TOKIO, Feb. S. 1904.-From a Special
Correspondent of the New York Herald
Special to The Bee-) It took the naval vic
tories at Port Arthur to rouse Japan from
the awesome quiet with which It watched
tne fighting- preparations at the outbreak
of the war, but It was the arrival of the
two cruisers, the Nlsshin and the Kaluga,
that really alar tod the cheering. In the
reception of the men who brought out the
two new fighting ships the Japanese have
Shown how enthusiastic they can be when
they are properly stirred up.
It was a fine run, and no doubt about It,
and thero were some exciting Incidents dur
ing It, but In the main It was only a plain
case of good sailor work with a fortunate
ending. Aa Captain lea, who commanded
the NUshln, says. "We only did our duty."
Tou wouldn't exactly pick 'Captain Lea
cut for a farmer, hut be declares he was
actually following the plow about his place
In England when he got the word that
farted Mm out here. He had only half an
hour to catch his trsin. and as he ran for It
he shouted to the foreman to sell the
twenty-eight kelfers and the bull calf, and
How, after all this time and excitement, he
haa no Idea whether the man did It or not.
He Is the sort of man In arpearsnee
whom you would be most likely to choose
for such an undertaking short and stocky,
With twinkling blue eyes and a ready smile;
a neck that rises like a column out of a
pair of aolld shoulders Is crowned by a
head half an Inch longer from the point of
the lower Jaw to the back than from the
top of the forehead to the back. Tt Is that
Saw which makes you love r-.'m on stsht.
When he starts out to do anything be rare,
ful not to get In his way If you wish to
avoid trouble.
Itnly Pauses Delay.
When the ships cleared from Oenoa there
a a little delay before they got away, the
Italian government having reconsidered Its
willingness to let them go. The Russians
had been protesting, and an officer came
aboard the Nlsshin to get the bill of health
that had been given to Captain I.ea. The
captain Knew that without that document
ho could not get past flues.
It was In his coat pocket. He buttoned
up the coat and politely assured the Italian
official that he was very sorry that It had
been lost. He could not possibly And It.
The Italian was very sorry, too, but he
went away without the precious document.
Then the Nlsshin lifted anchor and started
out.
It happened, however, that one of the
Italian stokers had found a comfortable
place to snoose behind one of ,the con
densers. The first revolution of the engines
ent a Jet of steam out of the condenser
that burned the hands of the sleeping
stoker and woke him with a yell. In a
econd the entire engine room forco was
piling up the ladders and not a man was
left at his post. The captain had set his
Indicators on the bridge, one at full steam
ahead and the other at full speed astern,
In order to swing around the ftasuga, whloh
was still at anchor. Hut he got no response
and saw Tils ship drifting rapidly down, on
Its mate. Be he had to let go the anchor
again and send down to find out what was
the matter.
The deck force was all Kngllsh and the
engine room hands were all Italians, , none
f whom spoke English. None of the Eng.
llshmen spoke Italian. The bridge Indi
cators were In English, but the correspond
ing signals In the engine room were In
Italian. It was a poor means of holding
the sort of conversation needed to explain
the difficulty. In fact, the captain did not
get It explained until he had found an Eng
lishman who could speak a little Italian.
Also he got a couple more firemen who
could speak a little English, and with these
three Interpreters he came on.
It was coal and run all the way out, nnd
there was no Incident to furnish further
excitement, although they were a little
nervous when they were passing the Rus
sian squadron, which Is now slowly going
home again because it couldn't run as fast
as they could.
Days of Suspense.
The most interesting pnrt of their voyage
was that from Slnwipore up. The situation
was so critical wJrn they left Singapore
in the early days of this month that they
were ordered to go outside of Formosa aud
not to stop at Hong Kong, but to come'
straightway to Yokosuka, the big naval
station near Yokohama,
The captain drd not know how much coal
they had. The limits of conversation with
the chief engineer prevented him from find
ing out exactly what the coal conaumptlon
per day was, and he had the stiff winds of
the northwest monsoon to meet In the
China sea. So he came along with only a
part of the boilers steaming and just firs
enough under the others to keep the water
warm, ready In case of an emergency.
They had no dealro whatever to meet any
of the Russian squadron, and they knew
how easy It would be for the Russians to
figure out exactly where they were at any
time.. The only thing to do was to run the
best they could. As soon aa they got out
of the rough water Captain Lea sent for
his chief engineer and made signals to Mm
which that gentleman could not help un
derstanding. "We had something to lose," said the cap
tain. In telling about It. "Our government
had cut us adrift. They cancelled our com
missions before we left Genoa, because they
were afraid we might get them Into some
International complications. (He and Cap
tain Paynter of the Kasuga were on the re
tired Hot of the British navy.)
"If the Russians got us, our government
wouldn't do a thing for us. and It meant at
least a long time In Siberia before the Jap
anese could gtt to us. I didn't want any of
that, so I Just told the old chief to Jam
her. and I made him a picture of the Rus
sian prison.
"But It didn't do much good. and. In
stead of thundering In at eighteen knots,
which we ought to have done, we came
thumping In at fifteen."
Series of Fetes.
From the time they reached the limits
of the Yokosuka station, however, things
changed. Their troubles were over. A
guard of torpedo boats escorted the two
ships up to the station, and there were
bands and banners. Since that It has been
a grand round of entertainments, bannuets
and receptions. Committees had been busy
for weeks malting arrangements, and all
Japan was waiting eagerly to .see the men
who brought out the two ships.
The fact that the navy, crippled as It
was by the loss of the big first-class bat
tleship Shlklshlma; which Is still In dock
at Baseho rennlrlng the damage done In
maneuvering, had already done up the Rus
sian fleet, did-not In the least Impair the
enthusiasm of the Japanese abortt the new
arrivals. The new ships were not needed.
but they might have been, and the people
were Just as glad to see them, or 'ratber

