TNN.4P NlG:NINES] WAR • AN INTERESTING LETTER FROM AN AMERICAN WRITER, We Bear ltlora IboldaUle News otthe War Ala this Country Than is tb be llcar4 In China or .iapant—a'Ie Two Argues Conapareil A n interesting letter from Julian Ralph, on the Japanese-6111E1eso war, appeared in last Saturday's number of Harper'e Weekly All Europeans in the East, he says, get their news of the war from the English and American press, so thab we, in this coun- try, actually know more about it than they .clot, altttough..thsy aro en, the grouted. The reason 6f this is, that the Japanese officials fear a revolution if the terrible loss of life suffered in the, battle were made known. This is Japan's firth war. Her warriors used to battle hand to hand. Her people will nob understand such tremend- ous losses of life as modern warfare entails.

Unhappily for China, it eannot'be said that her army inspires either admiration or respect. The mandarins are such corrupt knaves that they have for years been keep- ing heavy lista' of salaried soldiers on paper, having only a few actual menti while they; drew and pooketed the salaries of the paper soldiers, Being ordered to produce their battalions, they have impressed a lot of coolies, put them into uniforms, and hurried thein to the seat of war. I mean to say that this is the case where I have looked into it, Ragtag and bobtail forces of this kind have been shipped from Shang- hai in large numbers. They wear Oriental uniforms, having turbans on their beads, and coats of . one color heavily bordered with another color. They march like Corey's army -all over the -grass and the. roads and the sidewalks, hallooing and jabbering and quarrelling as they go. They carry their muskets inany way that hap. pens, which is to Bey in every way that can e imagined.

In all these prints. the Japanese are riding over' the Chinese, or sinking their ships, or •belching red flames into the Chiuese ranks. . The more intelligent men are everywhere seen to be devouring the queer tissue -paper journals, covered with hiero- glyphs, which pass with them as newspa- pers. While I was there the cry of the gov- ernment for horses was loud in the land. Even the dray horses and omnibus horses in Tokyo had been impressed into the service. At Kobe the railway held by the government to be exclusively used for the transportation of troops to the ships that were to take them to Korea. Nearly all—a force of ' 150,000 men—had already gone, and the government was mainly using the railway for the carriage of the winter uniforms of the men. : This great force com- bines the standing army with the first re. serve force of 50,000 men, and is all that Japan expects to need for the march to Pe- king. In appearance and discipline TRE.,IAPANESE SOLDIERY compares favorably with the armed force of any European country, not excepting Germany. All the uniforms are European, and all the arras and accoutrements are of the latest fashion. 'The clothes of the soldiers fit them almost as if each man had his private tailor to make his suit for' him. The officers are in many oases positive dandies. Moreover, the marching and all that goes with discipline ere nearly perfect. It is a fine sight to see a Japanese brigade or battalion marching through the country. A very impressive thing is to hear them singing the new war -songs that their com- posers have written. The music of these' songs is sometimes classical Japanese, but it has been arranged in European measure for the military bands. You will sometimes MAN WITH AN IRON STOMACH. This Chap in Leipsic Has the Appetite or an Ostrich. Leipsic has a sensation just now in the person of Strazini, who has kept the medi- cal profession in a state of excitement ever since he made his appearance there. Strsz- ini astonishes his audiences by first eating a soup which consists of sawdust,plentifullY mixed with coal oil. The mess is set afire and after the flames have been extinguished. Strazini eats the peculiar mixture, ladling it out with a spoon, writes a Leipsic corre- spendent. He follows this up with biting piece after piece from the lamp chimney, crushing the glass between his teeth and swallowing it. He washes it downs with atittle water. For dessert he munches pieces of hard coal,peat, washing soap, tallow candles, pieces of plaster cast and bricks, boots, clay pipes, and seems to enjoy the conglomeration. All this is eaten at one meal and in quick sue. cession. A little' water is the ouly bever- age in which he indulges during that meal. Strazini asserts that he does not feel : the slightest discomfort from this unusual diet, and he certainly looks it, When he has finished his dinner of cetamics he pours. down two cups of coal oil, throws his head. back, and holds a lighted match to his mouth. There is a deep, puffingsound,and a flame, three feet long, leaps from his mouth. After eating, Strazini gives an exhibition of dancin , at wonderful as what has gone before. He does it with bare feet in a box fie filed with debris and shreds of champagne bottles, ram , w. , wino glasses, etc. Into this he diveo his feet, jumps about in all directions, and ends by burying his head in the broken glass. The strange part of it is that he Demes out without a scratch.

From the banners above their heads to the cumbrous shoes on their feet they are a tawdry, shabby,' dis- or3erlylot, a terror to whomsoever they pass on the roads, undisciplined, ignorant, ridiculous. To imagine them resisting a solid line of well-trained, well -armed sol- diers is like imagining the sun to be a pumpkin. I cannot see that the masses .here, are much excited over the war. I pointed to a placard of a mineral -water company on a wall of the Astor Rouse here in Shanghai, and asked a Chinese. boy if it was not Japanese. By way of reply he walked up to the placard, tore it down, and threw it on the floor. I walked away, and in half an hour, when I returned, he has hung it on the wall again. In the European city of Shanghai a stationer displays a map of Korea, and I notice that there is always a crowd of coolies in front of it, studying it. In the old Chinese city of Shanghai I have seen a vender selling, or trying to sell, Chinese colored prints about the war. He stands in a sort of cage fronted by thick wooden bars, and a great crowd of coolies stands every day and all day pressed up against the bars studying the extravagant prints. " Hai -yah :" is the most that they say, and that is merely what they would exclaim at. sight of a five -legged cat, or a wheelbarrow tip up and unload a passenger in the street. They do not seem to buy the prints though they are offered at only twenty Dash or two cents each, and they represent a fearful demolition of the Japanese. The Wo-Jin(dwarf slaves), as. the Emperor called the Japanese in his declaration of war, are seen to be wading ashore from their men-of-war, under a fearful blast of red fire from the Chinese forts. The dwarfs are also pictured as down on their knees in serried ranks, imploring mercy from the Chinese warriors —and yet nobody cares to buy them. The rich merchants and the officials who under- stand the situation, are reported to be very solicitous for the Chinese cause, and very downcast at this particular time. exaresaeil $ povewd, by its enormous sale that it ilr The best value for the Consumer of any soap in the market.
