with Japan.
Probably the trouble in California
has caused some unwarranted discus
sion, but any State has the right to
regulate its own school affairs, and it
can pass laws preventing any alien
owning real estate. However, no State
can discriminate, as it Is violating
treaty rights existing between the two
countries
"Any State has the right to prevent
Japanese children in its schools, but
where this is done retaliation may be
expected from the country affected,
which will injure missionaries as well
as business men from this country. 1t
would also be a means of preventing a
thorough commercial understanding be-
tween the two countries.
"War, however, can be looked for
in the near future between Japan and
Russia Both countries are silently
preparing for conflict. Russia bor-
rowed 1850, 100000 France a few days
ago, and the money will be largely used
in double tracking the transsiberian
railroad. This shows how good the
Russian credit is, even after costly
war.
ssWith the transcontinental railroad
double-tracked, Russia viii be able to
get men and supplies into Manehuria
and on the east coast of the country
| much faster than is now possible.
Japan also is silently preparing for
the encounter which is certain to come.
She is slowly getting money and navy
of sufficient strength to cope with Rus
STA.
Russia also will have to rebuild
her navy before war can be declared
for no matter how many tracks are laid
across Siberia and how many men be
| massed on the coast, they can not ford
the sea. The japanese navy was
strengthened by the nine ships cap
tured from the Russians in the late war
and even with these additions Others
are being built.

SPOKANE, Washington, March 25.-
"Twenty-four frst-eiass battleships are
needed to adequately protect the Pacific
Coast, and you Western people, who
are always doing things, should not rest
till you get them. Don't take them by
piecemeal, but get them in bunch. 1t
would be the cheapest insurance of
business in the West, even though the
ships were to cost $1O,00O,00O each. The
cruise of the Atlantic fleet proved the
necessity of a navy on this coast. The
East is in favor of the plan. If there
ism It money enough in the treasury to
supply what you need, borrow it; our
credit is gilt-edge."
That is the way Rear-Admiral Rob-
ley D. Evans, retired, sized up the stu
alton ON this slope in the course of an
informal talk at complimentary lunch
con in the Hall of the Doges, where of
fcers and members of the 100000 club
of Spokane were hosts.

der, as one division might be whipped
before the other could get into action
That IS what happened to the Russians
and they lost all.
The round-the-world voyage by the
Atlantic squadron proves my conten
tion that full feet is needed on these
western waters. The cruise also dem
onstrated that a feet in the East is OF
no value to the Western coast, for be
fore its snlps get through the Strait Of
Magellan the enemy could do what il

third next year, only two ships being
provided for by Congress. This will
place Germany second, with England
first. 1t shows we need more ships. .
So far as | am acquainted | be-
iieve that the East is in favor of a Pa
cifie feet and that the two-fieet propo-
sltlon is meeting with popular approval.
To properly take care of fleet on this
coast large stations would be required
at Bremerton, Washington; San Fran
cisco, and southern point, either San
Diego OF some other bay to be selected.
Each should be equipped with dry
docks large enough to accommodate the
largest vessels in the fleet; with the ex-
eeption Of the one now being construct
ed at Bremerton, no docks now open on
the coast are large enough.
Coast defense also should be pro-
vided of sufficient size to take care of
the fleet in case of injury and repairs.
a feet being the first line of attack and
the coast defense the second. However.
forts only demonstrate where an army
can not land, while an adequate fleet
demonstrates that there is no landing
at all
Ship subsidy, in my estimation,
also should be used as means of build
ing up an effective feet of golfers and
transports in time of need. There are
now seven or eight soealled GOLFERS in
use, and two of a good design are build
ing, while appropriation for a third was
made by the last Congress. 1t has been
my experience that one collier carry
ing 5000 tons of coal can handle four
battleships, hence ten golfers would
be required for effective work with our
present feet.
Substituting would relieve the stu
alton somewhat, for not only could the
merchant ships be used as transports
and Golfers in time of war, hut as
cruisers, as were the st. Paul and st.
Louis during the Spanish American war.
Such boats can be fitted with guns
quickly, and they are of sufficient
speed to do good work in scouting and
in performing the duties of cruiser. y
While coming to Spokane Admiral
Evans met George McEvoy, then known
as /" Greasy who was an able seaman
on board the Congress and was with
Fighting Bob on cruise of the
Mediterranean in 1874 The veteran
seadog and MeEvoy, now an engineer
on the Hill line, had a pleasant chat al
Walla Walla and recalled some things
which are now matters of history.

THAW'S LAST
HOPE IS GONE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-The
door of the supreme court OF the
United States was closed today
against Harry Kendall Thaw.
At the same time the door OF
the asylum for the criminal insane
at Matteawan closed more tightly
than ever before upon him.
Justice McKenna handed down a
ruling by which the nations high

case
This was the close of one of the
most stubborn OF all the efforts
of the slayer OF Stanford White TO
gain his freedom.
The case, which has run the

publicity than any other criminal
case OF a generation, Is nearing the
