ley Eighteen Feet at Summit and Seven Feet at Truckee

San Francisco, Feb. S.-A storm now
prevailing over the entire Pacific coast
has seriously interfered with railroad
and telegraphic communication. Heavy
rains have fallen in Southern Califor-
MIA, causing washouts along the rail-
road lines and carrying away tele-
graph poles There has been much
snow in the mountains. and should
warm weather follow, there will be
another rise in the rivers, according to
the reports received by the weather
bureau.
The Southern Pacific railroad lines
are now open from Santa Barbara on
the south, and to Ashland. Oregon, on
the north but below Santa Barbara.
floods have seriously crippled traffic.
Seven hundred feet of track have been
washed away at Oceano, and trains are
unable to pass that point In the same
county, travel is also at a standstill on
the Pacific Coast Railroad, and many
of the country roads have been render
ed impossible. Several serious wash
outs and landslides on the Tehachapi
grade between Bakersfield and Los
Angeles have occurred, practrating
telegraph and telephone lines and ef-
fectually blocking travel on the Santa
Fe and Southern Pacific railroads. This
cuts off the Southern part of the state
from direct connection with this city.
In the Sacramento Valley. trains are
not running between Davisyille and
Marysville, on account of the embank-
ments along the line having been
weakened and the consequent danger
OF washouts.
In the Yosemite Valley. there are
now three and one-half feet OF snow on
the level and about five feet In the
drifts. There is no indication OF an
abatement Of the storm. Several build
ings4 the valley are in danger of be-
ing washed away by the swollen
streams
The outlook in Central California is
for continued showers alternating with
sunshine
The snowfall In the Sierras on the
line Of the Southern Pacific between
this city and Nevada points has been
very heavy. There arc eighteen feet

Arbitration is Japan's solution for

islatures on the Pacific coast,
This is Japan's answer to the
theory that trouble with the United
States is imminent, and that even war
would not be unwelcome If the rights
of Japan subjects In American are too
far encroached upon.
THE determination Of Japan to
maintain peace and to have none but
an amicable adjustment of all con-
troversies. became more than ever ap-
parent in official circles here today
when 1t was disclosed that arbitration
is the policy OF the Japanese govern
ment.
IF, through the action OF western

the American government is not able
to force treaty obligations on account

titude on the Japanese agitation in

senator believe he will defend him

ed that while there may be a differ

and his colleagues as TO the rights Of
a state to take certain action, regard
less OF treaties entered into by the
federal government, he Will receive
support on account Of the dlsapproval
among the senators OF an attack upon
one of their number by the executive
at this time. Senator Perkins claims
that the criticism OF his attitude on
the naval program Is unwarranted.
I'm 1898" he explains, 81 became

have a single battleship In commits
sion and very few first-class cruisers.
Today we have twenty-seven battle
ships in commission and FIVE In course

Of first-class cruisers. torpedo boats
and other modern vessels of war.
The appropriation OF 1893 was only
s23 100000 for the support and build
Ing of the navy and everything else.
The naval bill now pending in the
senate carries more than $125,000,0OO.
In 1893 we had but $4,000 sailors
and marines Today we have about
$4,000 sailors and marines.
II have voted for every increase in
