MILITARY REVIEWS IN JAPAN.
some or the ceea Qualtetes or the Jan:m-
ese Derantrn and. Artillery.
• The Journal des Debates publishes some
interesting notes on the eJapanese army,
mede in 1892 by a French military expert,
who had the opportueity of following the
grand maneuvers of that year in Japan.
These maneuvers take place every two
years and would bave been repeated this
year had they not, unfortunately, been re-
placed by real warfare. In 1892 30,000 men
book the field. These formed three divisions
each completely oilanized in European
faehion, and comprising infantry, oevalry,
artillery, engineers, and train. The general
idea of the campaign supposed that an in-
vading army had landed at Sendai, in the
north of Nippon, and, after having repulsed
the Japanese division ocoupying the town,
was marched in several columns oil Tokio.
The imperial army, which had been °omen.
trated around Tokio, was then to effect a
junction with the repulsed division and
meet the invading forces near Iltsun,orniya.
Among the engagements which tookplace one
or two,it is true, were planned f rom beginning
to end beforehand. This was in accordance
with the wishea of the emperor, who is re-
puted to love, a bit of theatrical warfare.
On the other hand, a great part of the
fighting was unexpected, and passed " as
in war."
The Japanese infantry, although young
in appearance, seemed to be in excellent
cooditiore Their resistance to fatigue was
really remarkable, although their food con-
sisted only of rice, mud fish, and they usual-
ly slept on the hard ground. The common
soldier is well disciplined and very intelli-
gent. The noncommissioned officers are
well trained, and are full of vigor and dash.
For this reason the regularity of German
tactics—by which the army in now influen-
ced to a great extent—is unsuited to their
character. It is equally unsuited to the
nature of the country, in which the only
fortresses are the rivers. • The villages,
being built of wood and straw, are utterly
useless as shelter, as balls of the smallest
caliber would very soon play havoc with
them. Tho only natural, obstecles are the
woods. Of these —but more particularly
the rice plantations—the infantry have
learned to makeexcellent use.
The cavalry, on the other hand, are the
weakest portion of the army. The men,
and even the officers, are badly mounted
and ride badly. The horses have no "go"
in them. They trot badly, gallop not at
all, and could not compare in speed with a
"jinrikishe." runner, who can easily am,
complish Inc forty miles in a little over
eight hours.
Of the fidd artillery nothing but praise
can be said. Their movements are ex-
ecuted with swiftness and precision. The
guns used are mostly three.ineh bronze
pieces from the national arsenal at Osaka.
They are good at from 2,500 to 3,000 yards,
but can be used with affect at a longer
range. Unfortunately, they cannot easily
be transported everywhere, as the country
roach are for the most part mere bridle
paths—broad enough, at best, for the
passage of a "jinrikesha," and full of steep
declivities and sharp turnings.
, Of the commissariat little is said, but the
I • organization of the medical service receives
a great praise. In all the actions the ambu-
lances succored great numbers of "wound-
ed," ete say nothing of those who really
were hors de combat, and at Utaunoniiya,
a Red Cross hospital, under most efficient
management, was installed.
The French officer received, on the
whole, en excellent impression of the Jam,
anese army. In the event of invasion it
would, he thinks, defend its country with
tenacity and—to all appearances — with
success. The country, he points out, lends
itself admirably to guerrilla warfare, for
which the Japanese have a hereditary apti-
tude. II the war had to be carried into
another country fears of disagreement as
to tactics among the commanders might
well be entertained. But, although the
,Tapanese officers and times, when con-
fronted with unfamiliar tactics and an
unknown territory, may be inferior to
Europeaa soldiers, "they would in any
case, have little to fear from a Chinese
army or a Corean band." When these
conclusions were penned, it is interesting
to remember, war between China and
Japan was only a distant possibility.

amoineted to 1,811,800,000. But the rene of
increase for the year was lower bhau at any
date since 1883, being only 1,2 per cent.
The incre,ase for 892-93 was slighter better,
being 1.3 per cehb, but in the premdiug
year it was 3.6 per mon Still, down to
the latest date there is a well.maintained
gain reletively to the population, the nutn-
ber of letters per heed for the lest two
yeare being forby-soven, as against thirty-
seven nine years earlier. The postal
cards delivered last year were 248,500,000,
an increase of 1.6 per cent. But the great
increase was that of 7.3 per cent in
the eronp composed of book peckets,
circulars, and samples, the actual number
being 574,300,000, or very nearly 15 per
head of the population. Of newspapers the
number was 164,900,000, the increase being
1.3 per cent. Altogether there is a total
of 2,799,500, constituting an increase of 2.4
per cent. mid an average of 72.7 per head.
