RUSSIA AND JAPAN.

The dispatches from eastern Asia
one day say that all danger OF war be-
tween Russia and Japan has passed;
another day they convey the impress
sion that war Is imminent The truth
seems to be that Japan would gladly
commence hostlltles, were she in a po-
sltlon to do so. Either country would
probably welcome a war, II the other
power would shoulder the burden Of
responsibility for 1t, but neither seems
to care to take the first decisive step in
that direction.
According to the Literary Digest, the
Toxic press Is full of hostile articles
against Russia. Few voices for peace
and moderation are heard. A noted
member OF the house Of representa-
tlyes, Mr. Mochzuk Kotaro, advocates
Japans coming 10 terms with Russia,
IT being impossible to keep her out OF
Manchuria for any length OF time
The japanese statesman proposes that
Russia be allowed to take Manchuria
as a set-oft to the appropriation Of
Coreu by Japan. However, the adoption
Of this policy finds few champions IN
the press. In the newspapers generally
the war party seems to predominant.
The Youmiur Shimbun thinks there
are tire courses open to Japan; first.
to go to war with Russia and drive her
out OF Manchuria; second, to agree TO
Russia's taking Manchuria in return
Tor something else" third. the CONVEX
sion Of Manchura into buffer state,
But the Japanese paper setting forth
these alternatives Is Of opinion that
Russia is not likely to agree to any Of
them unless Japan goes to war, The
able japanese publiclst Or, Takahashl,
replies 20 all this that Japan should
not hesitate TO go TO war at once, but
that after the attainment Of her object
Chinese control over Manchuria--Japan
should retire from the contest. To this
the Yomiuri reloins that for Japan TO
attempt to prop up China against Rus
sa would be useless. II Japan is
Obliged TO so 10 war over Manchuria
and succeeds in expelllng Russia from
that province, she must throw It open
to the world herself. This would prove
the safest policy, as the guarding OF
trade interests against Russian mon
opoly would then be undertaken by
several other Powers.

spectlye countries at this time. may not
have any special significance, but II
looks as II both powers had decided to
be on guard, SO as not TO be taken un-
awares By the other.
