Tbe battle ship Oregon has been severely damaged, ajid the Navy Department has approved recommendations that four months be given for repairs before the vessel is again sent to duty.

RAPID MOBILIZATION. Japan Sent 23,000 Men to the Front in Ten Dnji. "YOKOHAMA. July 16, via Victoria, B. C, Aug. 1. Japan's spirited and cner .getic action In the crisis is the theme of general comment, as well as universal praise. The whole division of troops, numbering 23,000, is now probably at Taku, the entire mobilization taking only 10 days from the- time the order was given The forces are almost entirely from the south, not only as the nearest point to the seat of war, but also the best and most famous lighting strength of the Empire, and composed of men Inured to the heat of the southern Sum mer. The reserve is so admirably organ ized that on the order being given the men had only to repair to the given rendez vous of their respective districts to find e erythlng in readiness for the campaign. An immense fleet of transports had al ready assembled at Ujlma. on the inland sea, and the, embarkation was accom plished with 'marvelous smoothness and dispatch. Japan's attitude elicits all tho more praise, as every one realizes how much reason she had to distrust the Western powers after her experience in being Tobbcd by them of the fruits of her vic tories In the late war. In spite of this "her position in this crisis lias been one of great dignity. She is entering upon her duty without fear or favor or misgiv ing, while at the same time she is laying hold of her great opportunity. The ap plause of the whole world awaits her when the opportunity is grasped and the duty done. "Without doubt it would have been done earlier had the relazlation of the magnitude -of the danger dawned upon j tins nation, iiut Japan is not to blame 1 lor sharing the world's ignorance of the gravity of the situation.

The National Zeltung says. "A German Commandeiin-Chief is quite out of the question, as Germany has only 300 sol diers iu Tien Tsin." The statement is made in a "reliable quarter that more than 20,000 men and 3u50 officers of the German Army havei responded to tho call for volunteers for the Chinese service. The Foreign Office has taken steps to prevent unauthorized publication of Em-ive-or William's speeches At the second embarkation of troops for China on Mon dav the correspondents were admitted only after rfgning a written agreement to publish no report of the Emperor's deliv erance oa that occasion until tho manu script had beea submitted to the Forclcn Oihce.

