rection Isaacson was known to have
taken when he went on his Ill-fated

RUSSIA IS PREPARING TO
FIGRI JAPAN ONCE IRE
VICTORIA, B. C. Oct 17? Prophe
sies of a second war between Japan
and Russia are made by the Hochl
Shimbun, under the heading, "Super
ficial Peace." The Tokio newspaper
brought by the Empress of India to
day, commenting on an interview with
B. Sasaki, a member of the Japanese
parliament, returned from Siberia and
Manchuria says: "In view of the fact
that no small sacrifices have been
made for completing the military pre-|
paiations in Harbin and Vladivostock, i
and that a strict and suspicious watch
is being kept on the actions of Jap
anese, it will be quite obvious that
the Russians are thinking of a war of
revenge. Vladivostock is being ex
tensively fortified, and only a small
part opened for trade. Of the 100,000
inhabitants, 00,000 are soldiers. Now
that the right to construct the Kirin
Holryong railway has been secured,
Japan should turn her exertions to
competition with Russia in Kirin and
Mongolia, and checkmate Russia seek
ing an outlet on the sea of Japan."
