ORIENTAL AFFAIRS.
Russfa's Demand on japan Has Caused
Bitterness Against Europeans.


SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 16.-Advices by
mail from Toxic. Japan, dated Sept. 27.
state that Japan has been forced to COM
ply with Russia's demand for a speedy
withdrawal OF the Japanese troops from
the Lao Tung peninsula France and Ger
many joined in the demand, and the Jap
anese government was In no position to
defy three European powers. The an
nouncement Of Russia's purpose took Japan
by surprise. This proceeding has caused
renewed bitterness in Japan against Euro
peans. The, Japanese also charge their
own Ministry with connivins at the ma
tion's dishonor.
A feeling OF hostility toward foreigners
in China Is said To be rapidly increasing.
Additional atrocities are feared. The pro-
ceedings at Ku-Cheng are conducted with
fragrant defiance of justice and order. The
central government seems powerleSs to as
sert Its authority, even IL genuinely in
clined to do so. The American residents
who appealed to Washington for the ap-
pointment OF a commission to investigate
the Sze-Chuan outrages are beginning to
doubt the expediency of that measure.
The Sze-Chuan affair is almost forgotten
since the occurrence of the deeper tragedy,
and 1t is felt what energy is shown by
the United States government should be d.
rected TO a more useful purpose than the
apportionment of damages for missionary
property destroyed. Immediate action of a
much more decided nature Is imperatively
required. Questions of life and death are
imminent, and IL is thought pecuniary con-
siderationS might be deferred.
