Fleet Will Visit Japan.

Washington.-The American battle
ship fleet Is to visit japan. The desire
of the Emperor of the island kingdom
to play host to the feet was laid before
Secretary Root Thursday by Baron
Takahira, the Japanese ambassador.
The invitation, which was couched in
most cordial terms, was made the sub
ject of extended consideration by Pres
ident Roosevelt and his entire cabinet.
Secretary Root was directed to accept
the invitation and the acceptance was
laid before the Japanese ambassador
Friday.
1t is regarded in official circles here
as more than likely that China will be
next to bid for look at the fleet, and
that should this be the case, the invi-
tation would be accepted.
With the exception of China, 1t is
believed to have been determined that
all other invitations, should any be re-
ceived, will be declined, for at best the
feet will not now be able to reach the
Atlantic seaboard before the first
Of next March.
The itinerary which seems to be the
most direct includes stops at the Ha-
waiian Islands, Samoa, Melbourne,
Sydney, Manila. Yokohama-should
that port be selected as the stopping
place In Japan-possibly Chinese
port. back to the Philippines. and then
home by the way of the Suez canal,
with only such stops as are necessary
for coaling.
Japan will have the ships a week,
according to tentative plans.
The acceptance of the Japanese in
vitation is regarded in official circles
as of considerable Importance in the
way of q demonstration of the cordial
ity existing between the American
and Japanese governments. The added
trip is nearly equal in distance to a
voyage from New York to Europe.

Senate passe. Subsidy Bill.

Washington.-The ship subsidy bill
was passed by the senate Friday. 1t
pays to sixteen-knot vessels plying be-
tween this country and South Amer
lea, the Philippines, Japan, China and
Australia, 81 per mile, the amount
awarded by the act of 1891 to vessels Of
twenty knots only.
The bill was amended in the senate
SO that twelve-knot vessels will receive
81 per mile, which is the allowance un-
der existing law to sixteen-knot yes
sells Amendments were also adopted
providing that If two or more lines
of steamships ply from Atlantic ports
to South America under the provisions
Of the bill, one shall stop at two ports
south of Cape Charles, and stipplating
that no more shall be paid fSy sub
sides than is received from such SER
vice by the government.
During the consideration of the
measure, Mr.. Hale made spirited plea
for an auxiliary navy, declaring that
without auxiliaries our navy is de-
pendent upon foreign countries and
that in case Of war we would be help
less.
