Following
The Fleet
RUSSIAN OFFICER TAKING TOUR
OF OBSERVATION ON THE
FLEETS ROUTE

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia, Jan. Is
The importance attached by the Rus
fian Admiralty to the lessons to be
learned from the voyage or the
American battleship feet under Ad-
miral Evans, is shown by the fact
that navy officer, Commander Alex
is Diatchkoif, is following the fleet
around the Horn, travelling from port
to port by any means he can obtain.
He adopted this course only after his
repeated requests for permission to
join the ships had been refused.
II is reported that Diatchkoff sue
ceeded In getting on board one of the
American warships at Rio de Janeiro
and the entire incident OF this on
cer's activities had been source OF
some friction between the Russian
Foreign Minister here and the Ad-
miralty. When Baron Rosen, the
Russian Ambassador to the United
States. was instructed to ask for a
permit for Daitchkoff to join Admir-
al Evans. he declined on the ground
that he knew his request would be
unfavorably received at Washington.
Thereupon the Russian Admiralty.
after further correspondence with
the foreign Office. Instructed Daitch-
koff to apply personally to Secretary
Metcalf. This the oficer did, but in
vain. He was thereupon ordered to
follow the feet as closely as he
could. making use OF private steam
ers.
WASHINGTON. d. c., Jan. IS. -
No attempt is made at the Russian
Embassy to conceal the fact that
Commander Daitchkoff Is following
the American battleship feet for the
purpose OF Observing It's methods dur
ing its long voyage and to obtain
many valuable lessons to be learned
from close study OF all the condi-
lions pertaining to It.
Baron Rosen said that he had new
er seen the Commander, who had not
visited Washington while in the
United States. He was met in New
York by Colonel Nebosin, the Rus
sien naval attache. who took him at
once to Norfolk, whore he was intro
duced to Admiral Evans and various
officers Of the feet. He then hurried
back to New York, where he boarded
n ship for Rio de Janeiro. to be pres
ent when the feet reached there.
Baron Rosen said the Commander
expects to go from place to place
where the feet stopped, so that hi
may learn what there may be OF In
terest from a strategic standpoint
that may be worth reporting. Baror
Rosen said he had not maze any ap
plication for Daitchkoff to accom-
pany the feet. nor had any one iden
tilted by the Embassy, so far as h,
was aware. for It was not the prac
t.se for Governments to permit for
eigners to accompany their fleets Of
long cruises.

GREAT GOOD WILL SHOWN THE
AMERICAN OFFICERS
AND MEN

RIO DE JANEIRo. Brazil, Jan.
22.--on a day like mid-August in
New York, with a light breeze blow
ing across the hills about Guanabara
Day, the United States battleship
feet sailed at o'clock this after
noon.
The hills about the harbor were
crowded with half a million Brazil
ians as the ships steamed slowly out
in single file. escorted by sixteen
warships Of the Brazilian navy.
A thousand steam whistles sound
ed farewell as the armada headed
towards the Straits OF Magellan.
Preceding the feet about four miles
was the German cruiser Bremen,
bound for Buenos Ayres. She has
been anchored about 400 yards from
the Minnesota for the past ten days.
The fleet was ready to sail thirty
Fix hours ago, but waited for the ar
rival OF the mails from the north
and the carrying out OF the official
program. President Alfonso Penna
Of Brazil visited the Minnesota and
was received by Admiral Thomas,
Admiral Evans, when the feet sail
cd, was seated in an armchair on
the bridge OF the Connecticut. He
has received no callers during the
stay Of the feet here. His illness is
only rheumatism, aggravated by the
climate of the tropics. Today he
said:
Course Safe, Says Evans
II wish emphatically TO deny I'll
reports of an accident to the feet or
to the machinery of the Minnesota.
The conduct OF the men while here.
has been exemplary. Although We
now enter upon the most diflcult
part OF the cruise, friends and rela-
tives should be heartily treasured
that there is less chance Of accident
to those on the feet than to be on
merchant steamers. There is abso-
lutely no danger OF mines. All the
narrow portion OF the course has

