OF the many thousands OF persons in

flowers OF this city, comparatively few
have the proper appreciation Of the in
huence 10 which they owe the present
perfection Of the floral art. There Is a
man in this city whose achievements in
Horticulture are Of such a remarkable
character that among the men Of his
profession he is acknowledged as a mas
ter, and If he but chose to lay his claim
and bring with IL the proofs Of his won
derful floral productions, he would be
accorded a recognized rank among the
scientists that would be second only 10
the famous Luther Burbank, OF Calf
fornia.
Men who know the work OF T. II.

Sailors Chafng Over Close
Confinement During Stay
at Manila.
TOKYO WILL EXTEND
A WARM WELCOME
Reception Promises TO Be Most
Cordial Received by Big
Fighters on Cruise.

MANILA, oct 6-The officers and
men Of the American fleet are today
looking forward 90 their reception in
Japan. to furnish them the time of
their lives instead OF the festivities
planned in this city.
While the American IN Manila and the
Philippines promise to make up for lost
time when the delayed program Of vel
come is carried out, on the fleets return
from japanese and Chinese waters, the
enforced postponement. on account OF
the cholera has had a depressing effect
On the people. and the festivities viii
suffer as a consequence.
The edge OF the enthusiasm has been
worn off by the fleets formal stay in
Manila bay. and when the sailors are
finally permitted TO come ashore in No
vember, the feet will be an old story.
Plans Royal Welcome.
japan is preparing to Guido herself,
aud all other nations IN her welcome 10
the feet. Dispatches from Toxic and
Yokohama say that all political sIgnif-
icances have been lost sight OF IN the
desire to do the fleet honor and that the
enthusiastic character Of the fleets re-
captions in Australian waters viii not
bear fruit in any antagonism.
Instead OF accepting the gauge thrown
down by the English governors Of Aus
trallan provinces TO the effect that the
Pacific may be a white mans ocean
the Japanese will seek TO show by their
enthusiasm over the feet that they arc
not only the warmest friends that Amer
tea has in the Pacific, but also the most
powerful. and above all the friendship
which is most desired.
Storm Was Severe.
The bay was dashed by the fury Of ihe
storm last night and many Of the little
auxiliary craft Of the fleet were forced
10 seek safety in the Pasig river.
At times the wind blew at the rate OF
100 miles an hoor. and considerable dam
age was done TO shipping and to prop
erty in the city But the big ships
rode the storm without any injury, a.
though all the ships were under steam
in anticipation of being forced to seek
safety outside the bay.

Washington, April l7.-Willi. ].
Abbott, personal representative Of
William j. Bryan in Washington, has
handed a severe jolt to the movement
which seeks the nomination Of Gov
ernor Johnson of Minnesota on the
democratic national ticket. Mr.. Alb
bott made public letter from D. L.
Savage of Minneapolis, in which the
latter declares that Governor John
son cannot carry Minnesota, and that
he only secured the gubernatorial
election because of the weakness Of
his opponents. He says that there
would not be enough electoral votes
to pay for the counting. ''It is the
hope Of the republican party" the
letter continues, ito get enough
Johnson votes to prevent Bryan's
nomination, and the party is expend-
ing large sums Of money to accom-
plish thisend."
