YOKOHAMA, Oct., 18.—Storm-bat
tered but magnificent, the American
battleship fleet lies in the harbor, the
entire assemblage making a display
unprecedented In the history of Yoko
hama. Shortly after th* ship# came
to anchor, the mist, which had shut
out their coming, cleared and a light
breeze carried away the emoke of the
saluting guns, reveallnr from the shore
front the lines of the white American
ships of war. backed by the gray of
the Japanese. Scores of small craft
chartered by Individuals and associa
tions darted in and out among the
the heartiest welcome. The thousand
school children sang the American na
tional anthem, the sound of the sing
ing reaching far over tthe waters.
The ships show the effect of the tre
mendous battering by the waves which
la described by old: officers as the
worst they have ever encountered. The
Kearsarge, which got separated from
the fleet, only picked up tho others
early this morning, and Is still under
going repairs. Rear Admiral Sperry
said Immediately after anchoring that
he was glad to arrive in Japan, and
that 'he greatly appreciated the evi
dences of a sincere welcome, the ar
rangements for which appeared to be
perfect.
Courtesies Exchanged.
The moment the fleet dropped anchor
the admirals In formal dress, hastened
from the flagships of the various divi
sions to the flagship of the fleet, the
Connecticut, which also was boarded
by Japanese subordinate officers who
came to arrange details. Shortly the
commander-ln-chlef and the other ad
mirals, accompanied by their staffs,
entered a motorboat and proceeded to
the flagship Mlkasa of the Japanese
fleet, to pay an official call upon Vice
Admiral Sir Gero IJuln. The JaL
admirals immediately returned the call

Tha Relations of Husband and Wife.
In tha October American Magaslno
Professor W. I. Thomas, of Chicago
University, wrltea tho first of a now
series of articles on women. Of the
relations of husband and wife, Profes
sor Thomas says:
"An examination of what we call
happy marriages shows very generally
that they do not, except for the com
mon Interest of children, rest on tho
true comradeship of like minds, but
represent an equilibrium reached
through an extension of the maternal
Interest of the woman to the mnn.
whereby she looks after his personal
needs as the does after those of the
children—cherishing, him, In fact, as
a child—or In an extension to woman
on the part of ths man of that nurture
and affection which Is In his nature
to give to pets and all helpless (and
preferably dumb) creature*. .
nhvlouniy a more solid bails of aa
soclatlon Is necessary than either of
these two Instinctively based compro-i
misrs. What th* man and woman
need In this connection Is to com* Into

As the outcomo of a consultation with
the manufacturer* the promoters of
t^ie bill now befora parliament have
the same general world of Interest,
at least to let their worlds touch and
overlap, and this much common
ground would bo secured through the
pursuit on the part of woman of an
art of her own choosing and the con
sequent development of an Interest In
principles apart from persons. With

gulnlierl from talk—and I should re
gard an occupational Interest for wo
men a* of value mainly In bringing

his practical activities have given him
the habit of reproducing his effects
along reasonable lines, or at any rate

The fact that ths presses of publish-