Interviewed, Baron Rio Branco,
Minister of Foreign Affairs, today
said: Il cannot Imagine any cir
cumstances under which your coun-
Try could go to war, but you may be
assured that our friendship is real.
In the event OF your country becom-
ing involved In any diniculty,
think II highly probable that Brazil
would be willing to sell you her
three Dreadnaughts now being
built in England. One will be de-
!lvered in June and will equal any

Aerial Navigation
The beginning OF aerial navigation
by the United States Navy may be
accomplished at Magdalena Bay.
Rear Admiral Evans today said:
Before we left Hampton Roads,
Rear Admiral Chester informed me
he would try to send one of Mr.. Al
exander Graham Bells aeroplanes to
Magdalena Bay to meet the feet In
March. / promised him all possible
assistance and II the aeroplane ID
rent will conduct series of exper-
iments.
Whether aerial navigation win

purposes cannot say, but believe
II should be investigated and II a
practical flying machine is developed

In forwarding the following abstract
from a Panama newspaper, former
Vico.Consul General +. l.. lockwood,
of Bogota, suggests that the idea ad'
vocated by the European manufacture
ers would be less effective than to
have warehouse with stock to MI
orders.
IL has been limited to us that the
English manufacturers and merchants
are considering movement to extend
their trado In more formidable and
advantageous manner with the South
American Republics. The idea Is to
establish II sample house In Panama
of all the articles manufactured In
Great Britain and having a competent
travelling agent, who will visit the
South American cities to exhibit sam
ples and to receive orders from the
merchants, which will be attended to
at shortest notice.
We are confident that If England
were to give her attention to the
South American trade there would be
10 rivals to compete with and she
would hold a complete monopoly OF
the trade in these parts, especially In
textiles, printing materials, and ma
chinery. II what We heard is correct
IL is TO be hoped that the sample
house will be established in this city
as early as possible, which will be
great boon to the merchants OF Pan
anna and the other Central and South
American countries,

OF
Oklahoma
BLIND SENATOR is CENTER OF
MUCH ATTENTION AT
CAPITAL

Nobody about the halls OF Con-
gress Is more asked about by persons
In the galleries than Senator Gore OF
Oklahoma, the blind Senator. He is
absolutely blind, but by years OF
training he manages to put up such
TN excellent bluff at acting like 9TH
er Senators that 1t is difficult to con-
vince a spectator that he cannot see.
He sits at his seat and pays the
most careful attention to the pro-
ceedings, as he must rely on memory
to do for him what eyeslght does for
others. His memory is marvellous.
Senator Gore writes almost all his
own letters, and spends much OF his
time, when not required to follow
legislative proceedings, doing this
work. His method is interesting.
He lays a piece Of paper on his desk
and then along the left-hand edge
of It lays a little ruler on which are
series of small knobs, at intervals
representing the distance between
lines OF Writing.
He writes line. and II never
runs up hill or down, opposite the
first knob on the ruler. Then he
moves his guide finger down one
knob on the ruler and starts at the
next knob: and SO on. His hand
writing is vastly better than that OF
the average statesman with two
good eyes. He needs no letterpress
copies, because he remembers every
thing he writes by hand.
After he became Senator. Mr..
Gore spent considerable time learn
ing the Senate chamber. He prac-
used walking from the various doors
10 his seat, and now does II so per-
fectly that he can go about the cham
her with comparative ease and GER
| tainty. From any entrance he walks
straight to his seat without difficulty
or hesitation. and so accurately that
nobody watching him, and not know
ing him TO be blind, would suspect
| II.
The Senator's wife has been his
chief assistant in his work as a pub
lie man. She knows his politics and
affairs as well as he does, she read
ing to him many hours a day, and
he is thoroughly informed. Thus
far he has been on his feet several
times Incident to introducing bills,
etc, and has never failed to acquit
himself as well as any other mem-
Der of Congress. They say in Okla
homa that he is whirlwind as a
talker, but as yet he has not made a
speech
When Oklahoma came in there
We're vacancies possible in the two
year and four-year classes, and Sen
ators drew lots to determine which
got full term and which only two
years. Senator Owen, who is veal
thy and has two of the best eyes II
Congress, had luck. He drew thu
full term, and Gore a short one. TIT
latter, however, is a candidate To-
reelection, and there is almost NJ
question about his election to sue
coed himself for full term.
