JAPAN AND RUSSIA.
Japanese warship Fired upon
by the Russians.

Vancouver, B. G. April 5.-The
war between Russia and Japan was
almost precipitated by an incident
which japanese officials have vainly
endeavored to suppress.
On March "a IA Japanese battleshiE

nejghborlIuOd of Hokkaido. Without
any warning the Russian discharged
torpedo against the battlcship, but
m Used aim and the japanese ship
escaped unhurt, but before retiring.
fired several shots at her assailant.
A report comes from New Chwang
that the Russians are working day
and night ON the railway in order to
complete it up to the Amur as soon
as possible: that the chief engineer
has gone to Pekin to try and arrange
for the purchase of the imperial Chi
nese railroad: and that Ylng kok will
be proclaimed Russian possession
this spring, the forts being repaired
which command the entrance to the
river and which were destroyed by the
japanese.
New York, April Ga dispatch from
Shanghai says that the ominouS prcpara-
tiOns of the Russian and Japanese war
departments continue. The Russians
are making strenuous efforts to fill Port
Arthur with grain even at war panic
prices and are importing quantities of
wheat from north China. Japan has
called out her naval reserves for service
during the approaching maneuyers. when
The entire Japanese fleet will be engaged.
According to adviccs by the Central
Pacific railroads steamship Empress,
just arrived at Victoria: b. c., from the
orier'. there is no longer attempt in ia
pan to conceal the regretted imninence
of war with Russia now that prepara
tion for the struggle on both sides adj
vanccs. Russia has practically assumed
control of Korea by methods peculiarly
Russian. She is now hurrying her troops
and warships to the scene of future ac-
cloud does burst it will find her we'll pre-
pared. .Japan's statesmen realize with
reluctance the inevitable. They say that
and the conservative press of Japan
echoes the sentiment--there seems no re-
course but war, although Japan must not
strike the first blow.
Meanwhile capital has taken alarm.
and the money market is more disturbed
by far than when the nation was on the
eve of hostilities with the once mighty
China. Financiers demand higher and
higher interest From the treaty ports,
and even Hongkong foreigners are leav-
ing by scores and hundreds, determined
not to be caught in the midst of the hor-
rors of war. Japan, as one of her states
men expresses it, is compelled 'to wait
with magnificent patience the working
out of the plot and intrigue of her enc
miles,"
