A GENUINE SURPRISE

To most Of the world the remarkable
victory won by the Japanese land
forces comes as a thorough surprise.
About all that it knew of the military
qualities OF the race lay in precon-
ceiYed ideas. Japan has had but two
opportunities to demonstrate herself in
action. The Chinese war really did not
count, because the enemy was so alb
sardly incapable. Her part In the oc-
cupation of China following the Boxer
uprising was creditably played. but
that was rather a show affair. II

ninety-nine out of every hundred crit
les, remembering the desperate valor Of
Russian troops in the Crimean war
and the war with Turkey, and having
in mind the fact that the Japanese
army was az least untried against apy
modern nation. would have given the
odds of victory to Russia.
For this reason the land success of
Japan is immensely more impressive
and more significant than her victories
at sea. There she certainly had pri-
mary advantage in familiarity with the
element. with the machinery Of war
ships and with the alphabet of naval
service. On land she was an untried
quantity, and the most that was ex-
peeted of her was galiantry and dash.
Instead OF that her troops have pushed
forward week after week steadily into

Court Gets Deep in the Trial Of Tyner

crosS-eXamlned the witness in regard
20 ms testimony as to the procedure in
lottery cases and the rule by which
fraud orders are recommended The
witness said that the cases of susnen-
sion reported from the Office Of the
fourth assistant postmaster general
were first submitted to Huebner a
member of the office force.
Hayes Morgan, formerly a clerk in
the office of the assistant attorney gen
eral for the pOstoffice department
Identified list which he had prepared
OF bond investment companies which
were under examination at the request
OF Mr.. Barrett. Letters were received
from concerns, said the witness in re-
gard to whether certain companies
would be permitted to use the mails so
long as they made no new contracts
Mr.. Morgan answered these letters in
the absence of Messrs. Christiancy and
Barrett, basing a negative reply on the
general opinion which had previously
O0eIi ISSUED Dy MT barrett concerning
bond investment companies.
When Mr.. Barrett and Mr. Chris
tiancy returned, Mr.. Morgan told
them of his answer to the letters, and
he was informed that he had taken the
wrong view of the situation. The let
ters were then recalled and modified by
the dictation of Gen. Tyner, who in
formed the companies that they would
be permitted to continue the use of the
mails until the department ordered
otherwise and fixed the date when such
use should cease. The witness said
that Mr.. Barrett had most to do with
the bond investment companies and
that he assisted Mr.. Barrett in the
work.
Mr.. Morgan detailed a conversation
between himself and Gen. Tyner to
show the latter's attitude toward the
bond investment companies. Gen. Ty-
ner was reported to have expressed
the opinion that some Of the companies
had broken their promises to the de-
partment, and if such were the case
the companies should be dealt with
criminalIy. "Gen. Tyner decided to
send me-" said Mr.. Morgan, Ito make
a general investigation to determine
just what companies were living up to
their agreements to change their plans
Of business SO that they would be in
compliance Of law"
Mr.. Morgan had not finished his tes-
tirnony when the court adjourned.

INCIDENTS OF THE VOTE.

An examination of the details Of the
vote as published down to the last
figure in T he Clio b yesterday morn
ing is worth while. Several interest
ing and valuable lessons may be
learned therefrom, and some prevailing
misconceptions corrected.
The vote for assemblymen shows to
what remarkable extent the people
Of the city went outside political pref
erences and exercised the privilege of
Independent voting. One Republican
candidate for the assembly slipped in
over his lowest Democratic competitor.
Mr.. Keller's great popularity stood him
in good stead, and it is not the fault
of Mr.. Giesen, whose fitness is unex-
celled and whose defeat is 1amented on
all sides, that he happened to fall a
trifie below the leading Republican
candidate. The closeness of the vote
for several Of the assemblymen, how
ever, shows that the independent voter
was out in full strength. BY the same
argument it will appear that the spIen-
did Endorsement given to the heads Of
the ticket voiced the judgment of in
dependent voters, as we'll as straight
Democrats, upon this administration.
The same hard fighting is found in
the vote for aldermen in the several
wards. Leaving out the Seventh,
where there was no contest, the old
time big maJorities in party strong
holds are swept away. The biggest
majority anywhere was only a little
over 600 votes. The largest in proper
ton to the total is found out in the Elev-
enth ward, where Mr.. Lynch appears
TO be still running. The redemption OF
the First ward by Mr.. Nyberg was the
surprise of the campaign and was a.
magnificent victory
The only Democratic loss suffered
anywhere was in the Tenth ward.
where Mr.. Dobner went to an easy de-
feat by his opponent This was due
partly to the fact that Mr.. Hackney is
an extremely suitable and popular
man, whose presence in the council
will be distinct gain, and more par
ticularly to the fact that Mr.. Dobner
has been so closely associated in the
past in his aldermanic capacity with
the Twin City Rapid Transit company
that it probably cost him his seat. IT
Will be well for all other members. old
and new, Of the council to bear this
in mind, and to stand with the people
and their interests as against the corr
poration that has received such enor-
nous favors and repaid them by high
fares and grudging concessions or out
right refusals as to service.
The more one looks into it the more
he concludes that Tuesday was a great
day for the American system of indie
pendent judgment and fair play. The
hope of 7 he Clio first, last and
all the time was expressed more than
once by it's motto, MAY the best man
win" Looking at the general result
we can say very emphaticalIy that he
did, and are happy accordingly.

at once that, the day of the battleship
