TlLLMAN HAS FUN
WITH EX-NAVAl AIDE

Washington, March 14.~Commander A.
l.. Key, formal nava aide to the presi-
dent, in his testimony before the Senate
naval affairs committee proceeded to com
pare American ships constructed since 1899
with British ships built in the same per-
iod. His diagrams tended to show that
American vessels are overdraft to a great
or degree than the English ships. He
agreed with Admiral Remey and Captain
Winslow that ships should carry full
buukers Of coal when they go into action.
HIS observations in regard to the draft of
vessels were that the direction of the
Walker board of May 1S,19O5, that "a bat
tleshsp's normal draft should be her fight
ing draft, not her maximum draft. with
full stores on board" had been disre-
garded by the naval constructors.
you were naval aide to the president
whAt are your duties?" asked Mr.. Till
a
Chiefly TO attend functions at the White
House the commander began, but he
was interrupted by Senator Tillman. who
said:
In uniform, just as an ornament?'
"Oh, no. sir; not at all" the witness re-
piled. The naval aide IS supposed to go
with the president on trips to visit ships.
He 10 a sort OF an attendant"
Senator Martin wanted TO know if the
a.de is not expected TO advise the presi-
dent In regard to the naval program and
ether matters.
III the president had a young officer IN
that capacity his advice woul be re-
scented by other officers, I think" said the
commander.

Mr.. Morgan received his exalted visit

can. He conducted the ladies through his
salons and galleries and told them brief
ly the history of the rarest or most in

The queen and the dowager czarina ex-
pressed great admiration for everything

CHINA AND JAPAN
ARE COOLING DOWN.
Apologies and Not War Prob
ably Will End the Tatsu
Maru Affair.

Toxic, March 14.-The demand of the
press and public of Japan for aggressive
action against China in connection with
the Tatsu affair is subsiding.
In the well informed circles il is as
serted that China will eventually agree
TO the demands of Japan in consideration
of the pledge upon "A part of Japan that
closer watch will be kept upon the ex-
portation of arms.
China's Official Statement.
Shanghai. March 12.-The following Of
ncial statement has been issued by the
Chinese government with regard to the
seizure of the Tatsu Maru:
The Tatsu Maru, which is of deep
draught. anchored first off Chun Chow,
outside of the Portuguese limits, but
changed her anchorage within two hours
to Kin Cow. The Chinese naval police.
accompanied by the customs foreign Of
ticers, boarded and found her hold in a
position ready 10 discharge the cargo,
which consisted of ninety-four cases Of
rifles and forty cases of ammunition.
''The Chinese took nautical observa-
tons. clearly determining the ships posi-
ton within Chinese waters. Officers were
left on board for the night, and a tele-
gram was sent to Canton to the Viceroy
for instruction. The Japanese captain
twice offered brides, or the surrender Of
the cargo, provided the ship was not
seized.
The Chinese officers, observing the
Portuguese police boats were lowering
around the steamer, feared complications
and ~wrongfuIIy hauled down the Japanese
dag. At 1 o'clock on the second after
noon, no Portuguese officials having
boarded the ship, she proceeded up the
Canton river, and the next morning the
Chinese officials informed the captain or
the steamer that the customs regulations
provided for the holding of a joint In
suiry within three days, but this inquiry
was not requested.
China, fearing that Japan was seeking
n pretext for trouble, apologiZed for haul
ing down the japanese flag, and proposes
to release the ship, only recognizing force
maieure.'

WAGES OF COTTON '
OPERATIVES CUT

Lowell, Mass, March IA notice
announcing a wage reduction of 10 per
cent was posted in seven large cotton
factories in this city today: nearly 25,-
600 operatives will be affected.
According to the notices the reduc-
ton will become effective March 80.
Manufacturers state the business
outlook is most discouraging; that the
situation is without parallel in many
years, the whole cotton manufacturing
industry. north and south, being seri-
ously impaired.
1t is also stated that further curtail-
ment of production may become neces-
sary.
The corporatiOns whose notices were
posted today comprise practically all
large manufacturers. Whether similar
action will be taken in other textile
manufacturing cities could not be
learned here today.
There is no evidence that Lowell man
ufacturers were leaders in a concerted
movement to reduce wages.

San Diego. Cal, March 14.-Admiral
Evans battleship fleet arrived OFF Mag
dalena bay last night. almost four days
ahead of scheduled time.
1t is reported on good authority that
Admiral Evans transmitted a message
to Washington to the effect that all
the ships are in even better condition
than at the time when the fleet sailed
from Hampton Roads and that he is
even now ready for any unforeseen
that may arise; that the
entire fleet is prepared 20 sail for any
destination at an hours notice.
The Importance of this message is
overwhelming. The eyes of the entire
list of naval officials and practically
every citizen of the United States and
ever of the entire world were expect
antly awaiting reports at the terminus
of the long voyage as TO the effects 1t
would have on the ships. Now Ii ap-
pears the mammoth naval undertaking
is crowned with boundless success.
The target practice will be started as
soon as the targets are set up In their
respective positions. 1t is expected this
will be done about Saturday or Sunday
and that the battleShips will begin prac-
tice the first of next week, when they
will go after the worlds records in
target work.
