Russia and Japan.

nhooso ouu sopohs
 One of the inevitable things in this quar- relsome, land-grabbing world seems to be most competent observers and students re- gard such a war as something that must take place soon or late; and beyond a doubt 'both sides are getting ready for it. Russia is building as rapidly as she can her line of railroad through Siberia to Port Arthur, and Japan is building with all pos sible speed more battleshps and cruisers.
 When Russia conspired with the other powers to deprive Japan of Corea and of foothold the Chinese mainland, because she wanted both herself, she laid the foun- dation for a struggle with Japan that will be very expensive on Russias part, and that may be very serious on Japan's part Japan will fight for existence almost, cer- tainly for a reasonable place among na- tions, and if she go down in the struggle her sun sets perhaps forever.
 The control, if not the actual possession, of Corea will be apt to be the cause of the coming conflict. If Russia is permitted to seize Corea not only would the island em- pirs be shut in it's narrow bounds, but all Ter dreams of leadership and association in China must be dismissed Even the se- by the holding against her of Corea.. Over Corea will therefore arise the conflict that can only be settled by the sword Ii is one eff those conflicts that can be essil d in no other way.
 Russia unaided by France will not soon be able to cope on the sea With Japan's navy. Japan has the more ships, and the chances are that they are better manned iE every way, and would be better handled in battle. Russia is without naval record of credit. Her ambition does not lie in that direction. But would France aid Rus sia against Japan? There's the rub. That brings up the open-door issue again. Japan stands for an open-door, and so do Eng land and the United States, and so prob ably does alert, progressive Germany If in any way France can be kept from com ing to the aid of Russia in the coming contest, Japan can be trusted to take care of herself, not so much perhaps on land as on the sea. She would at least render Russian ports on the Pacific valueless. It is plain therefore that Japan will not pre- cipitate a contest until the South African war is well out of the way, and as Russia is not ready it clearly rests with Japan to say when the struggle will be begun

sENAToR MORGAN,s REPLY

From the Tuscaloosa Times.
 Senator Morgan's arraignment of Joe Johnston takes the political hide off in great shape. The grand old man gives no evidence of age when it comes to fighting the battles of the '-plain people" against their common political enemy, the "busi- ness" governor. We would rather be the humblest spaniel in Alabama and bay the moon than stand in the political shoes of Joe Johnston.

 Whatever Congressman Crumpacker and his followers eonstitutionally do they must do in a general way. and when they do that they will strike at the representation of northern states as well as that of southern states. The trend of sentiment in all states is towards an intelligent electorate, and the south is but keeping up with the pro- cession.

 Senator Morgans reply to Governor Johnston's demands for retraction elf what Morgan said in the senate was red-hot from the shoulder, and very clearly shows that the old senator is keeping in close touch with affairs in his beloved state, even while attending to his duties at Wash ington. The senator upholds his charge made against the governor, and accuses him Of open violation of law, and administers a terrible rebuke to Alabamas governor. Governor Johnston took detached parts of Morgan's speech in order to work a scheme that would aid him in his senatorial struggles, but the old senator pulled off his gloves and run the governors demands up a tree. That lie killed and gathered to its fathers"

fTOm the Bulier Herald.
 Our Business Governor" fired a big gun at General Morgan when he demanded proof or retraction of assertions made by the he wishes he hadn't. The venerable states man not only defends his remarks, but goes further and severely arraigns the governors administration, and charges him with Violating the organic and legislative laws for his personal benefit, and otherwise prostituting the high office he fills. Talk ing it as a whole, the senator's letter dresses down the governor very neatly and satisfactorily. You can just bet your boots that the scathing reply will settle the governors itch for writing.

From the Huntsville Post.
 Governor Johnston called for the proof of Senator Morgan's charge in the senate that the governor was interested. or had been, in trust. and the governor got it straight in the neck. It is a dangerous bluff to call for a show down sometimes, especially when you don't know what the other fellows hand is.

