the roads we're greatly obstructed by

JAPANESE ORG 4NIzATIoN.

Speaking to a war correspondent sew
eral years ago the Baron Ito Miyoji,
then Secretary General of the japanese
Cabinet, said: 81 think our transport
system is as good as any in the world.
We can move troops, as you have seen,
they reach their destinations they find
everything they need at hand-even

try. was in England in 1882 and saw
the snarl into which the British War
Office got things when it was dispatch
ing an army to Egypt. Nothing of
that sort can occur with us. The
Japanese methods of army transporta-
ton are automatic. They are like the
German"
Events have proved the truth of this
boast. Although Great Britain made
another mess of her transport system
in the Boer War and though the United
States did likewise with Skaters ex-
petition In 1888, Japan, for the second
time, has shown the perfect efficiency
Of her service, In month she has
landed 100000 men in Korea The work
has been dorIe with ease and CELEBRITY,
without confusion or noise and with hone
of the embarrassments which, even be-
fore the war began, attended the Rus
sian attempts to establish a large army
in Manchuria.

of war. They have much to learn

urer Wright was given time enough in

needed few hours in which 20 raise

There seems 10 be an impression in Ha-
wall, especially among officials. that
embezzlement is a veniai offence if it
is committed by "a good fellow or by
an Hawaiian and that it can be atoned
for by paying the money back Such
a belief Indicates a low order of public
morality. The Advertiser agrees with
the Governor that it is time to adopt
the American standard of accountable
ity; and while it is heartily sorry that
Andrew Brown is involved in the
Richardson case to the extent of shield
ing the young man from punishment,
it believes that only good can come
from the adoption of the rule that a
crime must be treated as a crime and
not as a peccadillo.

There is sign of a new Russian
Admiral at Port Arthur in the news
that the torpedo boat fiotiIla came out
of that harbor early the other morning
to attack the japanese blockading fleet.
The fiotilla, minus such losses as the
enemy may have already inflicted upon
it, consisted of twenty-nine vessels,
nineteen destroyers and ten ordinary
torpedo boats, formidable force in
expert hands. Evidently the Russians
failed to catch. the Japanese mapping,
for the only success claimed by the
Russians is the destruction of one of
the blockading torpedo boats A de-
stroyer of their own is admitted to
have been lost in the engagement
What the Russians probably found was
& picket line of japanese torpedo boats
between Admiral Togo's fleet and Port
Arthur, the japanese ships being at
distance and in motion. The attack.
however, which may be the precursor of
many more, shows that Admiral Togo
cannot longer count on the demoraliza-
ton of the enemy.

TO stay in Office until he had paid back

with the amazing lenity towards Off
