Japan and Russia,


Two a Matter of National Character.
The war clouds are drifting over
that part of the Russian possessions
which is nearest Japan, and il seems
possible that in The near future there
may be trouble between the two
countries. If the trouble ever be
comes serious Its outcome viii de-
pend, in large measure, on qualities
Of racial character rs yet unrevealed
to the general public; and that Is one
reason for the rather general interest
IN the matter.
No people have been so completely
miseonstrued in regard to their ma
ture, customs, and religion as the
japanese. with the possible exception
Of the Russians. Twenty-Five yeals
ago it was common talk that japan
was becoming converted, soul, body,
and clothes, to the views of the De-
oident The habitual self-restraint of
the japanese, his invaiiable polite
ness, his extraordinary quiekness il,

religious, to pat each other on the
back and feel comfortable This
comfort was somewhat disturbed
vhen the foreign teachers were elim-
rated from one Of the leading schools
end their places filed by native Jap
anese who had been educated abroad,
Since that time the foreign resident
has felt less certain that he knew ali
about his Acknowledged neighbors.
The sooner the outside world be-
comes convinced that the individuality
Of the japanese people Is a thing
which has grown through centuries
and viii never be destroyed save by
determination, the better chance will
there be for understanding of Japan
by other powers. The two essential
characteristics Of the japanese are
intense feeling and habitual self-con-
troll. Both are strongly exemplified
in the present situation. Popular
feeling runs high, and the ferveni
patriotism which animates every
japanese, of whatever station, might
counsel war, but it would be a huge
biunder to assume that this feeling i,

be the case in this country. in France

Nicholas Takes Initiative.

This Is not the only matter in which
Emperor Nicholas has displayed an ini-
tiative and an Independence Of charac-
ter with which he has not until now
been credited, either at home or abroad.
Ii seems that he appointed Admiral
Alexieff to the post of vlceroy of all
RUssia's possessions in the Far Orient
without consulting any of his minis
tiers; that ne transferred Count Witte
from the Office OF minister OF finance
to the presidency OF the council Of
ministers without any warning whatso-
ever. and that the appointment OF NJ.
Pleske to succeed De Witte at the head
of the treasury was likewise his own
personal choice. Of which no one knew
anything until he made announcement
thereof. although it proved eminently
agreeable TO De Witte, who has long
been warm friend OF NJ Pleske-
1t is Nicholas. too, who personally dis
missed from Office and banished to the
remote province Of TambOff General and
Privy Councillor Subatoff, who was
chief of the imperial police, and oceu-
pied as such one Of the most influential
offices In the empire. 1t was only sub
sequent to his disgrace that the Empe-
ror allowed it 70 become known why he
had thus punished him. the cause being
that the general was found TO have TO-
mented through his agents disturb
ances at Odessa and elsewhere i'm the
south for the purpose of discouraging
the Emperor from the Inauguration Of
more liberal regime. well from
restricting the extraordinary powers Of
the police. and also with the object OF
enabling him 10 obtain an addition TO
the immense secret service funds which
he had at his absolute disposal.
