State Lib, THE MONROE JOURN VOLUME XI. NO 4 MONROE. N.C., TUESDAY FEBRUARY 23 1904 One Dollar a Year J Militant Vladivostok I ; Ml 1 rlr. ' F.ntering any of the many harbors of China, one become immediately ware of being in the land of John Chinaman by the numerous pagodas, fishing villages and harbor craft that roufront the eve at everr alteration of the ship's court, savs ferncst Wil liam Ilewson in th; Huston Trans script. The very atmosphere is redo lent of that peculiar aroma so char acteristic of China. Vladivostok differential itself in many wars from other Oriental cities. Japanese, Chinese, Coreans and Rus sians are the predominating classes, and they have built a city architec turally rude in character, but im pregnable to assault The harbor entrance from nk-r the ureal Bay resembles that of San Francisco; not only are the entrances almost identi cal in formation, but also are the names; you pass through the Golden Gate at San Francisco, and enter the Golden Horn of Vladivostok. Russian Stronghold. The first Russian stronghold con structed in the far East, Vladivostok stands today as the pioneer outpost of Russian advance into that region. Situated on a gentle slope of hills on a curve of the Golden Horn, the city is so screened as to be entirely con cealed from without the harbor. Ow ing to the strategical position of the many small islands lying in and about the harbor, heavy pieces of or dinance have been mounted on com manding and advantageous points to insure safety from a sea attack. While in the city the writer counted forty three fortified positions proUvt ing the harbor entrance. Vladivostok (pronounced Ylad-e-vo'-su k) is essentially a port of and for tin- Unssiati. This is manifested in a marked degree by the absence of Knglish cakiiig clerks in the hotels snd commercial houses, which is not the case in any other part of the Orient. The Russians do not en courage immigration of aliens, but supplement the imputation by send- Why Japan Begaoi War.

But stupidity, however, has its' moment of relaxation, even in a1 Russian soldier, brutish and ignorant as he is. The following incident, which happened in Vladivostok dur ing the writer's sojourn there, will tend to illustrate the feelings of ani mosity against the Japanese, which at present prevail throughout Siberia and Manchuria. There are nuinlieni of Japanese in Vladivostok following various vocations, and short as they are they are not U small in stature as to be seen and ferreted out by Russian soldiers wlio take fiendish delight in handling them roughly Lnity and to natural conditions. I ter propositions of Russia couvineed japan that Kuwtia would bind it self to nothing that lesseued its bold in Manchuria and n't strong 1 position to strike Korea and China.

Japau virtually controls all Korean shippiug trade, its merchants con trol the trallie iu iiiitiort and ex ports, and Japau capital and labor are butMiiig railroads in Korea. Japan a control is due to propiu and intimidating them. One after noon a short time ago, a big, burly Russian trooper, coarse and bloated in face and figure, and a beard that none but a Russian dare exhibit, strutted up to a little almond-eyed brown man on one of the main roads and demanded of him his passport The Jap, not being gifted in the lan guage of the country, explained in his best English, accompanied by a doS of the cap and a sweeping bow that he left his identification papers at borne; whereupon the Russian probably becoming incensed over the politeness of trie Jaanese which possibly looked to him as affected, seized the little subject of the Mika do about the neck and violently shook him until his head actually rattled, and marched him off to head quarters, in the meantime muttering between his teeth in the most broken English imaginable, " By and by fight, eh?" Watching Japanese. Since the advent of the present Russian-Japanese embroglio the Rus sian officials in Vladivostok and else where in the Orient have spared no pains and trouble in keeping a close watch on the Japanese in the coun try. It is well known to the officials that there are many Japanese within their city and thereabouts acting in the capacity of merchants, but w ho are in reality government spies. Be cause of these stringent measures adopted to keep the wily Jap from seeing too much, there have been fre quent clashes between both Russians and Japanese, imprisoned .laps and oftentimes recourse to the Mikado's ing numbers of their own people out diplomatic ronresentative. which has euner steamer or acniw cim-nn by the great railroad. The city has probably the poorest hotel accommodations in the East. These places look snmptuous and comfortable from without, but expe rience and contact within these self styled hostelries has unmistakably proved that the Muscovite has yet much to learn concerning the man aging of hotels. The English-striking traveller enters the hotel to dis cover to his chagrin that the hotel stall has not been coached even in the simplest English monosyllables. Taking into consideration