THE SEA-FARING JApS.

The growth of Japan's navy is no
more wonderful than that of it's mer-
chant fleet. Up to 1870 there was none,
if we accept a few coastwise trading
junks. In 1892 there were 214,000 tons
of modern shipping. That has increas-
ed in ten years to 934,000 tons in 1902,
and the Japanese merchant fleet is
soon to take, if it has not yet taken,
seventh place among the worlds peace
navies. The growth of the merchant
fleet was most rapid about the time of
the Chinese war, rising from 4S6,000
tons in 1897 to 100000 in 1899. Only
Great Britain, the United States, Ger
many, France, Norway and Italy surpass
the shipping of Japan. The japanese
merchant fleet is even greater than our
own foreign fleet. 1t is our enormous
coastwise shipping that places us sec
ond to Great Britain in total. Japan's
naval vessels are all commanded by
Japs and the Port Arthur event seems
to indicate that they are commanded

IOWA'S DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS.
MAN.

A dispatch from Washington, date of
the 18th, has the following to say Of
Congressman M. S. Wade, from Iowa,
the only democrat Iowa has in congress:
In the house today Wade (democrat),
of Iowa, spoke on the talif question
and reciprocity with Canada.
"Wade, speaking of the attitude Of
the people Of his state toward the tariff,
quoted from a communication which
he said was sent to Mr.. Henderson by
the republicans of Iowa, when he was
speaker, appealing for a revision of the
tariff schedules, and quoted from the
last inaugural address Of lowa's gov
ernor. The people of Iowa and the
northwest have changed their tariff
views, he said. He has seen a state
ment that the department of justice
was waiting for a formal complaint,
alleging violation of injunctions by
beef concerns before taking. action. If
they will go beyond the Mississippi, he
said, they we'll find all the complaints
they want.
"Wade grew eloquent as he predicted
democratic success and was loudly APP
plauded by the minority. He illustrated
many of his points with stories which
provoked laughter on both sides of the
house. He was given close attention
throughout"

1t has been we'll said that no nation
ton earth can make war so cheaply as
Japan. This was demonstrated in the
invasion of China. It's troops are hardy
and contented. They need little food
and clothing. They do not linger in
hospital and they take good care Of
their equipments. The Japanese staff
is thrifty beyond western conception.
1t makes every dollar count. The
Japanese are densely ignorant of the
western art of getting rich out of army
contracts or the peculiar Russian art Of
diverting money appropriated for army
supplies into their pockets. The high
patriotism of the nation serves it as
effectively in financial affairs as in the
stricken field.

HOW THE WAR NEWS COMES.

Few of the newspaper readers who
will read today's war news direct from
the seat of war in their evening papers
tonight are likely to consider the i'm
mense amount Of labor and money ex-
pended to inform them of the events
which have taken place on the opposite
side of the earth since the sun rose this
morning. To those it may prove inter
esting to know how the news of bat
tie this morning travels the $4,000 miles
it must traverse before it arrives at
their supper tables.
The news of naval battle between
the warning fleets put in motion by the
key of the operator in far Nagasaki will
instantly plunge under the eastern sea
and come to land in China, near Shang-
hi, 476 miles away. Then that little
throb will work southwark round the
China coast to Hong Kong 945 miles. At
Hong Kong it will dive under the China
sea to Saigon, in Anam, 951 miles; from
Saigon it will cross the bed of the sea
to Singapore, 626 miles. Or it might go
by way Of Labuan, Borneo, 1871 miles.
Through the Malacca strait to Pan
ang 1913 miles, and then it takes great
plunge westward through the wild Nico-
bar and under the tropic Bengal sea,
1889 miles, to Madras. At Madras it
will take to the land until it comes to
Bombay.
Here it takes to the water again,
traversing the broad Arabian sea to
Alden, 1850 miles, threads it's way up
the Red sea to Alexandria, 1854 miles.
From Alexandria it will travel beneath
the Mediterranean sea to Malta, out to
Lisbon, and SO to London, 3,205 miles
and thence across the Atlantic to the
United States to be distributed to the
readers Of the daily newspapers which
take Associated Press reports.
War is expensive to newspapers as it
is to nations. The cost of war news is
enormous. Every word of this news
compressed into telegraphic code costs
two-thirds Of dollar. A dispatch OF
200 words, about one-sixth of column
in the ordinary newspaper, represents a
telegraph bill of $130. A big battle
draws on the treasures of the news
papers as it does on the resources OF
the combatants. The 65-cent per word
rate is reduced press rate. Private
kilograms over the same route cost So
per word.

The valued policy insurance bill is
again before the legislature, and ought
to become law. There is no reason
why an insurance company, which in
sures property, should not in case of
total loss be compelled to pay the full
face of the policy written on the stock
destroyed. The company has collected
the premium for the risk, and in case Of
loss should pay what it has collected
for. No agent should write a risk for
more than the company will pay in case
of loss.-Ottumwa Democrat.
