OLD AND NEW JAPAN.
In Days OF Yore the Industrial PIu.
toeraf Was Not Known In
That Country.

In old japan there were few violent
contrasts between rich and poor. and,
In fact, the Industrial plutocrat was
unknown, says the London Mail. The
nobly born were rich, if rich at all,
only in land and rice. and they were
not envied. as they seem to belong to
the natural order Of creation. But to-
day the tradesman and the manufac-
turer. who were once almost the lowest

Of the soil are becoming insolently
rich and are the real lords of Japan
while the children Of Samurai are glad
to. get small clerkships from those
whom their fathers despised.
| have been spending much time in
darkest Toxic of late. and the micro
scopic misery to be found there would
make story appalling to those who
fancy that Japan is nothing but sway
ing lanterns and softly falling cherry
blossoms Buying and selling is con-
duesed on such an infnitesimal scale
among these submerged wretches that
the sum Of sixpence will provide a
handsome stock for a hawker in popu-
lar lines Of food
Among these unfortunates, who
often walk the streets at night for the
want Of a half-penny to engage lodg-
ings on a damp floor swarming with
vermin, one hears the doctrines Of
Proudhon and Ferdinand Lassalle dis
cussed volubly Their works have been
translated into little pamphlets and
read TO the illiterate by the occasional
schoia- who carries a few thousand
ideagraphs in his brain.
Japan has come so far" they all
say; why will it not be well to go
he entire route. or at least SO far as
The ideal state?"
Poor. hungry. bedragged dreamers!
But they are not alone, for the Japan
see of all ranks outside of the bour-
yeoisie and the great mobiles are ask

Easy to get a government that repre-

nanifestly imperfect?

British Troops Reach HASA.

L'Hassa. Thibet, Aug. 6.-Delayed in
ansmission.-The British expedition
is encamped mile from the sacred
mountain OF Potalas on which Is sit
uated the dalai lama's palace and in
the immediate vicinity Of the dalai
lama's private gardens. Colonel
Younghusband has received a ceremo-
nial visit from the amban, who prom
ised to assist in arriving at a settle
ment and made gifts Of food to the
British troops. The appearance Of the
city shows the descriptions of explor-
ers to be extremely accurate. The sur
roundings are very fertile and the
whole place gives evidence of great
prosperity.
A brilliantly costumed group
watched the approach OF the expedi-
tion from the door of one Of the struc.
lures on Potala mountain.

Situation at Port Arthur.

Che Foo, Aug. 8, 6 a. m.@The firming
which was heard last night continued
to $3.50 o'clock this morning. A junk
which left Port Arthur August 9Th re-
ported that there had been no hostile
movements since July 2Sth. except ex-
changes between the batteries. The
Russian battleships Pobieda, Retvizan.
Poltava and Peresviet fire occasionally,
which was probably what was heard
last night.
An engineer who is familiar with
Port Arthur states that it will take
the Japanese four weeks to fOrtify the
captured hills and plant siege guns,
which will require strong foundations
in the face of the Russian fire.
1t is stated positively that Vice Ad-
miral Skyrdloff was not on board the
Russian tropedo boat destroyer Lieu
tenant Burukoff, which visited New
Chwang about a month ago. and which
was sunk on one of her return trips
from that port.
This last batch of refugees. several
of whom witnessed part of the three
days fighting of the week before last.
deny that the aJpanese were one verst
(sixty-six hundredths of a mile) from
the Russian fortress They say the
Japanese troops are from ten to fifteen
versts from the inner forts.
The Japanese are busy endeavoring
to work their trenches nearer the
fortress. The Russian resistance to
these efforts is confined to the use Of
artillery, which ceaselessly harnesses
the diggers. The japanese are said to
have sixty guns in position on VOLTS
hill and vicinity. and it is evidently
their intention to slowly and surely
tighten their moose around Port Ar
thur.
A refugee who witnessed the fight
ing at VOLTS hill on July Goth and 9th
declares that 1000 Russian troops de-
Tended that position. all the approaches
to which had been protected with ter
races at angle of forty-five degrees. In
many instances the Russian soldiers
dropped their rifles and rolled rocks
down on the enemy with effect more
fatal than their bullets. The Russian
mines were cleverly concealed in an
open field. Their composition was as
follows:
At the bottom of layer of high ex-
plosive, next a layer of rocks, and the
whole covered with sod. The explo-
sion of those mines threw the rocks for
a distance Of one or two versts. 1t is
alleged that with the exception OF
four men who were captured. two
squadrons OF japanese cavalry were
wiped out by the explosion OF such
mines.

story Of Naval Battle.