the Ian gunge of Russia to lie an accomplish ment requiring strenuous labor to acquire, it is obviously certain the poor foreigner who chances to come into close quarters with a Vladivos tok hotel will not better his temper ament by remaining too long a time. Military City. Vladivostok isa military city. Com mercial house thrive there. Asiatic aliens have settled in great numbers, but alve the clattering of com merce, the confusion of tongues, the click of machinery, is heard the voice of the military. The houses of the lower claRs are squalid and dirty, justly fitted to shelter those whose ideas on cleanliness are in strict ac cord with the conditions of their abodes. The streets are like the houses dirty, dusty, and the recep table for the garbage of the oorcr classes. A drive over the roads of Vladivo stok is both instructive and excit ing, and affords one a sufficiency of exerciw that even several hours of physical culture could not induce. The favorite mode of conveyance is the "isiwashciick" or four-wheeled vehicle, closely resembling the vic toria, with the exception tliat one horse is hitched between the shafts and another to the side of the first horse, but outside the shaft. The Cossack driver, perched unconcern edly on the seat, in the green coat and pulled red sleeves, forms a ludi crous picture to the non-resident. The traveller anticipating a delight ful drive, takes his seat in the ve hicle, and almost immediately the horse, at a word fiom the driver with a leap is off. The Cossacks are very proficient in driving and hand ling these conveyance. They start the animals very quickly and stop them with suddenness anything but pleasant to the passenger. They are dangerously reckless in driving, and one must be gifted with consid erabie temerity to undertake a drive, especially on the roads of Madivo- stok, where the prevailing conditions make driving rather more of an ex perience than a pleasure. Russian Officer. In every hotel buffet, corridor and balcony one is confronted by the Rus sian officer; well built, natty, digni fied and doubly proud and conscious of the fact that he is a servant of his lord, the Czar. The word "Czar" is seldom used by the Russians ; they speak of their monarch as r.mper or." The Russian officer comes al most invariably from the well-to-do or Aristocratic families, and supports himself from his private income. In could Dot hold his social position otherwise, as the Czar does not pay his officers any too well. Just the reverse to the officer is the Russian soldier, an inherent dis ciple of filth, dirt and squalor. He is irregular of feaUrt and big of resulted in many cases in the alleged offenders being sent out of the coun try. The Japanese find it exceedingly difficult to move about in any part of Siberia or Manchuria without the Russian officials becoming cognizant of the fact. This is the main reason why they (the Japanese) are entirely at sea concerning the quota of Rus sian forces at present in the far East, If the Russians are ferreting out the Japs in Silteria and Manchuria, they an also losing no time in study ing the strategical zones of the Jap anese Empire, through the medium of government agents, who may be either Germans, French or English men. The most important fortified positions in Japan are the entrance to Nagasaki harbor al Khinmloscki. the southern entrance to the Inland Kea, the extensive positions on the Island of Awaji, which command the northern entrance to the Inland Sea. and the line of works commanding the entrance to Yokohama and Tokio. These positions are of vital inioit ance to the Japanese, and they allow- no camera or sketching within a radius of several miles of any bat tery. Ihiring the past few months several foreigners who happened to be in the, vicinity of certain of these positions, were taken into custody and had considerable difficulty in securing their release. The Japnnese alarmist press spread the rert throughout the country that several Russian spies had lieen detected in making maps of fortifications and had been arrested. Not a little ex citement was caused thereby.- Ho suspicious have the Japs of late le coine that any foreigner who hap pens to lie in a district little fre quented by foreigners is shadowed and followed by soldiers and police in disguise until he makes his way back to one of tho ports. hi le the writer was standing on the deck of a small steamer in the little land-locked bay of Nagasaki, previous to starting on his trip to Maiivostok, there came aboard an elderly man, slovenly in apiearancc and unkempt of f;ice, who took pas sage in the steerage. When the steamer arrived in Vladivostok this iierson was one of the first to disem bark. The next afternoon the writer was greeted with a most profound bow from a Russian colonel of infan try, and recognized in him the indi gent and impecunious individual who staggered aboard the ship at Nagasaki n spy. "Ruined, and by u woman !" ex claimed the man. "I fail to see the )int,'' rejoined the other. "Same here," said the party of the first part.

