Government Party in Japan Notes
Unanimity Of Nation Follow
ing Election.

TOXIC. March IS, 1880 amin evil
dence of the unanimity of the nation
on the Chinese question is the fact that
the people have virtually ignored the
election discussions. The government
party claims a majority in the ballot
ing which took place Tuesday. basing
the belief on the friendship OF the in
dependents. The definite results of the
election have been ascertained, how
ever. The outcome is not expected to
influence Japan's general policy, but 1t
is believed that a government victory
would give the ca binet freer hand in
the negotiations with China.
Returns from the cities indicate gains
for the government.
The officially inspired newspapers ex-
press confidence that Washington will
be satisfied with Japan's explanation
of her demand on China-the Times
that it sees little occasion to grow
petulant over the American note,
