Japan announces intention to attack seaports. Tokyo learns of missing Japanese fleet and whole world becomes convinced that United States has some powerful war agency. England decides to send a fleet to American waters as a Canadian pro­ tection against what the British suppose is a terrible submarine flotilla. Hilller is also sent to Canada to attempt to force his way through American lines with a message to the president 'in order that protection for the fleet may be assured.

The Dreadnaught, biggest of England's warships, is discovered at an impassable point In the Thames, much to the mys- •acr or cue kingdom. CHAPTER XIII. j) -. In the Beginning. .'• ! ft tu January of that momentous jjN4ar when the world's unrest reached A climax, and the president of the United States, his official day done, aat alone tn his study, perusing a re­ port from an agent of the state de­ partment and mentally comparing it •with preceding onea. The shaded light threw into relief against the darker shadows behind the long, lean Jaw, the grimly determined mouth and the somber eyes, but lent a touch of softness to the queer little lines which told that on occasion the man could chow infinite kindness and humanity. Thrust forward from the ranks of the people into the most Important office of the land, driven reluctantly into the arena of action from a seclu­ sion which had for him the charms of peace, he was still a man in peculiar laolation. In this, the third year of tils term, he was yet unknown -and xtnder constant discussion. Half Of his countrymen hailed him as the Lincoln of his time, and the other half declared him a tyrant In embryo. He had fought so doggedly for his principles that he had estranged those who had l>een his most ardent supporters. Hi£ disregard for party projects had cost liim the friendship of politicians; his advocacy of certain reforms hhd sub­ jected him to caustic comments; his very dignity and sensitiveness had been mistaken for austerity; and only ms most intimate friends understood that in him beat a great heart filled to overflowing tor his country and fel­ low men. These comprehending friends were few; but among them, perhaps the most Intimate, was the friend of his boyhood. "Old Bill" Rob- the inventor. Between, these two there existed that singular affection fouad rarely among master minds wher& each ad­ mires qualities in the other which he ^himself lacks. To Roberts the presi­ dent was the greatest statesman of the century, and to the president Roberts was the most accomplished scientist and Inventor who had ever lived; but on this night, laden with fate in which «ach was to play his part, the mind <«f neither was on the other. The in- renter was absorbed in the last of a aeries of experiments that had en­ meshed him in a dream whereby he hoped to eradicate friction, and the president was perturbed by reports for which he had waited many weeks. These latter were exhaustive in de­ tail, and in recapitulation tersely pre­ dicted that it would be almost an im­ possibility to avert war with Japan as soon as she reached a state of preparation. They summed up her naval strength, which they declared almost equal at the time of writing to that of the United States, and told how every navy yard in Japan was Tushing construction with all available apeed both night and day, so that her augmented squadrons when built Would be superior to those of the great republic. They reviewed the land preparations by showing that a greater number of men were being drilled than ever before in the coun­ try's history, and that the redoubtable army sent against Russia would be email in comparlslon with that which could be mobilized for another in­ vasion. The reports expressed the be­ lief that Japanese capitalists were anxious to seize the Philippines, and were encouraging the ambitions of-the emperor of Nippon to the full extent of their purses, hoping ultimately to find another outlet for Investment un­ der their own flag. As if In proof that the government was supporting this bellicose attitude, the reports gave as a certainty that some high authority was dictating the editorial policies of the Japanese press, and In all ways possible fomenting^ the 111 feeling against the United States. There could be no underestimation of the ability of the naval officer who had made these statements; for he The Inventor Entered the Room. that station oC Hm orient, spoke the language thoroughly well, understood the people, and above all was no alarmist. He gave it as his final opin ion that within six months, Japan, her navy completed, her soldiers drilled to perfection, and her treasury well sup piled with gold, would find pretext for a declaration of war. The only means of preventing this deplorable event, in his judgment, was to place the American navy in such a state of pronounced superiority that it would stay the warlike Japanese and hold them in the leash of awe. The president read the last clause again, and with a sigh ot discontent leaned back In his chair. Hour after hour he brooded over the complexities of the situation, and late at night came