REPEATS FORMAL WARNINGS
President Again Considers .Anti-Japa-

Washington, Feb. 3.-The Japanese
situation, in view OF the action Of the
Nevada legislature In crlticising the
president for interfering with Califor.
mia legislation and strongly denounc-
ing the Japanese, together with the
renewed efforts in the California leg
islatnre tt secure legislation, was I'M
der consideration at the White House.
The president talked with three Or
four of his callers, among them being
former Mayor Phelan of San Fran
cisco. The president repeated his
formal warnings against Irritating
legislation. He expressed the hope
that the California legislature would
not proceed further than the Drew
bill, which prevents sthe ownershinsof.
lands by aliens except under certain
conditions. The president believes
that this bill would not be offensive
to Japan, but any other legislation
more drastic would prove exceedingly
troublesome. So far the president
does not contemplate writing any fur
ther letters, feeling that he has sufi-
ciently enlightened the public as. to,
the possibilities Of the situation. The
president reiterated to his callers his
confident belief that decreased immi-
grafton brought about by Japan In.
this country will solve the question.

New Hopes That Have Como to Spain.
Red blood never shows to better ad-
vantage than when it; gets to work in
the veins of an ancient and noble race
that has fallen into sad estate. Spain
is in for a new day Of red blood. By
tunneling the Pyrenees the dons have
abolished the barrier, which has shut
out for centuries the swifter pulsations
Of life and activity in France. The
young king has accomplished this, and
1t is but the beginning Of an uplift for
a land which none can look on but to
admire. and contemplate but to mourn.
It is said of the Irishman that he is
q good fighter for every flag but his
own. The Spaniard has proved him.
self a bold and resourceful adventnrer
and empire builder in every land but
his own. Hemmed in at last. the en-
ergies of Spain are at work upon home
enterprise. Barcelona is. said now to
rival >Marseilles as a shipping center.
and II may become the capital Of the
realm. The new world owes much to
the red blood Of the Spanish c and
Americans will rejoice to know that
Spain is in a fair way to overtake her
brightest neighbors in the contest for
advancement.

As Lincoln Spoke.

TT is well to remind the generation.
which first hears of Lincoln through
latter day eulogies that there is some
thing in his career worthy of study
besides his achievements as liberator.
When he spoke words that can never
die out Of u language he, was not
talking for posterity nor delivering
studied examples Of style. Self trained,
he had no use for the .niceties Of
speech. but a rare native gift of
strength in speech. Forceful language
was on his tongue as the result Of
much reading and careful thought.
When he spoke 1t was to deliver a mes
sage from the heart.
1t is said that eloquence is logic on
fire." Logic at white, heat struck those
Lincoln gems now IN every tongue,
like: with malice toward none and
with charity for ALL" Both, read the
saine Bible and pray to the same

and feeling with the orator as does

Gibraltar, Feb. 3.-Captain E. r.
Qualtrough of the battleship Georgia
of the fleet under Rear Admiral
Sperry is under arrest on board his
W vessel and will be tried by court
martial on a charge preferred by Rear
Admiral Wainwright that he was un-s

reception given or shore a few days
ago. The captainswas. relieved from
duty tby the rear admiral Immediately
after the reception. and the executive
officer was placed in command. The
ship was brought into Gibraltar by
the executive officer.
Admiral Sperry, after considering
the report of the real admiral, decid-
ed upon a courtmartial and appointed
the members.
The captain in question denies the
charge. His defense will be that he
was undaOa heavy strain during the
last run of his vessel on account Of
rough weather; that on the day. of the
reception he had been on the bridge
since 4 o'clock in the morning; that
he did not drink anything during the
day and partook sparingly Of the, wine
served at the dinner which preceded
the reception. Fatigue was RESPONSE

This affair has been kept. quiet, but
