Russia’s Bitterness Toward Japan. An incident wliich sufficiently illustrates the bad feeling with which Russia has regarded the success of Japan, and which may be taken in connection with the talk concerning further action in the far East, is tliat mentioned in th® Issue of the Japan Weekly Mail, just to hand." When the Jananese Plenipotentiary arrived to ratify tire treaty with the Chinese Envoys at Chefoo there were eleven Russian vessels in the harbor, in addition to two German ships and one French. Then ensued an extraordinary demonstration. The Russians uncovered their guns, removed the tampions, ran down their topmasts, and cleared their decks for action. In this they were followed by the German commanders. This display was an unmistakable demonstration against the exchange of ratifications. Strangely enough the French vessel took no part In it. The result of this Insolent hostility was tliat the American and English Captains in the harbor boarded the Japanese vessel to pay visits of friendly courtesy. No. doubt there Is not so much, eagerness outlie part of Germany to play lap-dog to the Russians as there was at the time we mention, but the bitter feeling of Russia will, we are afraid, be in no way minimized by recent events.