to the conclusion that he must Iobo no time in calling together his most trusted advisers, lay the report be­ fore them, and then by consultation and discussion decide which would be the most promising policy to pur­ sue in so grave a crisis. Before he retired the orders were given to his secretary which resulted in the first meeting of that coterie of 'men who were to assume the full responsi­ bility for the conduct of war which afterwards fulfilled the expert'; diction. They gathered Informally cm the fol­ lowing night, nor could It hare been observed by their demeanor that they were to discuss a situation of vital importance to the nation; but, fore­ warned by the president's call, they expected news of distressing import, and therefore were not Surprised In the least at the tenor of the statement which was read to them. They lis­ tened attentively, and remained silent when the last words were spoken, each waiting for the other to express an opinion. The president, grave and calm, looked from one to the other as if Inviting freedom of speech, and then turned to the secretary of the navy, a crusty man who was given to open expression. "Mr. Sessions," be said, "you are probably better informed than any other man of the possibilities of bring­ ing the navy to a point where it may be regarded as resistless. What hfcvn you to say?" The latter showed signs of ill tem per. He wiped the shining dome of his head and stared across the tops of his horn bowed glasses at his colleagues. "For three years now," he replied, bit­ terly, "I have endeavored to get ap­ propriations consistent with the needs of the country; did everything I could with dignity and a little more; tried to get friends to pass bills, and gave them statistics showing juBt what our position would be in this event; but there were always a few 'watch dogs of the treasury' who succeeded in de­ feating everything attempted." The president looked at him reprov­ ingly, but said nothing. The others gave him silent sympathy, knowing that M case of disastrous war he would be the one to stand In the lime­ light and defend himself for not work­ ing miracles unaided. The gratitude of kings was no more open to sarcasm than the gratitude of republics. "The report says," continued the secretary, gloomily, "that war may"be anticipated in six months at the furthest, and that our only safeguard ls to bring our naVy up to a formid­ able force before that time. Well, we can't do It! With all the facilities' at our command we can't build ships in a day. We shout about oqr re­ sources, and we have them; but it takes time to utilize them." His outspoken pessimism loosened bis hearers' tongues; but the most optimistic could find nothing encour­ aging to say. It was obvious that the country in any event would be un­ prepared. They were discussing emergency plans, when the president's secretary appeared in the doorway. They turned to him, wondering what could claim the chief executive's atten­ tion at that time of the night. The secretary walked over to the president and addressed him in a low tone. They caught scraps of the conversation. "Says he wants to see me to-night ?* "Yes, and I didn't like to refuse a man of his prominence, or one who is so closely your friend." "Won't he talk to you?" "Not much! Just laughed, and said he wanted to see you personally." "Well, go tell him I would be glad to see him ordinarily; but that I am in a conference of great importance with friends. Ask him to say what hour be prefers to see me to-morrow." The secretary bowed and left the room, and the conversation was re­ sumed. It continued only a moment before he again appeared, and the president turned toward him. "Dr. Roberts seems a little an­ noyed," the secretary apologized, "and Insisted on my coming back to tell you that he wanted to see you now." The president and others in the room laughed tolerantly, knowing the inventor's peculiarities. "What else did he say?" the presi­ dent asked. "Said he'd be hanged if he'd go un­ til he saw you." The laughter in the room increased. "Said he had found something that would enable the gov­ ernment to whip the Japanese; had been reading reports showing there was no time to waste, and wanted to tell you about it at once." The merriment subsided as quickly as It bad been provoked, and the hi­ larious ones, grown grave, looked at each other la astonishment and won­ der. Here at the very moment of dis­ tress was a man who had done more toward strengthening the nation's agsnts of offense and defense than any other individual confidently asserting that he could show them the way out of their difficulties. The president ordered that the caller be conducted to the room at once. Had it been any less a personage than the famous Inventor they would have paid small heed to the promise of hope; had they been informed in less troublous times that such an in­ vention was pending, they would have looked upon it with great interest and curiosity; but now, when all avenues of escape seemed closed, when the eagle's perch was rocking beneath Its talons and it was threatened by merci­ less foemen, they stared at each other in amazed silence like men who had been reprieved. It was in the midst of this stillness that the inventor entered the room and stood bewildered for' a moment, peering from beneath the thatch of his brows at one and another. Then, sat­ isfied that his visit was opportune and that none was present whom he did not know, he gave them individual greeting as his acquaintanceship war­ ranted. "You were not expecting me," be addressed the president; "but it Ap­ pears to me that there is no one here who should not know what I have to say, and who is not directly Interested in what I have to show. I am glad you are all here, gentlemen," he con­ cluded, turning to the others. And then, following the example of the president, he seated himself, and the others did likewise. They were strung with a suspense which he did not share. "Informal, isn't it?" he asked the president, and when assured that such was the case he calmly drew a handkerchief from his pocket and swept it across the dome of his fore- bead. All were waiting for him to speak; but, with exasperating slowness, and without asking permission from the president, he thrust a hand into the roomy folds of his sack coat and pro­ duced a bundle of long stogies, one of which he carefully withdrew and ex­ amined with great care. He thruBt it Into his mouth and revolved it, appar­ ently for the purpose of tightening a loose wrapper. He turned to the chief executive. There was an air of expectancy in the room and a leaning forward, that no word of the great secret might be lost. They caught all he said. "Got a match, Mr. President?" he asked with the utmost nonchalance. They dropped back into their seats, some with exasperation and others smiling. The president gravely sup­ plied his want, and then, as the evil odor of the weed was wafted round the room, he sat back in his chair, with the tips of his fingers touching each other. The secretary of war was beginning to fidget with impatience. Roberts puffed three or four times, fixed his eyes on a cornice as if he was the sole occupant of the room, then calmly reached Into a pocket and drew out a parcel which he laid on the president's desk. While every eye was fised upon him he tilted the stogy in his iqouth to an angle where the smoke would not interfere with his operations, and began unwrapping the package, throwing the newspapers on the floor at his feet. Then came a fold of silk, and last of all a sheet of tissue paper, whose crackling crlsp- ness sounded startllngly loud In the stillness of the room. "There!" he remarked triumphantly, exposing two small plates of metal not differing greatly in appearance from two pieces of burnished steel. Eager­ ly all those In the room crowded for­ ward, while the president gingerly took one of the slabs In hi£ fingers. "New explosive?" he asked. "No, they're harmless." The Inven­ tor smiled.

Many Seffave Governor Can Wave the Senatorial Toga If He Wants It --Fioht Begins Again ^ Capital. •'? 1 a Springfield, Mar. 8.--With the pass­ ing of the presidential inauguration at Washington and the appointment of the house committees by Speaker Shurtleff. the legislature was pre­ pared now to get down to the actual hard work that is before it Tuesday morning the members of the general assembly returned to the capital prepared to stick energeti­ cally to the work of the session, which up to this time had been delayed by different causes. The senatorial fight naturally has hampered and delayed things. The long-drawnoat fight has occupied almost exclusively the atten­ tion of the legislators since January 20 last, when the first joint ballot was taken. Before that time the session was In its infancy and the time was occupied with matters of organization and arrangements for .the senatorial contest. The disturbing fight ttat has been waged since the early days in January among the Democrats in the house also has had a tendency to retard the important work that is to be accom­ plished. For weeks the committee as­ signments have been held up in vain hopes that the members of the minor­ ity would settle their differences and agree among themselves on the mi­ nority representation upon the differ­ ent house committees. Finally both the Browne and Tipplt factions turned In separate lists and it became necessary for Speaker Shurtleff to divide the mi­ nority places between them as best he could. Lapland Has Many Resources . #-- Recent Efforts to Develop Them Are Full of Promise. WftMn a recent period efforts have been made to develop the natural re­ sources of Lapland, and there seems to be a considerable economic future in store for this region, which is es­ pecially due to the large deposits of iron ore. A great step was the build­ ing of the trans-Lapland railroad, which was finished in 1903. With the annex lines which are building it will eoon put Lapland in connection with Tornea, in Finland, with St. Peters­ burg and with the eastern region. The Stockholm-Narvik railroad line, which runs north and south, has a length of 950 miles. The transverse east-west line starts from Lulea, a