JAPANESE NAVY OF TO-DAY
Eight New First-class Battle Ships
Added Since the War.
Russian Wrecks on Present List
which Makes Total of 2O4
Vessels of All CIasses.

Some reliable figures are now to hand
showing/the present strength Of the jan
anese navy. as compared with It's strength
when the war with Russia began. De-
tails are appended, but the totals may be
briefly stated, viz: 157 vessels Of all de-
scriptions, representing 2S3.742 tons before
the wa-, and 2O4 vessels and 5l5,0S2 tons
at the present day.
Further scrutiny OF the figures shows
that Japan to-day possesses more than
twice the number Of battle ships she had
before the war. a third as many armored
cruisers. three more other cruisers, al
most three times as many destroyers,
but three fewer torpedo boats.
Her naval losses during the war in
cluded two battle ships. the Hatsuse and
Yashima; eight cruisers the Takasago,
Yoshino, Saiyom, Miyako, Heiyen, Atago,
Orhima, and Kaimon; two destroyers. the
Akatsuki and Hayatori; seven torpedo
boats. or a total Of nineteen vessels and
1856 tons
ON the other hand, as against the two
battle ships torpedoed by the Russians,
the japanese bagged at Port Arthur and
in the battle of the Japan Sea FIVE bat
tie ships. representing 62.524 tons-the
Orel, now named thc 4wami: the Peres-
Wet iSagamD. Poltava (Tango), Retvi-
zan CHizen1, and PObieba CSue). In ad-
dition, there were taken eleven unarm-
ored cruisers t7i,276 tons, five destroy
ers Q.7i0 tons). or a total Of twenty-one
vessels representing 1850 tons.
Thus. the net gain, without further
building on Japan's part. is seen 10 be
two in number and SS92i in tonnage the
discrepancy between these divisions being
due 10 the fact that Japan's chief gains
We're In battle ships and cruisers.
Critics Of the expansion programme are
naturally asking why. in the face OF these
figures. which indicate an advance OF
fully % per cent. including new construc-
tions. the government sholld stiI persist
ia making appropriations for the army
and navy more than 35 per cent Of the
total national expenditure for the next
fiscal year. Leading fnanciers and busi-
ness men do not hesitate 70 point out
that. so long as the above disparity Is
maintained. the country must expect 10
invite foreign distrust, while forthcofhinc
attempts 10 negotiate a new loan are
likely 10 encounter no small opposition,
and even II successful. viii prove so only

shape Of some form OF hypothecauon.

DOES IT LEGALIzE BOYCOTTSl 2
Interesting Question Raised Con-
eerninE sherman Law Amendment.

cerninG sherman Law Amendment.
From the New York Sun.
The effect OF the proposed amendment
of the Sherman antitrust Jaw is TO give
to employees On unlimited power 20 com
bine in order TO compel their employers
to accede TO their demands, provided that
the means be "peaceable" Should Con-
gress enact the proposed law-of which.
fortunately. there is little prospect-the
courts will be compelled 10 construe the
meaning of the word ''peaceable." It will
then be contended that the section was
intended TO give some benefit TO trade
unions which they did not have under the
Sherman antitrust laws. and that this
benefit was secured by permitting them
10 combine. provided that they avoided
physical violence. Should this construc-
ton be adopted. the boycott would be
legaiized so far as the Sherman anti
trust law is concerned: for, while the
boycott is as oppressive and tyrannical as
the worst form Of mob violence. and is
far more insdioUs and dangerous TO the
public interests. il nevertheless is not
marked by physical force. When Mr..
Gompers and his associates placed an
embargo on the hats of the Danbury
manufacturer and threatened TO ruin
every retail dealer who ventured 10 buy
a Loewe hat, by making his product un-
salable. no physical violence was en-
ployed. II was combination to obtain
ulteriOr ends by means which were lit
orally ''peaceable." but were none the
less unlawful

might nullify the decisions of Judge Taft
and of the Supreme Court in the Debs
case, for II would make existing Federal
law inapplicable TO this class of boy
colts. where there is no element of ply
sical violence.

HAVILAND WINS.
IL Took Fifty six Ballots to Decide
that j. M. HaviIand Was the
Choice OF the ST. Clair Con-
vention for Representa-
tive in End District.

st. Clair, sept. 1S.-Dr. j. ii. Dancy,
of Capac, and Robert Springborn, of
Marine City, got more than they bar
gained for yesterday, when they acted
as chairman and secretary respectively
or the republican convention held in
this city to nominate candidate from
the second district to the state legisla-
ture.
The meeting was called to order at IL
O'Clock and after the officers were cleo
ted and committees appointed they ad-
journed until one o'clock.
This is where the excitement began.
The reports of the committees were
read and accepted, then the prospect
i've candidates were nominated with a
great flow of oratory. James NJ. Hav-
Hand of Columbus, John Volker of
Cottrellville, and Theodore Bell of Clay,
were in the field. The first ballot re-
suited with 35 for Haviland, 80 for Vol
ker and for Bell. Internationally this
was changed to 36 for Haviland, SO for
Volker and for Bell.
After nine ballots were taken fif-
teen minute recess was voted Oh to
give the delegates a rest. The chair
man and secretary called for water and
cigars to help relieve the strain.
After the recess the balloting was
again started but with no change. Re-
cesses were frequent and the chairman
and secretary again started drinking
water and smoking. 1t is claimed they
put away five gallons of water and
smoked box of cigars to drive away
the monOtony.
The Clay delegation was loyal to
Bell ahd they continued to give him
their six votes until the fifty-sixth bal
lot when they saw it was useless In
this ballot giving Haviland four and
VOlker two. This resulted in Havi-
lands nomination by forty votes, Vol
ker getting thirty-five and Bell two
