Kvory republican on the electoral

The last week of the campaign may

. Chairman Jlutlcr Is having a hard
time In trying to make the populists be
lieve that they have not been sold ,
sealed and delivered over .to the llryan
democrats. "Don't be discouraged , "
Bays Hnller. lint they are discouraged.
The three proposed amendments relat
ing to the constitution of the supreme
and district courts and the conduct of
Jury trials , are all equally In the Interest
of true economy of time anil money , and
should be adopted by mi overwhelming
popular vote.
One of the best men on the republican
ticket Is Levl Cox. Although he has
never filled a public olllce Mr. Cox Is an
Intelligent business man and can be de
pended on to represent the business In
terests of this city and county faithfully
and ctllclentty.
The enthusiasm that has attended
the meetings of Speaker Heed on his
trip through the west goes to show that
the popularityof the man from Maine
In this section of the country has only
been Increased by the good work he Is
doing for the republican cause.
Mr. llryan's pretends to stand for the
secrecy of the ballot and election re
form , while Mr. llryan's paper Is op
posing the voting machine ) the most
perfect device yet produced for In
suring the secrecy of the ballot and the
accuracy and , honesty of the count.
In reporting sound money meetings In
Kentucky now , the press agents deem
It necessary to conclude their accounts
"No disorder occurred. " In other
words , outbreaks by lawless Hryanltes
have become so common in that state
that the absence of violence requires
special mention.
Uussla Is said to be holding back
with Its wheat. If so , it is because
tlie. Hnsslan wheat brokers are con
vinced that prices will go still higher.
It is conclusive proof that the Teceut
spurt In wheat was not a temporary
phenomenon , but'a ' permanent gain that
will be maintained.
Clans Slevers , who Is a candidate for
representative on the republican legis
lative ticket , Is a man of unimpeachable
Integrity whom The Hoe can recommend
to the support of all classes of our

Tlio constitutional amendments sub
mitted for ratification of the voters at
the coming election are Intended to
obviate the necessity for and save the
heavy expense of a constitutional con
vention. Against none of these can any
serious objection be urged. Their adop
tion will serve to bring the constitution
Into better conformity with changed
.conditions. They propose no experi