Swedish Lapland port on the Gulf of Bothnia, and ends at the Norwegian port of Narvik (299 miles), passing by the mines of Gelllvara and Klruna. These latter mines, which have been worked onJy since 1902, were known as long back as 1735. The ore ls taken out Bach day there are six trains of M cars of 38 tons sent to Narvik. The annual product of the mfhe is 1,400,- 000 tons. The town of Klruna, with its attractive frame houses, has only four years' existence. M. Parmentier, secretary of the St Quentin Geological society, recently made an interesting conference at Paris upon the trans- Lapland railroad, in which he showed that Lapland, now connected with the international railroad systems, will open a field for immigrants, who can find remunerative work there.--Scieiv tiflc American. Child Saved Father's Ltfis, When D. Curtis fell and his head went through a window at Chapin- ville, Conn., an artery in his nose was severed. His wife was sick in bed. and the children couldn't stop the blood. His five-year-old daughter climbed on a chair to the phone and called a doctor. Curtis was nearly dead when the doctor came. He Said the child had saved her father from To Protect Merchants. Dealers in fireworks who spring np about July 4, and the small army of traveling merchants who move over the state following fairs and conven­ tions, besides the -various kinds of auctioneers who go from town to town carrying their stocks with them are affected by the terms of a bill intro­ duced in the senate by Senator Dailey, and designed to regulate all itinerant A state license fee of 9100 for all vendors, a bond of $2,000 approved by the secretary of state, and an addi­ tional license in each municipality visited are the thorns strewn in the way of the itinerant merchant, under the bill. The local license fee is made equal to consist in r percentage on one-fifth the value of the vendor's stock equal to the rate per cent, of the last preceding tax levy for all purposes except state and county purposes, in the municipality in which the vendor proposes to do business. The bill which was Introduced at the request of associations of mer­ chants in the state, has to do only with vendors who do business under a roof. The man who peddles wares on foot or from vehicles Is exempted, and only the dealer whose tuslness is big enough to warrant his renting a room ls aimed at The growth of this class, advocates of the bill assert, has become so large as to be inimical to the prosperity of local merchants. Many of them, it is believed, will find the $2,000 bond a forbidding ob­ stacle, and the repeated license fee, levied tn each new town, Is counted upon to discourage others. The state license Is not transferable, and no person may hold more than one at onfc time. The mayor or other chief executive of the municipality in which the vendor desires to do busi­ ness must appraise the stock of the vendor, and certify the license fee he is to pay on It, after which the vendor may not increase his stock without getting an additional license. Change Law ef Conspiracy. An important bill, in which labor unions are interested, was ordered per­ sonally reported Tuesday by the house judiciary committee. It 1b known as the Chiperfield measure and is calcu­ lated to prevent the prosecution of la­ bor union leaders on the charge of conspiracy. It provides that when two or more persons unlawfully conspire to com- pjit a crime, and do commit it, they shall be liable only to punishment for the commission of the crime, that no conviction shall be had for criminal conspiracy without the commission of an overt act and that punishment for conspiracy shall not be greater than for the contemplated crime. Aaks for Examination Board. Representative Fahy Introduced In the house a bill providing for the cre­ ation of a board of examination for barbers and prohibiting persons not having regularly issued certificates of proficiency, from practicing the trade. House Bill to Committee. rlouse bill 236, introduced by Mr. King, gives to library boards author­ ity to fix the amount of taxes re­ quired by them, the rate in ho case to exceed two mills on the dollar. It was referred to the committee. More Pay for Teachers. , More than 28;000 teachers in the public sctfools of Illinois and a far greater number of parents of children who attend these schools will watch with Interest the progress of legis­ lation, which probably will be intro­ duced in both houses soon, providing for a minimum salary scale for, public school instructors: The bills when introduced will be modeled along the lines of recom­ mendations made by the educational committee of Illinois and published jas the commission'^ bulletin by Ira Woods Howerth, the secretary. Hand in hand with advances in salary the ^commission contends must go stand­ ards of acceptable teaching, so that while teachers may get enough to live on if they are careful In their ex­ penditures, the public will get plenty of efficiency for every cent it spends The bulletin is made up of data gath­ ered from other states where the equivalents of minimum salary laws