COMMANDED FLAGSHIP OF AD-
MiRAL TOGO DURING WAR
WITH RUSSIA.

Los Angeles, April 26.l - The two
/ days entertainment, planned In
southern California for the officers
and men of Rear Admiral Ijichi's
training squadron from Japan began
at noon today and will continue until
1.-THE cruisers weigh anchor Wednes-
Eday. The admiral says liberal shore
leave will be granted.
For the first time in ten years war
ships of Japan entered a Pacific coast
port of the United States when the
cruiser Soya and Aso. comprising the
Japanese training squadron, comman-
|ded by Rear Admiral H. Ijichi steam
ed into San Pedro at noon yesterday
Not since the training ships entered
the bay Of san FranciaeDs a half
score years ago, have vessels flying
the flag Of the Rising Sun been sight
ed on the western shores of this
country
The Aso. and Soya dropped anchor
at San Pedro, the harbor of Los AM
|geles, on a peaceful visit of some
weeks duration. which will take them
to all of the principal ports of the
Pacific coast. The Aso is the form
er Russian cruiser Bayan, found in
the harbor OF Port Arthur after Gen
|eral Stoessel surrendered that fortress
into the hands of the victorious jap
anese The Soya was formerly the
cruiser Variag, which was caught in
the harbor of Chemulpo, Korea, just
before the breaking up of the war and
sunk by the Japanese fleet
Today these craft are comparative
ly modern warships, carrying heavy
batteries and equipped with high
speed engines. Each has a single
forward and after turnet eight-inch
gun, broadside battery of eight six
inch guns and sixteen of three-inch
calibre. They carry crews of 800
men each, including 81 officers and
1S5 cadets of the Japanese navy.
The Aso is the flagship of Admiral
Ijichi. He is veteran of the war
with Russia and commanded the bat
tleship Mikasa, the flagship of Ad-
miral Togo. which participated in all
the memorable battles of that war
and on which Admiral Rojestavensky
was taken as prisoner of war after
his defeat in the Sea Of Japan. Admir-
al Ijichi is now grizzled veteran of
SO years. He has made one visit to
the United States, when in 1880, he
visited San Francisco as cadet on a
Japanese corvette.

DIFFERENCES OF OPINION
PROPOSITION MAY BE KEPT EN-
TIRELY SEPARATE FROM PRE-
SENT. TARIFF BILL.
WILL PRESENT AMENDMENTS
.ALDRlcH WILL INTRODUCE THE
CHANGES SUGGESTED BY
COMMITTEE TOMORROW.

Washington, April Ex-senator Al
drich, chairman Of the finance COM
mittee. expects to introduce tomor~
row number of committee amend
ents to the tariff bill which will in
clude nearly all deferred Matters
among them being the administrative
features of thesbill. The senate com
mittee On the Philippines today named
Beveridge, Hepburn and Johnston as
a subcommittee to frame a tariff bill
for the Islands:
Frequent utterances BY President
Taft expressing the hope that con-
|gress win hasten the passage OF the
tariff bin that business may he rs-
stored to its normal condition, may
postpone the real test Of strength over
the income tax proposition.
Sentiment of the senate is pretty
evenly divided on the matter. but
there are many differences of opin-
ion as to details Of the legislation.
Some senators believe it impractical
Bile to tax incomes Of less than $4,000.
while others believe it will be neces-
sary to go as low as $4,000. There
are others who urge that the fixing
of the minimum at any figure will
result in unfair determinations
Many congressman believe with
President Taft that the income tax
amendment should not be adopted un-
less it can be shown that it Is need
ed to produce revenues. Members OF
the finance committee declare that
the Payne bill as amended by the
committee will yield sufficient reven-
ues. If the truth of this statement
is established it will turn a number Of
votes away from the income tax
Few of the most ardent supporters
of the income tax proposition are will
ing to delay the adjournment of con-
gress in the face of the attitude as
sumed by the president and the pro-
tests that are pouring in upon con-
gress from commercial centers
against prolonged discussion of
the tariff. Informal conferences have
been held within the past few days
at which has been considered plan
to reduce the various income tax
to a separate bill, to be
considered after the tariff bill has
been enacted. II this should be fol-
lowed, that action could not be had
at the present session.
