Russian Losses at the Battle: of Yalu.
LONDON, 9th May. An official Russian statement gives the Russian casualties at the battle of the Yalu at zo officers and 2,324 men killed and
wounded.
The British Press on the War. The Daily Telegraph says the campaign has been conducted by the Japanese with a brilliance almost unparalleled in war. Japan's success is due to the consummaic combina- tion of naval and military action, which even England has never rivalled. The Japanese successes of the last three months are even more marvellous than those of Germany in 1870. The Standard says there have been few finer feats of war than the blocking of
Port Arthur.
LATER.
Too War. There is a universal chorus of eulogy of the masterly strategy of the Japanese com- bined with swift unflinching execution. Even the German press, which has hitherto been the most reserved, cannot withhold its tri- bute of praise and admiration.
The Japanese Loan. The Japanese loan, which was expected to be issued last evening, was quoted on Saturday at 24 prem. and yesterday at 3" An unqualified success is assured.
German Socialists on the War.
In the Reichstag, M. Bebel attacked the pro-Russian attitude of the Government in regard to the war. He declared that the Kaiser's telegram of sympathy to the Tsar on the occasion of the Petropavlovsk disaster in no way reflected the feeling of the nation. Count von Buelow denied that the Kaiser's telegram way a departure from neutrality, and regretted that the disasters of a neigh bouring friendly nation had been the ohjeet of malicious articles and caricatures by a portion of the German press.
The Feeling in Russia. The Japanese successes have caused a feeling of apprehension in Russia and the General staff declare that the latest develop ments assure a long and bitter war.
A QUESTION OF RESPONSIBILITY.
A. Hateri, manager of a local cigar factory, living at 43 Des Virux Road Central, was sued, in the Supreme Court, this morning, before the Poisne Judge, this lonour T. Sercombe Smith, for the sum of $137.59 money alleged to be swing by him for provisions supplied by Yen Wo Tong Sang, a compradore of 75 Queen's Road East.
Mr. P. W. Goldring, from the office of Mr. J. Hastings, appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. F. P. Hett, (with Mr. G. K. Hall Brutton) re- presented defendant.
It was explained that in March la. a man pamed Gabina called at the plaintiff's shop and ordered provisions which he said were for use at the cigar factory. The compradore was suspicious about the matter and sent a re- presentative to see the manager. Hanert was spoken to, and it was alleged that he said the goods were for the factory, consequently the provisions were supplied to Gabina, who called for a quantity cach morning, but when, at the end of the month, the compradore asked anert for payment he was told that the money had been given to Gabina each week. Gabina had since changed his address and could not be found. Hence it appeared a question as 10 whether Hanert was responsible for the pay. ment of the account of £137.59.
His Honour thought he was not, and accord ingly gave judgment for defendant, with costs.
PHILIPPINE HEMP.
In the monthly summary of the commerce of the Philippines for October last year it is noted that favout the beginning of the year complaints reached the Philippines Com mission that the hemp being exported from the islands was of very inferior quality, and that there was fraud in its packing.
The secretary of Agriculture of the United States recommends investigation and action, suggesting that if the Janila hemp continued to be of such poor quality, purchasers and users of fibre would be driven to other fibres and countries, it was recommended that the hemp exponed be officially inspected and classified and carry the mark of the Govern ment upon it to fadicate its quality. A bill was drawn in this sense, but the public dis cussion satisfied the Cominission that fatle if any good could be brought about by such legislation. So far as we were able to de termine, the bill which was desired by the

·JAPANESE REFUGEES.
Two Japanese refugees from Siberia arrived in London recently, and tell a striking story of their experiences. Their evidence was inter- preted by Mr. Shand. Their names are Tachi kuwa Jingo o and Ikeda Iwao. The first was was head of the Japanese community in Irkutsk, the latter the chief Japanese resident in Chita. On Feb. 8 all the Japanese residents of Irkutsk were ordered to leave the town within threa days. The Governor ordered them all to Chita. At midnight all the Japanese were packed four at a time in stetiges meant to hold only two, and driven by one horse each instead of the usual pair. During the crossing they suffered severe privations, and several were frostbitten. On arriving at Chia the Japanese were-treated kindly by the Governor, gave Mr. Tachikawa and Mr. Ikeda passports to travel back through Europe, where they were assisted by the Japanese Legation. Mr. Ikeda stated that news had reached Chita from Harbin from time to me of the banging of Japanese resid. ents accused of railway breaking, or suspected of being spies. In striking contrast to this is the testimony of the Kirjelya Viedomosti, which states that all the Russians who have arrived from Nagasaki state that the Japanese treated them extremely well.
GENERAL KUROPATKIN.
THE MAN WITH A LEGEND.
Russia is under no apprehension as to how General Kuropatkin will consport himself in the Far East. From the Tsar downwards there is
absolute confidence in his ability to crush the Japanese The more credulouaal. Nicholas's subjects have woven a legend round the inan. In the peasant imagination he is Skobeleft come back to life to place his sword at the disposition of his country. Even in the Russian army the belief prexails that Skobeleff, whose remains lie at Moscow, has not wholly disappeared so long as Kuropatkin lives.
And, indeed, it may with trath be said that there is a good deal of the dead Skobeleff in the living Kuropatkin. For the man in whose hands lies the destiny of Russia's prestige in the Far East learnt the art of war from the great hero of the Russo-Turkish campagn. He was Skobeleff's chief of staff, and bonds of real affection united the two men. "If a bullet does not carry you off, I predict a brilliant future for you," said the great general. The bullet caine at Shipka, and everybody thought that Kuro parkin's career was enued. "My brave and andefatigable Kuropatkin," wrote Skobeleff in his despatch.

