A Good Article Respecting Her Sadden Leap to Glory. The war between Japan and Rus sia, is in its results, surprising, not only to Kaseia, bat to the civ ilized world. Whether the Japan ese really expected such Bucces?, is question: but who, outside of Ja pan, supposed her to possess such eoldiers,-fiuch fighters, such gener als, such unselfish devotion, such determination, and finally, such success? It iB safe to say that few conserv ative, thinking people could give the Japanese credit for being some of the greatest fighters of modern times, for being as well skilled in the maneuvers of war as any people on earth; for having a stronger gov ernment than any other peopla ev er dreamed they bad and for being such able general ani such invin cible "men behind the gun," as . to overcome tbe strongly built and strongly protected ' retreats1 t)f ' the great Russians time and again when experts said it could not be done. 'Tis said that Oyami is as great a'general as Napoleon. Perhaps Oyama has had a harder task ahead of him than ever Napoleon had, ami it is safe to say that tbe "Great Frenchman never performed a tatk bet'er than the sto.id Japanese, ? Who can foretell the future of Jai-.sn in the event that Russia makes peace with Japan, or let us be t ir, and say, in case Russia and Jar n make peace? . . .
