Little is known of the military force
which Russia has been pouring into Man
churia for several years. 1t is estimated
that the czar has at his command there
about 10000 men, but the means for trans
porting SO great a mum ber of men to enable
them to drive home a blow on Japanese ter
ritory would probably prove totally made
quate. On the other hand. Russia is better
prepared for war than at any time since
she entered North China.
Japan has an army of over 650,O00 men, Of
whom, however, nearly half million are
reservists. Every phase OF preparations ap-
pears to have been foreseen by the Japa-
nese authorities. In the great mercantile
marine of over 10000 tons which the state
has built up the country has ample trans
ports, there is supply of 81 600 horses
ready for use. the land defenses have been
inspected lately and put in good order AS
recently as last spring the emperor reviewed
the fleet which has been created so swiftly,
and spoke words of encouragement to the
officers on whom the responsibility for hos
tilities would fall. Practically the whole
army is in Japan, and 1t Is probable that
the only force in Corea consists of a few

1t may be recalled that in the treaty be-
tween Great Britain and Japan signed by
the Marquis of Lansdowne early in 1902,
it IS laid down:
IF either power becomes involved in war
the other high contracting party will pre-
serve strict neutrality and use It's efforts
to prevent other powers joining in hostili-
ties.
eff any other power OF powers should
join the enemy against the ally the other
high contracting party will go to its as

and make peace in loyal agreement with
the ally.
Neither ally, without consulting the
other, shall enter into separate arrange

wARsH1Ps IN FAR EAST.
japan Has the Most, but Russia
Shows Up Strongly.

In view of the situation In the far east,
says the London Telegraph. some interest
attaches to the natural question, What Is
the relative strength of Russia and Japan
In the Pacific? OF course, the Russian
ships in the Black sea are confined there
by treaty, and those In the Baltic are tied
to northern Europe by the fact that the
resseis would have no coal except by the
grace of Great Britain. which owns prac
tically all the bases on the way to China.
At any rate, at first. any action between
the two countries would be almost purely
naval. and not until one or other had gain
ed command of the sea would transports
with troops be risked afloat. At present
the naval forces of both powers are con-
centrated. Russia's at Port Arthur, where
the ships have been carrying ou n,aneu-
vers, while the fleet of Japan is at the in
slant disposal Of the government If need for
action of any kind should arise. Compar-
ing the two fleets In the far east, we obtain
the following result:

others a chance to take it up to step

in Madison Square Garden today.
DOwie at that meeting said he should
endeavor to convert the pope. He
added that ne had received many bogus
checks since coming to New York. but
that others had been good.
There is no need for followers to
rush back to Zion" said he, because
of those suits by merchants of Chi

treaty did not cover as much ground as
did the treaty with the United States. Il
would be effective as an entering wedge.

Washington, Oct 22.-The text OF the

furnished. the point Ringing upon the
construction of the word advanced
in the. section Of the revised statutes
which authorized suit for the recov-

The attorney general, after discussing
the case in all its phases. says Of the
opinion that mo part of the considera-
ton paid by the government is subject
TO a demand for a repayment"
Secretary Root asked the department
of justice whether any further action
is called for on the part of the gov
eminent. and upon this point the attor-
ney general says:
by any further action you mean, I
presume. criminal action. There is no
occasion, however, for me to determine
whether the transaction called in ques-
ton, and which you say is the only
one wherein there is any evidence of

ground for criminal prosecution un-
