Russia will deal only with Japan on all matter af fectlng her Interests In Manchuria and It may be said that tho government of the cxar no more gave up Its designs In the' far east because of the check Inel dent to the RuMo-Japenes war than It gave up Ita ambition to ultimately pec- eess Constantfnnple r.,1 a big allce of European Turkey because of the Cri mean war. or efter she had been de prived of this prize by the treaty of San Stephano. The reaaon why Run! declined to seriously consider the proposition from the United States state department to neutrallxe the Manchurlan railway la because Russia is firmly convinced t'titt some time It may be years henceshe and Japan will have another trial of etrength with Manchuria, Korea and a good allce of China aa the priae. Quietly Russia Is preparing for tl)U struggle, and the next time ehe will not be caught napping. Surprising progrrss has been made l the reorganisation of the army, and while It. has not perhaps reached tlie stago of perfection attained In the Ger man army. It la doubtful If there In any other European army which Is auperlor in effectiveness to that of Rusitla. Less progress la being made In the rehabilitation of the navy, hut a naval program haa been prepared and will ultimately be carried out which will give the cxar in time a formidable sea fighting force. The moat radical reform Will be in the peraonnel. The Japanese war taught the lesson that sailors are needed to fight ahipa. and officers and men as nearly aa possible are to be re cruit! from Russia's sea faring popu lation. . . Unless Japan forces her hand " too soon, and fear of this 'is felt here, in the next war ahe will face a very differ ent Russia.