will have no chance to see the ships them
selves for some time, and no one except the
naval authorities has been permitted to get

' Yokohama had the first chance at the
crews of the two cruisers. ' There was a
parade and a great rarden party In the
public park, with addresses and flreworke,
and a banquet In the evening. iThe city was

era and at night there were flecks of lanterns.
Decorated by Eaapcror.
The next day the men came up to Toklo.
Here It was all done over again. But more
than that, they were received that la, the
captains were by the emperor himself, who
expressed Ms personal appreciation of their
service to his country and gave them the
Order ef the Rising Sun.
For the men of the crewa there were all
kinds of things doing In Hlblya park. There
was a big wrestling bout, at which the
most celebrated wrestler In Japan did
tunts, and there was Juggling of the most
wonderful kind, with very gay daylight
fireworks during the afternoon. At night
the park was ablate with lanterns and
there was a. gorgeous display of fireworks.
That evening there was a banquet given
by the mayor of Toklo. In the gladness of
his heart he had Invited the men of the
crews, as well as the officers, but the csp-
alns had Indicated their disapproval of
that, so another entertainment was pro-
Ided for the sallormen. The mayors of
many other Japanese cities were present
at the banquet and Invitations to the offi
cers of the two ships to visit other places
In Japan came In In showers. Everv citv
sent some sort of token of recognition of
the service rendered to Japan.
Fortunately for the officers, they are all
under contract to go back home in a few
days, 'so that they will escape the hard
penalty of too much such generous hospitality.
From Toklo they all went up to Nlkko,
and there they did have a time. The rond
from the station to their hotel was lined
by double ranks, waving lanterns and bands
played and crowds cheered and shouted
Banzai I"
Admitted to Sacred Mysteries.
Then a remarkable thing happened. The
two captains were taken to the great tem
ple, where the high priest took them into
the most sacred chambers, Into soma of
which only the emperor himself may go.
No other foreigner has ever been In them
and most of the priests themselves are not
permitted to enter these sacred rooms.
From Nikko they came back to Toklo,
where today they all had audience with the
emperor again,- and he distributed among
all the officers most magnificent gifts.
Those to the two captains Included a pair
of beautiful silver vases executed by the
royal workmen and of a pattern which haa
never been seen out of Japan. Both- bear
the royal ccst in gold. There was also for
each captain a beautiful old gold lacquer
box of great value.
Meantime gifts of all sorts have been
pouring In for them from cities to which
they cannot go. accompanied by yards of
addresses setting forth In Japanese elo
quence the great things they have done
Iai Nippon.
"Why," said Captain Lea, "I've enough
to fill the baggage room of the hotel already
and there is no telling when it will stop.
If we d been emperors fourteen times over
we could not have had a finer reception
and all we did was our duty. We're not
half through yet, either," and he read off
a list of places where they have promised
to go.
There surely Is no doubt about the grati
tude of Japan te the men of the Nlsshin

