SAN FRANCISCO, April, 2.-Baron
De Constant De Rebecque, president
of the parliamentary group of
arbitration, a member of The Hague
tribunal and foremost among the
peace advocates of the world, sees
little danger Of the Japanese nation
entering upon war, not so much or
account of what the sentiments and
feelings of the Japanese people might
he, but because of the moral and
material ruin that warfare, even
victorious war, would bring upon the
land of the mikado.
The baron is not an alarmist. Quite
the contrary. He is so able and con-
slstent an advocate of peace that he
was awarded the Nobel peace prize
last year. He arrived in this city
yesterday morning and put in his day
with great energy. He delivered an
address in French at Golden Gate
Commandery hall, under the auspices
Of the Alliance Franchise, last even

of honor at a dinner given at the

sight. AS yet not an ounce of this
coal is permitted to be mined under
the much Wanted conservation laws,
and the railroad is run, and for that
matter the industries of Alaska get
their power from imported coal
much of it coming from the hated
Japan and even from China. 1t must
be rather maddening to get fuel from
mines 5000 miles away when you
could take a pick and a shovel out
back of the barn and get enough coal
in a day to run the house for a week.
1t must add a little to the cost of rail
reading to have to pay $11 or $l2
ton for japanese coal when there
is plenty along the right of way that
can be mined for SO a ton.
Yet it was not of Alaska coal that
was about to speak for the moment,
nor yet Of the eccentricities and i'm
becilities of the conservation laws
that make the hapless Alaskan send
TO Japan or Australia for the fuel that
is bedded thick in his own back yard.
What is beginning to interest the Pa
cifc Coast is the invitation which
this Orca inlet offers to foreign foe
for seeking a foothold on our coast.

ARMY AND NAVY

A crowd Of interested army, navy
and marine residents were waiting at
the gangway to welcome old friends
as they came ashore" a few minutes
after the U. S. A. T. Sherman was
made fast to the Alakea wharf yes
terday Among the first to be greeted
was the newly-made Brigadier Gen
eral George s. Anderson, who is en-
route to become the Department
Commander of the Visayas, with
headquarters at lIoilo, Philippine
Islands.
General Anderson is a great favor

Anderson will be a guest of friends

BY Willis J. Abbot.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-That
magnificent Pacific Coast of ours,
with its orange groves and its gold
mines, it's wheat belt and it's Oregon
apples, seems destined to make con-
tinued trouble for the United States.
Here is the latest problem which is to
be put up to the country as soon as
Congress reconvenes.
On the southern coast of Alaska
are two good harbors, free from ice
the year round, and because Of rivers
flowing into them, affording gateways
into the interior of that ice and noun
tain bound territory. The one with
which have to deal here is what was
called Cordova Bay, but which the
government has lately dubbed Orca
inlet. 1t is a harbor big enough to
float any two navies now on the
ocean, but entrance, being split by an
island, is scarce a half-mile wide. On
every side about the harbor-saye one
rise precipitous mountains tower
ing thousands of feet into the air On
the one side where the ground is level
it is composed of tidal marshes, inter-
sected every few hundred yards by
deep lagoons and tidal creeks and i'm
passable by troops.
TideWater Terminus.
Now, Orca inlet is the tidewater
terminus Of the Copper River and
Northwestern railroad-one of the
n-Guggenheim properties. This
road is building now into the copper
territory, but a spur only about thirty
miles long has been surveyed into the
Katella coal fields, where, as the lat
est report of the geographical survey
shows, there are close upon 5O,OOO,OOO
tons of coal Of varying quality in

two army officers who will meet
Lieutenant Troxel at Toxic are Ma
jor George H. r. Gossman, Medical
Corps, and Lieutenant Charles Bur
nett, Fourth cavalry. These three
army officers are expected to reach
the japanese capital about May 18th,
relieving a similar detail consisting
Of Captain Harry II. Patdson. Third
cavalry; Lieutenant Nicholas w.
Campanole, Eleventh infantry; Lieu
tenant James G. McIlroy, Ninth in
fantry and Lieutenant George V.
Strong, Sixth cavalry.
The former length Of this special
tour of duty has been three years.
The selection of these army Off
GERS has not been to distribute the
honor among the various branches
Of the service, but rather to name
the men deemed specially fitted for
the study OF the Japanese language.
Lieutenant Troxel, although
young man, has already made a bril-
liant and enviable reputation for
himself in the United States army.

Votes Always Bought.
An ordinary election in the Terri
tory so far as the native Hawaiian
voters are concerned, is solely and
openly matter of money. When Con-
gress, against the protest of the sub
committee of the Hawaiian Commits
sion, gave universal suffrage to the
natives, it drove the business inter-
ests to the alternative of controlling
elections by the use of money or be-
coming subject to the vagaries of a

are some splendid men among them.

use of money in Hawaiian elections
is not regarded locally as corruption,

President of the United States, and presi-
dent Of the Utica Ice Company. of Utica,
