CURTIS, Secretary.' EDWIN ARNOLD WRITES OF TOKIO AND ST. PETERSBURG Sir Edwin Arnold In Chicago Tribune: It woud be an Instructive experience for historians, for stay-at-home politi cians, and for people generally, to pass at this moment of exultation In one capital, and of -disappointment and de pression In the other, down the main atreets of Tokio and St. Petersburg. One bears the name of the Glnza, the other la known to all the world as the Nevskl Prospect. The contrast be tween them would seem as strongly marked as Is the difference between the empires themselves In climate, situa tion, Inhabitants, manner and nation al drese. ' . The main street in the Russian me tropolis might almost be styled mag. nil! cent in the long vista of Its unbrok en range, and the Imposing character of its public buildings and monuments. London ha nothing which can match In striking effect that wide thorough fare viewed from the bank of the "Ne va. In the broad, .open space npon which the noble street debouches, the huge palace of the czar, the Isaac ca thedral, end the bronze statue of Peter the Great than which neither Rome nor Athens ever possessed a finer effigy make a grand gateway to the avenjue of solid edifice all the way up to the statue of Catherine, fronting the Alex andra theater and the Imperial library. Th.? Glnza In Tokio has nothing to show like that. The Japanese would and could have built along the shores of the Sumlda as handsome a city as Peter raised upon the piles which he drove Into the mud flats of the Neva but for the earthquake. It is "ojlshln," that ever recurring spasm of the folLd earth, that ha forbidden to Japan the art of architecture, fuch would be the first dtsgnctlon between the victorious and the defeated city, all explained by of those two famous thoroughfares, that Implacable phenomenon which per mils few solid erections In the land to become ancient. It may be that the modesty and simplicity of Japanese na tional life have been largely due to the repression forced upon the empire by the instability of her soil. Then the next thing to be noticed by an intelli gent observer would be the great fre auery of inscriptions and lettered le- afraid, more consolation for theif troubles In vodka than In any of the Innocent pastimes which satisfy those whom we must for the moment style "its enemies. " But you would see the citizens of Tokio discussing the tre mendous Incidents of their opening war with no stimulant stronger than their pale tea and tiny pipe, yielding its three whiffs and a half, reund the ro ban board. To the black and white counters upon it they will give as doe attention as did the young officer te their terrible engines of destruction os board those torpedo boats which, did not fear to run the gauntlet of fourteen ranged men of war;. , Such a difference springe from deep er roots than any game at "gomukn ntv rabl;" It springs from the keen artlstle qualify of the Japanese mind which will have everything exact and finish ed after its kind quite perfectly, wheth er It be the little bit of ivory which they carve Into a natauke, or the genda upon the ahop fronts and build ing along the Glnza, 'from Shlmbashi to Xohonbashl, and the striking ab sence of them throughout the Nevskl Prospect. Unrfr this difference lies hidden an obvious explanation creditable to the Japanese. Almost every one among them can read and write, on which ac count th3 shopkeepers announce their business with a laviih display of names and articles for sale, while the -Russians, as a role, are deplorably lgnor. ant of reading and writing, and com modities have, therefore, to be adver tized by pictures upon shop fronts, signboards, and shutters. In a time like the present that one little dividing fact signifies a good deal It Implies, In the one case, a population vividly awake to the value and the meaning of the splendid triumphs already won for the mikado by the courage, the Intellect and the patriotic devotion of his sub jects. In the other case it gives the reas on why those Muscovite citizens would mighty armor clad which they guide today be seen going up and down amid the numerous and watchful police, be wildered, melancholy and discontented because of the darkness In which they are kept by lack of education, and the absence of anything which could be properly, described as "public opinion." J The capable observer, who I am im agining is today promenading first through one then through the other would comprehend a large part of the causes at the bottom of Japanese suc cesses and Russian overthrow by the demeanor of the two crowds of pedes trian coming ami going along them. As self contained and orderly in the hour of their highest rejoicing, ns they would have been If defeat had fallen upon them, he would see half of the great story told in the alertness, vivac- ltv and general air of "blen-etre" evi denced In the Clnza among those happy Japanese. Equally through the Nevskl Prospect, the dull aspect and dejected bearing of the Muscovite throng would tell him of a nation dimly conscious of mlsgovernment, official corruption and administrative blunders, but not en lightened enough to manifest emotions much beyond those of ill-treated ani mals. The Moscovlte people find, I am into the battle line.. The arrogance displayed - by Russian statesmen in their recent negotiations with those of Tokio has met with a rebuke too ter rible and final not to make us feel ac tual pity today for the situation of the czar empire. It arose from an Ignor ance among the upper tanks In Russian society as characteristic