trend of modern constitutional develop ,

The Woo Is nHked whether Germany
a bounty on sugar. Also regard-
lug Mr. Bryan's record "ns to the en
couragement of the beet mignr Industry
In tills country. " Germany pnys an ex
port bounty on boot sugar produced In
i that country of about one-third of a
cunt a pound. It has always been the
policy of the German Rovernmeiit to encourage -
courage the boot sugar Industry and In
this wny It him boon built up to very
large proportions. The latest legislation
relating to this Interest went Into effect
on the first of last .Tune. The stimulus
given to beet ngar production In Ger
many by this government aid and pro
tection has enabled the Germans to ex
port beet auinr at prices that defy com
petition. On sugar consumed In Ger
many there Is a duty of about U4 cents
a pound.
Mr. Ilrynu hns never done anything to
encourage the beet sugar Indnsffy In
this country. On the contrary , ids course
lias been hostile to Unit Industry. In n
speech In the house of representatives
on March 10 , JS'.tt , Mr. llryau was asked
by Mr. Verklns of Iowa : "Are yon to
be understood as opposed to a state or
national protection to be extended to
the beet sugtir Industry ? " Mr. Ilryan's
reply was : "I am , most assuredly. "
Further on In the same speech Mr.
Bryan said : "I stated that I wafl not
In favor of the sugar bounty. I was op
posed to its being given In my own
state ; was In favor of Its being repealed
In my own state ; and when the repre
sentative of that Industry was here the
other day I told him that he could rely
upon me to vote for the repeal of tile
bounty on sugar at every stage In com
mittee or house. " Mr. Itrynn faithfully
observed this pledge and the national
bounty to the beet sugar producers of
the country was repealed.
When In congress Mr. Itrynn showed
himself to be hostile not only to the
beet sugar industry , but to all American
Industries. He was the most voluble
and one of the most radical of the op
ponents of protection in that body. Mr.
Itryan lias not changed in tills respect.
He Is jtwt as hostile to protection now
as he was while In congress and If he
should be elected president his Influence
and his veto would be iiseil to defeat
any legislation for protecting American
Industries and the labor employed In
them.
.1 H'OWJ WITH MM'M/J
Under our political system the sole
test of party loyalty Is the support of
Its cardinal principles as enunciated in
its national platforms and of the can
didates on its national ticket. Tills year
we have had , for the llrst time , a new
departure. Men calling themselves re
publicans declare they can not con
scientiously endorse the national plat
form , and for that reason will not sup
port the republican national ticket.
Granting that these sliver republicans
honestly believe that Itryuii represents
their Idea of the financial policy , the test
of their sincerity will come when they
cast their ballots for the state and
legislative tickets. If there Is any re
publicanism In them they vertalnly have
no grounds for bolting the slate ticket
or the county ticket. If , on the other
hand , they Intend to vote the whole
popocratic ticket from top to bottom
their pretense of still being republicans
Is a sham.
When wo say this we do not impugn
the motives of these men or question
their right to vote their honest convic
tions. We realize that many of the silver
republicans are Impelled by no selfish
or unworthy motive. On the other hand
there are those who are playing ostrich.
Having been defeated In republican con
ventions or failed in republican pri
maries , they have gone over bag
and baggage to the popocrats and have
been rewarded either in nominations ,
promises of patronage or actual cash.
This despicable class imagine that they
can fool the people by pretending still
to be republicans. They have the sub
lime cheek to assert that the republican
party has left them and that they repre
sent all that Is left of the republican
