With the First Japanese Army. Tien
8hi Tien, Manchuria.—(Special Cor
respondence of the Associated Press.)
—The lessons of the campaign are n
tex’ constantly before the eyes of the
military observers with this army.
They have made no revolutionary dis
coveries thus far; Indeed the chief les
sen has been the overshadowing Im
portance of that complete preparation
•which has made every cog of every
•wheel of the great machine slide quiet
ly into its groove at the proper minute,
and to details, for the lack of which
the servants of the czar are wasting
eo much brave food for powder.
The work of Russian artillery early
on the 31st of July commanded the
Sighest praise from every one. It was
a strong contrast with the showing
made at the Yaiu, and was in every
respect a credit to that army of Rus
sian service. Their gun positions were
selected by engineers who appreciated
the possibilities of the country ns they
had failed to do at the Yalu. .The
contour of the hills which push for
ward 'nto the valley on both sides of
Tar. Wan afforded a line of defense
which, speaking roughly, extended
nearly In a semicircle. Most of the
Russian guns looked down Into the
valley and also commanded the lower
ranges of the hill beyond It, where the
seven Japunese batteries must find
cover, while they presented to the en
crny uniy hk.viiih? uiiRrm unm uil iu
gauge. Consequently they gave the
Japanese artillery a hard day of It, and
compelled the batteries with the Jap
anese left division attempting to flank
the Russian right to shift their ground
repeatedly to avoid the fierce and ac
curate fire poured upon them. More
over, the bravery of the Russian gun
ners was beyond all praise.
Russians Have Better Guns.
Many- statements have appeared In
European newspapers about the su
periority of Japanese guns, but their
Work so far has Illustrated the western
Sphorlsm that "Success Is not In hold
ing a good hand, but in playing a poor
hand well.” It Is conceded by the ex
perts who have seen their work In the
field that the Russian guns are better
than the Japanese, and that the ratio
to insure equality should be about stx
Japanese guns against four Russian.
But the showing made by the Rus
sian infantry leaves much to be ex
plained. If their trenches had been
held by marksmen like the Boers there
would have been no question of the
Japanese reaching them without heavy
loss, If at all.
Yet the Russian defense was remark
ably weak, or only a demonstration,
because the Japanese of the central di
vision bit by their fire numbered only
a score or two. At Henllng, where
1,000 were cut to pieces and where, as
at Hamatan, they had a brass band
that left its Instruments on the field,
they gave one of the finest exhibitions
of futile bravery witnessed during the
war. They were marching in close col
umn of fours under a destructive fire,
and although men were cut down by
squads they never broke ranks nor re
treated.
The number of casualties among the
Russian officers, and particularly their
generals, while no Japanese generals
ave been hit. Is due largely to the
.different theories of generalship fol
lowed In the armies. The generals of
the Japanese are directors while the
Russians cling to the old Skobeloff
tradition of a commander at the head
Of his men leading the fighting. From
the Japanese lines we can see the white
coated Russian officers riding consplc
iously before their troops, while from
the Russian side It must be hard to
Slscover the Japanese officers, because
leir uniforms are so like those of the
ranks, and because General Kurokl and
the lesser generals are usually some
what behlryl the fighting line, manag
ing their battles by telegraph and tele
phone.
electricity a Japanese staple.
Probably electricity has never played
So great a part In warfare as It does
With the Japanese. Every general of
brigade In the field Is. like a modern
ambassador, "at the end of a wire"
rhlch hls divisional commander con
rols, and the generals of division are
n touch by telegraph or telephone with
he corps dbmmander. No evidences
las been seen as the army advanced
nto the neemy’s country that the Rus
Ilians employ the telegraph extensively.
The Russian generalship is more
Spectacular, and perhaps Inspires the
Soldiers with greater courage, but the
apanese Is more businesslike. The
icensorshlp which the generals enforce
tends to deprive them of their just dues
In reputation. General Okzuwu gath
ered hls troops In the fog of early
inorntng on the Fourth of July and
prevented the Russians from seizing
the Motlenllng. He turned Kellur’s al
most successful attack of the 17th Into
a disaster, and hls soldiers from the
rocks above the Yoshljlng shot down
1,000 Russians without any compensat
ing damage to themselves. He Is u
Strategist and a fighter. In England or
America he would be a popular hero,
but the newspapers which come to the
camp fall to mention him.
General Kuroki Is n quiet and unas
suming gentleman, rather of the Moltke
type thun the theatrical general who
rides about exhorting and cursing his
men. His type is apparently the pre
vailing one in the Japanese service.
