- where tugs and steamers, gaily deco
rated with etresmers and pennants,
lined the wharves awaiting thousands
of excursionists who were going out
to meet the fleet.

that all records of the outpouring of
popular sentiment would be, surpassed.
The enthusiasm of the people was evi
dently sincere though mixed with the
natural curiosity to see the big fight

successful cruise of which has marked
a new epoch In naval history.
Foreigners were In the minority In
the crowd, but wherever they appeared
they were treated with even exception

Americans, many of the Japanese be

Americans and those from other lands.

assembled at Kurihama on site of the

by gracefully dTpplng colors.
When It came closer In the fleet was
met by aeven big ocean liners char
' tered by the Prefecture of Kanagawa,
carrying 7000 persons, including many
foreigners. The air was filled with
bursting, bombs sent up from various
points, and the roar of voices waa
heard even in the city of Yokohama.
When the fleet rounded Honmou
point and came Into full view of the
City of Yokohama, the IS assembled
Japanese warships began firing the
salute to the Kear-Admiral In command
of the American fleets The roar of the
guns, the bursting fire-works, bombs,
the shriek of the steam sirens, with the
accompaniment of the drone of the
deep notes of the liners filled the air
with overwhelming sound. Ashore
bedlam broke loose and words fail to
describe the enthusiasm of the assem
bled thousands.
When the American fleet finally
came to anchor It presented an Impos

ships occupied four long columns . of
eight each, the Americans taking the
place of honor In the forefront, the

THRUSHES GIRL'S FATHER
YOUNG ST. JOHN MAX OBJECTS
TO INTERFERENCE.
"When Parent of Girl Attempts to
Hit Him, Mlx-T'p Occurs In Which
Tarcnt Is Worsted.
An irate father who objected to the
attentions of a young man to his
daughter essayed to thrash the young
man last night on a St. John car at
the corner of Second and Washington
streets and not only did not succeed
but in turn was well thrashed for his
efforts. The affair ended by the
adjournment of all concerned and a
number of witnesses to the police
station under -the guidance of Patrol
man J. Burke.
There the father gave the name of
J. Tayser. of St. John, while the escort
said that he was James Murdock, also
of St. John. Both of Tayser's eyes
were blackened and several cuts were
inartistically distributed 'er his fore
head and cheeks. Sergeant Goltx, who
Is Acting Captain cn the first night
relief, after getting near the parent
nnri cvM11ncr ViIk hrPflth delivered bim-
I self of the opinion that the man had
been drinking. His remark was not
contradicted by Mr. Tayser.
l-'rom the stories of the witnesses
and of the principals in the encounter
it developed that Mr. Tayser and his
wife are getting a divorce and that
pending this important family event
the daughter, who Is a comely young
woman of 21, Is living with her
mother. Tayser, who boarded the csr
after his daughter and her escort,
grew angry when he saw them and
tried to induce the younger man to
leave her. This the young man re
fused to do. Tayser then struck at
him and a'general mix-up between
father and escort ensued. After the
party had started down Second street
for the police station a young man
who said that he was. John Murdock.
and a brother of the escort, followed
after cursing the policeman In round
terms for having taken his brother
into custody. He was found outside
the police station by Sevgeant Keller
casting Imprecations against the tlue
coat. He was also brought inside and
taken before the desk. While tha
others were relating their stories he
stood and cursed the officer under hi
breath.
