Subjected to an Indignity by Fresh Photosrapher-Newspapernen Tres pass Upon a Forbidden Topic.

New York, Aug. Admiral Togo left New York tday for Washington. Ills departure was quite as unusual as his midnight arrival and welcome in New York bay last night, for he left the city in the cab of a big electric en- zine drawing a heavy Pennsylvania train.
 Had Private Car on Train. Although the luxurious private car Olivette, which the government has provided for the guest while in this country, was attached to the train. the naval hero elected to sit by the eu- gineer's side and watch his operate the 1000 horsepower motor.
 Interested in Electric Engineering. T am intensely interested in your world pre- confluence in electric en- gineering and railroading," the little and 1 wish to avail myself of this op- portunity to closely observe both. Therefore. I will ride with the en- gineer.'
 Asked Engineer Many Questions. The admiral rode in the cab to ths limit of the electric zone, at Harrison. N. J. and there entered his car He concerning the electrical equipment. In fact, it was remarked that he dis played more interest in the incident of his visit than in anything previously. NO Smiles, No Browns. During his fourteen hours in the city Admiral Togo had many conflicting experiences but there was not the least change in his almost blank counten- ance. He was not seen to smile nor froWn, though he had much occasion to do the latter. He was entirely i'm passive so far as his countenauce might reveal his emotions.
 Photographer Pushed His Head.
 
 grapher for whom he had graciously consented to pose, roughly showed ais head to one side with a Don't hold your head so stiffiy, he evinced no dis pleasure. Agan, when three photo graphers became involved in a quarrel in his presence as to preference for camera position he looked on without changing his expression. even while
 Chandler Hale, third assistant sec- retary of state and official represenra- tive of the government in entertain ing the admiral, elected the photo graphers.
 Reporters Break Faith. It had been agreed by Commander Tanaguchi and MT. Hale that the news peper reporters would be permitted 10 briefly interview the admiral on his visit here but not on politics. But g soon as they had reached the Anglo French American arbitration treaties the reporters-at least some of them branched off into questions concerning Japan's attitude toward Russia and the Moroccan affairs.
 s Refused to Discuss Politics.
 Admiral Togo replied briefly that he would not discuss politics but the re- porters persisted and MT. Hale and Mr. Tanaguchi emphatically terminated the interview. The admiraps face, even graven, expression-or lack of expression.
 Hopes to Learn Much of Value fer
 Japan.
 When Admiral Togo boarded ths electric locomotive in the Pennsylviuia station he told his aide that in riding under the Hudson river in a fast and powerful motor he hoped to learn much of value for Japan. Before boarding station. followed by a large crowd. Ills was frequently applauded. Arrives at Washington. Washington Aug. 4.-Admira1 Togo and his party reached the national capital at 9.25 o'clock tonight. Owing to an incessant drizzle the crowd whicf, greeted the Japanese naval hero was small, but he was enthusiastically cheered as he passed through union station to a waiting automobile. President Taft had sent one of the white house automobiles and Admiral Togo went immediately to a hotel and retired for the night.
 Met By Presidents Aides. Major Archibald Butt and Lieuten- ant Commander Palmer, military and naval aides to the president, met the Japanese at the station. Lieutenant Commander Palmer formally welcom- ed the visitor and his party on behalf of the president. Admiral Toge briefly acknowledged the greeting through an interpreter and left the train, escorted by Major Butt and Lieutenant Com mander Palmer. The lieutenant com mander's full dress uniform contrasted strongly with the black fTock coat and sombre rainy day attire of the Jap anese naval hero.