Sometimes It appears ^that he has
worked out hls plan of buttle so per
fectly before -the event that he can
sit down confident of its fulfilment, and
takes little further Interest In the pro
ceedings. During the critical hours ol
July 31, when his Infantry was advanc
ing aefftss the valley to charge the
Russian entrenchments on the heights
he sat In the court yard of a Chinese
temple, chatting casually with mem
bers of hls staff. A court painter coulc
. have made no battle picture there.
Kuroki’s Silent Army.
General Kuroki's force partakes ol
bis character. It might be described a:
the silent army. The Russians have
their regimental bands, which play ai
sunset hours and on the march anc
- during the battle, and their soldiers ad
vance to the sound of the drum. But Ir
this campaign, although the Infantrj
carry bugles by whose notes thej
inarch In peace, I have never heard ih(
sound of a trumpet near the front. N<
war songs are sung. But music has in
pari in the soldiers’ dally life. Theli
enthusiasm is shown only In momenti
Of victory with that weird and stirrini
cheer, “Banzla," with which they
charge.
The nearest shop where a bottle of
sakl or beer can be bought la at Feng
Wang Cheng, fifty miles to the rear,
and that means that the officers get
very little and the soldiers none. Tea.
cigarettes and fans are the soldiers'
luxury; fishing, writing letters and
reading newspapers their amusements.
The greatest indulgence of the officers
Is the big Iron kettles carried In net
ting, two on a pony, which are used
for heating water for hot baths, as well
as jars to cook the company mess of
rice. A few squares of straw matting
to construct a bath house, a fire and
an Immense stone jar for a tub spell
comfort.
Fans for soldiers seem an anomaly,
particularly for soldiers so far removed
from suspicion of efficiency as the
Japanese. The fans and tea kettles
dangling from saddles and from sol
diers' packs have surprised some of the
conservative Kuropean attaches.
Another souvenir of home life which
the soldiers have brought Into Man
churia is a fishing line in every knap
sack. From the commanding general
down to the humblest coolie who trots
after his master’s horse they are dis
ciples of (he rod.
No description of the Japanese sol
dier wou'J be just which failed to
mention his courtesy and his honesty.
Living in the midst of the army, dis
playing many luxuries which must be
tempting to soldiers kept on a most
economical basis, the correspondents
leave their effects about the camps
without fear for the safety of them.
Nothing is stolen—not even tobacco or
food. The same thing could hardly bj
said of other soldiers.

A RUSSIAN PROPHESY.
Predicted Japanete Supremacy Nearly
One Hundred Years Ago.
New York Times: That the Japa
nese would bone day be rulers of the
ocean coast of Asia 1b the prediction
made almost a century ago In the book
of a Russian naval observer, whose
prophesy seems not unlikely of fulfill
ment at the present time. In 1811 Cap
tain Vasili Godwin of the Imperial
navy was instructed to cruise along
the coral archipelagoes of the Pacific
to ascertain which of these were In
habited by the Japanese, and accord
ingly he set sail from Odessa In the
Diana, arriving some two months later
oft the coast of Yezo. But one or two
copies of Captain Godwin’s book are
extant, one of them being in the library
of the winter palace at-St. Petersburg.
Published In 1815, "Captain God
win’s Captivity In Japan,” throws an
Interesting light upon the physical and
moral characteristics of the Japanese
nation at a time when little If anything,
definite was known by Europeans—
particularly In Russia—of the traits of
the Mongolian island people. Of the
observations contained in Captain
Godwin’s book, the following are of
current Interest: VI praise the Japa
nese for their skill. They will one day
be, probably, rulers of the ocean coast
cf Asia. And what can Russia do, be
ing so far away from this border?
Should the Japanese Introduce Eur
opean civilization and European politi
cal systems, the Chinese would be
obliged to do the same, and those two
people could then give Europe 'another
face.’ Happenings such ns the Chwos
tow raids (1792) would give suggestion
to them to build' European warships
and a small fleet could be raised to be
gin with. Marty European inventions
could be reproduced In Japan—and
without the brains of a Peter the Great
—simply by the combination of cir
cumstances and the natural advantages
of Japan.
wiiii European inoaeis,
Japan could build men of war very
easily and man them quickly with
brave soldiers. The population is quick
ly adaptable to naval requirements by
reason of the Insular position of the
country. The people comprehend easily
and given adequate Instruction, would
supplant Europeans as navigators.
