m ? i*3* ! ^ <* < '*' iSW< THE WAR. The past week has been by far the must eventful and important in the history of the Kmsmi .lap. anese war, and the forces of the Mikado have captured Lino Yun?r, and put Gen. Kuropatkin and his ltu?sian army to iligbt toward Mukden. This is the outcome ol a battle in which over 500,0011 men have been more or less actively en^aoed, and which is pronounced bv comnotpnt mil t?r?nl ips 1 * w "* ' ono of tho greatest the world ever saw. Tho casualties have not been computed, but Home ha*e estimator! that they will roach f>0,* 000. This may be nn exaggeration, but there is no doubt thai the operations, and in fact the battle which is still in progress, beginning on Aug. 25th, lias indeed been bloody. The magnitude of the battle of Liao Vang may, to some extent, be appreciated when it is recalled that tho lurgest number of men engaged in any battle of the Napoleonic wars was at i a? * t / *i - uu inc luuuiii jruiii i>ioecow, where the allies hud 300,00(J and ihe French less than s0,000 The forces confronting each other at Horodioo numbered 2N0, 000; at Waterloo 100,000; at hied ericksburg, \'a , 100.000; at Gettysburg about 150,000; at (Srave* lot 320,000, aid at Sedan 134,000 Tho battle of Liao Yung has more than borne out the predictions thai there would lie terrific daughter when tho land forces came to try censlusions, and even the .Japs themselves have doubtless been amazed at the way they have driven back the Russians. The nearest counterpart to it, in mag. nitude and duration is, according to Tho New York Sun, found in the lighting at i.iepzig, last iug five days. The land victories of the Mikado's army uro ipuch more significant than tho destruction of the war vessels of Russia, for it strikes at the very vitals of the Czar's power?at a point where it was supposed the Cossack would bo hardest to overcome. The capture of Lino Yang, the dispatches state, will likely have a bad effect upon the garrison at Port Arthur, which is now without hope of relief, since General Kur? opatkin is put to it tosave his own army. Liao Yang wus selected by the general as his headquarters when the .Jepnneso began to get a foothold upon the coast of Manchuria. It is about 300 miles from Port Arthur and midway between M /"M At xicw i^uwaog, ine nearest port, about 75 miles distunt, and Mukden, the principal city of central Manehuria. There the Russians had established vast stores for the maintenance of their army, apparently regarding it as permanent headquarters. The enfoaced cvacation of the city, however, caused the stores to be destroyed. Desptte all their reverses, the Russian otticers at St. Petersburg continue to put on a bold front, and assert that tna movements are merely a part of Genersl Kuroputkin's plan to withdraw inland and wear the Japanese out by forcing them to lengthen their lines of communication. A study of the maps will show how shallow this explanation is. The .Japanese base U the sea, and from Lino Yang to the nearest port is less tko n 1 OH mllnu l-v * I sl.?. - - ?4 ?uun 1 v\ iuiiv^j W 11 I I W IIIU Cliy 11* self is on the Taitse river, navigable for small gunboats. Then, too, the railroad to the sea doubtless falls into the hands {of the Japanese as fast us they advance, and this will tie the case for the entire breadth of Manchuria. Therefore, while the Japanese have to transport supplies some hundred tniles or so inland, the Kussinns must bring theirs for many more miles along the railroad In explaining their raver*cs at Luto Vai.a the Kuasians make General Stakelborg, the c? inmnnrier of the Siberian Army Corps, numbering some 25000 men, tho sca|>egout. It is asserted that instead of obeying the order* 1 he received from General Kuropatkin, the general placet! his own interpretation upon them and I has oeen cut-oil from the main hody in its flight northwari. ll ? would seem however, that the whole Russian campaign has been one series of blunders if theit i defeats are to bo thus oxplained. With the almost unprecedented fighting around Liao Vang, the operations at Port Arthur, some 300 miles to the southward, have practically dropped out of sight The latest news from there is that no further assaults have occureci during ihe past week, but that the bombardment has to more or less extent been kept up. Since the hope of relief has been cut oil Japan will likely content herself with awaiting Iho natural fall <>l Port Arthur rather than resumug the costly assault upon th< fortification. As a natural consequence of tlx victory won by Japan within the 1 past few days, there has been 11 " tenewnl of pence talk,hut thore it nothing of a tangible natnre to hear out the idea that the nmttei of endeavoring to bring about f cessation of hostilities has even been seriously sonsidorod by any of the powers, and while Liussir has been severely dealt with she has by no means been whipped 1 unless she should elect to fight the war with tho present forces and not send any new troops to the field. Her resources are doubtless yet tremendous, and she will probably be able to continue the light for a long time, even though Japan's luck Iocs not turn. However, the issue as to whether the Cossack ortheOrienshall dominate Eastern Asia is a great deal naerer settlement t han al any timo since the war began, and there is only encouragement for those who hope that the decision may bo in favor of the little Brown luathen as against the white men who should be engaged in better business. There is a commercial feature in connection with this war which the South is especially iutercsted in, and that is as regards the demand for cotton goods. It is believed that the end of the war will t>ring about an unusual detuand for American fabrics from Japan. But Hie most significant result in this respect would doubtless come in case of Japan's final > ictory over Russia. Then would the ports of China he thrown open to the trade of the Western world to an extent that bag only been dreamed of heretofore. It is no! for this reason, however, that Jbc sympathy of Great Britain and America are so strongly with th? Jap., but rather because it is bebelieved that he stands fo:* the right against a domination that it not countenanced by the advanced thought of the Western world.? Charlotte Observer.
