"To insure peae-e- in the Orient and

is tlie- aim and purpose e?f our empire, '

feir stK-crsfcfully e-ff< .-ting this purpose. !

In Manchuria, crowned her overboar.ng
and aggressive policy by extend
Ink her arms to the Korean peninsula.
"We are highly solicitous to preserve
pence, but had no alternative
save that of war. which was forced i
upon us. Throughout the negotiations
Russia showed a haughty and '
overhearing attitude, which, us has |
lately been shown, w sainudeqtiatcly
supported by military strength. Kits- 1
sia allowed herself v> be deceived,
and slighted our empire, for site nev- j
or beliovi d Japan would draw the |
swonl of war. Then, alter suffering
repeated defeats on land md sea. lilts <
sia perceived the mistake she had
made, and, having discovered the seri- '
oasness of the situation, began to lake
adequate measures. The case was different
with us. Wo were alive to
the seriousness of tin situation and i
were prepared for exigencies.
"Russia must ?e<. ?lmt in*, ? '
not be concluded by tlx issui s of a '
few battles. With its, I ho war means
life or death, ami not one of our 4f>,000,000
it mains ignorant of the vital j
issue at stake. Wo are prepared to !
sacrifice our last man or oar last j
eont for this war.
The dolay in the doolsive result of j
our siogo at Port Arthur gives llus- !
siu hope of being able to relieve the '
garrison, and for this purpose she resolved
to empty her naval defense at
home, while on land corps after corps
has been mobilized and sent eastvt
ard.
"Tito military and naval plan of
Russia seems to center in the relief
of Port Arthur, and General Kuropatkin's
southward advance, which resulted
in his serious defeat, had the
lolief of the garrison as its sole object.
The Russian Emperor's instructions
to Kuropatkin not to retire beyond
Mukden were desitrniwi ?.?
the gloom that h:ul been bunging over
the people of Russia since the defeat
of Russian arms nt the battle of Liao
Yang; and Kuropatkin assumed the
aggressive, perhaps against his own
judgment.
"Everything seems to hinge on the
fall of Port Arthur, but I do not
console myself with the thought that
the capture of the ill-fated fortress
will bring the war to a speedy termination.
Its eapturo will give occasion
for renewed plans of warfare by Russia,
and 1 am watching keeply for
such new developments.
"The domestic conditions of Japan
are highly satisfactory. The history j
of our Diet may be summed up by l
saying tiinl from the first it planted I
itself firmly in opposition to the gov- |
, x>iiimem on unnuctal questions. After
my appointment, friction became
increasingly violent. The two great
patties, the constitutionalists and the
progressists, hold a combined front
in opposition to my ministry. Despite
administrative reforms effected on
their demand, wo failed to satisfy
tliem. They criticized our financial
(measures as excessive, and refused
to pass the bills.
Commander Leaves. 1
Vlndlvostoek, Ry Cable.?Rear Admiral
llnup, commander of the port
for the last three years, has departed.
Private advices from fort Arthur indicate
that the position there is not so
desperate ns It Ik reported abroad. The j
Japanese are represented to be repair- j
ing the cruiser Kasuga and 10 torpedo |
boat destroyers. They have established !
a sub-naval base on the Elliott Islands, j
a short distance east of Port Arthur.

Judging by those conditions, serious .
collisions between the governed ancl !
governing were predicted, but. when
the war catne, tins frletion entirely
eased, and the House of Representatives.
wrlch once refused to pass a
budget of $125,000,000 as excessive
and unbearable, gave a ready and willing
assent to the first war budget of
$288,000,000.
"At this session of the diet, the government
will be compelled lo present
a budget calling for $388,000,000. and
indications aft: that it wiil be passed >
without tho slightest difficulty. This j
happy phenomenon is attributable to
the characteristics of our people.
"Before a great national problem
our people unite, and friends and op- |
poncnts join bands for the accomplish- 1
ment of our national purposes. With
the groat problem of the war before
tliim, the people of our uatiou have
become as one man. Wo have no
war party and no peace party, as Russia
lias, but, on the contrary our nation
is one. and united with a deter- '
ruination to tight to the last extremi- '
