The arrest of young Fuller, the
Iowa college student, who on yester-
day was arraigned before U. S. Com
missioner Gleason in this city, has
caused a tremendous sensation at
Grinnell Fuller was college stu
dent of considerable prominence and
had been connected with the athletic
department, being an athlete of more
or less note. For time he earned
at least portion of his expenses
by waiting on tables at the Hotel
Monroe, but recently lost his job
there. He had borne a good reputa-
ton and because of the fact that he
had been partially earning mis- way
and had undoubtedly become finan-

FIGHTING FOR.

open ilarbor Russia must ether take
possession, in China, or some harbor
as far south as Chefu, or she must
take possession of Korea as far soutn
as Chemulpo, Russia's only need or
Korea is military and commercial.
She does not need Korea as an out
let for her surplus population. She
does not need the mines Of Korea, nor
does she need any power which might
come from the accession of the 10
reans to the Russian throne. She
needs an outlet Russia IS, by reason
Of the very expenditures, she mas made
in Manchuria, more determined han
ever to be free to find open access to
the waters of the Pacific ocean.
Japan desires Korea because ner
population is crowding the home is
land and must have a place in which
to overflow; because the climate the
soil, the products, the environment
generally, are little different from
those at nome, and hence would make
an attractive place for this overflow.
Also she wants Korea because she
cannot afford to have Korea in the
possession Of her arch-enemy, Russia.
If Russia should take Korea, it would
bring the northern bear to the very
portals of the household of Japan. On
the other hand if Japan should take
Korea, it would bring he little yell
low man to the borders of Manchuria.
Neither one can well afford to go to
war over Korea, or for any other
cause; neither can any nation inter
ested in the peace and future CONNER
cial possibilities of the orient willing
ly consent that war should grow be-
tween Japan and Russia over Korea,
or from any other cause. In addition
to her fine, ice-free harbors, which
Russia wants, and access to which
she is determined to have, Korea COM
mands the Yellow sea and the Japan
sea, and Russia wants no aggressive
power like Japan occupying the posi-
ton Korea commands. Korea has fer
tile fields, genial climate, unsurpassed
fisheries, rich mines and room for
growth. Japan wants these, as well
as a place to stand to meet the ag-
gressions of the Slav. Besides, Korea
in Russian hands means a dagger
pointed at the heart of Japan. 1t is
life-and-death struggle for Japan.
She may be only teinting and diplom-
atizing in demanding guarantees as to
trade and privileges in Manchuria

ince, although her commercial trans
actions with the people of Mancnuria

ermen. The Japanese people are a
passionate unit upon this point, and
whatever else may be said or done,
there will be war, and desperate war,
before Japan will willingly consent to

troll of Russia. The Russian people,
on the ohter hand do not favor the
war. For this reason news dispatches

a writer In the Review Of Reviews
points out that the worlds race today
is for commercial supremacy. Amer
lea, England, Germany, France and
Japan are producing more than they
need at home. The contest among
nations is for commercial opportunity
as wen as for commercial supremacy
and the most attractive undeveloped
market is the Asiatic market.
The cause of this war is Russia's
aggression in Asia which Japan be
lieves spells ruin and perhaps national
extinction for her unless checked. Ko'
rea, large peninsula and very fer
tile country projecting from the main
land between the Japan sea and Vel
low sea and almost between Japan
and China, commands the strategic
position in oriental waters. Korea
has been for many centuries nominal
" independent but actually yassal
to bith China and Japan, paying hon.
age to each. For centuries she has
been the pretext of many fights be-
tween Chinese and apanese warriors.
In 1894 the Chinese-Japanese war
was precipitated by China in sending
her troops into Korea. japan defeat
ed China, drove her troops back, sank
her warships and by terms of peace
settlement came into possession of a
large portion of Manchuria, the pro-
vince lying between the Korean pen
Ursula and China proper. The indie
pendence of Korea was guaranteed.
1t is claimed that at the very mo-
ment Ii Hung Chang signed up with
Japan he had a deal on with Russia
to prevent Japan gaining a foothold
on the Chinese mainland. AZ any rate
Russia, backed by Germany, promptly
prevented Japan taking possession of
the territory she had captured in war
and put her off with an indemnity OF
30,000,000 teals, on the ground that her
presence would be a menace to Pellin.
Russia then took possession of Port
Arthur and Manchuria ostensiby to
.pacify" the country, assuring the
powers that her occupancy was only
temporary. At the same time she be-
gan building the Siberian railway, to
spend millions On Notifications. Per-
manent cities, churches, and colonies
were established. In recent years she
has spent in Manchuria more than the
Boer war cost England
