A correspondent of the New York Even
ing Post, writing from Toxic under date
OF May P1, says the result of the Japanese
election for members Of the Diet had just
been made known officially, although the
balloting took place seven days before.
About seventeen out of every 1000 persons
enjoy the electoral privilege in Japan, con-
seluently the result does not interest the
masses of the people and the returns might
be delayed for weeks without exciting a
fraction of the commotion a like event oc-
casions in occidental countries. The result
of the balloting as now declared amounts
almost to a defeat of the government
party, the majority in the Diet being only
one, a number wholly insufficient to pro-
long the life of the present ministry. Japan
is Justly celebrated for outstrippinE west
ern nations in many directions. To the
conceded triumphs may be added her unique
method of financing a political campaign.
The correspondent observes that the Japa-
nese politician turns a few tricks with
money that would make the Hon. William
NJ. Tweed and his later followers blush for
their moderation. In one district cited by
the correspondent as an example of how
the bosses do the business in Japan, an
enterprising ward heller canvassed the en-
tire community. bought up all the votes at
so much a head, and then sold them to the
highest bidder among the candidates.

A Frenchman who has been making a
study OF the Chinese army warns Europe
that 1t is not inconceivable that within ten
years China may be able to oppose to the
white nations of the world a thoroughly
drilled and equipped force of 100000 SOL
dlers. 1t is quite certain, he thinks, that
1T will nave the biggest army in the world
at least 100000 men ready to mobilize
at short notice-and equal in courage, drill
and equipment to any European troops.
This 100000 minimum is provided for by
present plans. The increase to the maxi
mum figure means nothing but a little more
effort-a draft on the wealth and popula.
tion which is trivial when spread out thin
over so vast an empire. The writer fears
that. stimulated by their own remarkable
performances in army making up TO date,
the Chinese rulers may make a change in
their plans at any time and may do Il
without taking Europe into Their conf
dence. The FTenchman estimates that the
expense Of the army on a basis CT 100000
active and 1000, 900 reserve soldiers will not
involve an increased burden OF more than
S cents a head on the population of China
Even so poor a people. he thinks, can
stand this and the government and people
have grown so proud of the army that he
sees no hope of any Stacking in its develop
ment. This is the real yellow peril" is
the conclusion that he draws.

The Spanish government, under the lead
of Senior Maura, seems to have consolidated
ali its opponents by the Introduction Of
what Is known as the terrorist bill" The
object of It is to amend the 'crimes act"
OF July 10. 1894, which related TO crimes
with explosives. 1t provides that 'the
threat TO cause any such injury as would
amount to a cTiminal offense 10 the prop
critics and rights OF common interests. So
cial classes and corporations, or their mem
bers shall be punished by penal servitude. %
II further provides that the publication
of false and malicious news in regard 70
such acts shall be punished by close arrest
in a house OF correction IN the lower divi-
sions. Moreover, IL ordains that the pub
~lication OF all news concerning such acts
which Is not OF official origin shall be
punished by Imprisonment, even when It
Is neither false nor malicious. But the
provision which has reused most opposi-
ton authorizes the government TO proclaim
a district for as long as It thinks fit, by
In due course, and TO establish a committee
In the proclaimed district, composed Of the
civil governor. the officer commanding the
troops. the president and public prosecutor
Of the local court and the alcalde Of the
chief town. with power to suppress all
newspapers. all clubs. all establishments
and places of meeting in which terrorist
plans are laid or terrorist principles ara
preached. Protests are frequent TO the ef-
feet that there is nothing In the condition
OF the country 10 justify the passage Of so
t%yrannical a measure.

AmSricans are near the threshold Of the
glorious day when the fervid orator
crowns his patriotic periods with the stock
exclamation; I'VE are the greatest people
and the grandest ration on earth" In all
the elements from which spring liberty
and happiness, which makes for progress
and the advancement Of civilization, we are
leagues ahead OF the next competitor.
Numerically and territorially we are still
At the post. The empire on which the sun
never sets lest it might be mistaken for a
gold min and Jumped, embraces more than
one-fifth Of the exposed land Of the globe.
The London Daily Mail, organ Of the
British imperialists, publishes data OBJ
tanned from official sources which shows
that the union Jack floats over an area
OF 100000 square miles, with a population
of about 100000 OF this vast number
only one-seventh are white. From 1860 TO
the present time the area Of the empire has
nearly doubled, due chiefly 10 ope rations
in Africa and explorations OF northern
Canada. The annual cost Of defensive
measure is S455, 100000 out Of a total of
$780, 00, COO spent in imperial administration.
The British navy consists Of twelve Dread
noughts and fifty-one other battleships,
thirty-eight Rrmored cruisers and severity
seven other cruisers, besides destoyers, tor
pedo boats and submarines. while the land
forces are officially estimated at slightly
more than 100000 men. Commercially, the
empires trade in 1906. the last year for
which data is obtainable, reached s7.69O,OOO,-
900 for imports and exports combined.
British shipping amounts to one-half the
tonnage of the world. The total revenue
Of the empire now amounts to 81, 400, 100000
annually. while the aggregate debt ex-
ceeds $500. 1000. Mighty figures these,
sufficiently imposing to make thoughtful
Americans pause before claiming every
thing.

Los Angeles herald., 1908-04-12

At sign from the Count, two of his COM
panions locked the door and planted them
selves in front of it,
Quietly as this was done, however, Peters
made him realize. for the first time the full
extent of the peril into which he had so reck-
essly thrust himself.
he was shut up with eighteen men who
armed, while he himself, not expecting to
have any fighting to do, had unluckly brought
with him no weapon whatever
Almost any other man would have given
himself up for lost, but fear was thing thai
Peter the Great never knew, and his daunt-
less spirit rose to meet the coming danger.
That it was coming there could be no doubt
whatever, for the eonspirators were beginning
to whisper among themselves, and to put
their hands under their cloaks as if feeling
for their swords and daggers.
Peter sat facing them, apparently. quite IN
suspicious, but with every muscle braced Tor
a spring, and his watchful eye noting every
movement of the whole band.
But now, Sosnovieff, noticing that even at
that critical moment the Gar did not, as they
expected, give shout to summon his men,
began for the first time to suspect the real
truth--viz.. that there were no soldiers there
and that the Gar was actually alone in their
hands.
He started up and unsheathed his sword,
calling out to his comrades.
''The time is come!'
as it?' roared Peter, springing to his feet
like a tiger. "Its your time that is come,
you dog-not mine!"
And rushing upon Sosnovieff. he dashed
him to the ground with blow that might
have felled an OK, and then, snatching the
sword that dropped from the traitors hand
as he fell, faced the assembled murderers
with eyes that flashed more threateningly
than the steel.
Seventeen to one though they were, the as
sassins hung back for moment; for. the
young Car was already famous as one of the
strongest men in Russia, and his courage and
feroeity were as well known as his strength
That moment saved Peters life; for just
then measured tramp was heard outside,
the blow Of musket-butt beat in the door,
and Peters guards, marching in, seized the
conspirators and bound them hand and foot.
But Peter, hardly deigning glance. at his
captive foes, strode up to the young lieuten-
ant who commanded the party, and, grasp
ing him by the shoulder with his mighty
hand thundered:
"1s this how you obey orders%
The lieutenant calmly produced Peters own
written order to beset the house at $50 p. NJ.
Peter glanced at the clock-it had Just mark
"So~ he cried. 'I see I was wrong, COM
rade. and ] ask your pardon. You're cap
tain from this day forth, and il you always
obey orders as well as you've done tonight,
you shall see that won't forget you.'
And Peter the Great kept his word.
