VOI,. XXV.— NO. 146. BROWN MEN AMBITIOUS This Is Shown in the Chan nels of Peace as Well as in War TO FORESTALL MORGAN JAPANESE DETERMINED TO BE PARAMOUNT IN ASIATIC SEA TRAFFIC FORM A SHIPPING COMBINE We Trust Controls Seventy-Five Steamships, and Will Operate Between Vladivostock, Rus sia, and Manila. Special to The Globe. TACOMA, Wash., May 25.—Today's Ori ental mail contains news that a ship ping trust has been organized at Osaka, Japan, to embrace all the important Japanese shipping excepting two com panies now operating lines tp Puget Sound and San Francisco. The object is to control the transpor tation business of competitive ports and . prevent a duplication of service where one line of steamers can handle all the traffic offered. The formation of the At lantic shipping trust by J. P. Morgan hurried the formation of the Japanese combine. The Japanese owners fear that the Morgan combine will ultimately seek to control traffic on the Asiatic coast. This result it is desired to forestall by organizing Japanese merchant marine so fully that it will remain the paramount power in traffic matters from Vladlvos tcck to Manila. The headquarters of the trust will be at Osaka. It controls seventy steam ships. DARKNESS AND FEAR FOLLOWS NEW ERUPTION Consternation Reawakened on St. Vincent Island—Martinique Al- . most Depopulated. KINGSTON, St. Vincent, B. W. 1., May 25.—Another eruption on the night of Sun day, May 18, caused a greater fall of ashes and stones and more consternation at Chateau Belair, Island of St Vincent, than resulted from the eruption of May 7. Shortly after the appearance of a cloud May 18, which was belched from the mountain, Egyptian darkness enveloped the village of Chateur Belair. The in habitants rent the air with shrieks and groped against the banks of the road leading to Cumberland in their efforts to flee from the threatened danger. Many persons had limbs broken. The darkness lusted one hour, but the exodus from Chateau Belair continued all night. Detonations, smoke and lava from the volcano continued the next day, May 19, and the people still tried to leave Chateau Belair far Kingston and other towns. A % heavy rainfall occurred at Chateau Be 'lair on the 19th, the first in the district for two months, and the streets, huts and shops were flooded. As the volcanic diminished after the IPU; some thirty of the inhabitants returned to Chateau Be lair. Kingston is longing for rain. There is no hope for the resuscitation of the Carib country for years to come.

DUBIOUS FOR CUBA Interest Reviving in Reci procity Only to Be De ferred Again INSURGENTS "STAND PAT" Vote- on the Philippine BUI still Remote, as the 7 Country < Must - Have More of the Oratory , It's Thirsting For. WASHINGTON, D. C, May 25.-From present indications the senate will de vote another full week, if rot a longer time, to the Philippine bill. The predic tion is freely made that a vote will not be reached before the r.jlddle of the fol lowing week. Senator Burrows will be heard tomorrow in advocacy of the bill, and among others who are expected fto speak this week are Senators Patterson, Pettus, Bailey and Bacon, in " opposition to the bill, and Senator Spooner in its support. : t ■ 7. When the speeches are disposed of there will be an effort to secure two or three days for the consideration of amend ments, allowing speeches not' exceeding ten or fifteen minutes en each. It is not expected that there will be any session Friday, as that is Memorial day. Cuba and the Canal. The continued deferment of the time for taking a vote on the Philippine meas ure has caused considerable abatement in the preparation of the discussion of the Nicaragua canal bill and the Cuban reciprocity Bill, which will be taken up next in succession or jointly. The beet sugar people predict a month's debate on the Nicaraguan bill, but this predic tion is not. in accord with the views of the advocates of the Nicaragua bill or its opponents. 7' Both these elements are now claiming a, majority and are saying that"the sooner the vote.is reached the better they will be satisfied. The beet sugar men, how ever, are counting confidently on the co operation of; the side which finds itself in the minority in the matter of post poning the vote on the canal bill, In other words, the beet sugar advocates welcome the introduction of any ques tion which will defer consideration of the Cuban bill, since they think that there will be no Cuban legislation at all if the taking up of that question can; be postponed until after the passage of all the appropriation bills. Won't Help Their Opponents. • The appropriation bills should be passed before the Ist of July, in order to supply money for the support of; the govern ment after that date, and they conse quently expect that considerable time will be given in June to the appropriation bills. They count confidently on the early ad journment of congress after the appro priation bills are ; out of the way, and they hold that if after that time there is an effort to pass the Cuban bill It will be incumbent on the friends of the bill to maintain a quorum in the senate.