 European residents in New-Chwang were all agreed in expressing their lik- ing for the Russian personally, but equally agreed in their contempt for technical military qualifications. ''The Russians held this city until July" said one whose position and training gave him the right to peak with author ity. During that time they had very large force here. Only once in all those months did the field artillery practice with ammunition. One night there was false alarm; next day. the batteries went outside and blazed away at tar gets for some hours. The infantry praeticed at running targets, moving dummies, but they never used actual cartridges, simply aiming at the dunn mics and clicking their empty rifles Nearly all the officers left drill to the llon-commissioned officers. Our back streets were alive at night with sounds of song. and everybody had a good time" This is not the way modern i wars are won.
 . The Russian is handicapped by his lack of Individuality. The soldiers move and seem to think in masses; every Japanese believes himself an army in himself. At the battle of Ten-Sui- Tien heavy force of Russians was sent out to guard the right flank A much smaller force of Japanese went out to drive them back. The Japanese } scattered by ones and twos. Some wriggled up gullies. some slipped from tree to tree. Soon from three hundred points rifle fire broke out. The Rus. ! sian believed that an overwhelming army was attacking them, and retired.

}. THE CAPE cop eANAL.

Although these are the days, of the railroad, they are not bad days for the canal The United States is already at work on the Isthmus, and now the an- nouncement Is made that the long-dis- cussed Cape Cod canal is likely soon to be a reality. The company in charge of the making of the Cape Cod canal has obtained permission, by special act of the General Court of Massachu- setts, to build canal from the shore line in Buzzards Bay up to the shore line in Massachusetts Bay, an actual distance of seven and one-half miles, to which will be added approaches ap- Iproximating four and one-half miles more. A saving of from sixty-three to 146 miles will be effected between points north and south of Cape Cod, and be- sides avoiding the fogs of Vineyard Ha- ven Sound, and the shifting Nantucket shoals, the new route will offer a way of escape from the serious gales inci- dent to passage around the Cape. Es- inmates of traffic of the Boston Cham- Der of Commerce make it appear that mot less than sO,ooo vessels will annual Fly make use of the canal. @
 Considering the peculiar formation of Cape Cod and the apparent gain to coastWise traffic the canal will be, it is surprising that the matter has not been heretofore brought to the point it has now assumed. The officers of the company have announced the complete financing of the enterprise, including the depositing with the State Treasurer of $200,000 for the right of way for the canal, the construction of which will occupy three years and cost about $12,- OOo, ,oO0. >~.~ ,a .~r':"

NOT PREPARED.

President Mellen is reported as say ing that New Haven doesn't know
 what she wants in the cut matter. Pres
 ident MelIen has hardly been here long enough to thoroughly know New Ha- ven. and he is a little impatient. He
 evidently thinks New Haven ought to know what she wants in such matter.
 Perhaps she ought to, as things go in
 some other places, but New Haven Is
 not some other places. It is New Ha- ven. And when New Haven gets thoroughly ready to know what she wants she knows. It takes time to
 bring about that readiness, and it takes much talk. known as discussion, and some writing. There hasn't
 been enough of either in the cut matter yet, and so of course New Haven isn't prepared. If President Mellen is doubt
 full about New Haven's ability to make up her mind he can learn something
 about both the ability to do it and the
 process of doing it by going over the I files of the Journal and Courier during
 the Old State House controversy. Per haps never were New Hayen's thorough
 preparation for a decision and her
 power to make decision so clearly
 and strikingly shown as in that contro-
 versy. Everything from misty moon-
 beams to Greek art figured in the pre-
 liminaries, and finally it was decided to . tear down the noble old ruin. To be
 sure, many of the People didn't want to I tear it down. and even unto this day l there is bitterness in the hearts of many I because it was torn down. But. the de-
 cision was made, even though it looked lat one time quite as hopeless as the I cut matter does.
 \. We do not boldly assert that the peo.
 pie of New Haven will ever know what they want in the cut matter, but we
 believe they will, because there was once matter that they finally did
 know what they wanted in. They art Enot prepared concerning the cut. N

IMMIGRANTS AND IMMIGRAN NTs.

The net balance outward was 127,592 During the year 271 435 British and Irish persons left Great Britain for Enon-European countries, as compared with 259,95O in 1903 and 205,662 in 1902
 The foreigners numbered 174,354, against 1S1, ,53s in 1903 and 174,291 in 1902. Of the total number of native emigrants English passengers formed 65 per cent, Scotch 14 per cent. and Irish 21 per cent, as against 6S, IA and IS per cent, respectively, in the preceding year. Of the total emigration 152,169, or S4 per cent, went to places within the British empire, including 91, 6S4 to British North America and 32,27S to British South Af- rica, The remaining SOL ,70S, or 66 per cent, went to various countries, includ-

HANDIcAPs OF RUSSIA.
Where Her Troops Are Inferior tc

Where Her Troops Are Inferior to
 2 Those of Her Foe.
 War is a cold, exact business, writes F. A. Mckenzie, war correspondent of The London Mail. The Russian be-
 lieved that war is a contagious im-
 pulse. This, in brief, is the mistake that
 hurried 50,000 Russians to death and 100000 to a maimed future.
 Brave heart, nerves of steel and strong limbs no more make man a successful canpaigner than they would qualify him to guide a giant liner
 across the Atlantic. In either case he must have these qualities, but they are only the beginning of his equipment.
 Many Russians thought that they were the whole. @ The old idea, fostered by writers of romance, that man can rcarouse all
 day, making wine, women and song fill his life until the hour of. battle, and that he can then go forth to conquer, | fingered in the minds of the Russian
 officers. It is now slowly departing,
 but not before it has done the great est harm to their cause. &., .r r,,55zs-- No more piquant contrast is possible than these two adversaries. The Rus sian is demonstrative, brilliant, dash ing. If he likes you, he takes you to
 his heart at once in an exuberance of
 good fellowship. At the beginning of
 the war, after a fierce little fight, it was related with amusement by the
 officers in our camp how the Russians
 who had come out alive fell on one
 another's necks, kissed and embraced, ! and openly thanked God. ,~ = ' The Japanese is covered with an im- penetrable mask of reserve. You may
 know him for six months, and at the end reflect bitterly to yourself that you have never seen below the surface of his character. He is plodding rather [ than brilliant, master of details, often a slave to routine. He is unfailingly polite, and his conduct is ever beyond reproach. But sometimes one would
 welcome breakdown Of the courtesy,
 if it would enable you to reach the l heart of the man.
