WARSHIPSATN YOKOHAMA
Noisy Welcome Given American
Battleship Fleet by Japan.
STARS and STRIPES FLYING
Streets Of City for MiIes Were Walled
With Entwined Americn and
Japanese Emblems.

Yokohama, Japan.-The American
battleship feet dropped anchor in the
harbor at $3.50 o'clock Sunday morn
ing.
1t was in the gray hours before
dawn when the leviathans of Amer
ica's great white battleship feet were
dimly discerned maneuvering of the
entrance to Toxic bay, while sixteen
warships, the pride of Japan, in SOM
bre color, swung at their anchor buoys
outside OF the breakwater.
From thousands of flag stats and
buildings at every point in the city
fioated the stars and stripes, and-the
entire lengths of miles of streets were
almost walled with intertwined Amer
lean and Japanese emblems.
The enthusiasm of the people was
evidently sincere, though mixed with
the natural curiosity to see the big
fighting ships from America, the long
and successful cruise Of which has
marked new epoch in naval history.
Foreigners were in the minority in
the crowds, but wherever they APP
Epeared, they were treated with excep-
tional courtesy because to the Jap
anese all foreigners must be Ameri-
cans many Of the Japanese being UNI
able to discriminate between Ameri-
cans and those from other lands.
When the fleet rounded Honmou
point and came into full view of the
city of Yokohama, the sixteen assem-
bled Japanese warships began firing
the salute to the rear admiral in COM
mand of the American feet The
roar of the guns, the bursting fire-
works, bombs, the shrek of the steam
sirens with, the drone Of the deep
whistles of the liners, filed the air
with Overwhelming sounds. Ashore,
bedlam broke loose and words fail to
describe the enthusiasm of the assem-
bled thousands.
When the American fleet finally
came to anchor, it presented an impos-
ing spectacle. Thirty-two great war
ships occupied four long columns of
eight each. The Americans taking
the place of honor in the forefront,
the Japanese Immediately behind
them.
AS soon as the feet came to anchor,
reception committee and attaches of
the various foreign embassies and le-
cations and the mayor of Yokohama
put off from shore for the flagship
Connecticut.
Every vernacular newspaper in Yo-
kohama and Toxic printed special il
Illustrated editions containing enthusi-
astic articles with reference to the
coming of the American fleet

TEACHERS POORLY PAID.
Georgia Educator Tells Of Con-
ditiOns in the South.
DEPOPULATE RURAL SCHOOLS
Tendency is for Farmer to Send Their
Children to City Schools---Avsrage
Salaryof Teachers $155 Year.

New York City.-That the average
school teacher of the south was both
underpaid and insuflciently educated
for the position she held was the rea-
son advanced by Jere NJ Pound, SUI
perintendent of the Georgia state edu-
cational board, addressing the students
OF Teachers College, in explanation
of the slow progress made in the
southern states along educational
lines.
There are 10000 school children
in Georgia between the ages of and
49," he said. "NoW the state has APP
propriated 100000 for their educa-
ton, or, in other words, each child
in the state is educated at an annual
expense of $2,82h.
'VThis makes the average salary of
the common school teacher about
twenty mine or thirty dollars month,
or $155 year since the school term
only lasts FIVE months. The state,
therefore, pays it's teachers less money
than a drayman or cook gets.
''The result, of course, is that from
school teachers have never had any
education other than that of the COM
mon schools. Those who are really
well-trained deserve better pay, and
we cannot keep them. In other words
those in charge of the school children
are no better educated, on the aver
age, than the child of thirteen or four
teen years of age, with about four or
five years of actual preparation. e
is not strange, of course, that the ay-
erage teacher lasts about, four years
and then leaves school to take up
some more profitable business"
Mr.. Pound concluded his remarks
by saying that the school systems in
the south were depopulating the coun-
try districts, instead of building them
up.
"The tendency" he said, lis for the
farmers to send their children to the
city schools, where all consideration
of their environment is neglected"

WORLD TRIP ENDED.
Big BattIeships Anchor at Home After
Remarkable XoYaue.

