FROM THE ORIENT. , UtMt Intelligence by the Steamer City •* Pekin—Japaa and the Protwtlag Power* —The Victor la the Late War Knew the Mature of the Nations She Had to Deal With, and Distrusted Them All-Terri-tory Acquired. 8 am Francisco, May 13.—The steamer City of Pekin arrived jester* day morning from the orient bringing Yokohama dates to April '2d. The United Press correspondent says: ‘’Japan is criticised because she did not ‘square’ beforehand. She must have known, it is alleged that her expansion would clash with Russian interests; that if the great bear’s paw was not to be extended, he must have a morsel to keep him quiet. Certainly Japan did know that. She knew that Germany’s friendship was of too selfish a character to stand any strain. Germany has never done anything for Japan without being paid. The history of her relations With the new oriental power has been a series of hard bargains. It was always plain to be seen that if stronger inducements were offered she would at any moment abandon an amicable attitude. As for France, her role in the orient has been invariably dictatorial rather than conciliatory. The position she now takes is perfectly consistent with her precedent Yet Japan did not attempt to placate these powers by previous arrangements. She learned the uselessness of such attempts. To satisfy one power is to give umbrage to another. “For a time it was industriously rumored that a secret understanding existed between her and Russia. Thereupon British suspicions were aroused and the English press clamored.

i-uc Area ui lerriwneji ceaeu uy China to J apan, namely: Liao Tung peninsula, Formosa and Pescadores. is 86,95® square miles, of which 16,100 square miles represent Liao Tung peninsula. Speaking approximately, Japan increases her dominion by 35 per cent., and her whole area becomes greater than that of the United Kingdom, Great Britain, Scotland and Ireland, and nearly equal to the, combined area of France and Spain. With regard to population, no accurate statistics are yet available, but it may *be assumed that Formosa has a population of J3,* 000,000, Pescadores a population of 6,000 and Liao Tung peninsula a population of 4,500,000. Thus th§ total population of the Japanese empire becomes 48,0^0,000,. which is greater than the population of France and Germany. “The customs receipts of Formosa are over 3,000,000 yen, and those at Vingkow, New Chwang, • about 1,000,000.” The Japan Mail says: “It is stated that half the indemnity to be paid by China will be borrowed from wealthy Americans through efforts of Mr. Foster, and the remaining half from two countries in Europe. “There was a rumor lately rife at Hai Cheng that Gen. Chang Tsi-Tung has presented an address to the throne, praying for the construction of a railway between Pekin and Hankow and removal of the capital from Pekin to Nankin.” ON DANGEROUS GROUND. Russia Still Monkeying With the Japanese Ban Saw. Berlin, May 18.—The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Frankfurter Zeitung telegraphs that reinforcements of Russian troops will shortly start for the far east in consequence of the persistence of Japan in the temporary occupation of Port Arthur, her rejection . of other concessions and her positive refusal to limit her naval and military forces. The Russian government entertains a suspicion that England has entered into an arrangement with Japan by which she will obtain possession of one of the Pesc adore islands.

When, the verdict was read he heaved a sigh., and remarked: "I am glad this monkey business in. over.’* Gov. Johnson and Doctors Bremerand Bauduy are of the opinion that-. Duestrow will not live to go through, the murder trial. Gov. Johnson^ though expecting a verdict of sanity„ was greatly worried. “That jury had its verdict last, week,” said he; “the result of popularprejudice.” » One of the experts for the defense* says that the loss of this ease is dne to. Gov. Johnson not heeding his experts** advice. Dr. Bremer said he had diag-. nosed the case as subacute hallucinatory paranoia, and the state was proving primary chronic paranoia. The fact remains, however, that Doctors. Simon, Chaddock and the Bauduys. swore to the chronic form, hence a row among the experts is expected. Asked if paranoia had not been tdttk asunder, Gov. Johnson said: “Oh, I don’t care about paranoia. My client is crazy.” Judge Hirzel set the murder case for trial July 26 at Union. Gov. Johnson is nettled at the loss of' his case, but says that Duestrow will, never hang. Insanity will be pleaded, as an excuse for the horrible slaughterof wife and child, and it will take a. month to try it. Johnson says he fears, that his client will kill himself, and wants a special watch upon him. ->