party. From this class republicans ex
pect no consistency. They may be re
lied on to swallow the whole popocratic
menagerie without wincing.
WHAT IT MR.\XS.
Kverybody recognizes the momentous
Importance of the election thill will be
hehl one week from today. It Is not
too much to sny that no presidential
election In our history involved more
that is vital to the interests and the
welfare of the American people. The
great stake Is the national honor , finan
cial soundness , business security and
the general prosperity. The result of
next Tuesday's election will determine
whether the country Is to have a new
era progress and move forward to
the achievement of a higher measure
of prosperity than it has ever known ,
or Is to suffer a convulsion mom de
structive and disastrous than any na
tion has over experienced In modern
times.
Some of the free silver organs endeavor
to allay apprehension by urging Unit In
the event of the election of Mr. lirynn
there will be no contraction of thu cur
rency , but on the contrary an increase ;
that the dollar will not be cheapened ,
but will be the same dollar then ns
now ; that prices will change very gradu
ally and that no one will ever bo directly
cognizant of a changed standard. Ono
free sliver organ says that If we should
have free coinage "the general tone of
tilings will be changed and everything
will assume an Improving tendency In
stead of tlie reverse. In this wny only
will the people ever bo cognizant of a
change of standard certainly they never
will from the money they handle. "
This view Is opposed by all the teach
ing of history and experience. It Is a
theory for which there Is not a single
substantial support. It will not bo ac
cepted by any one acquainted with the
practical operations of business. No
rational man can doubt that a change
from the existing monetary standard to
the silver standard would produce a
violent financial anil business disturb
ance. A complete readjustment to new
conditions would be necessary and tills
could not bo accomplished without more
or less disorder. This Is HO obvious Unit
it would seem no uiuu .of ordinary In
telligence cnn fall to see It. In the first
place nil debts due would be pressed for
collection and this would force thou
sands of merchants and manufacturers
to suspend business. Those whoso
business depends upon their ability to
use tlielr credlt-and this la the case
with a majority of business men would
find themselves seriously embarrassed
and many of them would bo driven to
the wall. In Mich a state of nlTnlrs many
wage earners now nt work would be
thrown out of employment , greatly
augmenting the already large army of
the Idle. The prevailing discontent Is
trilling In comparison with what would
follow the change to a silver basis.
The success of the free silver cause
would mean a violent convulsion , from
which the laboring men and the pro
ducers would be the chief sufferers , and
nobody cnn say how long this would
last. The free silver advocates propose
an experiment that would overturn all
existing conditions and they promise
that the change would have re.sulta
which all experience shows to bo Im
possible. On the other hand , republican
success means a peaceful restoration of
prosperity to all classes of the people
through putting the Industries Into op
eration and creating a market for labor.
The outlook for republican victory In
tlie country Is most favorable. Indeed ,
It can confidently bo said to be assured.
Hut the friends of sound money should
not abate their zeal In the closing days
of the campaign. Tlie defeat of tlie free
silver heresy cannot bo too decisive.
The free silver propaganda will not bo
silenced If defeated by only a narrow
margin. That would not discourage tlie
nllver trust. What Is needed , as Speaker
Ueed truly paid , Is a transcendaut and
overwhelming honest money triumph.
The last week of the campaign should
bo marked by an onset on the part of
the friends of sound money that will be
Irresistible.

