A dispatch from Tokiibrtnia ftayn: Itufsia has notified Japan of the tern porary occupation of Port Arthur, and a lai e Japanese squadron has left Na gasaki. Sir Hallldny Macartney, the EnpllBh Hecretnry of the Chinese embassy, wai asTtd if Pti Asia's pnsowpslon of Port Arthur would be temporary. He re plied that tills plea was usually made a pretext for occupation. An unconfirmed report Is current here that part of the Hritlsh far eastern squadron will be stationed at Wei Hal Wei this winter. If true, this Indicate that Great Britain Is working with Ja- pnn. The latter still occupies Wei Hal Wei, ponding payment of the Chinese wnr indemnity. The newspapers are much disturbe-3 over the situation. "What do we get?' Is the burden of their complaint, and they all InsiHt on the necessity for Im mediate action. The Globe says, "Rus sia and Germany now have the two I most Important strategical positions in northern China, and Great Britain, whose commercial interests there are ten times greater, must be content with the crumbs from the St. Petersburg and Berlin tables." The Pall Mall Gazette echoes The Standard's inquiry as to America's at titude and remarks: "Of course the par tition of the coast, which Is bound to come, will not be confined to Russia and Germany. Every naval Mate In the world Is actively concerned In the dis turbance of the equilibrium in the far east. Great Britain, France and Japan especially. But the United States can not be treated as a quantity to be ig nored. Tame acquiescence with these seizures Is not worthy of our past and Is fatal to our future. We may remark that we shall not be without sympathiz ers, aa the Japanese will most joyfully back any scheme to redress the bitter V EMPEROR OF JAPAN, humiliation they have suffered at the hands of Russia." Advices received here from Paris show France U awaltlnfr Great Britain's ac tion. If Great Britain follows the lead of Russia and Germany and occupies a seaport, France will forthwith do the same. It has been recently noticed In con nection with the naval forces of vari ous countries In the Pacific that Japan Is second only to England In naval ac tivity, being ahead of France, much in advance of Germany and vastly In the lead of Russia and the United States. Moreover, her ships are all of the best and highest types of naval architect ure. The following ships are under construction for the Japanese: Three 14,800 ton battleships, which are well advanced, at Armstrong's, Thompson's and the Thames Iron works reflective ly; one battleship of about 10,000 tons, commencing at Armstrong's; four first class armored cruisers of 9,600 tons displacement and 20 knots speed, twro at Armstrong's, one at the Vulcan works at Btattin and one at the Forges et Chantlers, France: two 5.000 ton pro tected cruisers of about 23 knots speed, one at Ban Francisco and one at Phila delphia; one protected cruiser of 4,300 tons and about 23 knotB at Arm strong's ; four 30 knot torpedo boat de stroyers at Yarrow's; four more of similar typeat Thompson's; eight 90 ton torpedo boats at the Bchichau works, Elblng; four more of a similar type at the Normandy works, France; three 3,000 tan protected cruisers of 20 knots, three torpedo gunboats and a dispatch vessel, at the Imperial dockyard, Yoko suka.

MISS HERBERT COMMITS SUICIDE AT HER WASHINGTON HOME. l"he Daughter of the Former Secretary of the Navy flnrted Heraelf From a Third Story Window, Receiving InJnrle. Which Can.ed Death. Washington, Dec. 22 The tragic death of Miss Leila Herbert, daughter of former Secretary of the.avy Hilary Herbert of Alabama, caused a profound shock to Washington society. In which the young lady had for a number of years been prominently connected. The coroner decided that no Inguest was necessary, the facts In the' case being clear. At police headquarters the death was reported as a case of suicide, due to melancholia and temporary ab erration of the mind, as the result of brooding over long Illness. Miss Herbert'; death Is traceable In directly to an accident while horseback riding In Virginia last September. She always had been enthusiastically fond of riding, and during a visit to Vir ginia she started out one day on a horse that had not been well brok n. It stum bled, and she was thrown violently to the ground, sustaining severe injuries to her back. She was brought back to Washington, but recovery was exceed ingly slow, and It was not until last Sunday that she was able to go out of the house. It had been Miss Herbert's custom for several years to take her breakfast In her room and later prepare for the so cial obligations of the day. Shortly after 10 o'clock she dressed to go down St h, ' , 4 I'r V 7 1 1 ' MISS LEILA HERBERT. stairs, but Instead of descending to the parlor went to the rear room of the third story of her home, whence she leaped to the ground, sustaining in Juries from the effects of which she died within an hour. Ex-Secretary Herbert reached Wash ington at 10 o'clock last night, having been on his way from Alabama to spend the Christmas holldoya with his family, when the news of his daugh ter's death met him on the train. Other Notable Washington Tragedies. Washington folk are recalling the number of fatalities in prominent off! clal households In recent years. Of the Cleveland cabinet Secretary Bayard's daughter died suddenly, as every one believed at the time, by her own hand Hers was a case of true love with a poor young man attached to one of the foreign legations. He was ordered to a far distant post through powerful Influences, and Miss Bayard could not survive the separation. Attorney General Garland's daughter shot herself In a fit of melancholy In duced by too much religious contem plation. A daughter of Secretary Blaine near ly died from the effects of a pistol shot wound said to have been an accident, and the horror of the Tracy fire, where President Harrison's secretary of the navy was aflilcted so sorely, comes again to the public mind.
