RUSSIA AND JAPAN. UMORS of w rife so long in but little heed 1s given when a new one rises and runs its course. Consequently the strained rela- tions Russia and Japan and the oiten re- peated announcements that they are going to fight arc so common and have been s .that peaceful world of ow R between has had little effect upon the public mind It has been beliéved that in these days when the concert of Europe is so powerful and the influence of the United States is so strong a war between two powers of im- portance is well nigh impossible. Nevertheless it appears that we may have before the vear is over another proof that it is always the unexpected that happens. Russia is pouring troops into Manchuria, Japan is arming, and the situation is so serious that Secretary Hay is reported to have deemed it Wdvisable or him to intervene and make an effort to avert war. If the war come it will find neither country pre- pared for it and neither government desirous of it Both Japan and Russia are troubled by a lack of A costly war would be a heavy disaster to the victor as well as to the vanquished, and wars in mor these days of heavy armnaments are of necessity costly. The British found that with the Boers, and the financiers of the world have taken due note of the fact. Still it has been said by Burke that history affords no instance of a high spirited people delaying war on account of a lack of money, nor of When men get ready to fight they will fight, money or no money, and it looks as if the Japanese and the Russians weré rapidly getting into that frame of mnd The people of Japan are convinced that their wel- fare depends upon keeping the Russians out of Korea at all hazards and out of Manchuria if possible. They out in their war one being beaten because of such a lack, do not relish the establishment of a great military | power on the coast opposite to their islands any more than we would relish the upbuilding of a strong Euro- pean military power in Mexico. Furthermore they- are convinced that if the fight is to come it will be well for Japan to force it at once, as shg is now about as strong as she can hope to be, while Russia will gain in strength as the years pass. Japanese jealousy of Russia, however, is not greater than Russian jealousy of Japan. A Russian news- paper published in Siberia and supposed to represent the opinion of the Government recently said: “Why is mot this hysterical demand for Russian evacuation of Manchuria accompanied by an equally peremptory | | machine. protest against the continued presence of Japanese troops .in Korea® In Seoy) the Korean Government is overawed and Koreans are oppressed by Japanese soldiery. This fact is perfectly well known in London and Washington. We are asked to evacuate Inkan forthwith. Russia will listen to the request when the Japanese withdraw from Chemulpo, Mosampo and Zinanpo.” 1 Forty years ago a quarrel of this kind between two such nations as Japan and ‘Russia would have been regarded by the civilized world with indifference, or at Jeast with nothing more than the interest which mankind always feels in a fight of any kind whether between two nations or a bull and a bear. That time has passed. The ties of commerce and of finan- cial interest have become cosmopolitan, London, Paris, Berlin and New York would be affected by a war in Mancheria or Korea almost as much as St. Petersburg or Yokohama. Furthermore there are political and military alliances reaching out from the Orient to Western Europe that have to be taken into account. Under certain conditions France might be called upon to send her fleets to the assistance of Russia, and should that happen Great ‘Britain would be bound to help Japan. The war once begun might therefore spread and become a very great war indeed. Hence Europe no longer watches those far off quar- rels with indifference. Nor does the United States. Hence the promptness of Secretary Hay to offer his services in the intefest of peace.

Looking back upon his beloved country in per- spective he saw something going on which imme- diately alarmed him. The President proposes an extra session of Congress to deal, among other things, with the problem of emergency currency and its distribution so that business men can economi- cally use their credit remote from the financial &n- Iters. The keen gye oi Mr. William Randolph“Hearst | immediately detected a plot. One of the currency bills before Congress were introduced by Senator Al- drich, whose daughter is the wife of John D.

In fact, qutside a limited circle of scientists, there is no very sanguine hope of the speedy attainment of aerial navigation by means of a machine heavier than the air and driven in its flight by an engine which it carries with it. For a long time there has been a more or less’ heated controversy between the advocates of dirigible balloons and the supporters of the fheory that the navigation of the zir can be effected only by a flying In the argument the scientists have had the best of it. Men of eminence like Professor Lang- ley, Professor Bell and Sir Hiram Maxim have given can never be much more than a toy, while the flying machine may be eventually made capable, of carrying a considerable weight through the air and of holding to its course against a heavy wind. Meantime the dirigible balloon men, though beaten in argument, have had a large measure of success in the field of experiment. Santos Dumont, Lebaudy and others have actually directed their balloons through the air, have made considerable trips and r‘turned in safety to the place of starting. Their balloons may not be of much use for commercial furposes, but they have certainly served to show that a balloon can be guided in a definite course through the air and is not com- pletely subject to the course of an ordinary wind. Recent reports from Paris are to the effect that the sailing of dirigible balloons around the city has become so common that the police authorities have found it* necessary to establish regulations for the use of balloons just 2s for the use of automobiles. It is announced furthermore that pleasure trips in balloons is becoming one of the fads of the day, and 2 company has been organized to establish a line of balloons for trips over and around the city. Santos Dumont has declared a conviction that it is now pos- sible to coustruct a dirigible balloon capable of crossing the Atlantic and carrying passengers. He 'gnsist- that if a balloon as big as one of the great tlantic liners were constructed it would prove suc- cessful and would soon command all first-class pas- senger traffic, leaving to the water boats only freight business and steerage travel. The general public will leave the controversy as to the comparative merits of the two methods of seek- ing aerial navigation to the experts on either side. Judgment will be pronounced not upon argument, but upon the results of experiment. At present the scientists have shown by clear reasoning that a diri- gible balloon cannot equal an aeroplane or an aero- drome, but in the field of actual achievement they have pocket! It is an inspiration! have seen this plot, what other nose smelled it, what other ear heard it! It will be observed that in revealing it Mr. William Randolph Hearst has pointed plainly the way to the undoing of Rockefeller.” Instead of giving that per- nicious person more money to put in his pocket knock him out by abolishing money entirely! When that is done the currency which Mr. William Ran- dolph Hearst sees bulging out his pockets will be of no value and John D. Rockefeller will have to hit the pike and live on handouts. This is genius. We have now two planks made"by Mr. William Randolph Hearst, like the man made his pig trough, out of his own head. They are:’ Resolved, That department- stores are a cherished Jeffersonian Democratic principle. A Resolved, That to abolish capitalists capital must be abelished.

It filed a statement of its business with me, but 1 was not satisfled with certain entries. 1 asked for an explanation, but the one given me was still unsatisfactory. I have not fefused to grant a license to the company, but feel that I cannot do so until certain things are explained to me. When Wolf was asked to give his spe- cific reasons for declining to lssue a li- ecense he replied that he did not care to make them public at this time. He said: 1 am not satisfled with the statement of the company and until I am I cannot issue the . 1 presume that the iaw allows me to use my discretion in the matter, but I am prepared to make my reasons kmown when this matter comes into eourt.

We filed our applica- tion with WQif and also a. copy of our financial statement. his statement had been passed upon by Francis Hendricks, superintendent of insurance of New York.
