Sultan of Sulu will arrive in New York soon on the steamer St. Louis. The war department received a wireless from the sultan saying that he was on his way to this country on the St. Louis and expected to visit Washington. The message was addressed to Brig. Gen. Clarence R. Edwards, chief of the bureau of insular affairs of the war department, who is now in Peking with Secretary of War Dickinson’s patty, which is touring the world. The sultan will be advised that his friend, Gen. Edwards, is not in Washington, but arrangements will be made to receive him. Jamatul Kiram 11, Sultan of Sulu. and Uncle Sam’s only crowned subject. is 40 years old. and considerably married. Additional interest was added to his forthcoming visit 6y an announcement that he was to bring a treasure of pearls which he desires to sell in order to establish schools in his archipelago. Kiram has one of the most productive pearl farms in the world, several islands on the off side of the Philippines producing great quantities of pearl oysters. Our only sultan has been much advertised by Americans returning from the far east. Pages have been written about him. George Ade named a musical, comedy after him. He is 5 feet, 5 inches tall, weighs 150 pounds and wears a mustache, which curls downward dolefully. He is said to believe that typewriting machines are operated by spirits and was much more impressed by an X-ray machine by means of which he saw the bones of his own right hand, than by the American guns which commanded his city. The United States pays him a salary of $1,500 a year and he has only civil authority over a tiny village. Col. Hugh L. Scott, lately superintendent of the military academy at West Point, is his best American friend. He has been loyal to the United States.

TAFT WOULD FORTIFY THE PANAMA CANAL

President Will Ask Appropriation ol $2,000,000. President Taft, in his coming message to congress next December, will give prominence to a recommendation that at least $2,000,000 be appropriated for immediate use for beginning the fortification of the Panama canal. It became known that the president’s economy plans do not contemplate any interference with the established naval policy of adding two battleships a year to the American fleet Mr. Taft believes that there ought to be no delay in this government’s undertaking the fortification of the .canad. He recommended an appropriation of $2,000,000 for this purpose at the last session, but it encountered some opposition in the house and was not passed. Mr. Taft holds that the United States has ample power under her treaty rights to fortify the canal In fact, the only way this government can “police and protect” the canal, in his opinion, is by fortifying it, and he proposes to exert his influence to accomplish this as soon as possible. It Was learned that the administration is thinking of establishing a strong naval base on Guantanamo Island, near Cuba. Secretary of the Navy Meyer will take a trip to Guanatanamo for the purpose of observing the navy experts that future wars in which this country may be engaged, If they ever come, will be fought out in the neighborhood of the Panama canal and it is in connection with this opinion that the secretary is looking toward Guanatanamo as affording a base for an American fleet. Of almost equal interest, With the news of the president’s attitude towards the canal, was the announcement of the likelihood of the negotiation of a reciprocity treaty between this country and Newfoundland.

HURL BOMBS FROM “L”

Chicago Gambling War Results in More Explosions.; The gambling war being waged in Chicago which has caused wrecking of thousands of dollars’ worth of property and injury to more than twenty persons during the past two years, was renewed in Chicago when two places were, partially wrecked by bombs which were hurled from trains or stations of the South Side Elevated railroad, which runs past both places. One of the bombs was exploded in the rear of Frieberg's notorious dance hall and saloon, located on TwentySecond street, in the heart of the levee. While the police and fire department were responding, another bomb wrecked a saloon at Sixty-Third street and ,Cottage Grove avenue, now managed by Harry Kavanaugh, but formerly owned by John Brennan and “Paddy” Grimes. Another bomb' was touched off the next within a brock of the Twenty-secoEd street police station. The target this time of the bomb thrower was Cossimo Geiaci, who conducts a general Italian wholesale store at 2240 Wentworth avenue. The entire front of his store was demolished and his stock damaged to the amount of SSOO. ( Geiaci and bis family were asleep on the second floor of the building and the force of the explosion threw them from their beds. The children were bruised about the faces in being suddenly thrown to the floor, but the elderly members of the family escaped Injury.