To this may be added above 54,000,000
parcels, with an increase for the year of 3.2
per cent. The grand total is the prodigi-
ous figure of 2,853,534,000, the increase be-
ing 2.4 per cent, and the average per head
a little over 74. Excepting the pareels,
about 85 per cent, of the delivery was in
England and Wales, 29 per cent. taking
place in the London postal district alone.
The large addition to the number of book
packets and circulars is attributed in a
great measure to the relaxation in the
conditions under which circulars, invoices,
and other communications of the kind are
allowed to pass through the post. Regis-
tered letters show a decline exceeding 3 per
cent. and registered parcels an advance of
nearly 11 per cent. • •
SIX Ivin,LToN Nor DISCOVERED..
TaKifitnber of letters dealt with other-
wise than by delivery exceeded 6,000,000,
and amongthese there were more than 500,-
000 which could neither be delivered nor
returned. About 34,000 'deers were post-
ed without any address, and of these as
many 0.8 2,000 contained cash, bills, or
checks, the total value being 24,000. Book
packets and circulars are much in default,
She number undelivered last year largely
exceeding 10,000,000, being an increase of
more than 1,000,000 following an increase
of 2,000,000 in the previous year. One
reason for this is thought to consist in the
alteration of the rules as to the charge for
redirection. Formerly all correspondence
was charged for redirection, unless the
second address was in the same delivery as
the first. At present, as a general rule,
all inland book packets are charged for re-
direction and letterware redirected free.
The result is that fewer letters and more
book packets are refused when redireoted.
Thus, it is mentioned that in the London
returned letter office alone, which dealt
with less than one-third of the total num-
ber of returned book packets in the
United Kingdom, over three-quarter of a
million of redirected book packetand cir-
culars were returned as " refused" during
the year. Thepostinaster-generel takes the
opportunity of observing that a certain
nunber of persons seem to imagine that if
envelopes are left unfastened letters may
be inclosed in thein and sent fora postage
ole half penny only. Itis pointed out
that the proper postage upon all written
letters which are not written on post-
cards is 1 penny, whether they be open
or closed, and that the letters posted con-
trary to this rule are liable to an additional
charge of double the defieient postage on
delivery. "
TRANSMITS £41,000,000 OF 'money.
Taking inland money orders and postal
orders together, it appears' that 'the
British public finds occasion to mad through
the post office by theee means, irrespective
of other mothOda, nearly 241.000,000 per
ELUDIIITI." In reply to representations that
it would be desirable to ciisp.ense with for-
malities connected with the use of a postal
order, the postmaster general says the pro-
posal does not commend itself to his judg-
ment. He considers the eresent regulations
such as should be readily attended to by
those who desire the security of th6ir prop-
erty.
The business of post -office savings banks
is making "steady growth." The total
amount due to depositors at the close of
1893 was £80,597,000, representing an in-
crease greater than thee, of the previous
year by inore than £500,000, The amount
of government stock held by depositors also
underwent a substantial addition. The aot
of 1893, extending the limits to which
deposits could be made in this bank, and
through in in government stock, has evi-
dently had a beneficial effect. The telegraph
service shows a deficit of £473,000 for the
last year after charging nearly 2300,000 as
the annual interest on capital expenditure.
The total postal receipts for the year
amounted to 210,472,000, an increase of
2128,000. But the expenditure was
27,738,000, being an increase of 2220,000.
Thus the net revenue was diminithed by
£92,000. TakMg the postal and telegraph
services together- there is an increase of
2175,000 in revenue and of £203,000 in
expenditure. Ths percentage of wages to
revenue for the coin bined serviees is hown
to have risen nom 35.4 in 1883 to 46.95 in
1893, Compered with expenditure, the
perCentage of wages has risen from 48.70
at the commencement of the period to
59,47 at -the clese. Bat under the head
of wages we must include salaries.

THE INDIAN ALARMS.
The Deport that the Indians in the Novtli-
West Were on the War1111111 18 Deleted.
• The story that the Indians norbh of
Battleford were on the warpath has been
explained. TWO or three non -treaty In -
diens demanded ammunition for hunting
purposes, and the wife of a settler—there
is always a woman in the ease—jumped at
once to the conclusion that the whites were
to be shot. Regretable it is that the report
went abroad. Our Indians are peacefully
inclined, and it is a mistake to represent
that a country for which settlers age re-
quired, is liable to be disturbed by hostile
demonstrations on the part of these original
occupants. The facts with regal.- eo the
Indians of the Canadian Nortn-IN est are
that they have been carefully attended
to, and that as a result they are moving
rapidly towards civilization. Their man-
agement has undoubtedly cost us a great
deal of money. The Mounted Poliee, which
has kept them in order, has been maintain-
ed ata total expense of 810,800,000 ; while
the payment of treaty -money and the fur-
nishing of supplies has cast upon us an•
for the past twenty years of fifteen mil-
lions more. Altogether it is safe to say that
TWENTY-FIVE MILLIONS
have been spent in preserving order and in
quieting the Indian trouble in Manitoba
and the territories. But nobody will
assume that we • have not value for the
money. The Indians were dangerous men
wheie we took possession of the laud.
