Welcome, Again Approves
Arbitration.

Admiral Hoihachiro Togo OF the Jap
anese navy. victor OF the battle OF
Tsushima Strait. became yesterday the
guest Of America, and will so remain for
seventeen crowded days, OF which the
first gave him an adequate foretaste OF
those to come. Having landed in New
York in the middle Of the night from a
derelict destroyer loaded with nitro
glycerine, he departed for Washington
in the middle OF the afternoon In the
front end OF a 4000-horsepower electric
motor about TO shoot the Pennsylvania
tubes under the North River.
1t was a hasty day and one we'll call
culated to show the characteristic traits
OF the visitor. II began with the clock at
midnight and found the admiral silent,
calm and unperturbed, waiting with the
single aid and the body servant who
composed his suite for the strenuous
men Of the West. who insisted that he
should have a comfortab bed on shore
away from donkey engines and baggage
handlers, even though he had 10 lose
three hours sleep To get 10 IL; and
throughout the day the active men or
| the West picked him up and carried him
| through his programme, and he went.
silent and calm. without question and
without comment.
Togo Untouched by Excitement.
AS the boarding cutter Calumet came
alongside the dereliot destroyer Seneca
shortly after midnight Thursday night,
bringing the admiral from the Lusi-
tania, Of all those who crowded the
decks Of both vessels he was the only
one untouched by excitement. He was
in the first flush OF landing on the
shores of the country that had done 80
much 10 secure TO his country the bene-
fits of the war he had done so much TO
win. and his attention was fixed on the
placing Of TIE gangplank by which he
was to cross from the Calumet TO the
Seneca.
When the plank was ready he glanced
at the sailor standing by the ropes
there was no word. no gesture. mere
glance, and the admiral crossed with
short. quick steps from one vessel 10
the other, faced for moment the bat
terry Of cameras and the flashight and
went on 10 the afterdeck.
! When he went TO the train yesterday
afternoon he must first be led through
the labvrinth of the Pennsylvania sta
ton. above ground and under ground.
w. A. Egan, the station master. ver-
table giant, was the guide. The small
admiral paced beside the giant, going
where Egan went stopping when Egan
stopped moving when Egan moved,
looking where Egan pointed and listen
ing. il is TO be supposed, when Egan
talked. But the admirars voice is yet
TO be heard in the vaulted halls or the
Pennsylvania station.
Admiral Togo's programme began
Yesterday somewhat before . o'clock
and entaiied several changes OF dress.
There was breakfast first-an American
affair. though the admiral was prepared
