The Russian Note on Japan and China

No more than a clrsory examination
OF Russia's note charging the Japanese
with violation of China's neutrality
and the Chinese with completely in
Japans alleged action is necessary
10 see in it a reflection Of the Russian
military situation in Aianchuria. At the
same time, the reservations contained in
it imply an intention TO await the
issue of the opening of the spring cam
paign before putting its threats into
execution.
Should Gen KURoPATKIN score one or
two successes and thus recover some
of the ground lost before the fall of
Port Arthur, and in some measure
restore Russia's prestige in the eyes
of the world generally there would bo
no ground for disturbing the status
quo so far as China is concerned. Russia
would then be in position to choose
her own time TO follow up her policy
toward China in her own way, after
dealing with the Japanese.
Il would be quite otherwise II the
campaign opened with decisive japanese
success. In that case it would be OBJ
viously to Russia's interest TO bring
about a disturbance Of China's foreign
relations OF such character that for
eign intervention TO compel her strict
observance Of neutrality toward Japan
would become almost obligatory
While Port Arthur was under the
Russian flag there was no complaint
that China was violating its neutrality
in supplying the Russian garrison with
food, or that arms and ammunition
were being struggled in by way Of China
and IN Chinese iunks. But tho scene
has changed, and Japan is now the sole

4 Great Religious Awakening In
Schenectady.

Schenectady, the Electric City, is
now IN the grasp Of a genuine old fash
toned religious revival The new name
given to the movement IS aggressive
evangelism, but it is very similar to
the revivas which made so profound
an impression on this country in the
early part of the nineteenth century
and up to a period which extended to
1857 and beyond
In Schenectady all the Protestant
Churches have joined in the movement,
and also the Young Mems Christian
Association and other semi-religious
bodies. Meetings are held in churches,
theatres and public halls, and sinners
are exhorted with old time fervor to
come forward and be saved. Saloons
are invaded by bands OF earnest men and
women, who march from place to place
singing hymns and offering prayers
after the fashion Of the Salvation Army,
Great crowds flock TO the meetings and
hundreds of people old and young, rich
and poor, have announced their CONVEX
sion and publicly testified to their new
found faith. Waves OF emotion sweep
over the audiences and they are fire.
quently moved 10 tears by the impas-
stoned eloquence of the leader Of the
movement. himself the pastor OF the
Dutch Reformed Church. Scores have
pledged themselves to total abstinence.
and the liquor business Of the town
has suffered greatly in consequence.
Schenectady has rot been so deeply
moved spiritually since the Great
Awakening of 1857.
A significant aspect OF this revival is
that it comes in time OF great material
prosperity, For the past ten or fifteen
years Schenectady has been enjoying
a boom Ii has grown in population
and wealth with extraordinary rapidity.
Thousands of skilled mechanics are en-
ployed in the electrical and locomotive
building plants there. The place is n
hive OF industry and the envy Of all the
neighboring municipalities Heretofore
religious revivals and awakenings have
come usually in times OF panic or business
depression. When men are prosperous
their earthly affairs absorb their atten-
ton. When they can find no human
relief from the suTerings and ills incident
10 hard times they turn to supernatural
sources for succor. So it was in the
Great Awakening Of 1857 and other re-
vivals that stirred the country. But
Schenectady was never better off materi-
ally than it is now
The present outburst Of religious
enthusiasm seems to be spontaneous,
and it is animated by the spirit which,
built up the great Methodist and Baptist
communons 1t proves that the ancient
religious zeal which so frequently flashed
forth in the latter part of the eigh
teenth century and in the early part Of
the nineteenth mas not entirely burned
out in these days of widespread religious
criticism, as so many people have be-
lieved Will it prove to be the begin
ming Of another Great Awakening ?

Jersey company wanted $40 a million ga''

The Coming Session Of the British
Parliament.

The statutory term OF the House OF
Commons elected in 1900 will not, Of
course, expire until 1907. but if Premier
BALFoUR conforms TO the practice of his
predecessors he will in no event defer
a dissolution of Parliament beyond 1904.
VIII not the appeal 10 the electors be
made this year? II Mr., BALFoUR shall
show himself reluctant TO take the step,
can he not be forced to do so7 These
questions are uppeHnost in the minds
Of British and Irish politicians as the
day approaches for the reassembling OF
Britain's legislature.
Several trials OF strength in the last
session resulted in n demonstration that
Mr. BALFoUR and Mr. CHAMBERLAIN. IL
they act together. can still count on
large majority in the House of Commons.
The Free Fooders, who, under the leader
ship of the Duke of DEvoNsHIRE, have
evinced a willingness to cooperate with
The liberals for aggressive purposes.
have proved far too weak numerically
TO bring about the overthrow Of the
Balfour Government, They are much
stronger, however, IN the constituencies
than they are on the floor of the House,
for the by-elections that have taken
place during the last eighteen months
have been an almost uninterrupted
series Of triumphs for the Opposition.
No one doubts, not even Mr.. CHAMBER
LAIN, that II a general election were to
oocIir this year the present Government
would find itself unable 10 retain 4 major
ity Of seats. For time, indeed, an inn
preston was current in the Ministerial
ranks that preliminary strategic ad-
vantage could be gained by making the
number Of Ireland's spokesmen at West
minister proportional to her population.
IT has since been recognized, however,
by Unionist leaders that they could not,
with any show of consistency, cut dow
Ireland's delegation without redressi..x

