Miller, ot thia state who is now consul ' of New Chwang which wae in possession ol the Rus sians when he went there but is now in tbe bands ot the Japanese. He certainly led a strenuous life during the transformation period. "Thus we paseed from tour years of Ruasian rule into an unknown future Tcndavsaffo we felt as though we were in Russia Russian gunbiat, sol dier, band, administration, telegraph poetoffice, and hundreds of Russian flags flying everywhere. Now we have a Japanese administration. Japanese soldiers, guoflosts, torpedo boats transports, merchant steamers, sailing Jbips, junks, and Japans flags every where, and note single Russian flag to bees. n. . It waa a sort ot a lightnieg change act from Russia to Japan. It was distinctly RuieU before and is jertalnly Japanese now. On Monday nigbt I gave a farewell dinner to the Russian governor and prominent Russians, and the follow Ing Sunday I entertained at dinner tbe Japanese governor and prominent army officers including General Fuku shlma, and some captains In the navy I have been enjoying all sort ol ex perienoei. For 24 hours I waa tbe ad mioisirator of this city ol a hundred thousand people." - Yours truly H. B.