“The Japanese lack only one quality;
namely, terrestial bravery; but their
deficiency in this respect is only be
cause of the peace loving character of
their government. After a very long
time they lose all capacity to shed
blood. I think an entire people not
timid, however, whose forefathers were
the terrors of the whole world."

THE VON MOLTKE OF
THE NEW JAPAN
Marshal Oyama Not the Sort ol
Man to Make an Ideal
Soldier.
FATE AND TRAINING DO IT
Taken From Mother When 4 Yean
Old and Trained for Army—Com
pelled to Go Barefoot in Win
ter to Toughen Him.
Kansas City Star: Iwawo Oyama
was born in 1841, a samurai or noble ol
the Kagoshima clan. From his earliest
Infancy he was brought up as a soldier.
At 4 years of age he was separated
from his mother and began to learn the
lessons of hardihood. He was never al
lowed to wince for pain or complain ol
hunger. He was compelled to go bare
foot In the snow In the winter to tough
en him. In wintry winds he wore but
the thinnest clothes to keep his skin
from being tender. His days were
spent In the practice of arms and
physical exercise; his nights In study
ing the bushldo, or old Japanese code
of honor, which taught the samurai
that life was nothing as compared with
the glory of his dalmlo or leader. Lit
tle Oyama was of sturdy stuff and
could stand the training which killed
many who are devoted to It.
At the age of 10 he had killed a bear
unaided, and the same year he took
part In his first battle with the retain
ers of a rival dalmic. Young Oyama at
this time was passionately devoted to
his cousin, the great Saigo, the head ol
the Satsuma clan.
After a period of the civil war in the
'60s, when the new regime was firmly
established, the young Oyama was sent
to France as military attache to study
the organization of modern armies, and
had the opportunity of observing mod
em warfare during the Franco-Ger
man conflict of 1870.
He remained abroad three years, and
on his return Rome tfa§ ap'pointed a
general in the imperial army.
At the outbreak of the Satsuma re
bellion, headed by his cousin Salgo,
and in which his own brother took a
leading part, Oyama found himself in
a painful dilemma; his loyalty to the
central government and to the person
of the emperor triumphed, however,
and he took the field against his clans
men, and as commander of the “flying
brigade” fought bravely and success
fully until Salgo’s fall.
During the ensuing ten years of re
construction, which Marquis Yamagata
devoted to establishing and perfecting
the standing army and to fortifying
the whole country, General Oyama was
his right hand man. Without him the
task could hardly have been accom
plised, for, after Saigo’s death, Oyama
had come to be regarded as the repre
sentative of the Satsuma clan and de
fender of their Interests, and he used
all his influence to secure the co-opera
tion of the still powerful Satsuma ele
ment.
To his credit it must be said that he
never took advantage of his position
to obtain political power. In the army
he has been steadily promoted, and he
has alternately with Yamagata, occu
pied all the important posts. Twice—
from 1885-90 and from 1891-92—he
has been minister or war. During the
war with China he was ordered to
Manchuria as commander in chief of
the second army. In 1895, at the end
of the war, the title of marqulr was
conferred on him, and in 1898 he was
made marshal and the following year
succeeded the late Prince Komatsu as
chief of the general staff.
Marshal Oyama is almost the only
one left of the older generals, as Mar
shal Yamagata’s health has not per
mitted of his taking an active part
in the present campaign.
There is a more terrible story told
of Oyama. When he went to fight with
the imperial forces against his cousin,
-Salgo, the rebel, he left behind him a
beautiful young bride. It was the cus
tom in those days—a custom now mod
ified—for a Japanese woman, and es
pecially a Japanese noble woman, to
fkeep herself in seclusion. This duty
■became more Imperative during her
husband's absence. She must not then,
except for the gravest reasons, go
abroad.
Many stories came to Oyama on the
battle field that his wife was disre
gardful of the custom of her caste. She
was bringing disgrace not only upon
herself but upon his name. She
smirched the bushido. Oyama heard
the stories but did nothing. He was
considered a sluggard, a Samurai, thus
to let his erring wife go unpunished.
At one time a chance of war brought
him near their home. It seemed a good
opportunity for him to pay it a visit.
He could leave camp and be back again
within twenty-four hours. But noth
ing could move him from his duty to
the emperor—not even his own dis
grace. He stayed in camp.
Finally the war was over, the rebels
were crushed, the imperial authority
was established—and then Oyama went
home. His wife met him at the door
In the way which from time immemor
ial faithful Japanese wives have met
their husbands on their return. She
Srostrated hereelf before him on the
ntel. The victorious soldier bade her
rise. Together they entered the house;
and from that day to this nobody has
ever seen or heard of her who was
Oyama’s first wife.
