NORMAN DECLARES
DAY OF RECKONING
AWAITS ENGLAND

NEW YORK, March 21.-Under the
title THE War and After" Henry Nor
man, NJ. p, discussed the probable
after-effects Of the Russo-Japanese war
in the forthcoming number of the
Worlds Work. He says that it is most
important that one fact should be
clearly realized-that "it is a fight for
the control of China. Korea and Man
churia are subordinate issues. The real
object is predominance in Peking,
bringing with it the ultimate domina-
ton of the Far East, and in the future
headship of all the Asiatic lands" He
points out the probability of war in
the Near East, and says:
Already the flames of hostility to
England are visible almost everywhere
in Europa manifestation which is
not at all surprising in view of the lam
guage of so much of the London press.
From the highest to the lowest modera-
ton of language, respect for the feel
ings of other nations and a sense of re-
sponsibility appear TO have vanished
from many newspapers Denunciation
of Russia is as extravagant as lauda-
ton of japan is exaggerated, and is
making England host of fresh enc
mics every week. For all this a day of
reckoning will surely come, for the pas
sion aroused against England will have
reached it's climax when, II this hap
pens. Russia having evacuated Man
churia, Japan requests the powers to
recognize the retrocesson of Manchuria
to China and to decree the end of the
war Then England is likely to learn
the result of her Asiatic conduct.
I'm conclusion 1 will venture upon
one prophecy, namely, that the result
of this war will be for Russia a bless
ing in disguise. The policy of expan-
sion everywhere, at any cost and any
method whether of arms or diplomacy.
together with it's upholders, will be dis
credited. The canker at the heart OF
Russia-the corruption of her beauro-
cracy-will be cut out. The statesmen
who desire to curtail military expendi-
ture and to encourage Russian produc-
ton and commerce will come back tc
power. The Car will push aside oppo-
sition to the ideals of humanity and
peace that he cherishes."

ARMY ATTACHE

SEOUL, March 21.-The Japanese
have stopped Brigadier General Henry
T. Allen, formerly chief Of the Philip
pine Constabulary and now United
States military observer with the Jap
anese army at Pingyang. requesting
him not to proceed nearer their out
posts.

Hayashi have received decorations of
the first class of Paikuk. Minister
Aliens decoration was conferred in
recognition of his valuable counsel and
long intimacy with the Emperor.
Marquis Ito, in an audience with the
Emperor. urged the gradual adoption
of Korean reform measures, thus
avoiding the confusion due to the pre-
cipitate measures Of 1895.

ST PETERSBURG, March 21.-It
appears that during the bombardment
of the islands in front of Dalny the
japanese seriously damaged the Red
Cross building. The Russian Govern
ment protests against this as a breach
of civilized methods of warfare.
One Of the highest officials of the
Foreign Office to-day said:
Without any doubt, according to re-
ports received, the Japanese have made
use of missiles giving off poisonous
gases. 1t is not an idle assertion
He also expressed the satisfaction
felt at the more favorable turn in
American sentiment toward Russia

TO ANNEX KOREA
IS THE AMBITION
OF THE MIKADO

ST. PETERSBURG, March 21-
Vladivostok papers, which have just
arrived here, say that a member of
the japanese consulate declared on
the eve of his departure that it was
Japan's ambition to drive the Rus
slams across the Amur, restore Man
churia to China and annex Korea.
The Vladivostok editors find it al
most impossible to issue their papers.
The supply of paper is practically ex-
hausted; they cannot get UP steam in
the press boilers, because the horses
which carted the water have been
taken: most of the reporters and COM
positors have either been called to the
colors or have boited, and no adver-
tisements are being received.

Japanese May Not
Attempt Passage
of the alu.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LONDON, March 21.-Military eX-
perts in touch with Japanese authori-
tative circles predict that Japan's for
ward movement will be in full swing
by the end Of this month. They say
that the ice is now leaving the harbors
at all favorable landing points and that
the AIikado's army is eager to get to
work. In a conversation with an ad-
wiser of the Toxic Government he gave
the following forecast of Japanese ope-
rations:
In the first place, wherever possible
frontal attacks on intrenched positions
will be avoided; If the Russians, con-
trary to the expectations Of the Toxic
authorities, determine stubbornly TO
contest the passage of the Yalu River
the Japanese will not assail the Mus
covite line there, but will simply for
tify and intrench their own position
against an invasion of Korea. Should
the Russians assemble at the Yalu in
such numbers as to render the Japan
ese positions untenable the forces thus
ousted will fall back on the line be-
tween Pingyang and Wonsan, where
a desperate stand will be made.
AS a matter of fact, the Mikado's
generals expect that the enemy not
only will never reach Pingyang in large
numbers, but also that the Russians
will never seriously undertake cam
paign south of the Yalu. They declare
that If the unexpected occur they will
land their forces by sea in the rear of
the Russians, by which means they
hope to give the invaders all the en-
tertainment they could possibly desire.
1t can be seen from this outline that
the plans Of the islanders for the Kp-
rean campaign are primarily defensive.
They will begin their offensive cam
paign elsewhere, possibly at New
chwang or point farther west, on the
! Chinese side of Lao River, or posi-
bly, on the coast of Korea Bay. They
hope in any case to be able to turn
back the Muscovite forces. They think
it highly probable that they can afford
to push on to Harbin.