The possible connection between Bressl, the Italian murderer of King Humbert, and the New Jersey group of anarchists, has moved this Government to take measures to investigate the anarchist situation in and around New York. Just what steps have been 'taken is not made public i 1 CANNOT 'BE EXTRADITED. America Can Give Italy No Aid in the Prosecution. NEW YORK, Aug. 1, There is little the United States can do in the way, of aiding the Italian Government In pros ecuting those engaged in the conspiracy which resulted In the assassination of King Humbert" if it should, be proven that the conspiracy was entered Into in America, says the Washington corres pondent of the World. Officials of the State Department and the Department of Justice say all ex tradition treaties between the United States and other countries provide that persons charged with political arimes shall not be surrendered for trial. As a general rule of international law, the killing of a ruler or attempt against the life of a ruler is a political crime. There is no such provision in the treaty between the United States and Italy, therefore it would be impossible to grant a demanl from the Government of Italy for the e:;ir Mtion of any person in the United States who may have conspired with the murderer of Humbert. It would also be Impossible for such persons to be punished either under Federal or state laws for conspiring to commit a political crime in a foreign country. , It would be practically impossible for the United States to surrender to the Italian Government as a matter of cour tesy any of the alleged conspirators, as, if the attempt should be made, they would doubtless apply to the courts for writs of habeas corpus. While persons engaged in this country In a conspiracy against the head of a foreign government could not be punished, a conspiracy to kill the President of the United States, or even a threat to kill him, could be punished just the same as a conspiracy or threat to kill any private person. No request has come from the Italian Government to investigate the alleged anarchist plots in this country in con nection with the killing of King Hum bert, and the Secret Bureau has no funds that can be used in such an Investiga tion, except in case of an extraordinary emergency. HATCHED IN THIS COUNTRY. Anarchists in the East Have Chosen Men to Do Their Work. NEW YORK, Aug. 1. Leaders of the Italian colony which has settled on the shores of New York harbor are taking steps to ferret out and bring to justice those anarchists who they believe are di rectly or indirectly responsible for the killing of King Humbert. The better class of -Italians discredited on Monday's event the suggestion -that Bressl was in any way backed by a local society. They said then that such a- thing was Incredible; that the man had either oommitted tne deed of his own sane volition or in an act Of madness. They admitted that there were anarchists In New York and New Jersey, but these, they said, were of a harmless type. They scouted the idea that these men had formed such a plot and sent one of their number to Italy on sucn a murderous mission. The developments of the day, however, had a more striking effect upon all classes of the Italian settlement. It re sulted in a great change of sentiment. The present feeling of the Italian lead ers is best expressed by a statement made by F. P. Cambria, president of the United Italian Societies of this city.. Signor Cambria said: "There is no doubt in my mind that the assassination of King Humbert was plotted here. By that I mean that not only the Italian colony in this city, "but in tho great settlement of our people around New York harbor. What makes me think mo're than anything else that the anarchists among un arc organized and have chosen men from amorig them selves to put their murderous plans into execution was an anarchistic lnuendo which I discovered today. It was one of thousands of circulars which are being thrown about broadcast among our peo ple. It was printed on the press of an incendiary organ of the anti-monarchiscs f I in Hoboken, the editor of which 13 said to nave Deen an inumate-mena, of isresbt. 'The- circular first, assailed the Italian newspapers -which -aave mournedj the death of thQ King. It railed, against any sentlment of sorrow, and ridiculed all show of sympathy- It openly denounced tho dead King, rejoining la Ms taking off, and named his assassin a hero. It will accordingly be our purpose to purge'our settlement of such an element as is rep resented by this circular. It will be our first step to appeal tojthe police for their help", and falling to get It, wo will take the matter Into our own. hands." BRESSI'S CHARACTER, Appeared to Be a. Q,ulet Fellow but Unsettled. NEW YORK Aug. 1. The World's, cor respondent at Florence. Italy, yesterday made a trip to Prato, where he obtained a detailed account of' the' antecedents ot Gaetano Bressl, the assassin of King Humbert, and of his movements prior to the assassination. Gaetano Bressl was born November 10, 1S60, in Coja'no, a mile from Prato, a manufacturing town of 15,000 Inhabitants, beautifully situated 15 miles north of Florence. Ho began work, as a shoemak er, but studied in a technical school at Prato for a time and thus became a weaver, which avocation he followed for eight years at Fabracone's large factor? In Prato. After a strike" In 1S92 he left Prato and went to work In Unninl's factories at Florence. A year later he jeturned to Prato where he was em ployed in ZelonL's mlU. He must have been of a restless, roving disposition, for he left Prato again for Luclca on January 22. 1S9S, and sailed from Genoa for New York oa February 20 of the same year. Bressl returned to Prato on June 4 last and about that timo the Italian: Con sul in New York advised the authorities in Italy that Bressl had interested him self in anarchical newspapers published at Paterson. "N. J., edited by Ciancabelll and Malatesta, revolutionary Italians. Bressl traveled from New York via Paris and on June 11 applied to the municipal officers of Prato for a 'birth certlncato that he might secure. a permit to carry arms. This was refused because of ills character and past offenses which he had committed against the municipality. 'On June 16 he" secured a passport for New York, describing himself as a shoe maker. Early in June We went to Castla San Pietro to visit two of -his young nieces. On the evening of July 18 ho took the train for Milan via Bologna. Bressi Is tall and slender, with an -olive complexion, dark eyes and a slight mus tache. His mother d!$& in February, 1S91, and his father In 1S95 The assassin has two brothers, one, Lorenzo, a shoe maker at 'Cojano, 13 years older than himself," and the other, Angiolo, for whom the murderer appears to Tiavo been at first mistaken. Angiolo is eight years older than the assassin and is a Lieut enant of artillery, stationed at Caserta. Loienzo Bressi, interviewed at Cojano by the World correspondent, said: "i knew of Gae'tano's anarchist opin ions, but never attached any Importance to them, f always thought him a quiet, good-natured fellow, though unsettled. For myspnrt, I curse the anarchists, my opinion being that for workingmen like us, the chance to eat, irink and work should bo enough. I do not thing much about politics.
