war engines with the greatest ease
and effectiveness, does not argue a
radical change in their natures. 1t is
simply a corollary of the marvellous
and complex development which oc-
cupied centuries upon centuries, and
which has made japanese art the Won
der of the world. The old japanese
civilization, unlike some of the OLD
civilizations of Europe, did not mean
elumsiness and lack of training. stu
pidity. ignorance, on the part of the
masses of the people. 1t meant delft
ness of hand and skill of workman
ship, quiekness of thought, the trans
mission of a mass of essentially poetic
folklore. the maintenance of a most
complicated social system. Thus, TO
the japanese, the Adoption of certain
features of Occidental civilization was
easy.
The difference between a Tartar
peasant, who is really barbarian, or
more than half a barbarian, and a
japanese peasant, who is descended
from generations of serfs under the
control of a singularly perfect civili-
cation, is a very material difference
when it comes to progress.

PERSONAL SIDE
CAUSED A FLUTTER.

Quite a fiutter among the Jay after
theater crowd gathered In the palm room
of the New Willard Hotel the other
night was created by the appearance of
Masanao Hanihara. a well-known secre-
tary OF the Japanese legation, whS came
in quietly and sat at a tble with one
Of his friends OF the Diplomatic Corps.
& was the night on which the news Of
Japan's staggering victories on the very
first day Of war had become the current
topic Of conversation throughout the
city.
As Mr.. Hanihara entered he was rec
ognized at once by some of his friends,
who got up TO shake hands with him
and to extend congratulations. The in
cident nad the news soon whispered
about that Mr. Hanihara was a Japan
csc official attracted decided interest.
Many bright eyes We're turned in his
direction and whispered comments ex-
changed. Probably many of those in
the supper room had me- er given thought
to what IA real Jap looked like before.
for 1t was evident that everyone was
studying Mr.. Hanihara very closely.
That he was fully equal to the occasion,
however, was shown by Nr. Hanihars.
who went on talking to his fellow-dipIo-
mat and enjoying his supper without
concern.

Discouraged Mr.. Watson.
William Watson Pessimistic Over the
Lack of Literary Spirit in England.

William Watson, in the February
number of 1.-The Reader" expresses
dependency over what he calls the
state encouragement of literature in
his country. BY this he does not mean
the fact that Alfred Austin is poet
laureate, though that might be con
sidered 2 strong proof of his theory.
AT any rate, he says nothing on that
subject He complains that titles
are not often bestowed on writers,
while they are offered to rich brew =
ers, merchants, soldiers, and others.
Two examples Of failure TO confer
titles on distinguished authors were
shown not long ago, when neither Mr..
Kipling nor Mr.. Watson received Il
title, though Conan Doyle was knight
ed for his services as surgeon in the
Boer war, and several other men Of

The Yellow Peril.
Russia Held Up as the Defender Of
European> Civilization.

An article by the st. Petersburg
correspondent of the "Tribuna," of
Rome, on the attitude of Russia al
the Eastern crisis, is both interesting
and important as showing the views
of certain Russian authorities on the
question. The author of the article
quotes "a well-kRown general as say
ing that Western Europe should bless,
applaud, and encourage Russia for
defending Europe against the yellow
peril" This, he adds, is immense,
since in the hands of the japanese
China would become the most for1ni-
dable enemy of European civilization.
The general in question certainly
had more excuse for his view than
some headlong Americans who have
been shouting for Russia on the
ground that she is Caucasian and
Christian" In the first place there is
10 very good reason for calling the
Russian a Caucasian. Napoleon's
aphorism, Scratch Russian and you
find a Tartar" has never been dis
proved. Those who regard the Greek
Church as of our own type of Chris
iianity might be somewhat surprised
to see how it works on its own ground.
The Russian general quoted, however,
was standing up for his own country,
and some latitude is always to be al
lowed a man in his statements when
he is doing that.
The idea that Japan intends to con-
troll China and Use that country 10 de-
siroy European civilization is absurd
ly chimerical. The main objection to
iany such course is that it would be inn
possible Japan could not control
China for any such purpose. 1t would
take a power very far superior 10
themselves in population, wealth, and
Influence to weld the Chinese into any
lsuch army Of invasion, and Japan Is
lot that power What Japan does
and evidently hopes to do, however
lis TO form So strong a defensive al
lance with China that Oriental civil
Ization will not be overthrow. and the
Oriental made a mere serf to further
the greedy purposes of some Euro
pean power She is fighting TO estab-
lish a sort of Monroe Doctrine along
the Yellow and China Seas, and Il
keep Russia from expanding in that
direction. as circumstances seem {,
!, compel her TO do If she Is TO advanc,
at all. There is very good ground e
, fear that the RusSianizing of China j,
intended. and that this will be fol
lowed on the one side by the tying M
of japan in her own islands, tn
Gripping Of her industries, and Tia
srrestirg Of her progress, and, on tn
other side, by an attack on India
leading to the practical control Of Eu
rope and of the Eastern Hemisphere
Il is this which makes England Us
natural ally Of Japan, half worl
away. and diverts the sympathies o
the civilized world from the eastern
most nation of Errope to the httl
plueky. patriotic people on the edg
Of the Pacific.