-. "It would be hardly fair," said a beet sugar Republican- senator today, 'jto ex pect the opponents of the proposed reduc tion to 7 assist in prolonging a session in midsummer for the purpose of passing a measure which they do not want to see enarrted: into law." There is still a - considerable Repub lican element in the senate opposed -. to tariff reduction, and It ls asserted by. the beet sugar men that the forty-five Republicans necessary to pass the bill have-not yet been secured. It is de clared, however, that a practically unan imous vote could be secured for a rebate measure. \ ~ ' . House Prospects. The bill to regulate Immigration will have the right of way in the house over all measures except appropriation bills, revenue bills and conference reports. De bate on this bill probably will be resumed, on Tuesday, Monday being set aside for the District of Columbia.7> After the im migration bill is acted upon the commit tee on rules will report a special order for the consideration of the anti-anarchy bill. This will be followed by the sub sidiary coinage bill. . It Is anticipated by the leaders of the house that these measures will occupy the entire week, in which event the Pa cific cable bill will not be reached until the first week In June. It In turn will be followed by the irrigation bill. ALLIE PETTY AND HIS GIRL WILL DIE Coarse of True Love Among Mis souri People" Helped Out With a Revolver.

DAY IN THE SAME BOAT Maj. Waller. It Is Intimated, Dl* Wrong in Not Referring the Mat- 2 ter to Gen. Smith Defore fs Killing Off Filipinos. ~ _ MANILA, P. 1.. May 25.-The official findings of the court-martial which tried Maj. L. W. T. Waller and Lieut. John A. Day, of the marine corps, for execut ing natives of the island of Samar with out trial, have been made public. Tho ' reviewing authority of the court, Mai. ' Adna R. Chaffee, commander-in-chief of the American forces in the Philippines, has expressed its approval of the court's findings In both cases. Referring to tho case of Maj. Waller,-the reviewing au- 1 thority says: ( "The sending of vie natives in ques- i tion to their death partook more of un lawful retaliation than a justifiable act of war. In Justice to the American mili tary service the finding of acquittal de-1 mand that they s-all not meet with un» | qualified approval. j "The marines in Samar underwent great suffering before their rescue, and i.wir officers, from their sick beds, voiced the I revengeful anger of the men, who tele- j phoned to Maj. Waller advising that the stevedores be klllefl. Maj. Waller re ceived this message while he was sick, ' prostrate from a fever, suffering acuta pain of body duo to exposure and his ' exertions in behalf of his men and men tal anguish concerning their fate which j had long been In doubt. ti \ Gen. Smith Not Consulted. ,f\ "Maj. Waller was at the. time in telex ; phonic communication with Gen. Smith. j who commanded the American forces in' •Samar, .but,ho deliberately chose not i to consult Gon: Smith regarding his con-| tempjated.'actlon, and, rather than fore-' 1 go the execution of his unrestrained will, \ he assumed the power the laws of war j and the customs of the service corner I upon commanding officers only in time of . war. J "Giving heed to the mental attitude of Maj. Waller, as much of the findings of the court as are to the effect that' Maj. Waller is not guilty of murder r.a. approved. But the reviewing authority is at a loss to understand why the court did not find against Maj. Waller in the minor offense. With the exception noted, the acquittal, as it appears in the rec ord of the proceedings, is disapproved."l Llent. Day's Case. || Referring to the case of Lieut. Day, the reviewing authority says: "The accused knew that for three weeks Maj. Waller had undergone a test of his mental and physical -endurance such as few men are called upon to suffer. While fully conceding the grave responsibili- ; ties assumed by a subordinate officer in f willfully disobeying an order of his com- j manding ofllcerr still, the weighty reas- 1 ons related, with which Lieut. Day was acquainted, M tainted Maj. Waller's order j that Lieut. Day should have been prompt-. Ed to positive disobedience. - , j "An officer must be conscientiously re- I gardful of tho unquestioned legality of j his agency In taking the lives of his fel- j low men. Above and beyond all personal j considerations, officers must guard the: name and honor of the country. Had I Lieut. Day been actuated by such con-' elderations he would probably have pre-,' vented one of the most regrettable lnci-1 dents in the annals of the military service ' of the United States."
