early report as 10 the appropriations need
ed. TO enable the board to determine the
amounts necessary to be apportioned to the
several churches, and from preliminary
ports from these committees it was deemed
wise to appoint a committee on apportion-

board. with instructions to apportion the
sum of $3.50 among the contributing
churches. This was done and the churches
advised of the amounts apportioned to each
board without delay whether the several
amounts were accepted and i'll nearly every
case a favorable response was received.

RUSSIA AND JAPAN.

A recent dispatch reported the British
Admiral Freemantle as saying that war
between Russia and Japan was inevitable,
and a later one says that while British
government officials regard his utterance
as indiscreet they are inclined to take the
same view of the situation. Indications
have been pointing in that direction for
some time, and the present trouble In
China is likely to increase the probability Of
a collision, though the real seat of the con-
troversy between the two countries is in
Korea. where the rivalry between them for
ascendency has been acute for three or
four years past. The manner in which
Japan has been ''bristling up" towards
Russia shows either a great deal OF reck-
Iessness or a great deal of confidence on
the part of the island empire. The total
area of Japan is 1ee.14o square miles and
her population 100000. while the Russian
empire has total area Of $4,000 square
miles and a population of 2s.1e60O0. The
Japanese empire embraces about 1000
islands. while that of Russia is compare
lively contiguous and compact. The dis
parity between the military resources of
the two countries seems very great, yet II
is evident that japan would not shrink
from a contest even with so powerful an
adversary. She has never forgiven Russia
for depriving her Of the fruits Of victory

in her war with China in ls94-e5 in which
the control of Korea was the real bone OF
contention, and she has bitterly resented
the Russian possession of Port Arthur and
her aggression in Korea. Japan is ambi-
tious, and it is essential TO her commercial
