First Four hundred years ago t'ne Dorol Ion of Roesla was confined to the Tsardom Muscovy, which contained only 37.000 squ? no lies, an area not very much larger tb the State of South Carolina, while todny contains 8,660,282 square miles, or 17 of t land of the globe. This area eontalns a pc ulatlon oj 128,888,914, and extends from Prt sla. In Europe, into Asia, and through Norl eastern Asia to'tbe Pacific ocean. Of this area 3,186,962 square miles are in I rope and contain a population of 115,440, and 6,883,935 square mllffi are In Asia, h a population of only 18,448 774, or about two the square mile. The Inhabitants of Asia Russia are for the most part wild aDd uue lllztd,88 well as being very sparse, so that t main strength of the Russian Empire Is European Russia, In wealth, population a civilization. The Russian Empire slice the days of t small Tsardom of Muscovy has extended dominions by conquering tbe wild and i civilized nation* around it, and establish! It away over them. As late ns tbe beginning of the elghteer century Russia was comparatively an uuc lllzed country even In Europe. About t year 1700, Peter the Great, Czar of Russia, came awakened to a sense of his rexponslb lty to his people aa absolute Sovereign, a made strenuous efforts to Introduce umo them a knowledge of the more useful a essential arts of civilized life, such as knowledge of shipbuilding, of commerce, medicine, of letters to a limited extent, a also improvement In agricultural and stc raising, but still more than one-half of t population of Ruista remained serfs, or sla^ until 1861, at which time t,her were set fr numberingat that time 50,000,000 persons, h even today only 2.8 per cent of tbe popu tlon of Russia can read and write. The government Is strictly aa Absoh Monarchy, all legislatlvo authority and e; outlve power being centered lu the Czar. . distribute* his executive authority amoug I nobles, and Grand Dukes, making them Gc ernors of provinces, but the power of enactl lsw remains with him alone. The religion of the country establish by law, Is that of ih9 Greek Church, ol wbl the Czar Is bead, but other religions are ni tolerated, except the Catholic and Jew, ti some portions of Asla9llo Russia are still i gan. Tbe government of the Czar Is preserved force, a large and powerful police force bel perpetually maintained, every man In Rusi being compelled to serve in tbe army < yearn, and the peace footing t>elne about GC 000 while the wur footing Is 2.500 000 men. It le about 6,000 miles from at. Putersburg Port Arthur, aud about 4,000 miles from t European frontier of Rassla. Port Artb previous to the war, could be reached by t great Siberian Railway and lakes Interve lag. Troops traveling from Europeau Rust to tbe scene ol the war travel over this rou a distance of about four thousand miles, ta lm: them about thirty days t? make the trl Japan, the other belligerent; was unknov to Europeans until visited by Marco Pole 1542. and while some efforts wt-re made I missionaries to Introduce the Christian i llglon.and by tbe Dutch, Portugese and aor others to Introduce trade relations these we for the most part unsuccessful, and Japan i mainert u hermit Kingdom until about ti year 1860. Commodore Perry having first vl lted that country In 1853, and a treaty lookli to trade relatione was made with them 1S55. Until this time the country remain* stranger to civilization and western Ideas, b In 1868 the present Mikado was restored to t ancestral throne, aud embraced western Ide and western civilization with great earne ness, and sought to Introduce them amoi his people, aud foreigners were Invited fro the west to come and teach western idei and civilization, In their schools and unlvi si ties an d In 1884 a free publlo school syste was established throughout Japan, tbe ? gtlsb language being made a part of l course ol study, and thereafter every child t tween tbe ages of 6 to 16 years was com pel I by law to attend those schools, and are si compelled to do so. In this respect Japan more progressive than the Legislature South Carolina. Up to 1881 tbe Japanese had used the 8*1 blc System of China, and all her llteratu was written In these characters, but upon I vestlgatlon it was discovered that every p< sible sound in the Japanese vocabulary cou be expressed by 22 Roman characters ; and waa'then discovered that a child could lea to read tbe|Japaneee language written in R man characters In one-tenth of the time lb It sou Id be written in the old Salable ctiar; ters. Hence all sobool oookn were thereafi printed in Roman characters. The Japanese also introduced reforms tbeir system of government, making It a 11 ited monarchy with a written constltutlc modeled very much on the plan of the mi arcby and constitution of England. Tb?