Wanderers upon the face of the earth,
they were liable to turn up at any
moment, in any place, and in any mood.
There were two conrses open to us in deal-
ing with them. We could have assumed
an unfriendly attitude, in which event
there would have been a good deal of
shooting-- or, we could have placabed them
by attending to bheir material require-
ments. The latter policy was adopted.
Where they had a claim we bought them
out under treaties which require us to pay
stipulated sums annually to their chiefs
and smaller sums to the non -official class.
It addition, we provided reserves for them,
and voluntarily undertook to instruct them
in agriculture and to educate their child -
rem The arrangement, although expens-
ive, was much cheaper than war. But
what is more, it is based upon the Christ-
ian precept that we aliould do to others as
we would be done by. Twice since the
attempt to civilize was undertaken has
there been trouble. The first occasion
was when the Sioux, under Sitting
Bull, entered the territory, refugees from
the United State. The difficulties of that
period rendered our Indians somewhat
uneasy; but a strong policy appealing
directly to the appebite restored order.
No Indian can draw rations
• SAVE ON EIS neserevre
Immediately that this was understood
there was a return to the reservations, and
the, trouble was at an end. On the second
occasion the fifelibreeds, and not the In-
dians, were the cause of offence. Since
that time the Indians have been quiet and
orderly, and there is every reason to be-
lieve, owing largely to the feat that they
are becoming educated, and that they are
taking to the soil and are making a little
money on agriculture, that they well never
resott to anything in the shape of hostile.

FIGHTING BEGAN SATURDAY DIORXING.
By Friday night all the !Japanese were
in position for it combined attaok upon the
enemy. The Gensau column threatened
the left flank of the Chineee the Peng San
column threatening the Chinese, centre,
while the Hwang Ju column operated
against the right, which had been reinforc-
ed the day before by a detachment of
marines from the fleet at the mouth of the
Taitong River. The diinese had utilized
the old defences at Ping Yang, and had
thrown up new works, making the position
an exceptionally strong one. The battle
was opened on Saturday at daybreak by a
Japanese creenonade of the Chinese worke,
which was continued without cessation
until afternoon, the Chinese responding.
The work with the leadry- guns showed
good practice. At abou'l 2 o'clock a body
of infantry was thrown forward by the
Japanese and maintained a rifle fire upon
the enemy until dusk. Throughout the
day only the Peng San column was engaged.
The Chinese defences had suffered greatly,
but the losees on either side were small,
both the Chinese and ,Tapanese havieg the
advantage of considerable shelter. The
Japanese troops, however, had gained some
advanced positions. •
• SURROUNDED TELE YIGTAIL CITADEL.
The firing cmtinued at, intervals during
the night and in the meantime two Japanese
flanking columns had formed a cordon
around the Chinese. At 3 o'clock iu the
morning an °Meek was made by the Japan-
ese columns simultaneously mid with ad-
mirable precision. The Chinese lines, which
were so strong in front, were found to be
weak in the rear and here the attack was a
perfect success. The Chinese were com-
pletely taken by surprise and were thrown
into a panic. Hundreds were cub down
and those who escaped death, finding them-
selves eurrounded atevery point, broke and
fled. Some of Viceroy Li Hung Chang's
European drilled troops stood their ground
to the eastward itud were cat down to a
men.
16,000 OBINESE WILL PIGUT NO moan.
The Peng San column swarmingover the
defences in front, completed the rout. Half
an hour after the attack was opened the
positions at Ping Yang were in possession
of the Japanese. It is estimated that 20,-
000 Chinese soldiers were engaged in the
battle. The Japanese captured immense
stores of provisions, munitions of war and
hundreds of colors. The Chinese loss is
estimated at 16,000 killed. wounded and
taken prisoners. Among those captured
by the Japanese are several of the com-
manding officers, including General Tao
Fung, commander-ingibief of the Hanchur-
ian army, who was severeed wounded.
The Japanese loss is only 30 killed and
270 wounded, including' 11 officers. Most
of the casualties among the Japanese oc-
curred during the first day's fighting and
very few were tbe result of night attack.