That was old Japan.
But Oyama now is of the new Jap
an—not only in public but in private
life. He has married again. His wife
is dressed always in European clothes,
and possessed to the fullest extent the
liberties which are enjoyed by the
women in most of the European coun
tries. The present Marchioness Oyama
was born Stenaz Yamakama. She,
too, was a noble, the daughter of a
dalmlo. She was born in IS59.
When she was 12 years old the gov
ernment suddenly decided to send
twenty young girls to the west to study.
Stenaz was one of those selected. She
was visiting her brother, a short dis
tance from her home, when the edict
reached her. She was given no choice
in the matter. She was not even per
mitted to go back to her own home,
but was taken from her brother’s house
and sent to America. She reached
New England, where she was given a
place in the home of the Rev. Dr. Leon
ard Bacon of the First Congregational
church of New Haven. Here she stayed
for eight years, and mastered the Eng
lish tongue. In 1879 she entered Vas
sar college, from which she graduated
in 1882. Her commencement oration
Policy Toward Japan.”
She returned to her native land and
shortly afterwards married Lieutenanl
General Oyama. From this marriage
there resulted three children, two boys
and one girl. The boys, as is natural
are to follow a military career.
Far from being a hard-eyed, shaggy
browed general, as one might Imagine
the hero of so many difficult campaigns
is the kindest, most amiable old gentle
man it would be possible to meet. H<
himself declares that he has no liklnt
whatever for war, and tha it is lronfr &
fate, not personal inclination, which
has made him the soldier he is today.
Like most of Japan’s great men, he is
not rich in this world’s goods. He Is
far too liberal to amass a fortune. It is
told of him during the Chinese war he
bought provisions for his men and
horses out of his own pocket rather
than pillage the wretched homes along
the route.
In fact, charity got to be such a
mania with him that his wife, an ex
tremely economical woman, had to act
as treasurer and dole out to him a
small allowance dally.
During his residence in Paris he was
often greatly upset by the way dumb
animals, particularly horses, were
abused. Once he got Into a dreadful
muss with a cabby and both had to be
marched oft to the police station.
Though the marshal could speak but
little French he stormed around the
terrified commissalre until justice was
given him. and saw the Jehu condemned
to a <20 fine. Japanese merchants in
Paris, as well as cabmen, remember
this active military attache, though in
quite a different way.
One day, sitting-In front of a cafe,
he noticed a Japanese offering some
beautiful fans at exceedingly low
prices, lower even than the same article
could be purchased in Japan. Beckon
ing the man to him, he asked how he
could do it. The other told him, owing
to long Illness, business had dropped
off. He was unable to pay the rent,
which would come due on the following
day, so he and his wife, rather than
lose all their stock, were selling what
articles they could smuggle out on the
streets of Paris. The attache had sev
eral important engagements on hand
that afternoon, but he postponed all and
hurried off with the unfortunate mer
chant. After thoroughly examining into
matters, he paid the rent, suggested
the man’s moving into a better quarter
of the capital, and during the rest of
his stay there did what he could to
work up a clientele among his friends.
From that day the merchant’s affairs
flourished and two years ago he died
worth a nice round sum. By his will
he left <20,000 of It to his benefactor.

RAILROAD IS DOOMED
Passing of This Spectacular Evi«
dence of Sioux City’s
Boom Days.
HISTORY OF STRUCTURE
How the Project Wes Financed and
Bonds Finally Framed for Souvenirs
or Burned—A Romantic
Story;
[Sioux City Tribune.]
Workmen who are now engaged in
tearing down t.'.e old Sioux
City elevated railroad structure
—the third of Its kind in the world
—are demolishing the chief evidence of
several fortunes expended in its con
struction and lost in its operation by a
syndicate of Sioux City boom promo
ters.
Incidentally these same workers are
making a lot of Morningsiders angry.
The latter liked the quick, safe run
over the railroad tracks made possible
by using the elevated, and they chafe
at the slow trip to the suburban homes
necessary when stops on each corner
are made and the railroad tracks are
crossed on surface lines But the Sioux
City Traction company is sure the ser
vice will eventually be bettered and the
running of parallel lines obviated.
Enterprising Sioux City men have
seen more than $200,000 of their money
disappear “via the elevated, ’ and the
King Iron Bridge company was con
sclous of the vanishing of something
like $200,000 worth of claims on the fa
mous structure.
