JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS
HOW HE DISCIPLINED UNRULY
 DEMOCRATIC MINORITY.
Persuasion His Method-Brilliant Mississippi Congressman Speaks
 Well, Dresses Carelessly and Writes Amateur Verses.

Washington Special to New York Times. To have transformed a bucEing, stam- peding mob into a disciplined and sol- dierly army-to have transformed that which for six years was the Democratic minority in the House into that which Is the Democratic minority. to-day-is q feat of political generalship which must excite interest in the man who performed 1t. To have done that in the space of five days suggests the return of the age of miracles. That the man who did 1t was a man who never before had been suspected of talents for leadership, and whose selection for the captaincy was the signal for head-shaking among the wiseacres, makes the event stand out boldly from all party congratulations of the past. Hence Is it that John Sharp Williams of Mississippi is one of the most interesting men in the country to-day.
 The condition of the Democratic minor- ity in the House from the time of Charles F. Crisp's death and the defeat Of Bryan is a matter of National notoriety, Chaos is its best word of description. A blow ing, snorting herd of Texas steers, sud- denly released from all restraint, is its nearest analogue. Bailey's nominal lead ership was fiouted and shattered by the men he attempted to lead. Under him 1t was every man for himself. Richardson was recognized as leaoer, put undsr nm the minority was a nerveless, wrangling, disorganized. undlsciplined mob, which could not by aEy possibility be united for anything except the River and Harbor bill.
 This condition grew worse and worse as the years went on, until the country had lost all respect for the minority and 1t had none for itself On the Democratic side there was no longer party; there was only a horde Even the Republicans who at first had rejoiced at the plight of their enemies, began to wish for a re- spectacle and worthy body of opposition. There were perils for the majority in having no opposition worth the name
 An Unknown Quality.

The Togo Kisen Kaisha Company's
steamer America Maru came into port
yesterday morning, II days from Yoko-
hama After quarantine inspection she
steamed around to Mission Bay, where
she came to anchorage. She was COM
PEELED to do this because there would
be no berth for her at the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company's dock until the
Gaelic departs tomorrow. The tug
Sea King brought the passengers
ashore and landed them on the wharf
at 2:30 p. m. The America Maru on ar
rival in Japan on her last trip from
here, was turned over to the japanese
Government to be used in case of need
as transport ship. She was laid up
awaiting war developments, but no al
terations were made on her. The Gov
ernment concluded in April that 1t had
no use for her, so she was released
and restored to her original owners,
who Immediately put her back on her
own route. Her sister ships, the Hong
kong Maru and the Nippon Maru are
still in the service of the japanese
Government.
Captain Woodus Greene reports that
during the voyage they experienced
changeable gales and rough seas and

Nmasted ship bound in an opposite di-
rection. This was in latitude "a n.

There were also fourteen sprightly
Geisha girls, in charge of T. CANA
guchi, who will go to st. Louis to en-
trance the visitors to the Exposition
with their graceful dancing and
almond-shaped eyes. They were a
fetching looking lot and attracted at
tention as they gayly scrambled on the
dock in their brilliant Oriental cos
tunes. A company of Japanese aero
bats of all sizes, ages and shapes
helped to enliven the life on shipboard
on the way across. They go to Glen

EAGER FOR WAR NEWS
Resignation of the Repre-

Effect When Presented

Among the passengers on the steam
ship America Maru, which arrived yes
terday, was a party of distinguished
japanese Government representatives,
who have been sent to this country and
Europe on various missions. The more
prominent of the visitors is Viscount
n. Matsudaira, a member of the Peers.
He is on his way to The Hague, but he
declines to state the real purpose OF his
visit to that city. Another of the party
is Djo kawamura, director of the Civil
and Criminal Bureau of the Japanese
Department of Justice, who is to make
tour of this country for the purpose
OF gathering data regarding penal in
stitutions on this side of the Pacific.
Accompanying Kawamura is K. Kano-
kogi, chief of the Japanese Commune
cation Bureau of Formosa,. and It.
Yama Guchi, representing the Govern
ment and the tea exporters of Toxic.
In discussing the war in the Far East
Viscount Matsudaira said last evening
that the people of the United States
are receiving more news from the
scenes Of battle than the natives of the
island empire. He added:
Though the Japanese people have been en-
deavoring in every way to place themselves
on footing with other and greater nations.
and have succeeded in many respects. 1 must
candidly confess that they have not yet shown
the enterprise of the American and English
people in the getting of news of their war
and giving ii fresh to their own people. Dur
ing my short stay in Honolulu and since my
arrival here, this morning. / have read more
news about the Japanese Russian war than
was able to obtain in a whole week in Toxic.

country and here regarding the lateness of
the arrival from the front of news concerning
the movements of our navies and armies. You
generally get your first tips regarding battles

the fact that the news from our forces has TO
be brought long distance by our vessels.

this mission has again proved the eX-

When the mission first crossed the
Jelap-la mule slipped in the dusk and
fell into the lake at the bottom of the
pass 1t was thought to be drowned
Next morning a convoy found it with
it's nose just above the ice, the rest of
it's body literally frozen in. Pickaxes
were brought and the animal was dug
out. 1t is now working as usual. -
