Russian army totally unsuited to Russian
conditions of life and 70 Nfuscovite usages. Soon
afterward General Dragomiroff, in letter pub
lished in a military organ. the "Raswedtchik.
of St Petersburg did not hesitate TO declare that
he infinitely preferred to see young officers ret-
tling their differences by means of their fists
when the quarrel trivial than by fighting
duels which are only saved from ridicule by
very serious results. This is an assertion which,
coming from the bravest officer of the Russian
army. will commend itself to people in this coun-

the Minister of War and Of old General Drago-
miroff likely to prevail with Emperor Nicho-

the entire system Of duelling. and has repeatedly
depored in public and private the frequency of
fatal duels among young officers in his service

Duelng. long forbidden by the church and the

regarded as Indispensable to the maintenance of
courtesy and discipline in the relations of the
upper classes of Continental Europe, appears at
length to be on the eve of disappearance from

weeks there has sprung into existence an inter
national league which, cordially ndorsed by the

LEARNED MEN INCREDULOUS.

The consensus Of opinion of these learned men
is one Of absolute incredulity in regard TO Shuye
Sonoda's theory. The Duke of Loubat pointed
out that Sonoda declared that he followed the
chronicles of Hoe Shin. who in 400 a. d.
turned to his native land with an account OF the
exploration of a country which he called Fu-
Sang. which Shuye Sonoda identifies with Mex
leo. You will find" remarked the duke that
1t has long since been demonstrated to the sat-
isfaction of the scientific world that Fu-Sang is
not situated in Mexico. nor anywhere in America,
but is island in OF the groups of
China and north of the Lieou- Kieou islands AMI

Is the island Of Saghalien. or OF Krafto. TO the
north of Yesso. 1t has been proved by DIR. Gus
tave Schegel professor OF Chinese at the Uni
versity OF Leyden; by NJ. Henri Cordier. in his
paper entitled 'L'Etat Actuel de la Question du
Fou-Sang.' and by numerous scientific re-
searches published in the United States. France
and Germany. that Fu-Sang certainly cannot
be identified with any portion of Mexico"
1 subsequently called upon NJ. Henri Cordier
and showed him the clipping from The Tribune
of February IS containing a dispatch from San
Francisco embodying the belief of Shuye Sonoda
that the Japanese discovered America a thou
sand years before Columbus. NJ. Cordier had in
his library OF books. maps and documents
bearing upon the question. This distinguished
Americanist said:
You see that Shuye Sonoda has merely revived
the exploded theory started by HOei Shin. the
Buddhist monk in 400 \. D., which some years
ago developed by the late Marquis d'Her-
vey-Saint Denis by Charles G.. Leland. and by
Edward p. Vining, in bulky volume published
in NewYork in 1885. entitled An Inglorious
Columbus Shuye Sonodas theory falls the
ground because Fu-Sang is not Mexico-a fact
now so clearly established that at the Interna-
tional Orientalst Congresses all papers reviving
this exploded theory barred from discussion.
DR.. Gustave Schegels demonstration of the i'm
possibility of Fu-Sang being identified with
Mexico is accepted absolutely conclusive.
Among several points developed by DR.. Schlegel
it is only necessary to cite one in which he
tabshes that to locate Fu-Sang in America
one would have to displace the great equatorial
current of the Sea of Japan, called the Kouro-
Syan, or Black Current. and place California
on the east coast Of America. which is absurd.
