After Desperate Struggle.

Chicago, In.-George NJ. Shippy,
chief OF the Chicago police de-
partment, Monday shot and killed an
anarchist VINO invaded his home. The
inarchis, stabbed the chief, shot the
officials son Harry. In the lung, and
severely wounded the family coach
a James Foley.
Harry is seriously hurt, but Foley
probably will recover The chief was
stabbed in the hand. His wound is
trivial.
The assailant entered Shippy's home
while the chief and his son were alone
In one OF the rooms The man Is said
to have handed Chief Shippy a letter
which the chief opened and began to
cad. Immediately the anarchist drew
1 revolver and fired at Harry Shippy.
The boy fell to the floor and his father
grappled with the ~assailant.
Foley, attracted by the shooting,
rushed to his employers aid. As the
servant entered the room the anarch.
st broke from the chiefs grasp, aimed
deliberately and shot Foley twice.
Chief Shoots Anarchist to Death.
Again the chief closed with the man
M the latter turned on him with a
inife. Shippy attempted To grasp the
Weapon and received Il deep cut on
the hand. The police official then sue.
;ccded in reaching his own revolver
and he poured shot after shot into the
mans body. Evrry bullet took effect
and the anarchist fell TO the floor
dead.
The chief, his son and Foley were
hurried TO the Augustana hospital,
where all received treatment. It Is
believed the chief Is not badly hurt
and that Foley will lie. Little hope
Is entertained for Harry Shippy.
Mayor Bussr was notified OF the
shooting at the residence of Chief
Shirpy and Immediately left his office
and went to the Shlppy home, accom.
panied by his body guard, Sergt. MI.

An importunatc office seeker who
encountered Mayor Busse shortly after
the latter's return from the Shippy
home caused a c2mmOtiOn in the city
hall, and the occnrrt e gave rise TO a
runner that a whole SAL plot had been
made a~2ainst city officials, but mis-
was at once denied by the police.
P0lic, men were detailed at all en-.

was allowed to enter the building un.

guard that their mission was strictly
business. AT the door leading to the
CHIEFS private chamber detectives

NEEDS OF THE NAVY
TWO sATTLEsnlPs TO BE ADDED
TO FLEET.
Presidents Recommendation That
Four Be Constructed This Year
Not Needed BY Consress-Avoids
Rivalry with Other Nations.

The senate concurred with the
house in limiting TO two the number
OF battleships to be authorized this
year. The president was insistent
that there should be four Congress,
which holds the purse strings. would
only grant the smaller number. That
ends the matter for the time being If
the majority in congress could have
been brought to believe that the two
additional ships would be an effectual
insurance against war it would have
voted them in spite of the fact that
expenses are outrunning receipts and
that economy is highly eXpedient The
majority did not agree with the presi-
dent as to the need of so much in
surance. The coming years will de-
termine whether ii or the president
was the wiser.
There is a belief which perhaps is
not ill founded that the result of this
years contest over battleships will
be an annual provision for two ships.
thus doubling the program of recent
years. In 1906 only one battleship was
authorized; ditto in 1907 1t would
take too long if the program of a
ship year were adhered to, to pro
vide substitutes for the smaller bat
tleShips still in commission, which
were constructed several years ago.
Those battleships do not compare ia
vorably with the huge ones which are
being constructed nowadays and
should not be counted in the same
class with them.
Inc needs of the navy are not re-
stricted TO battleships 1t requires
more and better armored cruisers, tor
pedo boats, and torpedo boat destroy
ers and submarines. 1t needs more
Golfers and all the other paraphernalia
or complete fleet. The appropria-
lions for these different vessels and
FOR the sailors to man them will add
TO the bulk of future appropriation
bills, but they will be necessary ex-
penses.
Tho special naval activity OF one
country almost inevitably sets the
pace FOR others If a foreign nation
with which there appeared to be any
danger of the United States coming
into collision were to set about in
creasing its naval force at an unusual
rate congress would change its pres
ent policy and proceed to build ships
on nore extensive scale. On the
other hand. If the United States were
suddenly to expand it's program of
naval construction in a marked degree.
other nations, uncertain as to the pur-
pose. would hasten to insure them
selves by adding more vessels to their
fleets. That would be an unwhole-

TREATY WITH eRsAr BRITAIN.
Arbitration Compact Probably Good
for Both Countries Concerned.

The senate ratified the arbitration
treaty with Great Britain. though 1t
had received many vigorous protests
which were intended to prevent rati.
fication. The treaty resembles in it's
general terms one that has been ne
gotiated with France hut contains two
provisions all it's own One of these
is that the special agreements that arc
made according to it's terms shall not
be binding upon Great Britain before
they are binding upon the United
States. This stipulation is due TO the
Intervention of our senate as part of the
treatymaking power, which may cause
daleys, and if the present British sug
gestion is novel one il will be seen
that it is a perfectly natural one and
that II would merely put the two
countries on even terms. The second
provision to which we have referred
relates to the self-governing British
colonies. Before Great Britain under
takes to arbitrate a question in which
any of these colonies is concerned she
must by the terms of the provision
first secure the concurrence of the
colony affected.
Turning now to the general features
of the treaty. we find that no startling
advance with the principle of arbitra-
ton is proposed. The problems to be
submitted at The Hague are only such
as relate to differences of legal ma
ture that cannot be satisfactorily set.
tied through the usual diplomatic
channels. Furthermore, each power
may decide for itself whether sub.
ject under discussion is proper for
submission or not, which is to say that
in the United States the government
may act as il sees fit. But we
have no doubt that the machinery that
is provided in the treaty will steadily
encourage resorts to arbitration and
that every such means for preventing
international misunderstanding and
promoting peace will have the strong
and increasing support of public senti-
ment.
AS to risks there need be no fears,
for governments move very cautiously
in these matters. Differences affecting
the vital interests, independence or
honor of the contracting powers are
outside the range of the treaty.

The Panama Canal.

Secretary Taft goes to the isthmus
of Panama presently to see how work
on the canal is getting along and to
look after some little matters that
need attention. The trip ought to be
welcome diversion from banqueting
and speechmaking, and the report
which he will make after his return
should give the public some idea of
the progress which is being made in
the construction of the canal. Every
month or so there appears a state
ment from the chief engineer telling
how many cubic yards of earth have
been removed. but these statements
do not mean much to the average
American. who finds it hard to remem-
Der how many yards still remain to
be moved.
For several weeks nothing friendly
or unfriendly has been said about
canal affairs. The last bit of adverse
criticism was Mr.. John Bigelow's
pamphlet, in which he condemned the
present pain of construction in every
particular and drew the gloomiest pic
ture of the length of time and hun
dreds OF millions in money that would
be required to carry out that plan.
Nobody connected with the canal
has made any rsply to Mr. Bigelow's
charges and predictions. Little notice
was taken of them by anybody. part
ly because it was assumed that Col.
Goethals knows more about the sub.
ject than man who has a reputation
as a publicist but is not an expert in
canal construction and has no person
al knowledge of conditions on the
isthmus. When Secretary Taft gets
back he may make a comprehensive
report that will let the public know
what has been done, what there is to
do, and whether the earlier estimates
as to the length of time it will take
to complete the canal or the money
that will be needed should be modi-
fed in any particular
