BIG LINER IS DISABLED.
and Reaches Port After Stormy
Passage

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-The 1O,OO0-ton
Cunard liner Ultonia, with her star
board engine wrecked and one of her
propellers out of commission, arrived
Monday night from Mediterranean parts
after a trip which some of the officers
said was the toughest passage known
to them. When the 400 passengers
walked down the gang plank they
breathed signs of relief.
The Ultonia was three days overdue.
She sailed from Armenia, Spain, October
%, and soon afterward encountered high
seas, squalls and gales. The accident
which delayed her took place while the
vessel was in mid-ocean on November
3. On that evening the starboard en-
CINE broke down.
The passengers, most of whom were in
the steerage, were in their hunks at the
time and some of them became fright
ened. Many were accompanied by their
wives and little children. They climbed
out of their hunks and began to pray.
Several of the crew were sent down to
assure them there was no immediate
danger.

JAPANESE LIKE CRAZE
DIR. C. MCCARTHY SAYS THERE WAS
NO NIPPoNITE OBJECTION.
Mikado's Subjects Amazed and BewiI-
dered When Chicagoan's Recall Is
Announced, Says Professor.

MADISON. Wis, Nov. 9.-"The re-
call of Charles Il. Crane, minister to
China in my opinion is one of the great
est mistakes ever made in American di-
plomacy. The people in Japan were
astonished and bewildered when they
heard this news. Mr.. Crane is better
fitted for this position than any other
man | know of and he is so regarded
by the people of the far east. He
could not have said anything which was
offensive to the Japaneoc, as the Japa-
nese people certainly did not understand
it as such.
''The people in America do not under
stand how necessary it is to have just
such a business man as Mr.. Crane, who
knows the eastern people and the Ian
guages of those far countries, to repre-
sent this country at this most critical
period in oriental diplomacy. Time will
prove that his recall is q great blunder.
1t is an occurrence which none who
have studied eastern politics can under
stand"
The above statement is by Dr. Charles
Mccarthy, chief Of the legislative refer
ence department., who has just returned
from Japan, where he accompanied the
University of Wisconsin baseball team
on its successful visit TO the island en-
pire.
DR.. Mccarthy came into contact with
and was entertained by several of the
greatest statesmen in Japan at the pres
ent time. Count Okuma, Japan's great
commoner, and Baron Goto, minister of
the imperial department of communica-
tons, and who has in charge the solu
ton of the transportation problems in
ManchI | and Korea, as well as several
promine4t political scientists and news
paper men, were among those whom DR..
Mccarthy became most intimate with.
He has discussed the international re-
latlons of the two countries with these
men, and particularly the Crane affair,
though at the time it was not known
that Mr.. Cranes recall was of a per-
manent nature. Under such circum-
stances DR.. McCarthy's statement that
the things, reported to have been said
by Mr.. Crane. were not offensive to
the japanese is particularly interesting