Tbe Mika Invited 280 men of letters to sit in tbe (Jpi: Home witb tbe hereditary nobles. Tbe Lower House Is elective. Each vol must pay as muib aa five dollars taxes anr ally. On tbe day of tbe adoption of tbe aonstil lion tbe Mikado appeared In public wltb 1 wife, tbe Empress, for tbe first time In t history of Japan. This country, differing from all other Anii ic nations having a long established clvlli: Hon of their own, laid aside all prejudice a adopted within the spaoe of fortv years tt which was most useful and helpful in we em civilization. It is comparatively a small country, bavl an area of only 161,245 square miles, hut he lng a population ol 44,/o0,000. Its peace 10 log 1b about 200.000 men, and 11b war footlDg about 600,000. lu capltol Is not exceedl 1,000 from Port Arthur, and Is not more th from three to five hundred miles. from 1 coasts oflts main Island to Vladovostock city occupied by Russia on the Pacific cot Its first contest or war after 'adopting we em olvillzatlon was with China In 1894. T fighting In this was commenced In Corea, t Japanese being there commanded by Mi thai Yamagata, and they defeated the CI nese In every battle. On November 22, IS he Japanese, uuder Marshal Oyama, n< field marshal, made an attack on Port Artb and with a loss of 18 billed and 250 woundi took the city and forts on which ?20,000, bad been spent, and hastened on and capti ed Mukden. Upon this China offered ten of peace, aDd by the terms thereof Port I tbur was surrendered to the Japanese, a their ships were to be admitted to all t lakes and rivers of Cblna, and also the pen sula on which Port Arthur is situated w surrendered to Japan. When Russia heard of these terms of pen she was very much ofiended. Port Arth was the only port free from Ice all tb? ye through which she could enter the Pacll ana the wished the free and unrestricted v of this port for her Trans-Siberian rs road. Kussla, Germany and France wrote to J pan a note of remonstrance demanding a vision of the treaty with China, and t acoeislon of Port Arthur, and the Penlnsu Japan hesitated, but getting no support fro England, she at length yielded, getting an e dltlonal sum of 830,000,000, whereupon W hal-Wel was ceded to Great Britain by Chli In 1698. and Kloo Cbou to Germany and t unsefruot ol Port Arthur was ceded to Ri sla. Japan thus deprived of (he fruits of h victory by superior powers set herself re? lutely to work 10 prepare herself for sui emergencies as might arise. She trained h leading men in the best military and nav schools, equipped herself with the be?t it plements of modern warfare, and supplli nerself with the munitions and appangea modern war. She had had the one object view, to gain what she thought baa be< unjustly taken from her, and what she in been unjustly compelled to yield ander tl presence of superior force. When the Embassadors were beleaeun or imprisoned at Pekln durlug the Bos movement In China, Japan sent tier soldle along with those ot other powers to the relief, but wbeD a settlement of matters w made after the liberation of the Embassadoi It was agreed that Port Arthur should be opi to the trade of all nations, and that Rubs should only have such rights and prlvileg In Manchuria as were necessary to complel eqalp aod maintain the Trans-Siberian Ra road, among which was the right to have c? tain troops and garrisons along the line railway, but that within a certain time t her troops, except these garrisons, should I withdrawn Irom Manchuria and Port Arthv and that Manchuria should remain Chine territory. When the time came for" Russia to remo these troops she under first one pretense ai another failed to do so, but rather lncreasi the number, and plainly evinced a dlsposlth to Lake possession ot the whole territory y of < W7 eastern war, IE CLUB OF THIRTY-NINE, EVENING, B.