When the democrats and populists .of
Douglas county agrrod upon a fusion of
their legislative and county tickets. It
was agreed by both sides to the com
pact that all the candidates on the
ticket should have tlie undivided sup
port of the combined forces. The demo
crats were conceded the lion's share In
the deal. Hut for all that they showed
tlielr cloven hoof almost as soon as the
convention had adjourned.
Tlie democrats had been given two
senators , while the populists hail to bo
content with one. Kvorybody knows
that the populist candidate , John .Tcff-
coat , barring his peculiar views on
finance , Is in every way tlie superior of
his associates. He Is not only a clean
man , above the suspicion of venality ,
but Is also an old soldier , who would
be entitled to special recognition for his
army record. Hut Mr. .leifcoat has
been snubbed by the democratic cam
paign committee of which one of his
associates on the senatorial ticket Is the
chairman , .leffcoat is a better talker
tlmn Howell and can double discount
Ransom on the silver question , but lie
has been purposely kept In the back
ground. It Is an open secret that Jeff-
coat Is being traded off In advance by
the democrats for their pets , and that ,
too , at tlie beck of corporations , who
have no use for a man who can not be
tampered with.
Tlie same treatment Is being accorded
the other populist candidates on the
local fusion tickets. It Is tlie kind effusion

Referring to some recent manlfe.sta-
tlons of the spirit and temper of the free
silver party , the Brooklyn Hagle , a dem
ocratic paper of the highest standard ,
contrasts the two parties. It says that
on the side of Bryan are the forces of
discontent and violence. They want a
change in the existing order of things
and they are not particular as to how
that change is brought about. Con
trasted with this reckless spirit , observes
the Knglo , Is the sturdiness with which
republicanism is standing out for law
and order , and for the maintenance of
our Institutions against those who would
break them down. All observant cit
izens must see this. From the very out
set of the free silver campaign there has
been a studied effort to create and fos
ter class hatred. Candidate Itryan has
constantly addressed himself to this
spirit , while Chairman .Tones , Tilhnnn
and others have followed the example.
1'jinployes have been urged to distrust
their employers , the poor are told that
the rich are their enemies , labor is urged
to make war on capital. Tlie appeals
of tlie free silver leaders are not made
to the reason and the patriotism of tlie
people , but to their passions and preju
dices , the tendency of which Is to arouse
thi ) spirit of violence.
The republican campaign has been
conducted on a wholly different basis.
It has appealed to thu Intelligence and
integrity of the people and to their
respect for liny and order. No word can
be found in any speech of the republican
standard bearer In this campaign ad
dressed to passion or prejudice. He has
talked to men of every vocation and to
all his views have been expressed with
absolute freedom from anything calcu
lated to cause a feeling of class antagon
ism. Indeed , lie has deprecated every
thing of tills kind. No republican leader
has appealed to popular passion or preju
dice , because the republican party relics
for success upon the enlightened Judg
ment , the Innate honesty and thu patri
otism of the people. There Is , Indeed ,
a most marked and significant difference
between thu leading parties In this con
test.
Two years ago Mr. Bryan's paper
sold out Mr. Bryan's candidate for gov
ernor by disposing of two columns of
editorial space dally to the republican
committee for slandering and vilifying
Governor Ilolcomb. In order to relieve
Mr. Bryan from the awkwardness of
the situation a. sham Injunction suit
was rigged up to restrain the paper
from violating its agreement with the
republicans. This alleged Injunction
was , however , never perfected and the
World-Herald continued to print the
abuse of Governor Ilolcomb , volun
tarily and with Mr , Bryan's knowledge
nnil oonsriit. Tlie question Is , Can the
man who ptrfsllos such a course of
duplicity wlt llfj' candidate he Is sup
posed to bo supporting bo trusted when
ho asks the ( u'Kille to make htm presi
dent of the unilod States ?
Our iovoluflrmry { | forefathers , whom
the free sllve pijess Is nt present hold
ing up to the admiring gaze of Its read
ers as savior ' 'of a nation from the
deadly grasp.nf.lSiiKland , did undoubt
edly perfornr"thnt meritorious service.
But they cotifdiot make the people
accept their'1'di < preelaled continental
ncrlp In payuio'nl of debts. Only the
working classes , , nud the poor , who
could not choose , would accept It on any
terms , even In face of laws providing a
penalty for refusing It. The nation had
to go back to a sound money basis. And
who suffered most from the disastrous
experiment ? Who but the worklngmen
ami the poor , on whom the whole vol
ume of debased currency had been un
loaded ? The principles of national
finance have not materially changed In
thu hundred years that have passed
since that day.
The captain of one of the local com
panies of the Nebrnskiu National Guard
has offered agold piece as a prize
for tlie member who secures the largest
number of new recruits before the end
of the year. Here Is another outrage
against which our free silver friends
ought to protest. Demoralizing the
militia with prizes of gold , Instead of
silver. If the prize had been made to
consist of five- silver dollars of the
mintage of 1S7IJ , or any subsequent
year , there could bo no objections. But
when gold Is lie'ld up ns an Incentive to
spur on recruiting officers and the
volume of circulating medium of the
country thereby contracted no true
sllverlte can hold his indignant
tongue.
Bryan Is advising workingmcn to
wear MeKlnley'biittons and talk Me-
Klnley , but to vote for him. In plain
words , lie advises them to practice
duplicity and be as two-faced as the
mythical god. But then Bryan has
been preaching one thing and practic
ing another so Jong that there Is little
wonder he sees nothing wrong In
others doing the same thing. Should
he by accident become president he
would doubtless assert that all his talks
during tlie campaign was for effect
only and does not count , any more
than the McKlnley buttons which he
wants Bryan n\en to wear.
There Is llt\le comfort for the pope
crats In thu "tremendous and universal
Increase In rtfg'istratlou. Their party
stands for ngl.tjntlon and the overturning
of tried and approved Institutions. Men
who desire these things need no urging
to go to the polls. ' It Is the vast reserve
force of the republican party , which is
seldom aroused to action but which Is
now swelling he registration lists and
preparing to do Itfj duty on election day.

