The American feet has arrived at Ja-
pan. On it's way Il encountered a ~
phoon on the north coast Of Luzon,
which battered the ships somew hat but
did no serious damagd. One seaman lost
his life In the storm. The Heet was re-
ported By wireless and was met by sixteen
Japanise warships which escorted the
American vessels intothe harbor Of Yoko-
hama. Here Official visits were inter-
changed by the naval commanders. The
reception in japan Is described as the
most cordial and sincere yet accorded the
feet. Nothing Is too good for the Amer
leans. Everything is thrown open to
them and they are welcome everywhere.
A feature is the multitude Of American
flags every where displayed with those Of
Japan. School children sing and cheer
the Yankee boys, who are frnternixing
with the japanese sailors without parti-
Gle Of friction thus far. The high officers
are quartered at one Of the Imperial pal
aces and will be received BY tbs emperor.
The welcome accorded Is said to exceed in
enthusiasm that given Admiral Togo aft
er his famous victory. The feet will
pass the entire week in Jepaness waters,
proceeding then to China. Two OF the
battleships that started with the feet
from Hampton Roads last spring have
made the circuit of the globe and re-
turned to the Atlantic coast, the Maine

WHAT is DOING
THE WORLD OVER
A WORD ABOUT THE LEADING
EVENTS or THE WEEK.
Sparks rom the Political Wheel.


Mr.. Taft was well received on his fly
ing trip South last week. He speut Sum
day as the presidents guest at the White
House, where political conferences were
held. Monday he spoke In Maryland,
going then to the Middle West and will
put in this week in Ohio. West Virgins
and Indiana. He will then come to New
York for several days and will close the
campaign In Ohio. Mr.. Taft's voice is
troubling him and his speeches will be
short.
Mr.. Bryan last week went as far West
as Denver, then doubled back and this
week is speaking In the Middle states and
Kentucky. He will come East and will
speak next week In Syracuse, n. Y, the
same night Taft speaks there. Enthusi-
asm continues abated.
Both Taft and Bryan appear to be su-
premely confident. The New York
World (Dem.) poll shows q Republican
victory by about 27 electoral votes.
The Democratic campaign fund has
reached csc, 900. Tammany hall has
topped the contributions with $40, 900.
Hughes and Chanler are having a warm
canvass in New York. Chanler finally
answered some Of the queries propounded
by Hughes. He said he would execute
all the laws, including those against
gambling, but did not say what his atti-
tude would be toward a repeal Of the
anti-gambline law. He also fred lot Of
questions at Hughes, which the latter an
swered at once. Many polls taken show
that Hughes will run behind TPtt in New
York and his election is in great doubt.
