BATTLESH|P FLEET
TO VISIT JAPAN
The Desire Of the Emperor to Play
Host to the American Officers
Will be Gratifed.
China May Also be Given a Demon.
stration Of the Power Of the
Fighting Machines Owned by
the "Despised Foreigners"

Washington.-The American battle
ship feet is to visit Japan. The de-
sire of the emperor of the island king
dom to play host to the fleet was laid
before Secretary Root on Thursday
by Baron Takahira, the Japanese en-
bassador. The invitation, which was
couched in most cordial terms, was
made the subject of extended consid-
Grafton by President Roosevelt and
his entire cabinet on Friday. Secre-
tary Root was directed to accept the
invitation, and the acceptance was
laid before the japanese ambassador.
1t is regarded in official circles here
as more than likely that China will
be next to bid for look at the fleet,
and that should this be the case, the
invitation will be accepted.
Secretary Metcalf and Admiral
Pillsbury, chief of navigation, are ar
ranging the details of the new itin-
erary. With the exception of China,
it is determined that all other invita-
lions, should any be received, will be
declined, for at the best the fleet will
not be able to reach the Atlantic sea
board before the first of next March.

plea for an auxiliary navy, declaring
that without auxiliaries our navy is
dependent upon foreign countries and
that in case of war we would be help
less.

GERMANS AND HOTTENTOTS
MEET ON KALAHART DESERT
Last of Hostile Chiefs Suffers Defeat
at Hands of Soldiers Who Pene-

Berlin.-The government has pub
lished a cablegram from South Africa
reporting battle between the Ger.
man expeditionary forces and a body
Of Hottentots in the Kalahari desert.
The German troops had been sent
out to find Simon Kroppers, the last
of the Hottentot chiefs, who is still
hostile. The engagement was very
severe one. The enemy lost fifty
eight killed. Seven men and several
women were captured. The German
losses also were heavy. Captain Won
Erckert, commander of the expedi-
tionary forces; Lieutenant Ebinger
and twelve privates being killed and
seventeen wounded, of whom nine
were seriously hurt. The German
force left Cochas on March $40
strong, with four machine guns and
700 camels They made forced
marches into the waterless desert for
four days before stopping long
enough to cook a fresh supply of
food. The only water found was a
dirty pool, which was insufficient to
quench the thirst of the camels. Cap

the attack next morning at daybreak
and soon there was fierce fighting all
along the line The German COM
mander fell in the first onslaught and
the second officer in command took
charge of the expeditionary forces,
which drove the Hottentots from one
position to another, until finally they
broke and fled in all directions.
Chief Kropper's power has been
badly weakened by this defeat, but it
will be necessary for the Germans to
continue vigiant watch over the
approaches to the desert.

CALLS JOURNALISTS SWINE.
Member of German Reichstag Causes
Excitement Durinq Debate.

Berlin.-There was an uproar in
the reichstag on Thursday. During
the debate on the colonial budget,
Herr Erzberger, centrist, made a
speech in which he referred to the
governments treatment of negoes in
the colonies and made use of the
phrase: "A negro also has an immor-
tai soul" AS the speaker paused
after this remark, joking expressions
we're heard from the gallery, some of
which appeared to come from the di-
vision set apart for the press. The
entire centrist party at once rose to
its feet in indignation, and Herr Broe-
Der, the center leader, pointed to the
journalistic tribune and shouted the
word Swine" The journalists are
very indignant and have voted to go
on strike unless an adequate apology
is made for the insult to the news
paper profession.

Washingto1.-Pres Roosevelt
has determined on a legislative pro-
gram, the enactment of which will be
urged upon congress in a special
message. Each of the measures to be
proposed involves perplexing difficult
ties, and each will have far-reaching
effects in business and economic con-

ences, through which the president
has been put in possession of the
views of all interests concerned. Like
wise the attitude of the leaders in
both branches of congress has been
made known. Its success depends
upon the combined effort which he
believes can be brought to bear in be-
half of the whole plan by those af-
fected especially by some one of its
features.
The program includes:
A declaration in favor OF revision Of
the tariff in a special session to be
held after March A, 1909,
An amendment to the Sherman anti

OLD WAR VESSEL BURNED.
5attIeship Used in Civil War De-
stroyed In Guantanamo Bay.


Washington-The navy department
has received word that the old war
ship Monongahela had burned to the
waters edge at her station at Guam
tanamo bay. No lives were lost in
the destruction of the boat. She was
one of the old unserviceable wooden
vessels of the navy, having been con.
structed at Philadelphia during the
civil war. She was used as a station
and store ship at Guantanamo. The
Monongahela took prominent part
in the operations on the Mississippi
during 1868, and at various times dur
ing that period was commanded by
the then Lieutenant George Dewey
and Lieutenant Winfield Scott Schley,
and was for a time Admiral Farra-
CUTS flagship. Following the civil
war, the Monongahela was used as a
training ship for midshipmen and ap-
prentice seamen.

Reign Of Terror Inaugurated by the
Raiders Responsible for Loss
Of Tobacco Beds.
Many Tenant Farmers, Tired Of Con-
ditions, Preparing to Leave the
State, While Farm Owners Are
Placing Their Property
on the Market.

Lexington, Ky.-Because of warn
Ang letters and visits from night rid
ers, many farmers in nearly all of the
forty-two counties in the white hurley
tobacco districts are busily destroying
their tobacco beds and at the present
time less than one-third of the num-
bier usually planted have been start
ed. In many counties huge signs have
been erected on buildings and in high
places near by declaring the inten-
tion of the farmer not to raise crop
this season.
Realizing the difficulty of making a
living for their families in case the
decision to raise no tobacco is adj
hered to, many tenant farmers are
preparing to move to other states,
while many farm owners have placed
their property on the market with
the avowed purpose of leaving Ken
lucky.
The murder of Farmer Hedges in
Nicholas county, and the raids in
Woodford and other counties last
week, have increased the alarm. In
announcing their determination to go
elsewhere the tenants declare that 1t
will be impossible to SubsiSt from the
proceeds of crops of hemp wheat and
corn.
In the neighborhood of Mount Ster-
ling many farmers have received
threatening letters, with which were
matches, powder and poison, and in
both farm districts and tobacco towns
armed guards have been placed at the
threatened points.
