"Don't go," he said, as I half rose. My eyes were smarting with the hanging smoke, and my head aching with the sickening fumes. I got myself a cup of tea, and said, "And sf- ter?"
He laughed again.. '"After) What do I care "about 'after. I live in the present. The past I've forgotten, and the future I never think of
long as I've enough for a pipo. It's only fools like you that waste your brains and energies on thoughts of the future. You'll Go away and say I'm a wreck an opium fiend, unprincipled, degraded, and a slave to the habit. You'll say I've sunk, sunk into such moral degradation that beasis wouldn't wink into, but I tell you now, before you go, that I've risen to such beights as you could never dream of attaining, and, and-leave me another sixpence before you go It's nothing to you, sixpence, and it's a glorious twelve hours to me.

THE IMPENDING GREAT BATTLE.
A JAPANESE PAPER'S COMMENT.
in an auticle under the above heading the Nippon observes that while the plenipo. tentiaries of Japan and Russia are now about to enter upon negotiations for peace, each country is eagerly pushing forward military operations at the frost. Which will take place first, continues the Nippon, the signing of a peace protocol or the coming great battle, it is difficult to say. The Japanese have com. pleted the occupation of Saghallen, invaded De Castries Bay on the Siberian coat, and are now about to cross the frontier of North Korea, They have never slackened their activity in strengthening the forces in Manchuria. On the other hand, the Russians have surrendered Saghalien with but slight opposition, and they are directing little attention to the defence of the Korean frontier. This is because the Russians are concentrating their energy in Manchuria with the hope of obtaining a great victory once and for all. They are sacrificing everything to that end. General PLinevitch, as Commander-in-Chief, is naturally intent on achieving something superior; and the Tear and his officials are also fervent in their desire to obtain a victory so as to minimise Japan's demands, maintain the con- fidence of the Russian people, und regain the respect of the Powers. Their bombastic pro- clamations for the continuation of the war can- not be altogether considered as mere bluff. In the baule of Makden, the Russians. lost half their forces. Since then, they have effected great improvements in the Siberian Railway and increased the transporting capacity of the line. Despite the internal disturbances, and the difficulty of mubilisation, they have now succeeded in placing on the field a larger army than before the battle of Mukdeo. The army is in the best of spirits, quite different from what it was before, when they were merely at- tempting to check the advance of the Japan
Ase.
The statement of General Linevitch
in his recent message to the Tear that the moral of his troops inspires complete con- fidence, and that the armies in the field are ready for any task, cannet therefore be dismiss ed as mere boasting.

counterbalance the preparations of the enemy, and it is certain that the Japanese will gain an advantageous position in the fighting. The Japanese are used to victory, but cannot be content with miera victory any longer, The success in the impending battle must be far greater than before. The victory of Admiral Togo in the Battle of the Japan Sex was greater than was anticipated-so appalling wat it that Admiral Togo attributed his success in a large measure to the grace of Heaven. This cannot always be expected, but it is highly desirable that the army achieve equal success. The circumstance of the battle of Mukden and the battle of the Shaho must not be
repeated, and the coming battle must be really
decisive,
In conclusion, the Nippon points out that the Russians are striving hard to obtain victory so as to regain their fallen prestige, while the Japanese are exerting themselves to score a kweeping success and so complete their victory In the present war. Each side is pushing for. wand preparations for this end. The delay in the fighting is due to the rainy season, and the great distance by which the main forces of the "Ptwo armules are separated. If, when the rainy season is over, the enemy keeps himself as far away as at present, it will be impossible to give battle. If General Linevilch is determined to fight, as he represents to the Tsar, and if he is an officer capable of managing a large army, he ought to come southwards and fight. Judg. Ing from the strength of the opposing armies, which have been largely reinforced of late, a formidable battle will be fought without delay. If a peace protocol should be signed before the battle is fought, General Linevitch will appear an incapable commander, contrary to the general estimation formed of him.
