revolution"
This expression of feeling is as clear
as il is forcible. Russia distrusts Eng
lands aims. suspects E~ngland's profess
sions. and openly declares her inten-
ton to oppose E~nEland's ambitions. by
approving this sentiment and repeating
it in the st. Petersburg Gazette. the
tsar endorses this distrust, suspicion

forces does he possess to make his de-
termination good?

seven times the army of England. on

greater: 5000, 900 for Russia against 60O,-

doubtful for a week.
Taking into consideration the enor-

the fleets of England, she has no such
naval superiority over Russia as is
generally supposed. OF first-class bat
tleships, Russia has II to England's 29.
but the Russian ships actually carry 10
more heavy guns than the English

ships. Russia has only four to Eng
lands "a; but of vessels for sea going
coast defense. Russia has seven against
England's six. with IL armored cruis-
ers against England's Is. SO that.
given the spaces from which English
ships cannot be withdrawn, IL is by
no means certain that, in "a naval war,
England could so easily give an ac-
count of Russia's fleet as is generally
ssumed by English writer's and states
men.
But England Is as near to n war with
France as with Russia: and the Rus
so-French entente is an additional rea-
son for counting France as an element
in the total calculation. France and
Russia together have % frst-class bat
tleships, against England's 30; with lSl

second-class battleships and armored

going coast defense, France and Rus

SO that any absolute preponderance
on E~ngland's part is purely imaginary.

The British, Russian and Chinese
empires include a thousand million
souls. two-thirds of the whole human
race. Their dominions cover twenty
five million SQUARE miles, just half the
and surface of the globe. This is what
is involved, If war breaks out in the
far East.
The English side Of the matter has
been fully presented. 1 shall give the
Russian view. and show what re-
sources the tsar can command to en-
force his purpose. Russia is to-day
stronger. richer and more confident
than at any point in her natural life:
n the feeling which the Chinese
question has aroused is keen. out
spoken and unanimous. Let me show.
al the outset, exactly what that feeling
is. The Novoe Nremya is the most in
huential PAPER in Russia. From il, the
tsar's organ, the 81. Petersburg Ga
zette, quotes these words, with the full
est approval:
The economic and moral bank
ruptcy of India shows clearly whittier

merce are likely TO lead the people Of

the tsar's empire, the Russians do not
exploit the Chinese. on the contrary,
the Chinese nay found in them all the
conditions for economic development.
Which is better-the fate of the Chi
nese in Siberia or the fate of the
Hindoos. in their own native land?
More than once the members of the
Chinese tsung-li-yemen have shown
great political wisdom in estimating at
their true worth the interested services
of England; and hat wisdom con-
firmed by the diplomatic traditions Of
1000 years. has saved China from shar-
ing midas fate. What Russia needs
is China's confidence. and not her prov
inces, or the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of her EN-
pire. We shall conquer there. not by
gold or armorclads. but by the magic
of the Russian name: for Russia's pur-
pose in the East is identical with the
purposes of China, Corea and Japan

A MEXICO MURDER MYSTERY.
Papers Belonging to an Oregon
Citizen Found on the BODY.

PENDLETON (Or), Jan. ia copy
of Yuma (Ariz) paper which reached
here to-day contained the information
that the body of a. man had been found
in Sonora, Mexico, sixty miles south of
the boundary line, and it was supposed
to be that of Martin L. Hasbroucls
formerly agent of the Pacific Coast
Elevator Company in Pendleton
The article in the newspaper says:
''The remains were so scattered that it
was impossible to determine definitely,
but he had probably been dead about a
month, and the presence in the left side
of the breast bone of hole made by a
bullet or sharp pick indicated that he
came to his death by foul means. In
the dead mans clothes We're found re-
ceipts for dues from Pendleton orr
Lodge No. 81, I. o. o. F., and from
Portland Lodge No. 46, A. F. and A. NJ,
and a newspaper published in Pendle-
ton. The name which appeared on the
receipts was NJ. l.. Hasbrouck.'
A relative here states that he left
Pendleton with about $500 in money,
gold watch, pistol, bowie knife and
.prospector's outfit. There is much
mystery surrounding the case, and
some believe that Hasbrouck desired
to be considered dead. Hasbrouck left
here October 26th on a sixty days leave
of absence, and after his departure the
company decided that he was short in
his accounts.
PORTLAND, Jan. 13.-Robert Ken
nedy, manager of the Pacific Coast Ele-
vator Company in this city, states that
he received a letter in M. l.. Has
brouck's handwriting mailed at Los
Angeles January I'd. This upsets the
theory that Hasbrouck desired to leave
the impression that he was murdered.
