A sEATTLETTE IN JAPAN.
Eugene Leddy Describes Scenes In the
Asiatic Empires Metropolis.


Eugene B. Leddy. who sailed April
on the steamer Victoria for Yokohama,
Japan, has written the following interest
ing letter. under date of April IS. to
friend in this city. giving his impressions
OF the place and the people:
after sixteen days at sea We arrived
in Yokohama bay. We had very bad
weather most OF the way. IL being cold
and windy. Capt Pantom. of the yicto-
ria took course away up north within
a few miles of the Aleutian islands. The
climate was not feeling its best The
rigging for few days was covered with
ice and snow, and we looked like an At
lantic liner running into New York bay.
Yokohama is a very pretty town as one
views 1t from the bay. The business Por-
ton is situated in the valley, and large
bluffs surrounding make 1t very pretty
sight. 1t appears as IL the town was en-
closed with high walls. On these bluffs
the Europeans live. In most yards trop-
ical plants of all kinds are growing. The
view from these bluffs is grand. as one
can see the city below also the harbor
and shipping, and at times the famous
Full mountain Back from the coast the
farms would make an American farmer
sick. All the farms look like parks, and
on them all kinds OF the finest vegetables
are raised. The rice fields are in the val
leys and are not SO pretty, but rice re-
quires wet ground.
LAS TO the chances for young man,
all agree that none should come unless
they have position assured. The Jap
anese do most all of the work and work
for nothing. They are just as good clerks
as you can find in the world. Most of
them have been educated at the univer-
sity at Tokyo and speak good English.
You would be surprised to see the off,
Gals from all the different governments
of the world hanging around the Grand
hotel, playing billiards and drinking. 1t
reminds one OF chickens waiting around
farm house door for their breakfast
All these officials are here in the inter
est OF their governments waiting to see
how the war turns out, and If the Japan
csc head swells too large to stick pin
and let out some of the swell. Japanese
and Cinnamon have many street fights
There is good chance here for some live
restaurant man to open hrst-class grill
room. The foreign population is about
LOO. They all have money and are will
ing to spend 1t for anything good to eat
or drink.
1T is understood that some Seattle cap
ital is interested in an electric road be-
tween Yokohama and Tokyo"
Mr.. Leddy encloses a clipping from the
Yokohama Daily Advertiser saying that
a charter has been applied for by this
company. which has a capital of 1000, 600
yen. The line will be double-traeked
eighteen miles long. standard gauge, and
cars viii run thirty miles an hour.

SEATTLE. FRIDAY. MAY 81.
VOTING BY MACHINERY.

The New York press lis united on the YER
Diet that the Myers ballot machine is
success. 1t has just been tried at Mount
Vernon, In that state. and the most salts
factory thing about the test Is that II re-
corded Republican victory. As its accu-
racy Is not questioned, II has an additional
recommendation to those who believe in a
fair count.
The favor with which IL has been re-
ceived promises that 1t will eventually
supersede the paper ballot. The cost. $50.
may delay it's general adoption. but tie
saving I'm expense OF clerks and the salts
faction IT affords are strong points in fits
favor.
The machine consists OF a sheet-steel
cabinet. five feet square and seven feet
high. IL is lighted inside by lamp or gas.
II In placed In the polling booth. The
voter on entering the election place quail
fles by giving his name and residence. and
this Is recorded and checked by the inspec-
tors or clerks. He is then admitted inside
the railing. and the inspector at the door
of no machine admits him alone inside as
soon as the last voter has pasesd out. A
clock in front Of the recorder then starts
up to record the time he is inside. and
stops when he comes out.
At the Mount Vernon election there
were six tickets. each having thirty-hve
candidates. Against each name was a
button. or plug by pressing which the
Tod eb,fr as,fx
ticket was distinguished by a color-Dem-
ocratic. yellow: Republican. red: Prohi-
bilfonsst, blue: ard the other local tickets
were mauve. crushed strawberry and
ultramarine green Two machines were
used I'm each ward. The polls opened at
3 o'clock In the morning. and the voting
went OH until 9 in the evening. The
rate at which the voting was done in the
forenoon at one election district was $50
an hour. and by actual count fifteen per-
sons voted iu sevcn minutes. They were
allowed one minute to vote. II they
wished TO consume that much time, but
as there were only three persons TO be
voted for In any dlstrict-that Is for SUI
pervisor. assessor and one alderman-it
did not take long TO press the three knobs
opposite the names tho voter wished 70
support. Ten minutes after the last vote
was cast the result was known at each
polling place.
The opportunity was taken Of making
the test at a place where the voting was
light. In order 10 afford time 20 have the
ballots cast in the usual way II anything