Che Foo. Aug. "a reliable author
ity says that eight Russian warships
participated in the recent three-days-
battle at Port Arthur. Since then the
Sevastopol and the Amur have been
repaired.
1t Is presumed that the fghting re-
ferred to was the engagement reported
by General Stoessel. commander of the
Russian military forces at Port Ar
thur, to have occurred July 26, 27 and
2S.
During the last twenty-four hours
200 Chinese and fifty Russian refugees
have arrived from Port Arthur. Almost
all left there August 4th. 1t has been

Unconhrmed Report That Port Ar

to Be Falling Back Before kuroki.
st. Petersburg, Aug. 9.-The city Is
full of wild rumors that Port Arthur
has fallen, due to reports from Chez
fortress was taken by the combined
land and sea forces, though the Jap
anese lost three warships, including
the protected cruisers Chiyoda and It.
kushima. There is not the slightest
confirmation of these rumors. 1t Is be-
lieved that the Japanese are still una
BILE to capture the outer works, much
less to capture the fortress itself.
Emperor Nicholas has received the
following dispatch from Viceroy Alex
Jeff, dated at Mukden, August IT:
"Telegrams received to-day from
Port Arthur and from the commander
of the squadron (Rear Admiral Wit
hoeft) state that the cruisers Bayan,
Askold, Pallada and Novik and some
gunboats steamed out of the harbor
on July 26th for the purpose Of bonn
harding the enemy's positions. They
were attacked by the Japanese battle
ship Shinyen, the protected cruisers
Chiyoda, Itsukushima and Matsushi-
ma and two second-class cruisers,
with thirty torpedo boats.
IAN eightinch shell from the Bayan
burst in the stern OF the Itsukushima,
placing that ship out Of action. There
upon all of the Japanese ships steered
for the open sea, and at the same time
the Chiyoda was damaged by Rus
sian mine. AS the Chiyoda was sink
ing by the head she steered toward
Talien bay. A shot from battery %
also damaged Japanese gunboat
which was sighted.
"On July 27, in view of the Japan
ese having taken the general offen-
sive against our land positions, the
Bayan, Captain Reitzenstein; the bat
tleship Retvizan, the Pallada, Askold
and Novik, the coast-defense ships
Greiashchi and Otvashni. the gunboat
Giliak and the twelve torpedo boats
under the command of Rear Admiral
Leschinsky were ordered to support
our right flank at the demand Of Lieu
tenant General Stoessel. commander
of the military forces at Port Arthur.
Our ships. preceded by mine
dredges, steamed toward Lungantan,
from where they bombarded the jap
anese rcsitions until three o'clock in
the afternoon.
"On their return, which they effect
ed with the same precautions mine
exploded underneath one of the
dredges.
Rear Admiral Withoeft estimated
that the enemy's naval forces of Port
Arthur July 80 consisted Of Ave bat
the ships four armored cruisers. ten
other cruisers and forty-eight torpedo
craft"

the legality Of picketing and boycott

Mitchell In Paris.

Paris. Aug. 9.-Before the Interna-
tional Miners Congress, which opened
here yesterday. John Mitchell said
Our primary object in coming to
Europe was to obtain information re-
garding existing conditions. The
newspapers of the United States have
often painted the conditions prevailing
among the laborers of Europe as de-
p1orable. After what we have seen wo
are certain that these newspapers ex-
aggerated nothing. and all that they
have printed falls far short OF tho
truth. In Europe the life Of the worker
is held too cheap. while in the United
States the workingman, from every
point OF view, lives under better con-
'ditions."
Mr.. Mitchell's address was received
with enthusiastic applause