The lieutenant, as he was then, was in the midst of an inferno of shot and shell, Suddenly," wrote Vereschagin, "I saw Kuro- patkin turo as pale as death. Two saldiers held him up. He stopped in order to take breath behind a rock "A bullet had struck him on the left shoulder, and came out at the back. He begged me to examine his wound, and to tell him whether it was mortal or Bot. He was conveyed under the shelter of the ravine, where his wound was attended to. But the condition of the Russians was so critical that little atten- tion could be paid to him. When Skobelef heard the news tears came into his eyes. is an irreparable loss," he said.
Kuropatkin was placed in a litter and con. veyed over a well-nigh impassable road. These who carried him could only advance with ex- treme difficulty. The jolting was terrible, and ince the bearers fell, and he was pitched out in the snow. "Can you write?" he asked au under officer near him. "Yes," was the reply. "Then take a pocket-book and pencil from my tunic, and write at my dictation." The dict.- tion over, Kuropatkin said, "Now carry that to General Skobeleff, and place it in his own hands at whatever cost." The officer net skubeletf in the course of half an hour. The general opened the note with nervous hands and read, "The Turks must be dislodged from the position at Sireneve before everything elsea recommendation which assured Sko. beleff that his chief of staff was not going to
die just yet.
PROGRESS OF CHRISTIANITY

The German missionary Schiller, who has spent many years in gospel work, has recently published, in the Chronik der Chri-lichen Welt (Leipsic), a timely account of the status of Christianity in Japan. The Literary Digest condenses his article as follows:

According to reliable statistics, the total number of Japanese Christians in 1902 was 129,134, of whom 46,634 were ratestants, 6,680 Greek Catholics, and 55,824 Roman Catholics. In addition to these, there are thousands of children who are not included in the reports of the Protestant churches, so that the total number will easily be 200.00 for the whole empire. This is, indeed, a small per- centage in a total population of about 45,000,000 -only four or five Christians to every thousand of the population. Yet it represents a great achievement when we remember that it is only thirty years since the law, punishing persons for becoming Christians was abrogated, and the public warnings against Christianity an "the wicked sect" were taken from the bulletin. boards. The growth in late years has also been satisfactory. The Protestants rep rted 4,308 baptisms, the Greek Catholics <83, and the Koinan Catholics 4,391, in 1991 alone, or a

total increase equal to 5.5 per cent., while then the papers they represented. But, indeed, average increase in population is only 5 per cent. Even if this proportionate growth is maintained, however, it will still be one hundred and fifty years before the outward Christianiza- tion of Japan is an assured fact. In the begin- ang of 1902 there existed in the empire 03 organized Protestant congregations, of which 80 were financially independent and no longer in ssion-churches: also 17: Greek Catholic churches and chapels. These were served by 380 ordamed Protestant pastors and by 27 Greek and 34 Roman Catholic priests, assisted by a host of non-ordained evangelists, teachers,,
I be bulk of this and other native helpers. work is still dependent on the assistance of the mission societies. But we can boldly claim that the quality of the Japanese Christians and preachers is such that Japanese Christianity would have abiding permanence even if all mission help were withdrawn. In reference to the spread of Christianity, it must be said that the work is still confined to the great centres of population, and is almost unknown to the people in the country districts. The organized congregations are found only in the cities, okio alone reporting 15,000 Christians. It is evident that these centres constitute the best bases for the spread of the church.
The influence of this relatively small body of Christians in the state at large is strikingly brought oufin an article by the native preacher, Kozaki Hiromichi, which appears in the same journal. He says:
"Although Christianity in Japan is still in its beginnings, there is abundant evidence to show that, relatively, it exerts remarkable influence and power; and in some departments of thought it has actually assumed the controlling leader. ship. There are but few of the modern books of Japan, especially of those that have been published during the re gn of the present Em- peror, that do not show this tendency. Many expressions, now in general usage, such as 'Sambi' (equivalent to praise and glory'); jeiski' (equivalent to 'eternal life'); Kansha' (as the equivalent of thanks), are Christian expressions. The conception of 'Kami,' or God, has received a new meaning. The modern expressions in moral and ethical spheres show the influence of Christianity more than that of any other religion. Society in general has learned from Christiacity that monogamy is the highest type of married life. When some years ago the Mormons began their propaganda in Japan, the great majority of the papers opposed
the teaching.
It is remarkable how many of the promin ent men of Japan are Christians. To this creed belong one member of the imperial cabinet, two judges of the Supreme Court, two presidents #n the lower house of parlament, three Vice-ministers of state-not to mention 1
