The Mission to Thibet.

LONDON, 7th July, Mr. Balfour, speaking in the House of Commons, said that the policy of the Gov. ernment in regard to the Tibet Mission was unchanged. Negotiations might be opened at any moment during the advance with a competent and properly empowered negatia tor. The Government did not desire to ask terms at variance with previous declarations.

The Re-Organization of the British Army, The Standard learns that Mr. Arnold Forster's revised scheme of Army, re-organi- zation will virtually sweep the Militia out of existence. Sixty thousand of the least efficient Volunteers will be struck off. The South African Carrison reduced by 5,008 men, and Malta, Gibraltar and other outposts partly denuded. The scheme, which is not yet approved of by the Defence Committee, is an amazing budget of impossible proposals, mpre impracticable than the abandoned scheme recently before the Cabinet.

TYPHOON WARNING.

July 9th, 10a.m. Mr. Edw. S. Brags, U.S. Consul General, has issued the following notification :—

MERCILESS FIRE ON THE "HAT CHL”

The Shimonoseki correspondent of the Asahi sends to his paper a narrative, furnished those of the crews of the Hitzchi and Suda who have survived the transport disaster, which shows how merciless was the Russian fire. is stated that all the men balding responsible positions un board the #fitch have died or are missing. A helyisman, who was at the wheel on the bridge of the Hitachi at the time of the disaster and has survived, gives a vivid account of the last moments of Capuam Campbell and

other officers.

Captain Campbell, according to this man, just before firing commenced gave the order to putthe helm hard a starboard, and the wheelman at once obeying the steamer turned 180 degrees. Just as this order had been executed a projectile broke one of the Captain's legs. Instead of leaving the bridge, Captain Campbell sat down where he had been standing. While he was speaking to Mr. Kimura, the second officer, who was also on the bridge, the latter was struck by another projectile, and

FELL DEAD AT THE CAPTAIN'S FEET. There being now no commander on bridge, the helm was still hard a starboard, so that the steamer quickly described a circle and at last appeared to be making straight for the Russian ship, which caused the people of the lately sunk Ideumi, who were on board the Gromovel, to think that the Pituchs intended

to ram her. It is believed that for this reason

the Russian ship fired without mercy at the Hitachi, which carried a large number of troops. This can be inferred from the fact that the Russians showed no quarter and

THE KVOLUTION OF TAMEAL"

KINSAN.

Of the infinite capacity of Japanese for tak ing pains to perfect whatever their hands find

To those who know something of the history of the Japanese, and to those especially who have lived among them in their own country, the vitories they have won on sea and land are not in the least surprising. As one who.cers ever since the European Powers deprived may claim to be included in both these categories, I am inclined in altri ute the suc cess of the Japanese to three main factors their traditional love of country, their physical

fitness," and their passion for detail.

A European, and, perhaps even to a greater extent an Americ, will have considerable dif. culty in understanding the quality of Japanese patriotism. The German Emperor and perhaps a few of the more ulvanced members of the White Rose League are the only people west of Suez who really believe in the divine right of monarchs. But in Japan you have a whole nation, even the least unsoph sticated of them.. to whom a religious reverence for the Amperial line is as axiomatic, as completely removed beyond all doubt and controversy as the law of avitation. It cannot he explained, but there it, is. And mixed up with this perhaps bred of it, is a pride of race and contempt of

foreigners, stronger even, if that he possible, than the average Briton feels.

Much will be heard during the war of the splendid railways in Manchuria Yugovitch has done his work grandly. Massive bridges deep cuttings,istrong culverts, excellent build- ings as homes for officials, thousands of cottages for the 40,000 soldiers who have heen converted into guards, and scores of churches show the intended permanence of this gigantic work in a country considerably larger than France. For many years Yugovitch has been traversing Manchuria visiting every spot where Russian peasants and soldiers, Chinese coolies and Korean labourers have in thousands toiled to carry out his wonderful plans. Europe wondered how it was that after the terrific Boxer outbreak this of indomitable energy and the display of magni-Manchurian system seemed little the worse. The truth is that it was too solidly constructed remain abroad. Indeed, he went back to his for Boxers and bandits to perpetrate on it any own land more pro-Russian than when he left serious injury. The effect of Yugovitch's faith it, and though be owed much of his qualifica- ful and assiduous toil will be demonstrated as tions and skill to experience gained in England, the campaign now inaugurated proceeds. Well he is, like nearly all Russian officials and ad would it be for Russia her Siberian system ministrators, exceedingly anti-English. Like equalled the Manchurian.--Daily Express. Grodekoff, Ukhtomsky, and Kuropatkin, he likes the English personally, but entertains views absolutely antagonistic to British in- terests.

And with a military caste in a position of administrative and social superiority for more than seven hundred years, it night be supposed that the common people, the mere workers, would lose all railitary capacity. That they had not became clear when, for the second time in her history, Japan adopted universal conscription. This was in 1872, and five years latter the Satsuma rebellion gave ample oppor tunity for testing the neule of the new army On the one side were the flower of the Samurai, led by their trusted generals who had never known defeat; on the other, a body of recruits drawn from all classes of the people. The rebels were outnumbered, and both sides.
