themselves, with the lam
entable result which is now pro-
claimed by critic and reformer alike.