The apparently hopeless illness of Charles Addison Boutelle, congressman from the Fourth district of Maine, serves to recall a chapter in the history of the war between the states. Boutele was a rnide h.pman on the federal ship Sassagus, flagship of Com modore Roane in Albermarle Sound about the time the confederate ship Albermarle was blown up by the daring young Cushing, of the federal fleet. Boutelle, with five of his men, very narrowly escaped capture at the hands of Frank P. O'Brien and G. Nor timer Williams of Birmingham, and Chief Pilot Hopkins and Signal Officer Arthur Chalk, of the Albermarle. These confeder- ates had Boutelle and his men cornered, so to speak, but by accident they escaped. Boutelle used to be a very hearty hater of the south; but for many years he has dis played no bitterness towards the states of the late confederacy.

MAJOR GENERAL CHERMSIDE.
General Charmside's division is en-
camped IL miles east OF the railway.
Beers are opposed to be in the vicin-
ity, but an attack by them is improb
able.
II is reported that reinforeements for
the Beers. with 60 wagons. have ar
rived at De Vets Dorp, en- route for
Wepener. This should precipitate an
action.
The statement that President Kru-
ger has been south seems to confirm
the reports that the Beers are getting
disheartened. This continued exertiOn
of his personal influence appears now
to have become a necessity.
Lord Roberts. in his telegram Of
protest to President Kruger regarding
the treatment to which the colonial
officers and troops who are now pris-
oners at Pretoria have been subjected
complains that the Beers have treated
them as if criminals confined in Jail
lie points out that there are 90 cases
OF enteric fever and dysentery in the
prisoners camp at Waterfall; that the
Transvaal government failed to supply,
on demand of the doctor, the necessary
medicines ard medical comforts; that
the prisoners were forced to bivouac
on the open veldt; that the sick were
placed in an open shed, with an iron
roof and that it was only when the new
doctor treatened to resign that medi-
cines and mattresses We're supplied. He
invites President Kruger to remedy
this state of things and contrasts il
with the treatment the British give to
Boer prisoners, sick and wounded
who, as Lord Roberts says, receive
the same treatment as our own SOL
diers."
-Four farmers who had taken the
oath to abstain from further cooper
alton with the queens enemies were
found signaling to the Beers at Karee
Siding and have been brought here.
Sir Godfrey Lagden, British resident
commissioner, has returned to Maseru
Basutoland, from the scene of opera
tions near Wepener. He and the
paramount chief have stationed 5000
armed natives TO resist possible Boei
entertainments. The orders of the resi-
dent commissioner are that the Basu.
tos are not to be allowed to cross tn,
Free State frontier on any pretens,
whatever. Two natives who crossed
and looted an abandoned Boer farm
are now in custody.
Colonel Dalgety's position is strong
and well chosen, but he is completed,
surrounded. The Beers have their back

against Basutoland. and II they stay
much longer they will be hemmed i'm.
The British operations are keenly
watched from the neighboring heights
Smelling and sniping have been going
on steadily during the last six days
colonel Dalgety's guns are admirably
served and there is no waste OF am
munition. The Beers, when they see
the electric flash of the cordite, bolt
into their holes or behind walls. So
near are the Beers and the Basuto
guards that they converse.
1t is officially reported that the Brit
Lsh losses at Wepener in four days
nighting were is men killed and 1872
sounded.

BICYCLIsTs ARM BROKEN
MIsIIAP OF CURTIS KIRK ON THE
KENNETH PIKE.

Loose pebbles in the roadhed Of
Kennett pike are responsible for a
broken right arm and other injuries
received by Curtis Kirk by a fall from
his bicycle Mr.. Kirk is a train dis
patcher of the Maryland division of the
p, w. & b. railroad, and resides at
No. 115 West Thirteenth street. He
was taking a short run for recreation
yesterday afternoon, and the level pike
tempted him to scorch. He was going
at a fair gait when suddenly his wheel
slipped from under him, hurting him
violently to the earth.
Though painfully hurt, he walked
into the city, pushing his bicycle with
his uninjured hand. DR.. George r.
Carmichael set the broken arm, and it
will probably be month before Mr..
Kirk will be able to use it.
The disability of Mr.. Kirk, coupled
with the illness of ]. w. Aydon, OF
the same department, impairs the SER
vice.
