That which Was foreseen, expected, and Inevitable has occurred. The Man-churians, Man-churians, encouraged by. the successes of the Japanese, have risen In revolt against the Russians. Severe fighting Is reported In attacks by "brigands" on Russian guards stationed along the railroad. We may expect to hear a good deal of this sort of thing from riow on, especially with further Japanese successes. Tho Manchus are a fighting race; they are put In the most humiliating humili-ating position that fighting men could possibly be placed, by the obligation of neutrality Which their sovereign (theirs Is the reigning dynasty of China) has placed upon them. It is not possible that they should be able to restrain thems'clves from taking up arms against tho Russian Intruder' and ' despot, when the Japanese como into tho province to do exactly what the Manchus themselves want done. With every Japanese success, the ability of Russia to keep down the Manchus will be more and more impracticable.