Can the prodigious outcries of virtuous

SII.VKll HUFKIANS IN KK.NTUCICY.
Kansas City Star ( dcm , ) : The Insult
offered to Secretary Carlisle nt Covlngton
ought to hsvo the effect of removing Ken
tucky from the list of doubtful state * and
placing It In the republican column.
Minneapolis Journal ( rep. ) : Down In Ken
tucky the friends of Uryan nhowcd thu
stuff they arc inado of and their ready ab
sorption nf his teaching of lawlessness by
grossly Insulting Secretary Carlisle while
ho was speaking at Covlngton.
Chicago Chronlclo ( dcm. ) : It Is not to bo
Interpreted as directed against Mr. Cnrllslo
personally , The ruffians who were guilty of
putting this Ineffaceable stain on the Ameri
can nnmo would have played the coward
and the blackguard against nny other man
pointed out by their Instigators.
Globe-Democrat ( rep. ) : The toughs In St.
Louis and Omaha who attempted to howl
down Uourko-Cockran received their Inspira
tion from the same source as the cowardly
riiinnns who assaulted Secretary Carlisle , the
second officer In the government la dignity
and Influence , and wcro working In the
BIUIIO Interest. Those outrage * will bring
tens of thousands of new votes to the
republican ticket.
Chicago Tribune ( rep. ) : Wo err greatly
If that Insult bo not magnificently avenged ,
Kentucklans nro not wont to brook meekly
such an outrage. It will give birth to thou
sands of votes for honest money , which will
bo deposited In the ballot box In repudiation
of this Covlngton Infamy. It should result
In burying out of sight the last remnant of
hope popocrats might have of carrying that
state for Ilrynn and silver and thuggery.
Chicago Record ( hid. ) : The Insult to Secretary
rotary Carlisle at Covlngton Is cause for
humiliation. It was a disgrace not only to
those who actually committed the offense ,
but as well to the city hi which such an
affair was possible without effective Inter
ference from tbo authorities , for the disturbance -
anco continued some tlmo before It was
stopped by officers , and then none of tbo
offenders were arrested nnd held for prose
cution , as the'y should have been for so
serious a breach of tbo pence.
Chicago Times-Herald ( rep. ) : The Ameri
can people have an Inborn burly love of fair
play to an opponent , and even In this turbu
lent campaign they have made haste on
several occasions to protest their abhorrence
of political rowdyism. Hut the Covlngton
outrage so far surpasses In savagery any
thing that has hitherto disgraced the can
vass that ordinary terms of denunciation
seem Inadequate to express the deep dis
gust and horror It has created. In the pcr-
son of the secretary of the treasury every
American citizen was Insulted.
Louisville Courier-Journal ( dem. ) : The
tlmo has arrived when that uatlencc , so
long tried , has ceased to bo a virtue.
Kentucky Is a civilized ntato , and her people
do not propcso to further submit to the
barbarous orgies of political bandits. Their
outrages must stop. We do not speak empty
words , but wo speak the will of an aroused
and Indignant people , who are able to vindi
cate tbolr right to self-government and to
protect society from lawlessness In high
places as well as low. Let ns bo understood
fully. This Covlngton outrage , deliberately
planned ns It was , cannot bq glossed over
and dismissed as the act of unknown hood
lums. The prime responsibility for It rests
uoon the very leaders of the Hryan causo.
It Is the fruit of their Intolerance and
violence , their studied appeals to the baser
passions , their stimulation to communism ,
their Inflammatory Instigation to partisan
madness and class hatred.
Now York Times ( dcm. ) : No decent
American can read without a thrill of
patriotic shame that Secretary Carlisle was
received with jeers and Insults on his ap-
pcaranco in his own homo to address his
fellow citizens on tbo Issues of this cam

There Is none , also , who keeps the discus
sion of public questions upon a higher piano ,
who lltts It further above personality and
partisanship ami gives loss excuse for per
sonal resentment. That such a man should

ance , and that the assault should not have

ejection cf. the offenders Is a disgrace to
Covlngton. Inasmuch as It was symptomatic
of the wbolo Bryan campaign , It Is not