Where the Project Started.
The first definite move toward the
construction of the elevated was taken
in the spring of 1888, when a meeting
in the back room of the Sioux National,
bank was held, attended by the follow
ing: A. S. Garretson, D. T. Hedges, Ed
Haakinson, Jarpes A. Jackson, A. M.
Jackson, James E. Booge, A. V. Lar
imer, E. C. Peters and Major John T.
Cheney. Later Charles Wise, W. E.
Higman and Colonel C. C. Orr became
interested in the project.
The Sioux City Jtapid Transit com
pany tfa§ orga'nized with a paid up cap
nai or jiao,uuu, ana Ji. i-. r-eiers was
elected Its first president. The pur
pose was to construct a railway to the
suburb of Morningside. In the summer
of 1888 the surface line from Leach
street to Morningside was constructed,
the work all being pair for by the
promoters of the system and using up
pretty much of the capital which had
been paid up. In 1S90 the elevated
structure from Leach to Jones streets
was built, the company issuing $290,000
of bonds to cover the expenses. The
contract for building the elevated was
let to the King Iron Bridge company
through its Iowa agent—who subse
quently lost his position for it—the con
tractors accepting $200,000 worth of the
bonds in pdrt payment for the work.
A Most Hopeful Opening.
The entire line was opened to the
public in 1891, the occasion being one of
importance and Inspiration. More than
600 persons, including the most promi
nent citizens of the city, were given
free rides over the system and the fu
ture of the line and of the suburbs
which it was designed to serve, was as
luminous as the glow of an Indian
summer sunset.
But these prospects could not be ne
gotiated with sufficient success to keep
the panic year of 1893 from fastening
Its crushing grip upon the system and
In that fateful period the Sioux City
Rapid Transit company passed into the
hands of a receiver, James A. Jackson,
one of the original promoters receiving
the appointment. Under the rule of
this receiver, the motive power of the
line was changed from steam to elec
tricity. This was hardly accomplished
when James A. Jackson died in 1893
and his. son, A. M. Jackson, was made
receiver In his stead. The latter man
aged the Jlne until *. arch, 1896, when
it was disposed of at i ceiver’s sale.
Bonds Used as Souvenirs.
A. B. Robbins of Minneapolis was
the purchaser, paying $70,000. He was
a railroad contractor and came into
possession of a $7,600 claim against the
elevated road through the failure of a
car company. To protect this claim he
bought the system. The King Iron
Bridge company bid $50,000 for the
property, hoping to make good the
$200,000 worth of bonds held by it. The
company, which had already been paid
about $50,000 by the Sioux City men
promoting the line, would not give
more than an equal sum for full owner
ship of the system. It is reported that
some of these bonds were mailed out by
the bridge company to their stockhold
ers as souvenirs, in lieu of a dividend,
and that the balance was burned.
There are still In evidence in safes of
certain Sioux City men something like
$75,000 worth of these handsomely lith
ographed relics. n
Mr. Robbins operated the elevated
line for two years, when it was pur
chased by A. M. Jackson of Sioux City
for $87,500, that being in February,'
1889. Mr. Jackson then organized the
Sioux City Transit company, himself
being the sole owner of the property.
Four months later the line was sold
by Mr. Jackson for $135,000 to J. S.
Lawrence, Abel Anderson and J. W.
DeC. O'Grady who consolidated It with
the other Sioux City lines under the
name of the Sioux City Traction com
pany.
Now Owned by the Packers.
The line has since passed into the
hands of the Swift-Armour interests.
The portion of the structure between
Jones and Iowa streets was torn down
two years ago and now the balance
of the long steel trestle will be re
moved.
A supplemental system was built on
the south end of the regular Morning
side line, by the Jacksons, running to
the handsome residence of Allen Cros
san, three miles south of Morningside,
This was subsequently torn up.

“ Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—Ignorance
and neglect are the cause of untold
female suffering, not only with the
laws of health but with the chance of a
cure. I did not heed the warnings of
headaches, organic pains, and general
weariness, until I was well nigh pros
trated. I knew I had to do something.
Happily I did the right thing. I took
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable /
Compound faithfully, according to
directions, and was rewarded in a few
weeks to find that my aches and pains
disappeared, and I again felt the glow
of health through my body. Since I
have been well 1 have been more care

my sick friends to take Lydia E.
Pmkham’s Vegetable Com
pound, and they have never had
reason to be sorry. Yours very truly,
