situation. The Chinese had not, in
deed, realized what it implied, and the
sinking of the Kowshing, with 1000
men on board, and the crushing defeat
inflicted by Admiral Ito on the Chi
nese squadron under brave Admiral
Ting (September I'D were the conse-
ouences. In the present war the con-
ditions were different The Russians,
having lost all immediate hope of as
sorting supremacy at sea, could not
move a man afloat. To transport
troops from Dalny or Port Arthur to
the mouth of the Yalu was impossible.
Not less impossible was 1t for them to
risk an action, as the. Chinese did at
Pingyang, lest the Japanese should
throw forces ashore in their rear. The
only doubt is whether they were wise,
in view of like danger, in holding the
line of the Yalu at all.
The positions on the Yalu occupied
nv the Chinese in 1894 were the same
as those held by the Russians on May
1. and the Japanese tactics were pre-
cisely the same. A little reading of re-
cent history should have taught Gen
Kuropatkin what to expect, 1t is par

reached Wiju, and made great dem
onstration against Kiuliencheng, while
they prepared to overwhelm the Chi
nese left. AS is well known, the Aiho
joins the Yalu from the north, and in
the angle formed by the two rivers the
Chinese were posted on the prominent
height of Husan. The Yaiu was rapidly
bridged-and it was 200 yards wide
and, early in the morning Of October
25 the Chinese were driven from HUI
san, making no very good defence, and
retired behind the Aiho, which the
Japanese forded, and confirmed the
success. Kiuliencheng had become I'M
tenable, and the Chinese, who had
large numbers killed and wounded, fled
in confusion, losing heavily in the re-
treat to Fengwangcheng.

Sauitarium,

The state board of control has pur-
chased a large tract of land near Leach
Lake on which the sanitarium for con-
sumptives provided for by the last leg
islature will be located. The board
is negotiating for more land and ulti-
mately plans to have approximately
six hundred acres.
1t is probable that no buildings will
be erected on the tract this year, as
the appropriation of $25, 200 is scarcely
enough to buy the land, construct the
buildings and maintain the institution
on large scale until another appro-
priation is secured. 1t has been sug-
gested that tents in which the con-
sumptives may live the summer be
pitched on the tract, and should they
decide not to erect any buildings it is
probable that this will be done.

The industrial depression in Russia
and the famine of 1901 gave opportunity
to the socialists and liberals of the land
to stir up the people as the nihilists were
not able to do. The professional and Off
cial classes both are taking part in ex-
pressions Of disapproval of the govern
ment, though still retaining loyalty to
the car, whom, they maintain, is kept in
ignorance Of existing conditions. Stu
dents of the institutions of higher educa-
ton are boldly showing their sympathy
with the oppressed, and from time to
time their acts are of decidedly revolu-
tionary character. Revolutionary tracts
are sent out from government offices, the
nobility discuss political reforms, the
works Of banished Russian writer's some
how find entrance into the country and
wide circulation.
The government has endeavored tosup-
press these intellectual leaders by ban
ishment to the country districts, and the
result has been a wider field for the
workers. Violence has marked the re-
cent movement; the agitators have re-
sorted to assassination methods; the
Cossack police have dragged and shot
down the rioters, and offenders have re-
ceived the Siberian sentence. Women,
too, have taken part in the student riots,
| and, like the men, have felt the Cossack
whips on their backs. In addition to the
student riots, strikes and labor riots have
occurred in scattered portions of Russia,
and agragarian riots have led to vio-
lence of no small extent. In the various
uprisings the soldiery have some times
been too weak to interfere; some times
| too mutinous.

China, it is not surprising, though it is
noteworthy, that their movements
have not differed very greatly. In
June, 1894, Gen. Oshima, and in the
following September Marshal Yama-
gaia, landed at Chemulpo, and
marched on Seoul, just as Gen. Kuro-
ki's troops did in February last. The
Chinese were then in great strength in
Korea, and were defeated near Asan,
south of Seoul, on July 29; but the
whole course of the operations was to
drive them west of the Yalu. They
made a great stand at Pingyang, where
they were defeated In sanguinary &C
ton by Gen. Nodzu on September Is,
but after that they retreated to the
very same positions on the right bank
of the Yalu from which the Russians,
under Gen. Sassulitch, were driven
with such great loss on May 1.
