ABOUT JAPAN.
A Good Article Respecting Her Sudden
Leap to Glory.


The war between Japan and Rus
sia, is i'll its results, surprising,
not only to Russia, but to the civ
ilized world. Whether the Japan
ese really expected such success, is
a question; but who, outside of ia
pan, supposed her to possess such
soldiers, such fighters, such gener.
ais, such unsel6sh devotion, such
determination, and finally, such
success2
It is safe to say that few conserv-
ative, thinking people could give
the Japanese credit for being some
of the greatest fighters of modern
times, for being as well skilled in
the maneuvers of war as any people
on earth; for having stronger gov.
ernment than any other peopls ev-
er dreamed they had and for being
such able generals an1 such irwin
cible ''men behind the gun," as to
overcome the strongly built and
strongly protected retreats of the
great Russians time and again when
experts said 1t could not be done.
'Tis said that Oyama is as great
a general as Napoleon. Perhaps
Oyama has had harder task ahead
of him than ever Napolson had,
aud it is safe to say that the ''Great
Frenchman" never performed task
better than the stoid japanese.
| Who can foretell the future OF
Jal.an in the event that Russia
makes peace with Japan. or let US
be t,ir. and say, in>case Russia and
| Jas n make peace?
l-erhaps japan has within it tbs
pos ,bility of one of the greatest ma
tiues the world has ever known
. An would we not be glad to see i
SO? Would we not be willing fol
any nation to become great as Ions
as is greatness isafounded on moth
ing. than truth, enterprise, enlight
enment and liberty? We hav'
! nothing We hope to be afraid o
ashamed of; and as long as tits sc
J we are glad that right triumphs

&c N.;In

The case OF w. l.. I4attimer. charged
with unlawfully interfering with the
electric wires of the San Francisco Gas
and Electric Light Company, was, on
motion of Assistant District Attorney
Ashe dismissed by Judge Cook yester-
day on the ground that the evidence
was insufficient TO convict. A demurrer
to the information had been interposed
and argument was set for Yesterday,
but the notion to dismiss obviated the
necessity of any argument. The Judge
remarked later that he would have sus-
tanned the demurrer.
Lattimer lived in lodging house at
1884, Market street. and an in
spector of the gas and electric
light company discovered that an cleo
tric wire had been tapped and the
rooms were Icing lighted free Of
charge. Lattimer. who is an electrician.
was arrested on May 26. and was held
to answer before the Superior Court
In explanation of the dismissal of the
case the District Attorney said that the
real culprt was the proprietor of the
lodging house, who was blind, and
there was no desire to proceed against
him owing to his blindness. Besides
ut the last session of the Legislature an
act was passed making the tapping of
wires Il misdemeanor.