beneficiary Of the benevolent neutrality
Of China, and, II possible, that must be
stopped
No fault, of course. can be found
with Russia for protecting herself and
her interests in the Far East in every
legitimate way. Other couAtries have
the same right, including China and
Japan. The Japanese, however, have
the advantage that they are already
in active conflict with Russia TO uphold
their own side of the dispute-so far
with remarkable success and not without
sympathy from interested outsiders
while Chine can hardly risk openly
siding with Japan without bringing
the Western nations on the scene. This
would be 10 the interest of neither China
nor Japan. for it would be entirely TO
the advantage OF Russia.
1t would appear, therefore, that the
best policy for both China and Japan is
to abstain from anything that can justify
foreign intervention in any form, inter-
vention that might be but the beginning
of a partition of China TO prevent her
national development and set Japan back
for generations to come. The possibility
that il might bring on great world war
is also not to be overlooked.
From the Russian point of view the issue
Of the note is good diplomatic strategy.
1t is screen behind which anything may
Turk, causing uncertainty in the policy Of
other countries and hesltancy in action
that it may be the desire of tho Russian
Government 10 confuse or avert.

The Socialist Bollermaker.

WILLIAM BISHOP, an English boiler
maker, healthy, able to make good wages,
arrived in New York on Sunday. He
came to look for work at his trade. He
was indiscreet enough TO disclose to an
INSPECTOR at Ellis Island that he had
letter to Socialist. He also knew TUR-
NER, the theoretical or speculative An
archist, who would have been deported
by the immigration sages il he had not
fed back to England from their scrutiny.
BISHOP said that TURNER'S opinions we're
too radical for him.
The inspector saw and smelled danger
in the boiernaker, who was turned over
70 the Special Board of Inquiry. These
inquirers tried TO pry some Anarchist
admissions out of the boilermaker, who
insists that he is not an Anarchist. Ac-
cording to THE SUNS report. he repeat
edly declared that he was not an Anarch-
list and that he did not believe in the Use
OF force for the attainment Of political
ends He said that he was follower OF
KARL MARX, whom the stenographer OF
the Ellisisland sages calls MARKS
Asked about the Colorado Socialists,
he said their methods were unlike his.
which were peaceable. Unable to extort
any confession out OF him. the board
finally excluded him at the suggestion of
Inspector RTAN on the ground that he
was likely to become public charge:
Mr.. RrAS said to his fellow inspectors that
although BISHOP not an Anarchist his views
o., those ov an AM hist and
he had only sl2 he might be sent back as person
Rtiy to become public charge. Then tho board
unanimously decided that BISHOP should be de-
ported"
Inspector RYAN and his brethren are
profound students If an immigrant
admits that he is a Socialist there
are several varieties and shades of
Socialism RYAN and his fellow thinkers
viii DO svre that he is an Anarchist, a
dangerous, deportable Anarchist, burn
ing 10 destroy this Government and all

other pretence.
There is no probability that BISHOP
would have become q public charge. He
il able and willing He is sent home be-
cause the Special Board of Inquiry
doesn't know the difference between
Socialism and Anarchism.
We warn Mr. GEORGE BERNARD SHAW
not to attempt to land in these United
States. Inspector RAN would return
him in the original package at once.
SHAW is not only an Irish Socialist, but
he is vegetarian. an anti-tobacconist,
an anti-everythingist jeerer OF respect
abilities, a maker of epigrams, paradoXes
and trouble. IfRYAN gets hold of SHAW,
there will be flying OF fur
We don't admire Socialism, but we
admire good deal less the ignorance of

general principles why hasn't boiler
maker as good right TO be somewhat of
a Socialist as the late DAVID B. HILL had
or as Col. BRYAN has? Legislation smack
ing Of Socialism finds favor at Washing
ton and in both great parties, and munic-
ipal Socialism increases steadily II is
queer to see the Government kicking out
a humble Socialist while Socialism ST.
lently makes its way among Republicans
and Democrats without their knowing it.
