Several other members of the fire department gave testimony similar to that of Eckelman. One of these, John W. Parry, said he had had con- siderable experience with dynamite explosions and they differed in sound and effect from that at the Bradley apartment. All of the firemen said they heard but one explosion, Parry declared that the explosion at the Bradley apartment was louder than most gas explosions he had heard.

NOT AN ATTEMPT TOOVERAWE JAPANESE Mr. Metcalf Irritated by the Con- stant Misinterpretation of the Or der by the Newspapers—War ships Are Not to Remain in the Pacific Permanently. Oakland, Cal, July 9.—Secretary of the Navy Metcalf deprecates the warlike aspect that has been given the order for the cruise of the reat battlesh!p squadron from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast. The secretary said that the proposed movement was that of a practice cruise and that the fleet would not be kept in the Paci- fic permanently. He declared that the length of time that the fleet weuld remain on the western side of te continent had not yet been de- cided, With considerable emphasis the secretary voiced his opinion that the warlike interpretation that hed been made in connection with the fleet's move yent was not justified »y the facts. In fact, the widely pudlished reports suggesting hostle prenara- tions, seems to be a source of itrita- tion for the head of the navy. He sata: ‘Tae Moc, which will be moved from the Atlantic to the Pavic tiis winter is coming to this rorely mm a practice cruise. Tne st will sousist of 16 or more Vessels, not more than 20, and its stay on this side will not be permanent. Of course, the fleet will not come here, turn around and go right back again. How long it will remain in the Pacifie will be determined at the proper time. “There is no sound reason or ex- cuse for all this talk by the public and through the press of an attempt to overawe the Japanese by a war- like naval display. 1 do not believe that the newspapers are justified or right in so construing and coloring the cruise of the warships to the Pa- cific. “Every year the Atlantic fleet has been sent on a cruise. Last year it was sent to Guantanamo, This year it will be ordered to the Pacific. The long cruise will give the men and the vessels a thorough test and improve the efficiency of both.” Washington, July 9.—Viscount Aoki, the Japanese ambassador, has been deferring his departure from this city for his summer vacation in anticipation of the arrival of Admir- al Yamamota,- who is expected to reach New York soon from Europe. The admiral, who is one of the four officers of the Japanese navy hold- ing that rank, is on his way home to Japan, but will spend some time in the United States before sailing from San Francisco or Seattle, His visit to this country, however, is an entire- ly unofficial one, although it is ex- pected he will be shown some cour- tesies by the government authorities, including a visit to the president at Oyster Bay. The admiral is accom- panied by several Japanese officers. An opportunity will be afforded the -‘sitors to go through some of fhe big manufacturing and shipbuilding establishments if they care to do so, as it has been unofficially stated this was one of the purposes of the brief stay in the United States. Admiral Yamamota was one of the suite of Prince Fushimi on his visit to King | Edward. Elks to Visit Warships, Philadelphia, July 9.—Acting un- der orders from the navy department Capt. Edwin C.