This Is the state of' Abraham Lincoln. '
His name Is Us greatest glory In the past.
His grave Is In Its soil , being a monument
of all that Is mast patriotic , wisest and
noblest In American manhood. I know him
well. I loved him , and was bis faithful
adherent , and It Is tbo pride of my life to
have possessed his personal friendship. Let
mo tell you that it makes my blood boll to
witness thf scandalous game the ropudlators
and tbo incltcre of class hatred In this cam
paign Play with bis name In claiming him
as tholr spiritual ally. I will glvo you an
example. They are circulating among the
people a spurious quotation , purporting to
be from sumo speech or message of Abraham
Lincoln. It Is this :
"As a result of the war , corporations have
been enthroned and an era of corruption
In high places will follow and tbo money
power of the country will endeavor to pro
long Its run by working upon the prejudice
of the pcopla until all wealth Is aggregated
In a few hands and tbo republic Is de
stroyed. I feel at this moment moro anx-
loty for the safety of my country than over
before , even In the midst of war. God grunt
that my suspicions may prove groundless. "
I have tbo authority of bis two private
secretaries , Hay and NIcholay , who were
almost constantly In tbo presence of Abra
ham Lincoln during his presidency until the
day of his death , and who have scanned
every word wrote during that period and
every report made of his utterances , for say
ing that this quotation Is false ; that Mr.
Lincoln never said or wrote anything In tbo
least resembling It.
Mr. Uryan goes about the country quoting
from ono of the messages of Abraham Lin
coln this sentence :
"Labor U prior to and Independent of cap
ital ; capital Is only the fruit of labor , and
could never had existed If labor bad not
first existed. Labor la the superior of capi
tal , and deserves much tho'higher consid
eration. "
Ho stops there , Instead of reciting the
next sentence , too : "Capital has Its rights ,
which aromas worthy of protection as any
other rights. "
No sliver apostle over thinks of repeating
a speech made by Abraham Lincoln to a
delegation of workingmcn. addressing them
as worklngmen , ho himself being their
truest friend. It was on the 21st day of
March , 18C4 , and these were his words :
"Tbo strongest bond of human sympathy
outsldo of the family relation should bo one
uniting all \\orklng people of all nations
and tongues and kindreds. Nor should this
lead to war upon property or the owners
of property. Property Is the fruit of labor ;
property Is desirable Is a positive good In
tbo world. That some should bo rlcb , shows
that others may becomg. rich , and boiico Is
just encouragement to Industry and enter
prise. Lot him not who Is houseless pull
down the house of another , but lot him
labor diligently and build ono for himself ,
thus , by example , assuring that bis own
shall bo safe from violence when built. "
This Is Abraham Lincoln , as history
knows him , and as his great Imago Is en
graved upon the American heart. And now
they sock to inako him an ally of repudia
tion , o ( class hatred and of the spoliation
of the poor.

steamer Worsley Hall , Captain Cameron , put
Into this port thU morning with her eargo
on flro. She was bound from New Orleans
for Havre , nnd loft the former port on
October 1C. On the morning of October S3 ,
when the sto.uncr was 550 miles east by
south of Sandy Hook , during n strong south-
crly gnlo , smoke was found Issuing from the
ventilators under the bridge , nnd nu exami
nation showed that tbo cotton stowed In
thu forward bold and which constituted tbo
major portion of tbo cargo , wnii on flro.
The ship was at once put before tbo wind
In order to lessen the draught , and the
hatch was lifted. The smoke wns almost
overpowering , but the Slngnlcso sailors , im
pelled by fear of the ship hclnt ; consumed
and encouraged by the example of the old-
cers , sot manfully to work nnd managed to
hoist out twenty bales of cotton nnd pllo
them upon the deck. Tbo ship wns rolling
with tbo heavy cross sen that was run
ning , and soon a huge wnvo washed over
the sldo nnd washed the bales overboard.
As the work ot breaking out the cnrgo
seemed too hazardous In the face of the high
sea , Captain Cameron decided to Hood the
hold. Tbo batches were battened down , hose
wns Introduced Into the hold and pumps
started. The water coming Into contact with
the llro produced steam , which added to
the smoke and sickening odor of tbo burnIng -
Ing cotton , poured Into the cabin and drove
nil hnnds on deck.s soon as the hatches
were battened down tbo ship was beaded for
Now York. As tbo water poured Into tbo
bold the ship sank down by the bead and
took a decided list to starboard , so as to
Impcdo tbo ship's progress considerably ,
The decks grow warm with the flro. It was
found necessary to batten tbo cabin doors ,
as the steam and smoke were stilling and
It was Impossible to enter there.

