that Of varying building construction

Resistance to earthquake, moreover,

us information that will be utilized to
unreasonable advantage not only in
the rebuilding |of that city, but in
building elsewhere.

The cable dispatches from Rome tell
of notable achievement by the
United States in the universal postal
congress in session there where on
motion of Edward Rosewater, repre-
senting this government, an additional
vote in the congress is accorded us in
recognition of our island possessions.
The postal congress is an International
body in which each government,
through it's delegates. acts as a unit
with but one vote. Giving the United
States two votes therefore not only
doubles its representation and inhu-
ence in the transactions of the con-
gress, but also constitutes a concession
to us as a world power-a position
which we did not occupy in 80 eminent
a degree when the worlds postal con-
gress last met in 1897, being before the
Spanish-American war. and the terri
toTial expansion that followed. The

barment is lifted. without going into
the merits OF the case we commend the
supreme court for it's action, which
should set salutary example to those
lawyers who too often get close to the
shady line of questionable practices.
The lawyers have the discipline OF
black sheep within their own control,
but usually they seldom get further
than a whitewashing report by a bar
committee apologizing for some piece
of wrong-doing and admonishing
against committing it again. The law

The work OF the army at San Fran
cisco more than warrants every word
of commentator spoken by General
Funston in review OF il. The generals
summary is brief and modest, but the
simple statement he makes, that 200,-
600 people, made homeless and penni-
less in a day. have been fed and shell
tered for two weeks and no man,
woman or child has gone hungry, sug-
gests the prodigious task which has
been accomplished mainly by the regu-
lar army. Few who are not eye wit
resses are capable. of conceiving the
magnitude of such a labor II is safe
to say that without the help of the
army such success would have been
almost impossible, and there would
have been untold suffering from
hunger before relief could have come
and been made practically available.
Extraordinary as is the feat per-
formed by the officers and troops in
subsisting the population of great
city, under such conditions, that is
only part OF the splendid record. They
also supplied the only Arm basis for
organization, preventing panic and
lawless outbreak, fighting fire, saving
property and person from depreciation,
caring for the sick and hurt, establish
ing sanitary camps and in short taking
the lead and doing the main work in
restoring public order. To save life
and prevent human suffering on so
grand a scale is a far nobler mission
for the soldier than winning bloody
victories on the battle field.

Ny. co.'s WAR RECORD.

kondo Rempei president OF the Nip
pom Yusen Kaisha Co, in an address
at a general meeting of the company
made the following statement of its
war service:
For purpose of comparison I will
state the records of the recent war and
of that with China SO far as concerns
the use OF the company's vessels for
transport purposes. During the war
just ended OR ships carried 1870, coo
men OF all ranks, $4,000 horses and
about 1,86G,000 tons of material. During
the war WITH CHINA they carried SO, 500
men. 4G,0G0 horses and $4,000 tons OF
material. Thus as between the two
wars there WAS q difference CT 75e, coo
men, 64.oUo horses and 1.540 Geo tons.
AS 10 the number OF our ships employ
ed, they were 20 in the recent war.
with an aggregate displacement of
250.0C0 tons, against 55 In the China
Japan war with displacement of 9s,-
600 tons. which last figure does not
amount to the total tonnage of one half
Of our present fleet. Further, in the
China war the largest of our ships did
not exceed 5000 tons. whereas in the last
war we had II vessels of 5000 tons and
over. their total displacement being
Ice, 600 tons. These II steamers were
all of similar form and equal speed, and
being thus capable of carrying at one
time a large force of men and a great
quantity of war material it is unques-
tionable that they afforded signal ia
cilitieS in the conduct of the campaign
Indeed, had these II vessels been re-
moved from the feet of transports, it
may well be doubted whether the con-
veyance OF troops and stores could have
been managed satisfactorily. Happily,
at that great crisis We were able TO
place at the service of the State these
homogeneous vessels. The company
may congratulate itself that it thus
succeeded in discharging, to some small
extent its duties and responsibilities to
the Empire and that, by acting as the
navy's assistant and as the army's
hands and feet, it achieved the con-
stant purpose of its existence.
