New York, July 31 The bodies of two women with the marks of the stranglcr on their throats have been found here within the last twelve hours, and the police believe that one man committed both crimes. Neither of the victims have been identified. One woman was found in an area way on East Nineteenth street. The marks of a thumb and a forefinger were visible on her throat, and her face and neck were smeared: with blood. She was about 27 years old. No one In the neighborhood heard sounds of a struggle. Tha body of tha other woman, also the victim of a strangler, was found last night in a Twenty-second street boarding house. Tha woman cams to the house with a man who gave his nama as Davis. Her body was found last night In the room the couple had ocojupled. A necktie had been' knotted! tightly around her throat and she had been dead for several hours.' Tha blood vessels In the neck were broken and the woman's clothes ware drenched in blood. No trace of the man, who had occupied tha room with her, has beea found. The dead woman was about 14 years old. Braall Eager for Japanese Trade. Washington, July 11. Tha daily consular report states on the autb orlty of Irving B. Dudley, minister to Brasll, that special effort Is being made by Brazil to Induce the coming of Japanese labor, and that It Is largely to this end that a subsidy is offered for the establishment of a regular steamer 11ns between Rio de Janeiro and Japan. Mr. Uchlda, who presented his credentials as Japanese minister td Brasll June 3, said in a conversation that the consummation of this pro ject Is the principal aim of his mis sion. Tha new stemshlp line, according to Minister Uchlda, will be in opera tion as soon as arrangements can be perfected, and will probably touch at the west coast ports of Ecuador, Pe ru and cnlie, ana passing inrougu the straits of Magellan, visit Buenos Ayres, terminating the voyage at Rio de Janeiro.

Admirals Capps and Conies to Visit the Paclllc to Deride on Place to Locate New Supply Point. Washington, July 31. It Is prob able that another naval station will be created on the Pacific Coast as the result of the forthcoming visit there of Admiral Capps, chief naval con structor of the navy, and Admiral Cowles, chief of the equipment bu reau. The former left Washington today for New York, where he will be joined by Admiral Cowles, and the two will go together to tha Pa cific Coast to make a thorough in spection of the yards and stations on that coast, and report upon the fu ture needs of the navy In that quar ter. Admiral Hollyday, clhef of tha bu reau of yards and docks, will follow these two officers to Sau Francisco ou a similar errand. This will Involve a careful examination of the Mare Island Navy Yard and that at Brem erton. The resources of the two navy yards are scarcely sufficient to make even temporary repairs and dockings that will be required by Admiral Evans' battleship fleet If it makes only a temporary visit to the coast. Hence, the Inspection of these yards will probably result in recommenda tions to Congress at its approaching session for a considerable enlarge ment of the plans at both places. The difficulty of procuring skilled labor in these yards, especially at Bremerton, will also be considered, with a view to making the conditions more attractive to such labor, if by no other means than assuring the men of 'continuous employment at good wages. But from a naval point of view probably of more Interest is the proposition to establish a naval station at Ban Diego, Cel., which will be etaminad from all points of view by the visiting admirals. The harbor at this point possesses superior ad vantages as a naval anchorage. There are good railroad connections, assuring abundant supplies of coal. If water communication Is cut off in war time, and tha harbor can be made Impregnable. The distance of San Diego south ward from San Francisco and upon the same Una with the projected Panama canal would also make It an advantageous coaling point. Of course, the consent of Congress would be necessary to render effec tive its selection. Turks and Grtx-ks Do Buttle. Atherfti, July 31. Thsre has been a oltrhed battle between Turkish troops, supported by Beshl-Hazuks and a small band of Greek Insurgents who had entrenched themselves In house In the outskirts of Seres, Euro pean Turkey, fifty miles northeast o Salonika.