HOUSE SEATS CONNELL
BY STRICT PARTY VOTE
How in the Language of Late Speaker Reed, Another
Outrage" Was Committed by the Act

failed i'm this withdrew and themselves
nominated Connen. The other faction
persisted in naming a Democrat. and
nominated Howell The effect Of the
withdrawal of the Connell Democrats.
however, was TO prevent Howell from
going on the Official ballot as the Demo
cratic candidate for Congress. He was
obliged TO run in a third column, out
side OF his party list as a Democrat
The campaign came on and with IL
the great coal strike The miners were
unfriendly TO Connell, because he had
been a coal operator. Howell saw his
chance, Notwithstanding. the difficulties
under which he was running, ana ap-
pealed TO the Democratic Congressional
Committee for help, but that body, con-
sidering his case hopeless, did not even
reply to him declining to give assist
ance; instead II ignored him. When
election day came. however, Howell had
1900 votes and Connell only 1873, and
Howell got the certificate Of election.
Heart Was Broken.
Connelrs heart. was broken. his ambi-
ton crushed. He took his ease before
the election commissioners and lost,
Then he resolved to make a contest in
the House, and as ne is always a gen
erous contributor to the campaign fund
when the Pennsylvania Republican ma
chine wants money, the machine issued
the ukase that Connen should be seated.
From that moment Howell might as Well
have given up all effort to defend his
seat, for he never had even a ghost of a
chance of retaining it a moment longer
than the House could with any sort OF
dignity reach the case and take the
vote
In order TO seat Cornell and unseat
Howell IL was necessary to throw out
sufficient votes TO overcome Howell
lead of 4s1 and give Cornell a majority
which was fixed at 223. Two methods
were adopted 1t was found that in
certain instances a voter desiring to
vote the straight Democratic ticket had
marked his ballot as such at the head
of the column and had failed TO place a
similar mark over the column In which
Howell's name appeared. for although a
Democrat he was forced by the action
of the Connell Democrats to run In an
independent column
The election officers counted, in vari-
Gus instances. these ballots for Howell.
as II was clearly evident the individual
voter intended they should be counted
In strong Democratic precincts these
were thrown out. Again, and this is
really the humorous part of the contest.
Howell was charged with fraud, yet
Howell probably has not a dollar in the
world beyond his salary-and he was
superintendent of schools before he
came to Congress-whiie Connel is a
multimillionaire whose liberality is the
boast Of his friends.
VOluzne after volume of testimony was
taken by the contestant in the case
which even members Of the committee
which decided the contest admitted they
did not read. yet the majority accepted
without question the report Of the ma
jcrity Of the committee which seated
Connell.

A MisappreEension.
The Difference Between Japanese and
Semi BaIbariars.


The Philadelphia Press which is
usually careful about its statements.
maceountably referred TO the Japa-
nose not long ago as a people recently
sprung from barbarism. II is about
time that this misapprehension should
disappear. While the civilization Of
the japanese Is unlike our own, and
many Of their traditions and customs
are the reverse of ours, they are IN no
sense barbarians. They had a civil
cation Of great complexity and beauty
Ia an age when the forefathers OF
every European were skipping about
the forests clad in skins and fighting
with primitive weapons.
japanese civilization as il exists at
the present day is essentially that of
old Japan, in spirit and tradition,
though the changes which have taken
place in its outward form are so great
81 to seem a transformation 10 the
careless eye Of the traveller. The fact
that the japanese have, within a few
years, learned to use modern appli-
snces Of civilization, publish newspa-
pers, run railway trains, and, as their
latest exploits show, manage modern
