SEVEN DREADNOUGHTS
FOR JAPANESE NAVY

1t is still premature, says the Toxic
Asahi,, to say that the japanese naval
expansion program was entirely settled
at the recent conference between the
premier and the minister of the navy.
On the contrary both the big scheme
of S50,N00 600 yen and that of 100000
600 yen which is nothing but part
of the former-still remain unsettled.
Referring to the details of the big
scheme, the same Journal says the plan
of the Japanese navy authorities is not
to build up navy strong enough to
meet the whole navy of ga certain
Power, which is the hypothetic enemy,
but force which can destroy the
force which that Power can despatch to
the sea which is the hypothetic scene
of battle. Furthermore, in compliance
with the recent progress in naval
strategy. the navy authorities desire
to form one squadron of eight battle
ships instead of six as at present, and
for this object, they have drawn up n
scheme for building seven super dread
noughts (of 10000 tons), four armored
cruisers (of 27,500 tons), eight scout
ships and forty destroyers.
The OUTLAWS are 2l0,000,000 yen for
the seven battlcships (about 30000,000
yen per ships 10S,000,000 yen for the
armored cruisers (about 100000 yen
per ship; 40,000,000 yen for the eight
scouts (about 100000 yen per ship;
and 100000 yen for the forty destroy
ers (about 100000 yen per ship)

total of about 62,s0O000, which is

labor to organize and to be exempt

before the senate Judiciary committee

Gompers declared that much of the

FRICTION DEVELOPS
BETWEEN BOARDS
Supervisors Told by Territorial
Commissioners They Will Not
Break in New Man.
From Saturday Advertiser.

With the tuberculin test of the 5000
head of cattle just under way and
with change in the position of milk
inspector made by the board of super
visors, the department of animal in
dustry of the territorial board of agri.
culture and forestry finds itself in n
predicament. The board of supervisors
has been asked by President w. NJ.
Giffard of the agriculture board to re-
tain in the service Joseph Richards,
the milk inspector just deposed by
order of the new board The board
few evenings since appointed Il. j.
Gay to the position of milk inspector.
President Gitfard has transmitted
the report of the territorial veterina-
rian on this subject, and he states that
if any further explanation is required
regarding the necessity of keeping
scientifically trained inspector on
the work, he will be glad to cooperate
with the board.
The statement of the department
having the testing of dairy cattle in
charge states that Richards has been
delegated for the past two and half
years to assist in the tuberculin test
of these herds.
"To replace him with an absolutely
inexperienced man would practically
mean to put stop to the cooperation
of the board of agriculture and board
of supervisors, the report sets forth,
''as it is beyond reason to expect us
to begin to break in new man to do
work which it will require at least one
year for him to become familiar with.
1T is required to make the test with
out cost to the owner. This arrange.
ment, which has saved the board of
supervisors a cost of testing 5000 to
5000 head of cattle annually, has
proved immensely satisfactory.
Richards has given his whole time
to study not only the diaries and herds
but the character and idiosyncracies
Of each individual milk producer with
the satisfactory result that the milk
supply Of the city and county of Ho-
nolulu may be said to be 100 per cent
better than it was two years ago.
4" therefore suggest that your board
(agrieulture) make such representa-.
tions to the board Of supervisors TO in.
sure a continuance of the services of
Richards for the tubereulin test.
The report also sets forth that there
are about hundred dniries in the
county aud it Is necessary 20 examine
about 5000 head Of cattle, which was
begun a few days ago for the fourth
time since the test was authorized.
