Japan Less Aggressive
Over Tatsu Affair.
Toxic Paper Urges Government

posed to Aggressive Tactics.

Toxic, March 12.-The demand Of the
press and the public of Japan for ag-
gressive action against China in con-
nection with the Tatsu affair is sub
siding.
The Asahi, one of the most inluen-
tial newspapers, urges the government
seriously to consider the moral side
of the case and not to press China to
extremes. 1t thinks that Japan should
exercise greater vigilance concerning
the export Of arms destined for the use
of Insurgents against friendly COVER
mcnt.
The view is gaining ground and it is
understood that the minister of war,
General Terauchi, and Vice Admiral
Saito, minister of marine, are opposed
to aggressive tactics. The British min
ister Sir Claude Mcdonald, has held
long conferences with Foreign Minister
Hayashi.
The sentiment gathered from the
foreign office supports the suggestion
that Great Britain is urging an ami
cable settlement, and dwelling upon the
moral obligation of Japan towards
China. The foreign Office insists that
no ultimatum has been issued but the
belief is expressed that the negotiations
may be protracted.
In well informed circles, it is as
serted that China will eventually agree
TO the demands of Japan in conSldera-
ton of Il pledge upon the part Of Japan
that a closer watch will be kept upon
expectation of arms

SUPPLEMENTARY STATEMENT.
Commander Key Did Not Intend to
Criticize General Board.

Washington, March 12.-Commander
Key, who was one of the principal wit
nesses before the Senate naval COM
mittee in connection with the investi-
cation into alleged defects in battle
ships, has given out supplementary
statement which is in effect that he
never intended to criticize nor did he
mention the general board, which is
purely advisory and without executive
power.
In his opinion the board of construc-
ton, composed of the bureau chiefs.
was responsible for the failure to carry
out the recommendations of the Walk
err board relative to the distribution of
armor belt at the water line. The
present departmental organization was
faulty. he says, in permitting the
bureau chiefs and board of construc-
ton to pass upon their own work. He
adds that there should be someone over
and above them capable of technical
supervision of or coordination in
various projects.

fore the vessels reach San Francisco.
The fleet has now covered the last
long leg in it's voyage, the itinerary to
San Francisco from Magdalena bay
contemplating a number Of stops en-
route. Taken primarily as a practice
cruise, the voyage has come up to
expectations and ample opportunities
have been afforded for drills. evolu-
tons and other tactics, as well as
opportunities for careful seamanship
in waters of which many American
naval men are comparatively new.
Above all the fleet practically has fin
ished the trip without any untoward
incident of consequence and has ar
rived at Magdalena bay over two
days ahead of her schedule time.
Under very favorable weather condi-
. tons. target practice at Magdalena
bay may be finished by the end of the
present month. A certain amount of
work is set out for each ship to do.
High winds or other meteorological dis
turbances may cause delay in the fir
ing at the targets. The quicker the tar

opportunity for the men to enjoy them
selves. particularly in fishing. Con-
ditions under which firing is allowed
at Mlgdalena bay are that there are
to be no armed parties allowed on
shore, no flags are to be hoisted on the

rected toward the shore

Verm0nt's Maple
Sugar Season.

Chester, VT, March 12-Vermont's
maple sugar season was suddenly in
augurated today by smart run of sap
In sunny portions of the sugar bush.
Farmers generally. it is believed were
hardly prepared for SO perfect a sugar
day. The sun came out warm early
after just the right sort of Il freezing
last night and those who were quick
to tap their trees and hang their
buckets. had gathered quite an amount
of sap by nightfall
While 1t is too early to venture a
forecast of the extent and quality of
the season product a general opinion
prevails here that the want of a well
frozen ground proceeding the season
means less abundant sap than usual.

Brookline, Mass, Man.

Boston, March 12.-That David 1.
Hudnut, rich young Boston broker,
and favorite son of DIR. Frank p. Hud-
nut, one of Brookline's most promi-
nent professional men, eloped with a
poor nurse girl and was married nearly
fortnight ago unknown to his rela-
tives and friends, is the latest sensa =
ton in that exclusive southern suburb
of Boston.
The young woman in the case, who
was Miss Harriet G. Latty, is but 10
years of age, and is the daughter of
Richard Latty, farmer of West Ire
mont Me. She came to Boston about
a year and half ago, and after some
study secured a position as nurse
at 1874 Harvard street, Brookline, where
she worked until the time of her mar
riage.
Both the young people were fond Of
dancing, and 1t was at a Wednesday
night party in Howe hall, Boston, that
they first met. The acquaintance fast
rlpened into love, and on the evening
of March l the couple went quietly to
Everett and were married, the Rev.
George G. Hamilton of that city per-
Just how long the two succeeded in
keeping the matter a secret from the
young mans parents, or in fact
whether or not he knows it as yet, is
still question, for when seen by a
journal man at the Hudnut apart

ing the doctor would simply say that
he knew his son was to be married"
But at any rate, few of the young
mans friends were aware of the mar
riage until yesterday, and when the
news leaked out it caused general sur
prise among them.
Young Mr.. Hudnut is 90 years of age
and is engaged in the brokerage bust
ness with offices at 125 Milk street. His
family has always moved in the most
exclusive of Brookline society and are
reputed to be very wealthy. He also
is said to have considerable property
in his own right.
Friends of Hudnut have seen him
with his wife frequently, in fact he
was seen upon the street in Brookline
last evening, but it is not known just
where they We're making their home
at the present time. The young mans
parents have nothing to say about the
matter and the people by whom the
bride was formerly employed have no
knowledge of her present whereabouts,
knowing only that she left their en-
ploy rather suddenly and unexpectedly.

BELLS AERODROME
Has Successful Flight of 319 Feet and
Tail Breaks Down.

Hammondsport, N. Y, March 12.-
Prof. Alexander Graham Bells new
aerodrome the Red Wing" was given
it's test flight over Lake Keuka today
by F. w. Baldwin, the engineer In
charge of it's construction by the
Aerial Experiment Association for
Lieut. Thomas Selfridge, U. S. A. At
ter gliding over the ice on the lake
for about 200 feet the aerodrome rose
gently to the height of about 10 feet
and sailed at that elevation for dis
lance of 319 feet, at the rate of from
25 to 80 miles an hour. After having
covered this distance a portion of the
tall gave way and the aerodrome
was brought down for repairs. 1t is
declared to be the first successful pub
lie flight of a heavier han-air flying
machine in America. The flight was
witnessed by a number of people from
Hammondsport.
The aerodrome was propelled by a
40-horsepower S-cylinder air-cooled
gasoline motor. weighing 145 pounds.
The propeller was made of two blades
of steel measuring feet, 2 inches in
diameter and having a pitch Of feet
and weighing 10 pounds. The aero
drome proper weighs 1876 pounds, the
engine and apparatus about 200 pounds
and the operator IT'S pounds, thus Civ
ing the entire machine with the opera
tor a weight of $50 pounds. The total
supporting surface, including the tail
and rudder is 453 square feet, which
gives flying weight of 1913 pounds per
square foot
The main wing piece of the aero
drome consists of two superposed sur
faces, leaving a spread of As feet from
tip to tip and an average depth from
fore to aft of feet, 3 inches. The
surfaces are of double wire design and
are bowed laterally.
The experiment today was declared
to be highly satisfactory in every way