ELDER STATESMEN
OF JAPAN OPPOSED
RECOURSE TO ARMS

PARIS, March 22.-Baron de Rosen,
former Russian Minister to Japan. who
arrived to-day at Marseilles, refused to
be interviewed, but a correspondent Of
the Journal who travelled with him from
Port Said telegTaphs a summary Of nu-
merous conversations he had with the
Baron aboard ship. According to this
correspondent, Baron de Rosen said
that since October last the talk of war
had been general In Japan, the Chau-
whist party heating public opinion by
stating that Japan would defeat Russia
as she had defeated China, and would
be certain of the support of Great Brit
ain and the United States. The Mikado
and most Of the Elder Statesmen were
opposed to the war, the Baron said,
and Count Inouye said the country
would be ruined, whether victor or
vanquished. Count Matsukata, another
of the Elder Statesmen, expressed the
same view. and Baron Komura, the
Japanese Foreign Minister, advised the
continuance of friendly negotiations,
but the Ministers of War and Marine
were absolutely determined to fight.
If the matter rested solely with the
Cabinet and the Elder Statesmen, said
the Baron to the correspondent, the
conflict would have been avoided, but
the Cabinet, with the object of embar-
RAISING Parliament, which had refused
10 vote supplies, allowed the press TO
stir up the Chauvinist spirit until it
got beyond control. The1l the Ministry,
finding that il had to choose between
satisfying the Chauvinists and resign
ing, chose the former course, and war
became inevitable, the Mikado and his
counselors being dragged into the pop
ular movement.
The naval and military authorities,
the Baron said, were fully prepared
and the censorship began to work
fortnight before the rupture Of rela-
tions. the censOrs intercepting all tele-
grams between the Russian Govern
ment and its representatives in Japan,
finally, on February s, stopping the
Russian note transmitted by. Viceroy
Alexieff to Baron de Rosen. That
same day the Cabinet held a secret sit
ting. and a few minutes after the sit
ting broke up the japanese squadrons
put to sea
The Baron does not believe defeat
will cause a revolution in Japan, but
he says it will result in endless changes
in the Cabinet.

and fast and panic reigned among the

PANIC IN PORT ARTHUR
FOLLOWS BOMBARDMENT
BY JAPANESE WARSHIPS
Eye Witness Describes First Tor
pedo Attack and the Subse-
quent Battle.

The bombardment of Port Arthur by
the guns of the Japanese fleet on the
morning of February did little dam
age to property, but it's moral effect
could hardly have been greater on the
noncombatants had the Mikado's shells
turned the Manchurian city upside
down. So says c.. II. Browning. an Of
ficer of the British Royal Artillery,
who arrived yesterday on the liner
Coptic and who was at Port Arthur on
the night the Japanese fleet made the
torpedo attack which opened hostil-
tiles, and the following day, during
which the port was bombarded.
Browning was on leave and Just
happened in Port Arthur at the IN
teresting moment. OF the torpedo boat
attack he knows nothing from his own
observation, for all night long he slept
soundly on board the British ship
Wenchow. When he reached Port Ar
thur, which he did on the morning or
the attack, he found the hotels crowd
ed. Unable to find comfortable quar-
ters ashore. he accepted the hospital
ity of Wenchow's commander and was
sleeping while the Japanese torpedoes
were busy wrecking Russian war ves-
sells.
The torpedoes exploded several hun
dred yards from where the Wenchow
lay. but if they made any noise 1 did
not hear it," said he. Il was asleep,
but am a light sleeper and had the
noise been great it certainly would
have aroused me. The next morning
saw the two battleships Retvizan and
Cesarevitch aground. 1t seemed then
that neither vessel would ever go into
commission as a warship again, al
though as long as the Russians held
Port Arthur the Retvizan would be
valuable as a fortress. She was
jammed on the rocks just as solidly
as if built there, and was well above
water at high tide. AS she Law, her
batteries had a wide scope, and, al
though seemingly a hopeless wreck, she
was still in a position to give a good
account of herself should the enemy
come within range of her guns. The
Cesarevitch, I understand. had a huge
hole in her bow. 1 could not see it when
l passed her."