as Is the som ber and superstitious temperament or the peasants and ; common people. They called the Japanese "yellow monkeys," and are only today learning what It means to go to war with a na tion of 45,000,000, all as homogenous as the rice grains In a sack, all educated, sober, loyal, patriotic and fearless of death not with the dull, hopeless obedience of the drilled moujik, but with the glad devotion of a free and self-respecting race. . ' Even now the leaders of the war party In St. Petersburg and Moscow are counting upon the scores of ignor ant villagers whom their generals and ' admirals can afford to sacrifice, instead of those principles of Justice and peace ful progress upon which their oppon ents take a stand. How can It be doubted to which influence civilization will prefer to confide the future of China and the far east? ' A dispatch from Corlills says that the earthquake was more destructive there than In Lima'. It cracked the walls of churches and destroyed pic tures, statues and crockery. In Callao walls of numerous houses fell, while the docks and the iron bridge suffered seriously, Traffic on the Central railway was stopped by rocks falling on the track. The shock was felt everywhere In Peru. HEART TAKEN FROM BODY. Six Stitches Put in Beating Orgon and It la Replaced. Philadelphia, March 5. Thomas Em erson, a colored man who waa stabbed In the heart Monday by his sweet heart, has been the subject of an un usual operation. His heart was lifted out of the body and six stitches Vers taken to close the big gash made by the negresskrIfe. The organ was re placed and Emerson Is recovering. After the assault Emerson walked without assistance to the hospital, a distance of five blocks, and was put under the Influence of ether as soon as the wound had been examined. On the operating table the heart was ex posed by a long Incision, which neces sitated the breaking of several' ribs. The operating surgeon Inserted two Angers and lifted out the hearts It was drawn clean out of the trunk, yet It went on with its work with almost normal steadiness Bhd regularity. The cut was a large one and required six stitches. JAPS USED FALSE LIGHT Wriier Denies Story That Russian Officers Were Ashore During First of Attack: ANOTHER VERSION OF BATTLE ARRANGE FOR RACES. New York, March 6 Twin trotting meetings In the grand circuit at Empire City park and Brighton beach are as sured y arrangements Just perfected which will place both tracks under one mnnagement ho far as harness racing affairs are concerned.

Officer of Pallada kdds to Vol ume of Literature Already Written About the First Attack on Port Arthur. St. Petersburg, March 5. A letter from an officer of the Russian cruiser Pallada has been received here de scribing the first attack by the Jap anese upon Port Arthur. The writer denies the story that the officers of the Russian fleet were ashore and confirms the statement that the Japanese made use of false lights. He says that at 11 o'clock at night a practice drill to repel torpedo attacks' was executed and that toward midnight feur Russian torpedo boats which simulated the enemy head ed back toward Dalny, from which place they had come. The crews of the fleet had retired, only the watch re maining on deck. The ships were In the outer harbor and the captain of the Pallada supposed the approaching ves sels were the Russian torpedo boats returning from Dalny and his suspi cions were only aroused when upon drawing nearer they covered their lights at Irregular intervals. The sig nal tower signalled that the lights were not understood. At thia moment the Pallada'a cap tain, through the thick night, made out the outlines of the torpedo boat destroyers' smokestacks In pairs, amid ships. As the stacks of the Russian destroyers are In line fore and aft, the prews of the Russian ships were In stantly called to quarters. In less than three minutes the Pallada's men were at their posts, orders were given that the guns be charged with grape and a fierce fire was opened on the oncoming Japanese. The battleships Czarevitch and Retvizan, which were In the first line, a short distance astern of the Pal lada, also opened fire almost Imme diately. , A terrific explosion occurred under the hull of the Pallada, raising a tor rent " of water which submerged the cruiser's deck, but did not stop her firing or maneuvering, which now, how ever, were complicated by the measures taken to close a breach amidships, be low the water line, made by the explo sion of the torpedo. - :: , Soon afterwards two other torpedoes exploded almost simultaneously, one under the bow of the Retvizan and the other under the stern of the Czarevitch. This double explosion ended the attack. the Japanese vessels retiring at full speed. - READY TO START RAILROAD. New York, March 8. Japan is ready to atart construction of the Seoul-Wljn railway at once, according to a Her aid dispatch from SeouL Fifteen mile of grading already has been done by the Corean government under Frec engineers, but no rails, locomotives orv car have been purchased yet The proposed arrangement may pos sibly create an issue between Corean and French governments, as a con cession was originally granted in 1898 to French citizens, who, failing to ar range the financing of the road, allow ed the concession to lapse In 1899. Un der the agreement the railway was to be built only by the Corean govern ment under , French engineers, with French materials. ' A steamer has arrived at Chemulpo with thousands of tons of materials and construction will row be rapidly pushed by the Japanese.