VAN HORNE TALKS RAILROADS
Canadian Hannarer Refers Part leu.
' larly to Conatrnetlon of New
Lines In Philippines.
(Copyright, 1904. by New Tork Herald Co.)
WASHINGTON, March !. (New Tork
Herald Service Special to The Bee.) The
question of the construction of railroads In
the Philippines Is being discussed by high
railroad officials. Recently Secretary of
War Taft held a long conference with Sir
William Van Home, chairman of the, Board
of Directors of the Canadian Paciflo rail
road and president of the Cuba company,
which has been Instrumental In developing
Industries throughout the eastern end of
Cuba.
Sir William Home pointed out the simi
larity of conditions governing the con
struction of railroads In Cuba and the
Philippines. In both instances the sus
ceptibilities of the Inhabitants played an
Important part.
Later, to a reporter, Sir William saldi
"The success with which we have met In
Cuba has been due largely to the methods
employed In dealing with the native In
habitants. If we had been guided by a
short-sighted policy of chipping oft a little
here and a little there, at the expense of
the natives, we should have failed. Seeds
would have been planted which would have
borne bitter fruit for generations. We en
deavored to obtain the confidence of the
natives as the very basis of our operations.
We employed only native' labor In con
structing our 400 miles of railroad and we
awarded no building contracts. To have
done so would have been suicidal.
"The success of the policy which we pur
sued In Cuba leads me to the belief that
the same policy must be pursued In the
Philippines If the final object of the govern
ment, to educate the Filipinos In respect
for and confidence In Americans, and, at
the same time, to obtain the Industrial
development, haa three alternatives. It
either could build the railroads with Its
own forces or It could endow with sufficient
power some company whose interests would
be the same as the government's Interests,
aiming te the permanency ef such a corpor
ation. "The annual cost to tbV government of
providing for 800 miles of railroad would
be no more than the annual cost of main
taining a single regiment. If by the con
struction of railroads the necessity of a
standing army should be removed and
native constabulary established, the In
estimable advantage is apparent"
CRIME IS DUE TO SUGGESTION
Smeh Tfceerr Advanced Sir President

(Copyright, 1904, by New Tork Herald Co.)
NEW YORK, March 19. (New York Her
aid Service Special to The Bee.) In a re
cent lecture before the Patrla club at the
Hotel Savoy, this city, Henry Hopkins,
president of Williams college, advanced the
opinion that the startling increase In crime
and criminal tendencies among all classes Is
due to semi-conscious suggestions from
various causes. He named the vulgarity of
newspapers, debased theaters, Impure Uteri
ture and divorces as causea He said:
The foundation ef the personal character
of our national life Is seriously threatened
oy ugiy reatures or tne present time. There
is abundant evidence of an alarming in
crease In crime of every sort.
But most disheartening and startling of
an is me lawless spirit in towns and cltlee,
where bave grown up crowds of hoodlums,
where there is an Increasing conulatlon
which break out Into reckless violence at
times or strikes ana lockouts. Of the same

One of the most potent most sMoultioue.
most constantly operative cause la the vast
volume or criminal sugsestion flowing In
upon the public mind through vsrious
means, but especially through the public
press. In the dally recital of criminal ac
tions to the average newspaper instruction
In crime has become a fine art. The reader
la taught both how to perform the crime
and how to avoid punishment.
It Is demonstrable that a very consider
able part of the crime :hat threatens the
social latino Is attributable to suasenuoa la
the public prints. In confirmation of this I
could auote many direct testimonies from

