CHANGE
The following is an extract ot a let
ter written to the Eugene Begiatei by
Hon. Harry B. 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. Miller.
