War has ceased to influence the do

Russia has done nothing for China.

has built only such railways as would
enable her to send In her troops. She
has outraged the Chinese empire In
shameful manner, and there has never
been any happy combination between
the white bear and the dragon. Rus
sia has long known that war would
ensue at this time, and has laid her
plans accordingly. Perhaps she was
not as well prepared as could have
been wished by her statesmen, but II
is rather to the credit Of the Japanese
than otherwise that they precipitated
the crisis before Russia had fully pre-

The Hague tribunal would have been

Several important Points.
Astoria, Feb. 12.--(Editor The AS
torIan). Japan has no right to jump
on Russia without Just cause. Rus
sia was In Manchuria because of treaty
rights--because Of invitation from
China--and ms long as China does not
complain the rest Of the world ought
to be satisfied, Russia was doing a
whole lot for China, building railroads
cities, mills, schools and churches, and
the arts of peace, including agriculture
and horticulture, The great while bear
and the Chinese dragon were happy
combination. Why should Japan wish
to murder them under the polite name
of war?
Why should Japan insult all mankind
by appealing to brutality rather than
to reason? The Hague tribunal is all
ways ready to adjust any kind of in
ternatlonal difficulties
There was not the least little bit of
cause for war, and the civilized ma
tions OF the world are not doing their
duty IL they stand by and do nothing

The correspondent is mistaken In
several essential features. Japan was
justified in beginning hostllities, and
rather than being censured for her ac
tion, should be condemned for delay

suit of any treaty After the Boxer

crowd of several hundred people. Mr. Fair

thanked the people for their greeting, and
expresses the opinion that the people of the
country will! not vote to return to the bust

The feature of the reception was the
greeting extended to Mr. Fairbanks by Cap

east the roads leading north from Bensihu

feared that Oyama might shift the weight
to his right, thus reversing the situation
at the opening of operations, with Kuropat-

words, duplicating the strategical DISPOSE

Important Developments Expected.
The dispatch of the Associated Press from

doubtless that there will be important de-

however. of the object of the firing, or
which side was the more aggressive.
Some of the newspapers notably the
Russ, boldly hail the Russian success at
Lone Tree Hill as complete evidence that
