THE POINT OF DISPUTE.

The precise questions at issue be-
tween Japan and Russia are not gen
orally understood The dispatches have
conveyed contradictory accounts Of
both Jaran's demands and Russta's
concessions. Recently 1t was said that
an ultimatum had been sent to 81. Pc
tcrsburg. with Jan, + as the time limit
for a reply. but this was promptly de-
MED. The only thing that is perfectly
clear Is that both countries are pre-
pairing for War on a large scale.
Japan's Indignation at Russia dates
from the struggle with China In 1885,
At that time China claimed 70 be the
guardian Of Coreas and Japan decided
TO Dust China and assume the position
Of guardianship. TO Japan, expansion
Of influence Is as vital as II is for the
European powers, ana the Asiatic ION.
tinent opposite the island empire Is the
natural way out Of ISOLATION. Japan
commenced the war that ended in the
humiliation Of China As u result
Formosa and part Of Manchuria were
coded 10 Japan, This placed Iorea
between Jdgan's territorial frontiers,
gave Japan the greatest military and
naval stronghold in Asia-Port Arthur
and brought her within striking dis
lance Of the capital Of China, The
Japanese were delirlvus with pride.
But at this point Russia stepped in.
Aided by France aud Germany she de-
manded that the ceded part Of Man
churIa BE- returned TO China, Russia
appeared as the good Samaritan among
nations, pretending 10 restore to the
victim Of Japan's greed, the stolen
property. In the role Of phllanthropist
she was upheld By other powers. But
II soon became evident that Russia
stepped in for the purpose Of securing
for herself the booty she had compelled
Japan to give up. Russia built a
branch OF her Trans. Siberian railway
to Port Arthur. which she leased
from China. Russian troops were moved
into Manchuria. Russian officials adj
ministered The government Of the coun-
try, and now Russia occupies and has
virtually annexed the province out of
which she ousted Japan eight years
ago. And this Is not all, Russia has
steadily %encroached on Japan's In
fluence in Corea and has shown a dis
position TO ecu territory and sea
from that nation. The Russians
have thus far bafned the plans OF ia
pan in Corea. This Is the trouble. ia
pan seeks TO force Russian influence
out Of Corea. II she were victorious
In a Russian war, she would, no doubt,
force her out OF Manchuria, too. Vast
interests are at stake on both sides,
Various compromises have been sug-
gested. but the underlying question Is
whether Russia's march toward, and
possession and control of. the Pacific
coast, Is to be checked. There can
be no compromise on that Issue. Rus
sla's diplomacy Is employed to postpone
war, but there is no change In the
policy Of aggression. War may yet be
averted for Il time, but the probability
Is that II win come sooner or later
That Is the view expressed by japanese
statesmen,

RESULT OF IMITATION.

An Associated Press dispatch from
Hazelton, Pa a few days ago told the
story Of girl strikers who initiated their
male brothers to the extent OF ASSAULT
ing their sisters who got tired OF strik-
ing, and defylng the police. About 300
girls employed in silk mills at Hazel
ton quit work three weeks ago and eff
forts were made to MI their places.
Sixteen girls were being escorted
through the streets to the mill by the
chief OF police and a patrolman, when
200 strikers attacked them, Sheriff
Jacobs and seven deputies, so the story
runs, FASTENED to the scene and charg-
ed the mob. But they were as power
less to cope with the strikers as the two
policemen. The officers did not care
to draw clubs on the girls and the dis
order continued nearly an hour. And
thus it is that the gentle sex invades
the sphere Of the party Of the other
part. A glance at the newspapers at

| TEe special committee of the Montgom-
 cri Commercial and Industrial .issocia-
 tlont to secure a lower basis of fire in- smance rates for Montgomery from the
 Southeastern Tariff Association, return ed from Atlanta yesterday morning,
 where they appeared before a meeting of the Association.
 The committee was composed of Chair man Charles P. Anderson, Jacques Loeb, John Tullis, Jr. and l.. L. Gilbert. L.. Strauss and F. D. Kohn from the local board of underwriters also attended the mee ting.
 Chairman Anderson said in reference to the visit:
 r After negotiations between the South eastern Tariff Association and the Com mercial and Industrial Association had progressed some time ago to the point of securing written agreement, 1t was discovered a misunderstanding existed as t0 enc item of the proposed arrangement for reduction. This was a stipulation on the part of the Tariff Association that tine license of Montgomery should be re- dl Ced to a more reasonable basis. This requirement was mentioned in their orig inal letter suggesting what would be nec- cssary for Montgomery to do in order to secure lower rates-but had not been re- ferred to in later correspondence and the committee concluded that IL had been eliminated from the list of requirements. They anticipated. however that 1t might be brought up by the Tariff Association, bu. did not desire to point out the omis- sion beforehand. The Executive Com mittee. however, retained that stipula- tion in the original proposition when the matter came up for a final decision, and hence the negotiations had to be amend ed It was for this purpose that the committee went to Atlanta-to meet the men personally who are members of the committee. explain the Montgomery sit uaton in detail and secure their indi- viGual cooperation and assistance.
 At F o'clock yesterday the committee was granted a hearing. and for an hour ana half the situation was thoroughly discussed The Executive Committee Euvc a most attentive and considerate hearing and promised immediate action thereon. The Association will be formal ly notified of their action by letter. They were therefore especially grat- [ fled in being able to renew so pleasantly old time associations, and spent delight fu hour or so in enjoyable reminiscent ces"
 The committee was cordially greeted and entertained by Atlanta business men.