Added to these things, iu is'l.s Ja pau guaranteed to Korea that "the domestic affairs of Korea should remain unaffected by foreign inter ference," and that Russia should not meddle with the progress of "commercial and industrial rela tions between Japau and Korea." Recently Russia has established, or attempted to establish, a fort i lied trading post in Northern Korea. Thereupon Japan considered and uo doubt rightly that Russia had broken its INiiH pledge, and was trying to get a foothold in Korea and supplant Japan's iower iu that country. Japan has had another grievance against Russia. Manchuria is re garded by Japan as au integral part of the Chinese Empire, and other countries, also, so regard it. And yet for three years Russia has coutiuued to occupy it, and Japan believes that Russia intends to an nex Manchnria or to become so powerful there that it cannot be dislodged. At this time Russia maintains in Manchuria .1ift,MM) Soldiers. The presence of so large au army by the Russians in a Chi nese province is regarded as a dec laration that Manchuria belongs in everything except name to Russia and not to China. It doe more than that, it menaces the whole of Noith Chiua and puts that country at the mercy of Russia. The Jap anese believe that Russia keeps that large army iu Manchuria not only lor the purpose ot dominating Manchuria uud North China, but to be ready to march upon l'eking whenever the oeeasiou seemed op portune successfully to uttack that Chinese city. Japau thinks that Russia's massing these troops in Manchuria in the Boxer uprising, ostensibly to protect its railroads and investments, was for the carry ing out of its ultimate design of grubbing pint of China and driv ing Japan out of Korea, events which would destroy the progress and prosperity of the island king dom. With such convictions as to Rus sia's intentions, Japan demanded a written pledge ol Russia to with draw its troops from Manchuria province and live ill) to its treaty that binds Russia to respect the integrity of the Chinese Empire ' and to make no attempt to estab lish fortified trading posts in Korea. Russia agreed or rather iu diplo matic language intimated that it would lie willing to bind itself not to establish fortified trading posts in Korea if Japan would recognize Russia as the paramount power in Manchuria. Russia said in sub stance, "You shall have Korea if you w ill recognize Russia s suprem acy in Manchuria." But Japan declined to make the trade, main taining that w hat power it has in Korea is natural and not depend ent upon a standing army to up hold, while Russia s stay in Man cliuriii is continued only by a very large standing army. It says it needs no help to hold its suprem acy in Korea, and that Russia is honorably ImhiiiU by treaty to re spect "the integrity of the Chinese Empire ' which it is breaking by massing its army in Manchnria. In the uegotirtions, Russia, instead of directly answering Japan's ue maud, was proposing this compro mise and that compromise, never actually declaring, but never indi eating that it would meet what Ja pan declared must Ins done unless it was ready for war. Kussia wished to postpone a linal answer as long as liossihlc. It. was not ready for war, while Japan was prepared before it issued its iilti matuiu. The parleying and conn Wood'sSeeds.

And it is rirtnly eon vinced that if it would not itself be later confined to its island territory and then, perhas, forced to h'h! for that after Russia has obtained iu Korea what it greatly needs a port that docs not become ice bound that it must fight now. Japan is forcing the war now be cause it believes it must tight Rus sia now or later if it wishes to maintain ita power as a natiou. It believes it can win victory now, but fears that ten years later Rus sia would be able to crush it. With that belief, it is easy to un derstand why the whole country was enthusiastic for war aud why the Japanese are all ready to enlist and to venture all upon the out come of war. They believe that national greatness deieuds upon a present victory. The hrst encount ers justify the faith of the Japa nese, and most of the civilized world will pray that Japan's arm may be lengthened and that it may be victorious.
