Continued from Page six).

initiate hostile action if the negotiations
break down, that she will not fight un-
less attacked. With almost equal. regu-
larity we hear from the same source
that Russia's reply to Japan is couched
in the most conciliatory terms.
This "conciliatory' spirit Of Russia s
will hardly deceive many people. 1t is
too much as If a debtor of years stand
ing should argue that he ought not to
be sued because he had always been so
conciliatory when his creditor dunned
him, although he admitted that he had
never been ready to repay cent OF
what he owed.
AS to Russia's intention not to fire
the first shot in war, that may have
real Importance to her, for it may be
that her right to call upon France for
assistance, in accordance with treaty
obligations depends upon Japan being
formally the aggressor. However, it will
do her little further good, for the world
IS altogether too well informed to con-
tent itself with the rough inference that
the power that fires the first shot is of
necessity the one that starts or causes
the war. To use again a homely illus
tration, it is as If a long suffering man
endured the taunts of rowdy for hours
before he got angry enough to fight
Though he drew the first blood he would
hardly be called the aggressor. More
over, both powers have been too active
OF late in military preparations for
either of them now to plead inoffensive-
ness.
AS a matter of fact the cause of the
war that appears inevitable can only
be stated as Russia's refusal to live UP
to her promises concerning Manchurfa,
taken together with Japan'S positive in
sistence that she do live up to them.
When Russia issues a defense of her
position it will probably contain matter
closely parallel to the famous words
which Count Muravieff, then Russia's
foreign minister, addressed to Great
Britain at the time of the Port Arthur
negotiations in 1898. He assured Great
Britain that the apparently definite
promises of the cars foreign office had
been only the confidential expression of
ideas" which Ought never to have
been interpreted as assurances, and could
not in reality have had such a signifi-
cation" England swallowed this state
ment, though with many signs of dis
gust. Japan having vastly more at
stake. will not be put off by any such
sophistry. That is the vital difference
between conditions then and now.-Chi-

HAVE JUDGES THE RIGHT.
Question Concerning tho Revocation
of Druggists Permits.

There is quite an Important point be-
hind the move on the part of the attor-
neys for w. F. Lake who brought man
damus proceedings against County Clerk
Newman to compel him to restore the
liquor permit book taken away from
Lake when Probate Judge Hayden re-
voked his permit.
The mandamus is made against the
county clerk on the ground that the
probate Judge has not the authority to
revoke the permit of a druggist and to
have the permit books returned to the
county clerk. The case will be heard by
Judge Hazen and if he holds against
Lake the matter Will reach the supreme
court.
Should the decision be made that the
probate judge has not the right to re-
woke druggists permits, then the au-
thority of the probate judge to regulate
drug stores will be annulled and he will
only have the right to issue the permits.

THE FIGHTING STRENGTH,
Little Japan's Wonderful Fleets and
Armies.

Probably the latest and most reliable
estimate of the relative fighting
strength of Japan and Russia is that
made for the London Times by its mill
itary and naval correspondents The
outlook according to these experts. is
more than faVora BILE to Japan at sea,
while there is at lca~t an even chance
for her on land.
The naval expert admits. to start
with, that there are factors on both
sides which are hard to determine but
he gives US the benefit of all the knowl-
edge available. He compares the Jap
anese fleet with the Russian ships
which are either in the far east or are
now on their way there Japan has SIX
battleships to Russia's eight. but not
even the best OF the Russian ships
comes up to the Japanese standard.
Moreover, the JaDanese ships are prac-
tically all of one grade, and can be
handled therefore to great advantage.
while the Russian feet must adapt it
self in action to the capacity of its
poorest vessel In armored cruisers
Japan has six to Russia's five, and
Japans are the better. In protected
cruisers Japan has fourteen to Russia's
eight.
Even more important than this SUI
periority of feet is the fact that Japan
has four fine dockyards, quite capable
both of constructing and repairing yes
sells of any class while Russia'S dock
ing facilities are entirely inadequate
even for the ordinary repair and main
tenance Of the fleet" So great Is Jap
ans superiority at sea, everything con-
sidered. that it would not be a surprise
if the Russians should Withdraw their
ships into the Guf of Pe-Chi-Li rather
than force a fleet action
When the issue at sea has been set
tied, either by victory or blockade, then
will come the land campaign Japan's
permanent army has $500 officers and
$50, 600 men. Her reserve and territorial
armies bring her total land Force to
49, 600 men Russia, according TO the
best estimate that can be made, has
about $50. 006 men in the far east, while
1T is probable that the Russian troops

has proved its naval domination In the

MALEK IN TOPEKA.
Plays Here at so Cents-In
Kansas City at $500.