SAN FRANCISCO , Oct. 20. Tbo whaling
bark John Wlnthrop has returned after an
absence from this port of thirty-one months ,
during the greater portion of which time
she has been within tbo Arctic circle. Thcro
Is not a barrel of oil In her bold , or a
pound of whalubouc , aut ! Captain A. T.
Simmons' log book nhowa only hard luck.
The Wlnthrop brings additional particu
lars of the riots last winter among the
whalers. When the party of twelve loft
Hercschcll Island for the mlneo last March
they stele all of the Wlnthrop's dogs , sleds
and firearms. The search party that went
In pursuit was mostly made of officers. The
bark's crew was so mutinous that the ofll-
cora wcro obliged to stand two out of three
watches , and It became necessary to doubly
guard the storehouses.
Dan Sweeny , a seaman , was tbo most per
sistent deserter , and ho was accompanied
on ono of his excursions by Ed Sykcs , who
was also a member of the big party. Sykco
was captured on both occasions , once 1HO
miles In the Interior , and returned home
In the bark. Sweeney , although In Irons for
many weeks , managed to get away In n
bout just before tbo Wlnthrop sailed , and
was last seen by a missionary , several days
nfter hi * oscnpp. .lifadcd flOUthward. ' '
Thomas Keogh , who mcspiMi witu tw
men from otbcr vessels on Christmas eve
last , when the thermometer was 1C degrees
below zero , Is supposed to have perished In
the snow. His companions returned badly
frozen and sought shelter on the Wlnthrop.
Ono man lost a foot , and the other a heel.
William Mosher. second officer of the Wln
throp , died last winter of dropsy. Ho was n
native of this country , 65 yearn old , nnd
leaves a family , whlen lives here. Dick
Ilrook , the English cabin boy , was carried
off by consumption last May. Captain Sim
mons says Balling vessels are of no account
In the Arctic because the currents nro so
strong that a ship Is unmanageable In a gale
of wind.

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 2G. Commodore
K. Marlta , of tbo Imperial Japanese army ,
was a passenger on the steamer Coptic ,
which arrived from tbo Orient yesterday.
Ho Is an attache of the legation at Wash
ington , under special commission to visit
the navy yards and ship building yards of
the United States and England , and prepare
reports on the construction of battleships
for tbo gutdanco of the government In buildIng -
Ing the much talked of "now navy. "
Commodore Marlta Is a veteran naval
olllcur , who has seen much service. Ho com
manded a vessel during the recent Chlnese-
Jnpaneso war , nnd took an active part In
the famous battle of Wcl-Hal-Wel. During
the tlmo ho has been In the service , ho has
devoted a great deal of time to the study
of naval architecture ) nnd Is considered an
authority on the subject In bis own country.
The mission on which Oommodorc Marlta
comes to this country Is ono of great Im
portance , for his report will probably greatly
Influence the Japanso government In letting
contracts for a number of powerful battle
ships , fast cruisers and swift torpedo boats.
"I am here , " ho said , "as the agent of the
Japanese government to Inspect your ship
yards , study naval architecture and gain all
the Information posstblo In securing thu
war ships It will need for Its own defense.
After Inspecting the American yards , I
shall go to England with tbo same object
In view. Moro than that I cannot say now. "
Commodore Marlta travels as an attache
of the Japanese legation , In order that bo
may bo In closer touch with the govern
ment. Ho calculates that the work ho has
undertaken will require many mouths of
dil 11 Kent effort , and bo proposes to com
