(From the London Daily Mail.) i

the position 0f_Russia and Japan repre-

sents a deeply interesting study. On the one hand is a power whose modern his-

tory constltptes something in the nature of an eighth wonder of the world; on the other hand is a power whose destinles not the most far-seeing statesman can foretell. _ Japan, the England of the East, consists of but a handful of Islands, oi a total area of 162,666 square miles, and apopula- tion of 44,260, 600. l\ussla's vast empire embraces a sixth of the whole earth peopled by 135,000,000 souls. The dispar- ity between uns two rivals ls not lessened when their fighting forces are examined.

Russia stands to the world as one of the

| greatest military powers, and has, on pap-

er at any rate, the men tojustify the po- sition. Her army on a war footing is ca- pable, according to the estimates of its organizers, of being raised to three and one-half millions of men; and that with- out taking into account. Li' I.-.~ reserves. At a liberal computation I - i..iri forces of Japan in time of war would be about

l` 393,000 officers and men, w-in l,l00 guns

against 3,400 guns of Rus-i .

THE FIGHTING FORCES. .

The appalling balance in favor oi' Russ-

ia is, of course, largely discounted bythe immobillty of the Musoovite forces, inevitable in view ofthe huge area over which .they are distributed. from the days of Hannibal who, entering italy with but twenty thousand foot and six thousand horse, annihllated armies of twice and four times the size of his own, and overrun the land, down to than ui|Na- poieon, the world has from time to time seen the alert and skilful little army tri- umph over the larger more unhaiidy.

But in all likelihood, naval strength

would be u great factor in ri wav: hetwren these two countries. Here innccesslbllity to what would prove the battle ground favors Japan suihciently to counterbal- ance tho numerical superiority of licr enemy. Spread over the ocean area which she must cover, Russia hos a great num- ber of vessels, but how many of these could come to close quarters with the con- centrated strength of Japan ls n debatable point.

The navy of the grantor power has cost

flve times that of the lesser, but it is agreed, by all naval experts that Japan

has got. a magnificent return for her money in the shape of onc of the ilnost `i1ghl:ing machines afloat. The like con- sideration applies to ber army.

A GREAT GULF.

A point which the onlooker does not

leave out of his calculations is the im- portant one that, should il/coma to land fighting, the Russians, even with the diillouliy of transport and fond supply overcome, would be at u disadvantage, in that their troops would not have the in- centive to utmost effort that would ln’~ splro the Japanese, who would be battl- ing witbin slnht of home, as it were, whose patriotism ia Bred by that spirit of devotion to their Fatherland which has brought such amazing results during the last forty years.

Between Japan and Russia, although

they are geoarsphioaily associated, there is a great gulf dxsd, temperamentally, socially, constitutionally. Japan em- bodle-i the spirit of democracy and pro- gress; Russia represents the worst phase of tyracnous autucraey. The Muscoviils forces are reputed to be superbly disci- plined; it remains to be seen for how much that-discipline counts when the fighting has to be done far from home, and for a cause which cannot appeal very strongly to the imagination nf the soldier who is little better than ii scrf. Pride of race with love of his land has a consider- able place in the Japanese. He has bor- rowed the wisdom of the old-world West, to enllgiiten and revivlfy the older-world East but he loves those ancient tradi- tions to which he may with propriety still cling.

Tlll EH PIROHB.

The relations subsisilng between gov-

erned anfl voveruing classes are altoget- her dlffcrent in Russia from those which exist, in the Flowery Land. The Em- peror of Japan, who has wrought the mighty reforms which have come about in our own day, enjoys the conddenoe and love of his subjects, to whom he hue given ii constitutional form of government. The Czar rules as he is ruled. With his gigan- tic army and his terrible system of secret csplonape, he has neither the confidence noi- the niiecrions of the millions over

whom he is placed. The stringent discip-

E lluo exercised tlimughout his realuisi flees (not render human life ssiored, noi' the

union at Slatoust. 1'. was suppressed at a coat of 250 lives of the workmen. From St. Peteruburg connraiuiaticns were sent to the governor oi the district. The letter arrived two days alter the gover- nor's triumph had been cud:-d by his _murder. While riot and bloodshed are cuntinnally resulting in m collisions between the Russian authorities and the szudents, the course oilstudy in Japan is made a national concern, and the system of education, compulsory in the element- ary schocls, followed by model university courses, receives notleas attention from the government than the modelling ofthe army and navy. the building of rail- ways, the rendering navigableof all water courses, the opening of national iron works and mini-ity arsenals.

The present Emperor of .lzipan is one of

a succession of sovereigns whose dynasty has been unbroken for 2,500 years. His dist kingly ancestor ascended the throne when Manasseh, king of the Hebrews, was offering human sacrifices upon the altars of Jerusalem, and when the great Assyrian empire was in the death-throes of dissolution. Theie remains in the land today no relic of old-time feudalism beyond that close binding of class to class resulting from a long period of interdep- endence.

NATIONAL s'rm<:Nl'rH.

Japan has got. beyond the era of the vendetta and of all the appanages of feudalism, but the bonds of brotherhood remain to make the race one of wonderful unanimity for a national purpose, and it is conceivable that did war occur with Russia every one of the twenty-four mil- lions of males comprised in tue popula- tion who is capable cf bearing arms would be willing and anxious to take his sbareln the heat and burden of the battle.

War can bring nothing but disaster tn

Japan just now. A few more years of such prosperity ns she has enjoyed since her victory over China would make her; a protracted war nt this period of her history might. brcuk her. Her revenue toiay is nearly 28 millions sterling; a dozen years ago it was only 81-2 millions. Her imports have grown from 13 3 4 mili- ions in 1895 to 27 l-Z millions, and her
