katsura's Interview.

katsura's Interview.
Count Katsura commenced the in
terview by expressing great apprecia-
ton OF American sympathy for Japan
IN the present crisis and for her I'M
broken friendship during the past fifty
years. But noticing in our journals
occasional expressions of solicitude for
the future he said: There seems to
be vague fear among your people
that perhaps, after all, Japan is not
quite what she is said to be, and at
least they are apprehensive in case
she should attain to a position of lead
ership in Eastern Asia, and that her
influence might be exercised in ways
injurious to the rightful interests of
Western nations, and in particular to
gion."
That certainly is a candid statement
of the case. Count Katsura then took
up the charge that this is a war OF
race against race, and religion against
religion. He said

The Argument Against Japan.

THE argument against Japan is
sometimes put in this form-Russia
stands for Christianity and Japan for
Buddhism, The truth is that Japan
stands for religious freedom. This is
a principle embodied in her constitu-
ton, and her practice is in accord with
that principle. In Japan a man may
be Buddhist, a Christian, or even
a Jew, without suffering for it. This
is so clear that no right-minded man
acquainted with Japan would ques-
ton it. We have Christian churches
In every large city, and in almost
every town in Japan, and they all
have complete freedom to teach and
worship in accordance with their own
convictions. These churches send out
missionaries to extend the influence
of Christianity from one end of the
country TO the the other as freely as
such a thing might be done in the
United States. There are numerous
Christian newspapers and magazines.
Christian schools, some of them con-
Quoted by foreigners and some by
by Japanese. are found everywhere.

Christianity in Jnnnn.

In passing 1t may perhaps be worth
while to ask the question: How far
do the facts to be found in Russia
correspond with all of the facts above
stated? The number Of those pro-
Tossing Christianity in Japan do not
know, but it must be a large number
with much larger number who are
Christians in their Affiliations. The
Japanese Christians are not confined
to any one rank or class. They are
to be found among the members of
the National Diet, the judges in the
courts, the professors in the univer-
stiles, the editors OF the leading secu-
lar papers, and the officers of the
army and navy. Christian literature
has entrance into the military and
naval hospitals, and a relatively large
number of the trained nurses en-
ployed in these places are Christian
women. Recently arrangements have
been made by which six American and
British missionaries and six Japanese
Christian ministers are to accompany
the armies in Manchuria in the capa,-
city Of spiritual advisers to the Chris
tan soldiers. Japan stands for re-
lisious freedom. To abandon that
principle, either now or in the future,
would be to violate the constitution,
and would create deep dissatisfaction
throughout Japan What then becomes
Of the argument that Russia stands
for Christianity and japan for Buddh-
ISM"
After discussing at length the essen
tial elements OF Western civilization
so heartily adopted by Japan. Count
Katsura concluded the interview with
these words:

MONEY IN MEXICO.
Foreigners Own $767, 151, $40 Worth
OF Mexican Railroad Stock.

Austin. Tex, March 23.-The Mexi-
can government has just issued a re-
port showing the amount of capital
invested by foreigners in railroads of
that country, exclusive of the subsidies
paid by the government for the con-
structfon of many of the roads. The
amounts are in Mexican currency and
show that the total sum of foreign cap
ital invested was $767, ISL, $40. In addi-
ton to this, the government has paid
IN subsidies to these roads the sum of
S151 PSI, 096, Mexican currency
There are f1fty-five railroads in Mexi-
co which were constructed exclusively
with Mexican capital, but they have a
total mileage of only about 1850 miles
The exclusively Mexican roads are
mostly of the narrow gauge type, their
average length being only about fifty
six miles. The great railroad systems
of Mexico, such as the National and
the Mexican Central, were built by
American capital. The most important
of the railroads which are classed as
having been built with Mexican capital
crosses the isthmus of Tehuantepec
This road was begun. however. a great
many years ago by Americans, and
several million dollars were expended
in the attempt to construct it before it
was taken hold of by the Mexican gov
eminent.
In addition to the money expended in
the construction of railroads in Mexico,
several million dollars of American
capital has been invested in railroad
equipment. This is not included in the
government report from which the
above figures are taken.

COSTS TOO MUCH.
Railroad President Fells Why Con-
struction Work Has Decreased,

In explaining the reason why railroad
building has fallen off considerably so far
this year, compared with last, the
president of one of the larger systems
says:
normal amount of rails and other mater
ial, although the total does not nearly APP
proXimate that of the last three or four
abnormal years. In the depression of 1888
96 most of the railroads cut off eQuipm ent
and construction and even maintenance
as much as possible and as one result of
this there has been for three years a ire
mendous struggle to get up with the sit
uation.
1T is my opinion that the railroads of
this country must face the proposition of
larger operating expenses. There are at
this must be so. First, the higher wage
schedules; second, the congestion of traf-
fic; third, the higher cost of materials.
Il have every reason to believe that
railway traffic will keep up The traffic
now is ahead of equipment facilities on
practically every important road in this
country. For four years now the rail-
roads have been under tremendous pres
sure trying 20 keep equipment up to traf-
f1c requirements, but they have not been
able to do so.
This being an admitted fact, most peo-
pie would think the present an opportune
time to build new roads. If the present
railroad system is inadequate to carry the
traffic, why would not new lines pay, and
why are not more new lines under con-
struction?
THAT can best be answered by an ac-
tuaI experience. A railroad president IL
short time since had a proposed new line
surveyed. 1t was to run through an open
country, of easy grades, and with no
costly excavations or fills. The survey
was made and the plans drawn for a
gravel roadbed, oak ties and S5-pound
steel rails. The estimate of cost was $751;
coo a milei
THAT road is not built yet and prob
ably won't be built until wages. cost of
material, etc, are considerably lower than
they are now. If it is going to cost $751;
COO a mile to build road through an
open country, what will it cost by the
time terminals and GCuiDncntS in
cluded, and how can the road be used to
make a profit in the per mile cost?"

Only one flaw marred the otherwise
complete success of this rising states

only unconquered foe. For thirty years
he waged unsuccessful warfare against
this personal enemy. At last Peruna
came to the rescue, and he dictated
the following letter to DR.. Hartman as
the result:

BACK TO HIS POST.
Michael Conroy, Who Has Been in
Topeka, Returns to San Marciai.

Michael Conroy, who was formerly
a foreman on the Rio Grande division,
arrived in the city yesterday from To-
peka, says the Albuquerque Journal,
where he has been temporarily trans
ferred on account of a reduction in the
business of the Rio Grande division.
He will report back to San Marcial
for duty and left for that point last
night. He came in as a messenger,
bringing in the 967, one of the Santa
Fe decaDods, which will be assigned tor
duty on the Arizona division as soon
as it is put in shape at the shops here.
There were three of the big ones came
in yesterday with the 967 Messenger
A A. Galloway brought in the s6S,
Messenger c. E. Mccormick the $50.
and Messenger John Deyer, the go. ON
the tender of the 967 some poetical
wag wrote with chalk: Hush, little
engine, don't you cry, for you'll be
in the scrap pile by-an-bie." They are
monster engines and made quite a pic
ture yesterday afternoon in front of
the Santa F'e depot.
