JAPAN MUST WIN.
Most of the Fighting Must Be Done
at Sea.

st. Louis, Aug. flames M. Rollins,
a newspaper man of this city who re-
Gently returned from a three years
stay in Japan, during which time he
was associated with japanese soldiers
and Travelled considerably throughout
that country and on the Corean coast,
said to an Associated Press reporter:
Japan will without doubt come off
victorious over China in the present
struggle. If numbers amounted to
much, Japan would not be a morsel for
China, as there are 100000 900 Chinese
and only 40,00O00O Japanese.
Because of the vast expanse of
water over there the most of the fight
ing must necessarily be done at sea.
oughly organized. Their soldiers are
brave and disciplined. Japan has culled
from every nation the cream of modern
warfare and has the sympathy of the
civilized world.
''On the other hand, China is a coun-
try Of superstition and laziness. 1t has
some large war vessels, but they have
not been well kept and are dirty and
poorly prepared for an engagement
Chinese soldiers are patriotic, but are
not disciplined The two engagements
already reported prove this statement.
The largest man-of-war in the Chinese
navy has already been sunk and thou
sands Of Chinese lost their lives, while
hardly a scratch was felt by the Japan
csc. The fact that China has a land
inlet to Corea win not amount to much
in the present struggle, as any number
of Chinese soldiers would not avail on
Corean soil before an open fire of the
japanese feet. The Japanese could
rout the Chinese army from nearly any
Torean city by means of their fleet, as
the sea touches on all sides of that
country. My theory is that if a pro-
longed war should follow, China
might whip Japan by sheer force of
numbers, as China could swarm the
japanese islands like locusts, and it
would not matter much if even a half
million Chinese lost their lives in the
attempt But in this event Russia or

Washington, D. c., Aug. 1.-[Special.]
Dubois and other western
senator's succeeded in placing 100000
in the sundry civil bill for the survey
of public lands.
Dubois hardly hopes for success in
the House, but believes the greater
part of the amount will be allowed to
remain.
Another amendment incorporated pro-
vides that states, Utah inclusive, when
a governor is elected and inaugurated,
may advance moneys for surveys of
lands reserved for such states, and
shall be reimbursed. This will greatly
facilitate the disposal Of the granted
lands, and the House will undoubtedly
allow it to stand.

in a spectacular suicide tonight. He

sight-seers, slowly drew a revolver and
with a smile on his face, blew his brains
out and dropped into the lake.
His conduct had not been unusual up

FAIR WAY OF SETTLEMENT.
Friction Between Ranchers and In
dams is Nearly Over.

Washington, Aug. 1.-Governor
Hughes, of Arizona, who is here, states
that the long standing friction between
the Navajo Indians and ranchers and
stoclSmen is in fair way of settle
ment. His efforts to have the San Car
los coal fields cut off from the White
Mountain Indian reservation will, he
believes, result in the coal fields being
segregated and thrown open to the
public for settlement and development.
All the Arizona legislatures during the
past ten years, by joint resolution, and
all governors in their annual reports
have urged the segregation of these
coal fields. there being no other coal
within 300 miles.