CHARITY PROPERLY APPLIED
aaaaasnsannei
Omaha Benevolence Poorly Administered
Under Present Condition,
CO-OPERATION AN ABSOLUTE ESSENTIAL
Rev. A. W. Clark Writes of tne Mis
directed Energy of Local Re
lief Societies nnd Chari
table Organisations.
In the March number of International
Work, devoted to the cause of charity and
philanthropy, Rev. A. W. Clark of this city
writes as follows under the heading of
Associated Charities:"
"The time has come In the evolution of
society when we can discuss charity from
the sclent iflo point of view. In fact tome
of the most recent writers speak of the
'science of charity.' Regular phenomena
appear In the progress of charity worn.
Special cases are carefully studied and cer
tain results follow with perfect regularity.
I sm aware that much of popular senti
ment is against scientific or organized
charity, simply because this subject is not
well understood by the public. Scientific
charity la not a cold, heartless propotMen.
It la bringing to bear the best methods With
a view to the accomplishment of the best
results on behalf of the needy.
"When particular cases of need arise tt
often happens that five or six charity
workers In a community like Omaha will
render assistance without conference with
each other, and without knowledge of what
the other has done. If five or six phy
sicians should treat a patient In thla hap
hazard way It would universally be de
clared criminal. It Is none the less criminal
to carry on charity work in such a mannar.
Problems of Charity.
"These problems In every community are
exceedingly complex and difficult of analy
sis. Kach community has to deal with
cases of destitution, the Insane, feeble
minded, epileptics, blind, deaf mutes, and
with the sick and crippled. Some of the
sick must be taken to hospitals, others
treated in their homes, visited by repre
sentatives of the Visiting Nurses' associa
tion, have medicines and other necessities
contributed during the sickness. It Is found
that In many of these cases of sickness the
loss of income from labor Involves the
bringing of other members of the family
Into positions of dependence requiring char
ltable relief. In every community there
are families who because of misfortune re
quire relief with food, fuel and clothing In
their homes. Many cases of appeal come
from homeless and dependent children,
from strangers who drop Into the city, and
are penniless; from street beggars and
from tramps going from house to house.
These and other, forms of appeal In a com
munity show to us the complexity of the
problems with which we have to deal, and
without a central bureau of information,
careful registration, thorough Investigation
and careful study of each particular case,
It Is Impossible to arrive at a wise de
cision. This is Just what is proposed by
sssoclated charities.
"It Is probably safe to say that the ma-
lorltv of Deonle contribute to the relief of
distress out of a mere sentiment, and that
more than half of this Is an Injury rather
than a benefit. We shall never understand
the problems of charity until we recognise
that Justice and mercy have met together
In the relief of distress. Scientific charity
provides the center which is necessary In
order to administer Justice at the same
time mercy Is shown by the giving of re
lief T believe that every true case of char
ItaBle relief la based upon this original
principle, and aa a result of it anyone who
receives charity should not be humiliated
and ashamed of taking what Is given.- The
false notions in regard to it ought to be
Ainiled both from the minds of tne recipi
enta and of the givers. When that shall be
Anne there will be greater happiness In giv
ing, and no humiliation In receiving?. The
associated charity principle is a necessity
in order to educate the publio upon these
very Important matters.
Co-operation n Necessity.
The only possible way for the co-opera.
tten of the charitable agencies of a commu
nity Is by the establishment of a center of
information and registration as proposea
by associated charities. No other city the
tza of Omaha In America can be round
without such an organisation. Daring tne
last few years there has been no system in
tjie charity work, and It has been possible
for Individuals to receive aid from half a
dossn sources without these givers having
knowledge of what others had done, in
he midst of such a loose arrangement It
ts fslr to suppose that more than half the
mnnev contributed for charity In re
lieving distress has been worse man
wasted. The effect Me been to pau
perise. Every hospital In the city, every
private association for relief, as well as
the county agency, in relieving tne poor,
would be Immensely helped by the estab
lishment and maintenance of such a center.
"It Is astonishing how many people in
sist upon the old msthod of doling .out
gifts" of money, food, etc, to the poor
without Investigation. The tact la that
n,n.t nennle shirk the responsibility of
doing what is most necessary to be done.
They are either too lary, too selfish, or
too much occupied with other duties. Any
one who makes application for assistance
is in a position requiring careful consider
ation of the other members of the com
muntty. The effort should be made at
ones to investigate the cause leading te
(Mi necessity for aid. It will often be
found thai the old adage Is true. 'Not
alms, but a friend. Is needed.' This In
dividual In distress Is not so much in
need of money or food, as a personal touch
of a friend. Advloe Is necessary, and
careful study of the question may deter
mine the kind of assistance that will help
the Individual to a position of Inde
pendence, The ordinary method pursued
ts to give temporary relief and afterwards
repeat the temporary relief, and the case
grows worse. Now that the way ts open
In connection with an International Christian
Institute to establish the charity organisa
tion center. I earnestly hope that all
friends of charity will unite In making this
an efficient center for the good of the
entire community."