The prices for seats for the engage
ment of Ottaker Malek, the wonderful
Bohemian piano virtuoso, at Kansas
City range from 81 to 81. The price of
admission at the Auditorium in Topeka
on Monday evening, February %, will
be 80 cents. 1t will be seen by this that
the music lovers of Kansas City will
have to pay four times as much as the
patrons of music in Topeka for the
best seats to hear Malek. who is ad-
mitted to be one of the greatest of all
living pianistS, the peer of Paderewski.
The exceptional opportunity offered
to the people of Topeka is appreciated.
Already parties are being made up to
attend the Malek performance, and in
quiries are coming in from people liv-
ing outside of Topeka who are planning
to come to Topeka to hear this great
artist rather than go to Kansas City,
where the admission price is four times
as great.
The reason Topeka gets this artist at
prices lower than those charged in
other cities Is found in the fact that
circumstances arose which prevented
Maleks managers from finding an en-
gagement for him on February % in a
larger city, and as the tour was already
mapped out. the managers were glad
to make arrangements to have him ap-
pear in Topeka that night for a smaller
sum of money than he gets elsewhere.
rather than to miss the performance
entirely.

THIEF DEAF AND DUMB.
He Was Helping Himself to County
Coal.

Thomas Vaughn, janitOr of the court
house and special custodian of the
building and it's contents at night, had
an experience with a bold, bad burglar
last night.
Vaughn, who sleeps in the court
house, heard some one loading coal
from a pile in the court house back
yard. Vaughn armed himself with
police whistle and revolver and saun-
Tered out to see what was going on and
WHY. He saw a man diligently at work
loading coal into n wheelbarrow. He
grasped his revolver tightly and slipped
up behind the man.
What yer doin' - Numbered Vaughn
in his most stentOrian tones.
The man did not look around but
kept on loading coal.
''hey, what are we doin' 2" shouted
Vaughn again.
The man heaved another big lump OF
coal into the wheelbarrow.
Vaughn didn't understand what was
the trouble. He drew his police whistle
and blew a long, loud blast. Still the
man kept right on loading coal.
Then Vaughn slipped up little
closer to the man and fired off his re-
volver not at the man but at the sky
The man stopped, looked up slowly,
turned around as if he might possibly
have heard some slight noise. He saw
Vaughn. he saw the revolver.
The coal thief was deaf and dumb
and he began talking with his fingers.
Vaughn motioned TO him to unload the
man did so as quickly as he could.
Vaughn IS accustomed to surprising
thieves and not having them scare at
his approach.

to control seems hardly worth fighting
for in itself from the viewpoint of the re-
mainder of the world.
American products, both manufactured
and otherwise, are popular in Korea, but
the very large proportion reach that
country through China and Japan, and
the direct trade of the United States with
Korea is extremely small It is only
within comparatively short time that
the direct trade of the United States with
Korea was of sufficient Importance to

ports from the United States to Korea

While this is a rapid growth it does not
show the entire valuation of merchan-
disc from the United States entering Ko-
rea. Many of these articles from the
United States consumed in Korea are sent
first to japan or China and from those
countries shipped into Korea The value
of American petroleum consumed in ko-

With Japan victor at sea, the military
expert believes that Japan's transporta
ton facilities would be far superior to
Russia's. He points out that the ST.
berian railroad is exceedingly vulner-
able, that it would require an immense
force to guard it, and that at the best
its facilities cannot serve for the MAIN
tenance of more than 100000 men. On
the other hand, Japan. with her rail-
roads and harbors and with her short
sea haul. should be able to land an
expeditionary force superior to any
force that Russia by means of her land
communications can concentrate against
her in four months"
The personal factors-bravery brains,
enthusiasm, discipline-are less amen
able to calculation but both the mill
tary and the naval experts believe in
their best judgment that the japanese
are the superior.
Actuated by a consciousness of right
and the instinct of SELF preservation, lit
tie Japan is going forward with her
preparations for the struggle with the
Bear.
