 During my stay I saw many of the naval officers and men. The sailors are fine-looking fellows, big framed. broad shouIdered and as a general thing beard- ed.

 A Nation of Sailors.
 The Japanese are at home upon the sea. They are a nation of sailors. They had their men-of-war in feudal days and sent out armies to Corea and China. They are wonderfully nimble with their feet and hands, it being commonly said that the Japanese has twenty fingers. ten on his hands and ten on his feet
 They are also good fighters, and may be called a nation of warriors. At the time that Commodore Perry opened the coun- try 1t was ruled by a class of feudal knights and retainers whose profession was war.

 The prospect of war with Japan calls attention to the enormous increase going on in the navy of Russia. l see Russian man-of-war everywhere. l found several new ones building in the Vulcan ship yards at Stettin, Germany; others have been constructed at Kiel by the Krupps, and there are a large number under way in the shipyards of Russia. This country has now one of the largest navies in the world. and it has vast number of mer- camille vessels which can be brought into use in time of war.
 The czar has six great battle ships with on aggregate tonnage of more than 70.- 900. He has three armoed cruisers ag- rreeatine more than 35,dO tons and ten cruisers of about 50,000 tons. In addition there are twenty destroyers, fourteen torpedo gunboats and fifteen torpedo boats either built or building. For the past ten years Russia has been steadily adding to her navy, and has had ships constructed for her in the United States, England, Germany and Denmark. in ad- dition to those made at home. She has a big fleet here on the Baltic guarding St. Petersburg and other ports. There is an- other fleet in the Black sea and the Med iterranean and another in the far east protecting Manchuria and eastern Si- beria.

 At the close of the war the Japanese LOOK the money they received from China ana put 1t into new battleships, cruisers and gunboats.

When Peter the Great built St. Petersburg he said that he want ed it as a window through which he could look out upon Europe Kronstadt is the steel bars of that window. It is only twenty miles away and is reached by a sea canal sixteen miles long and more than twenty feet deep. This leads into the Gulf of Finland and it ends only a short distance from Kronstadt.
 In coming in to St. Petersburg you must pass Kronstadt and as you do so you make your way in and out through islands covered with forts. There are about a half dozen such island forts in addition to Kronstadt itself. They rise from the sea looking like mighty floating batteries. and effectually protect this gate to the great Russian empire.
 Kronstadt itself is low. It Is walled in from the sea, and as you look at it you can see a forest of masts back of the walls, and among them the smokestac cks of steamers, out of many of which the black smoke is pouring

and the business generally is in the hands of the Japanese This is so to some extent in Seoul, the capital.
 The Japanese are building a number Of new railroads in Corea. They have bought the little line which was con- structed by Americans from Chemul- DO to Seoul. and they are building trunk line from Fusan to Seoul. which will have a great trade and will bring Japan within very few hours of the capital of Corea. I understand they are also planning roads to the east and to the north of Seoul, so that in time their railroads will cover the country.
 At the same time the Coreans do not want to be swallowed up by the Japa- nese. and they are glad to have Russia as buffer between them and their al- mond-eyed collsIns across the strait.

 At present every Japanese between sev- enteen and forty Is subject to military service. The army organization Is much like that of Germany. The troops have been trained by German officers. and in all the military schools there are German instructors. There are at present more than 600,0O0 men in the regular army, in- cluding eleven thousand officers. There are more than thirty-five thousand off, cers and men in the navy.
