Both the people who exhibit and those who go to see tne exposition will be the gainers by the delay." Mr. Loom is said that the other Ameri can representatives, as well as himself and many tourlsta who have been In Ja pan during the last six weeks, were im pressed by the manifestation of the Jap anese government's good will toward the American people.

Kveryone who was In the Far East during the visit of Admiral S perry's fieet saw and felt that If there was any disposition tor wartare, the presence of that superb fleet of bat tleships has annihilated it. That the moral effect of the voyage has been tremendous Is admitted by every Intelli gent foreigner in the Orient." HINDUS ML NOT MOVE PROTEST AT BEIXG SENT FROM CANADA TO HONDURAS.

Captain of Less Injured Vessel Holds to and Permits Passengers of Other Boat to Tumble Aboard Like Scared Sheept XBW YORK, Nov. 33. The lives "of more than 500 persons were nperiled yes terday, when the fruit steamer Admiral Dewey, inward bound from Jamaica crashed Into the steamer Mount Desert, outward bound from Bayrldge for the fishing banks. The Admiral Dewey, com ing suddenly out of a fogbank, struck the Mount Desert almost amidships opening a gash In the fishing vessel that extended from the upper deck to the water s edge. There were 450 passengers including 20 women and six children, on the Mount Desert, and the Admiral Dewey carried 46 passengers. In addition there were the crews of the two steam ers. ' Panic immediately followed the collis ion, and it was due to the .prompt actlon- of the captain of the Admiral Dewey that a catastrophe was avoided, for the pas sengers on the fishing steamer began pil ing over the guard rails of that vessel and leaped for the deck of the Admiral Dewey. Had the captain backed his steamer away, many would have fallen into the water. Instead he kept the ves sel moving slowly ahead, and this held the prow Into the rent that had been made and afforded a boarding place for the frightened passengers of the Mount Desert Thus the two steamers moved slowly toward the east bank of the lower bay. while a wild scramble was taking place on the decks. It was believed that the Mount Desert would sink, and the passengers fought frantically to get to the deck of the Ad miral Dewey. A number of persons were slightly Injured in the stampede. Men and women climbed over the guard rails to the Admiral Dewey so rapidly that they trampled upon one another. In the space of 16 minutes, fully 350 pas sengers of the Mount Desert sprang to the decks of the other steamer. Rv this time the Admiral Dewey drew more water than the other and the keel of the vessel was striking the bottom. But nearly all the passengers or tne Mount Desert had been transferred and the panic was subsiding so Captain Davidson signalled to have the engines stopped and a few minutes later the boats drifted apart. Later the MoMnt Desert steamed to South Brooklyn- where- she docked to permit the rest of the pas sengers to land. Meantime the Admiral Dewey had been taken up tne river io her Dler. where her own passengers and those from the Mount Desert were landed. LOOK LIKE SOLID GOLD Monument at A.-Y.-P. Fair to Be .