are in effect and after the presenta­ tion of these it goes into the state of affairs in Illinois. Taking the position that no teach­ ing of worth will stand a chance of be­ ing remunerated at its real value, the commission contends that in so im­ portant a profession a living wage is no more than just. It is not paid to teachers in some parts of Illinois. "Pie report cites cote county where a teacher gets 30 cents a day and 28 others where 60 cents a day or less is thought sufficient The sum of 60 cents a day is, of course, payable only through the duration of the school year, although it is paid seven days a weak, with holidays thrown in, as' long as the school year lasts. At $20 a month for six months, the minimum time in which schools are maintained the teachers in the un­ graded schools in these 28 counties would draw a maximum average of $120 a year for Instructing the youth of Illinois. The fact as established by the commission is that this maximum Is not reached. The remedy for these conditions,' the commission finds is In minimum salary legislation with a seven months' school term the minimum. The commission recommends that teachers holding a second grade certi­ ficate shall receive a minimum of $45 per month, or $315 per year, and those .holding first grade certificates shall Receive at least $55 per month, or 1385 per year. Where the present school tax is as high as may be, additional help un­ der the proposed legislation, would have to come from the state, but a canvass of 62 counties as shown in the report reveals the fact that only two of them have reached this limit In all it ls estimated some 6,800 teach? era would receive Increases In salary as the result of -such legislation. Circuit Clerks Ask New Laws. Demand was made of the present 'general assembly for the enactment of a law that will raise the per diem of circuit clerks and records of counties of first class to $6. The legislative committee of the State Association of Circuit Clerks and Recorders met in this city and adopted resolutions rec­ ommending this change in the law, and exhorting all members of the as­ sociation to influence representatives and senators in their respective dis­ tricts to secure the passage of the Inaugural Party Returns. . The Illinois inaugural party, headed by Gov. Deneen and the other state of­ ficers, arrived home Monday. Whether the governor's trip to the national cap­ ital Is to have any bearing upon the senatorial situation remains a matter of conjecture. Ever since he went to Washington there has been persistent talk that the toga will be forced upon him and that eventually he will ac­ cept the honor. It seems reasonably certain that Gov. Deneen can be Hop­ kins' successor if he will take the place. His friends in the general as­ sembly would be glad to vote for him, and so would his enemies, the former to honor him, the latter to get him out of the state. The distinctiveness of the lines that separate the Deneen and the anti-Deneen men in the legislature place practically the whole member­ ship of the general assembly upon one* side or the other. There are only a handful of legislators left who are not agreed that Hopkins is eliminated from the race, and even they would not hold out if Gov. Deneen could be induced to accept the senator- ship. So far as is known here at this time, nothing has occurred on the trip to Washington to cause the executive to change his repeatedly expressed deter­ mination to remain in Illinois for the present. Stories are afloat that Presi­ dent Taft wants Gov. Deneen in the senate, but no one can be found who will give authenticity to the talk along this line that has been circulated in­ dustriously since last Thursday. And even if it is true that President Taft wishes to seen Deneen in the senate, there is no way of knowing how Gov. Deneen would view such a proposi­ tion. His enemies are more hopeful than anyone elBe that he can be In­ duced to take the senatorship, and it may be this contingency that strength­ ens his determination to continue as governor of Illinois. Deadlock Is Still Tight. The exact time when the senatorial deadlock will be broken by the election of a senator to succeed Senator Hop­ kins is as indefinite and uncertain now as it was on the day when the first joint ballot was taken. There is noth­ ing to indicate that the deadlock will be broken during the coming week, yet it is not beyond the range of possibil­ ity. Joint Ballot for Senator. The joint ballot for senator re­ sulted Thursday: nopkins, 2; FOBS, 1; Stringer, 1; Shurtleff, 1. The thirty-ninth joint ballot tor sen­ ator Wednesday resulted: Hopkins, 8; Stringer, 4; FOss, 1. The "gentlemen's agreement" which held down the balloting during the In­ augural ceremony expired when the session convened Wednesday, and as a result the solons lookwi- foi vented thing doing. Fair Weather at Capitals •El* While blizzards raged at Washing­ ton and spoiled the splendor of the in­ augural the Springfield weather man celebrated the fact that Illinois had but one United States senator by giv-.- ing clear skie^and real spring weath* er.
