OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON FRIDAY MORNING. JUNE a. 1910

So'~, ehcH we were given brass

The same transaction in banks here

1t took me exactly forty-ive minutes
to get a bill of exchange in bank at
Nagasagi, but this was an exception

more time for them to transact bust.
ness in Japan banks than in this
country.
The japanese Red Cross training
is very thorough and they are keep.

ages and other supplies so that they
will be ready on short notice to en-.
ter the field. They are also training
large number of nurses who, when
their education is completed, will, we
are told. return to their homes, sub
ject, however, to call at an hours no
tice after two weeks has been given
them to prepare themselves for duty.
Every year these graduate nurses
must report to the doctor in charge
of the Red Cross and 60 through an
examination. This is very thorough;
the chief doctor, for instance, will
claim to be wounded in some portion
OF his anatomy and he will instruct
the nurses to bind it up and if it is
bound improperly, either too tight
or too loose. they are corrected ac.
tordingly. Afterwards he may ask
some of the other nurses to carry him
off the mimic battle field, oftentimes
over fences and other obstructions
and if they do not carry him in such
a manner as to prevent jolting, they
are halted and the proper method il.
lustrated. In this way the Japanese
Red Cross is kept up to a state of eff.
ficiency undoubtedly the highest in
the world.
The rickshaw was invented, not by
the Orientals, but by an American
missionary stationed there, to take
his wife out riding for her health,
and as natural result he evolved the
rickshaw, the definition of which &C.
cordine to information, is "man.
power Wheel" or man. power vehi-

shaw. proceeding along a level road,
you can imagine nothing much more
comfortable, but if you are in one ol
the common IRON tired rickshaws and
going over the cobble-stones, is far
from a pleasure. However the rub.
ber-tired vehicles are rapidly suc-
ceeding the old style. They are ol
light weight, and consequently moi
extra strong, and as ono of the mem.
bers OF our party weighed over 35C
pounds, they were trifle weak for
such a bulk and weight, and seven
rickshaw owners mourn his having
visited fair Japan.
The Japanese feel very friendly TO-
wards the Americans, and war be.
tween them and us is not desired by
the Japanese. The money obtained
BY Japan as indemnity for damages
incurred in the hostilities OF 1865 and
which was returned q few years age
by the American government, has
been used to build o breakwater in
Yokohama, and is o permanent mon.
ument to the fairness of Uncle Sam.
OF all the countries visited, Japan
has been the quaintest and most in
teresting, and no tourist who can
go to the Land Of the Cherry Bios.
som, should fail to do so.

MEAD'S ELECTION CONCEDED
Only Question in Vermont Is Size
Of His Plurality.

morrow of Lieutenant Governor John a.
Mead of Rutland. to the GovernOrship
over Charles y. Watson, Of St Adams. his
Democratic opponent. together with al the
other Republican candidates. with the eX-
cention Of a few Senators and Representa-
tfves. IS expected tonight by both the Re
publican and Democratic managers. They
differ considerably. however in their
claims as TO the size of the Republican
victory, ana in that question lies the prin-
cfpal interest in the biennial election.
The average Republican majority in Yer
mont in off years since 1870 is 1900. while
the average Republican plurality is 2os6o
The Republicans this year freely admit
that they fear party apathy more than
Democratic antaconism. and some of the
leaders say that If there is decided drop
below tie average il VIII be due more TO
dissatisfaction with the candidates than to
disaffectou within the party itself. In fact,
national issues have scarcely been men
toned on the stump. the Democratic guns
being trained straight at Or. Mead.
Chairman Williams Of the Republican
State Committee claimed tonight an aver
age majority for an off year ard perhaps
a trife more and his optimism was shared
by DR. Mead. Chairman Harris of the
Democratic State Committee said tonight
that the Republican majority OF 1900 two
years ago could be cut to less than 10000
tomorrow, ana that his party would make
decisive gains in both branches Of the Leg
islature- The Republican plurality two

often not. The streets were gay with

President kept bowling to the crowds
which lined the streets and cheered him
as he passed that it's question how
much he had a chance 10 see.
Close to the Auditorium he mounted
the reviewing stand before which later
came the Labor Day parade, not a long
one. but one most creditabIe to the city
and its laboring men. a parade replete
with neat uniforms. attractive floats and
banners and indicative of more than
ordinary prosperity among the laboring
men Of St. Paul.
When the Auditorium was reached. d
short time later. the President was
amazed to see the number OF his own
pictures which had been used in the
decoration Of the hall. From over every
arch a ithograph smiled down at the
delegates. most of whom are Pinchot
men. and Mir. Taft remarked TO those
around him that they had told him this
was an insurgent country. but the people
did not seem to have forgotten him 10
this Archbishop ireland replied that It
was a patriotic country. and one that
would never forget its President

greeted in the stand was Secretary VII

an address on soil conservation. When
Mr.. Taft reached the st. Paul Hotel, ne
was welcomed by Miss Mabel Boardman-
who is going 10 speak Of the Red cross

Despite the cordial welcome given the
President to-day, perhaps all the more
because Of il. there IS intense bitterness
on the part Of the Pinchot men Gif-
ford Pinchot absented himself to-day,
going down into Representative Taw-
rty's district 10 make a direct attack on
the chairman Of the Committee on Ap
Dropriations. as the most dangerous
