From the Japan ese we fear nothing. They are civilized and conduct themselves like Europeans.
 "There is a thick, murky, typoonish threatening iu the atmosphere just now and it looks very much as if the Jap anese were going to succeed in carrying out their threat to capture Pekin. They are getting nearer every day and the palace eunuchs are in dreadful funk. It all hangs now on one thing-can the Japanese stand the freezing winters of north China, so terrible compared to the beautiful, balmy climate of the eastern isles?