Portsmouth, N. H.-The battleship
Maine, completing a voyage around
the world, arrived at her dock here.
The battleship Maine ON swinging
to anchor at the Portsmouth navy
yard ended, together with the battle
ship Alabama, which is locked at the
New York navy yard, the most. spec
tacular round-the-World cruise ever
made. by first-class, modern warship.
During the voyage, which was start
ed from Hampton Roads and which
consumed three hundred and eight
days, the two vessels covered about
thirty1five thousand miles. The Ala
bama and the Maine left Hampton
Hoads December 16, 1907, with the
Atlantic Battleship feet on its cruise
through the straits of Magellan to the
Pacific, the former as flagship of Ad-
miral Sperry commanding the fourth
division, apd the Maine attached to
the third division.
After the successful conclusion of
the fleets cruise to the Pacific it was
announced that the warships would
return to the Atlantic station by the
way of the Philippine Islands and the
Suez canal, and the Maine and Ala
bama were detached from the fleet,
upon the recommendation of Rear Ad-
miral Evans, and organized into a
special squadron, under command of
Captain Giles b, Harbor, commanding
the Maine.
Their places in the fleet were sup
piled by the battleships Wisconsin and
Nebraska. The detachment Of the
Alabama and Maine from the combin-
ed feet was due, in the case, OF the
Alabama, to her inferior engines, and
in the case of the Maine to her limit
ed steaming capacity. The steaming
radius of the Maine without recoaling
is limited to three thousand seven
hundred miles.

FLAME KING RAMPANT.
For Seventy-Five Miles Michigan is a
Solid Mass Of Fire.

1SAAA AvA11o .oA EMCe
Alpena, Mich Fifteen people lost
their lives in the burning Of the De-
troit and Mackinaw railray relief train
which was carrying the inhabitants
OF the little village of Metz, 20 miles
north of here, to safety from the for
est fires, which were sweeping away
their homes. The ill-fated train was
ditched by spreading rails at Nowicki
Siding, a few miles south of Metz,
and the terrified refugees were forced
to abandon the cars and rush for safe
ty either down the track, with burn
ing forests on either side, or into the
ploughed fields near the siding.
Eleven OF the victims were women
and children, who were unable to es-
cape quickly enough from the gondola
car, which they were occupying. Their
charred bodies were found there when
rescuers reached the scene. Two of
the men victims were members of the
train crew.
When the forest fires closed in about
the village, special train of three
empty box cars and two coal cars was
rushed to Metz, in charge of John X,
Kinville, conductors; William Foster,
engineer; Arthur Lee, fireman.
AS rapidly as possible the people
and their goods were loaded into the
cars. Some refused to abandon their
goods, or the train might have left
earlier and have reached Alpena In
safety. When the train finally start
ed there were about one hundred
frightened people, abroad. The flames
were already sweeping through the
village. Engineer Foster started his
train for Alpena, Nearing NorwiCki
crossing, he saw blazing piles of ce-
dar ties on either side of the track
Opening wide the throttle, he tried.
to dash through at full speed, but the
heat had loosened the rails, and they
had spread, and the train left the
tracks. Blazing piles of ties surround
ed it, and in an instant the cars had
caught fire.
The terror-stricken people, caught
by the peril from which they were
fleeing, jumped from the cars and
rushed down the track. Three moth
ers and their little ones were not
quick enough and were cremated in
the car, where they We're caught.
Brakeman William Bartlett sprang
into the water tank behind the en-
CINE, only to be literally boiled to
death, as the flames swept over it.
Engineer Foster and Conductor Kin
vile fed down the track through the
fire and smoke, and were the first
to reach the village Of Post and re-
ported the wreck. and asked for as
sistance. Behind them struggled a
burned and wounded procession of
refugees from the wrecked train. 1t
was fearful march over the hot ties,
with the flames from the burning
woods on either side Of the track
roaring and swapping in the faces.
Engineer Foster was terribly burned
about the head and face, but is
thought he will lsuryive. Conductor
Kinville was badly scorche0.
The survivors Of the frightful ex-
perience seemed dazed by their peril
and sufferings. They seemed to real
ize nothing except the intense heat
and menacing flames.
Bolton South Rogers and Metz are
among the destroyed villages. Only
the church is left at the village Of
Cathro, and it is crowded with ref
ugees.

TOWN SWEPT BY FLAMES
Loss at Bisbee, Arizona, Estimated at
Million Dollars

Ell Paso, Texas.-The town of Bis
bee, Ariz., was swept by fire. THE loss
is variously estimated at between a
million and million and half dol
lars. This is the biggest fire in the
history of the city, and more than fif-
ty acres Of the business and residence
section were swept clean.
It is believe that several persons
lost their lives, especially in the. work
of dynamiting, as many are unaccount-
ed for who were at work with the
fighters in their mad effort to save the
city.
The town Of Bisbee was founded,
twenty years ago and is at present
city Of about $4,000 inhabitants.
