JAPAN CONNECTED WITH
GREAT BRITAIN BY RAIL

The completion of the seoul.Fusan railway is an ey-
ent of international importance, for it marks a definite
period in the construction of a through line that will con
meet Fusan with the whole Of Europe. The trip from
Toxic to London will then require but a few hours of sea
travel. The Korean straits and the straits of Dover are
the eastern and western sea barriers which separate the
two island empires from the great continent. To think
that only a few miles of track require to be laid before
the stupendous piece of work is completed is almost
enough to take ones breath away. A few years ago it
was laughed at as being the dream of a fanatic. Today
it is an accomplished fact. The dreams of yesterday are
the realities of today.
The formal opening of this branch of the through
line called for appropriate ceremonies. No other one
thing has done so much to strengthen Japans hold upon
the peninsula, and the way Japan has poured money into
Korea to complete it shows how confident she was OF
ultimate victory in this present conflict. OF all known
things capital is the most timid, and the unreserved1ess
with which money was handed out for this purpose is a
measure Of Japans confidence in herself
For weeks before the opening ceremonies tooh place
the broad space acquired by the railway for terminal ia
cilities outside the south gate of Seoul was being pre-
pared for the occasion. Enormous arches of evergreen
were erected, a score OF temporary buildings OF various
kinds were put up; the steep hill to the east was laid
out with care, and many forms of curious and beautiful
ornamentation were divised to please and interest the
guests of the occasion.
In honor of this occasion Prince Fushimi came from
Japan to act as chairman of the opening committee. He
is a son of Prince Fushimi, who has laetly been travelling
in America. In preparation for his coming the city went
through a species of spring house cleaning, and all the
main thoroughfares were covered with a thick coat of
red sand.
On the momentous day a large company gathered
about 8 o'clock in the morning. Special trains had been
run from Fusan to Chemulpo, and besides the great num-
Der of Japanese and Korean officials there were upward
of fifty Europeans and Americans present. Gathered UNI
der a spacious awning the company had not long to wait
before the exercises began. On the platform Prince Flu
shimi for Japan and Prince Eui Yang for Korea occupied
the places of honor. Various addresses were made in
Japanese and in Korean and the prince declared the rail
way open.
The guests from Fusan were enthusiastic over the
new l2Oton Baldwin engines that are being put on the
road and over the fact that soon we shall see a nine-hour
schedule between Fusan and Seoul. This will be an aver
age of thirty miles an hour. including stops. The road
beds theabridges, the culverts and tunnels are all of the
most substantial character and do great credit to the con
structors.-Korean Review.

"A FIRE EMGTNE

There are only two duties more imperatively obliga'
tory upon any town government than that Of providing
for the people Of the town the best possible protection
from the danger of damage by fire. The two higher du-
ties are the provision OF sanitary safeguards and Of edu-
cational facilities.
1t would seem that at present Albuquerque needs an
improved service in two of these departments. The sew
age system needs charging and extending. The water
supply needs increase of quantity and pressure. To meet
the first but one plan is possible. It is for the city to
expend the money necessary to put down sewers, and to
compel property owners TO make connection herewith.
To meet the second it is proposed to buy a fire en-
CINE, the claim being made that the increase in number
of tall buildings" has rendered inefficient the pressure
and quantity of water supplied by the water company,
and on which the city has hitherto relied. 1t will doubt
less be news to the people of Albuquerque that the city
has recently developed a number of "skyscrapers,' and
probably the small boy has been out this afternoon look
ing for the same,
But the questions to be asked are two-Can the city
at present afford the purchase of an engine? Is it abso-
lutely necessary? These questions give rise to some 9th
ers, such as: If the city has sufficient money for that
purchase, do not the demands of health take precedence
over the demands of property? Would it not be more
advisable to spend the money for sewer extension than
for water pressure? And is it a fact that when the water
company does its whole duty in the way of pressure and
quantity of water. the city really needs an engine? Mani
festly, it would be folly to expend the money for an en-
CINE until it has been established whether or not the
present arrangement can be made amply effective.
The Citizen has little doubt but that it can be so made
either by the present company or by the city owning its
own system of water supply.

VALLEY FARMERS
ARE PROSPEROUS
WILL GO TO EsTANCIA AND WILL
LARD TO;RECEIVE SOME LAMBS

Hon. Solomon Luna, of Los Lunas,
who spent several days among his
constituents of the valley section of
Valencia county, returned to this city
this morning, and will leave tonight
for the north. He will go to Estancia
and Willard on the Santa Fe Central,
where he will receive quite a nice
bunch of lambs which he recently pur-
chased from the sheep raisers of that
vicinity.
In speaking of the valley south of
this city, Mr.. Luna said: while at
Los Lunas, | had occasion to visit sew
eral of the smaller towns in the val
ley, and ! found the farmers in good
spirits and prosperous, The past sea
son was a good one, all around, and
the small raisers of farm and garden
truck found a ready market, at good
prices, for everything they raised.
And, again, many of them are wool
growers and sheep r~aisers, and they
like all of us, have no reason to COM

for wool and stock, especially sheep.
The whole country south of this city
was never better; plenty of water, as
surfing an abundance of grass both in
the valley and on the ranges

people abhor a sham, and with this abb

SOME STORIES WISE
AND SOME OTHERWISE
Truth Beautifully Told.

pOltan museum of art, once narrated in a New York stu
do a pretty story about Mr.. Gladstone.
A miniature painter" he said, did a little portrait
of Mrs. Gladstone in her old age. 1t was a pleasant, TAX
ing little portrait, 1t pleased Mrs. Gladstone tremendous
ly.
But one day a young relative of the family, looking
at the miniature in Mrs. Gladstone's absence, said to Mr..
Gladstone with a rude chucke:
Good, very good; but don't you think it rather flat

Mr.. Gladstone laid his hand on the young mans
shoulder and in his beautiful, mellow voice, he said:

The Aztec Index recently said. Matters that con
Germ the people of a country or a state or territory should
be submitted 10 them and receive the approval or dis
approval Of the ballot. The voters of New Mexico are
the ones to decide the joint statehood question, and not a
few office holders, who represent in their own right less
than a hundred votes"
No doubt this is true in theory and most of the peo-
pie OF New Mexico are anxious that II shall be true in
fact; but unfortunately theory and fact may separate on
that very point Here are the facts: New Mexico and
Arizona consist largely OF conquered country, and what
was not conquered was bought; so that neither OF them
belongs to itself, but both are the property Of the nation
which conquered and bought them. Then, also, in the
treaty Of peace which acknowledged the conquest, the fut-
ure Of the section was placed entirely in the hands Of
congress, the agent and representative Of the conquering
and purchasing nation. Congress alone has the DISPOSE
ton of the question, and need not ask any questions Of
the people either in New Mexico or Arizona.
AS congress separated the country into two territories,
without asking the people anything about it; so con
gress can at her own will and pleasure continue the ex-
lstence Of the Two territories, can make them into one
territory, can make them into two states with any change
OF boundaries deemed advisable, can make them into one
state, or can make either a state and continue the other
a territory and In any of the possible actions. congress
has no. necessity 10 ask the people Of Arizona or of
New Mexico anything about it. Congress can command
us or she can invite us at her own pleasure. Which she
will do remains 10 be seen.

4 RIGHTEOuS DECREE.

| The world will regard with profound RELIEF
and qualification the reversal of the egreglous
! msreport published in Paris two days ago con-
cerning the Judgment of the international III
| bunal on the North Sea affair. In commenting
| upon that misreport we held helef OF II III ane!
ance and regarded it as deplorably dlsappoihl
| ing, if true. Those sentiments were shared so
! far as we have been able to OBSERVE py lne
world at large, being expressed by many win
marked vehemence. 1t is a pleasure to record
that that first statement of the findings was
grossly incorrect and that the disapproval WIN
which il was regarded may now be equalled by
the approvaI with which the true report is
greeted by the neutral and peaceful world
For while pleasant things are said of the Rus
sian commander and full allowance is made for
the trying circumstances in which he was placed,
the salient feature Of the verdict, writ large and
unmistakabIe. is that the firing of the Russians
upon the fishing fleet unjustifable. What
ever the extenuatng circumstances Admiral
Rojestvensky is condemned. 1t is Great Brit
ain not Russia that has won the case That is
the gratifying thing 1t is gratifying not be-
cause Great Britain has won, but because the
neutral power has won, and thus a valuable
precedent has been set for the maintenance and
vindication of neutral rights at sea. Not caUeGt
pdcator, but cdUeat bellator; not let the neutral
beware of being in the way of the belligerent
but let the begerent take care not to injure the
neutral is the rule.
We have already discussed, in reference to
that former misreport. the desirabity of paw
ing more attention TO the rights of neutrals, so
that war; whenever it unhappily occurs, shall
disturb as little possible the legitimate pur-
suits of the acknowledgement nations. This de-
cision is step toward that end. AS such it
may not commend itself to Russia, since she is
now at war and might therefore find it to her
beIligerent interest to have neutral rights disre
garded; but it will be most pleasing to the ma
tons that are at peace and they form the vast
majority of the world. 1t is another vindication
and promotion Of arbitration, and it is another
step toward the greater assurance of peace; for
everything that restricts the action of beIliger-
ents and enlargeS the rights of neutrals must
necessarily make for the discoura cement of war
and for the preservation of peace.
