Iler Neighbor Across the Channel
Ijr.nflnn, Deo. 22. 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,

the Normandy works, France; three
3,000 tan protected cruisers of 20 knots,
three torpedo gunboats and a dispatch

the type already described (9,600 tons
and 20 knotn), to be built at Yokosuka.

A LIFE'S SAD ENDING.
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

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.
