sang Mr. Gilbert’s Mikado.
The punishments which Mutsuhito, the real Mikado, has fitted to the Czar’s crimes of seizing Port Arthur and Manchuria have been—
(1) The sinking or capture of every Russian man-of-war east of Suez.
(2) The siege and capture of Port Arthur.
(3) The defeats of The Yalu, Nan-shan, Telissu, Laio-Yang, The Sha-ho and Mukden.
(4) The expulsion of the Russians from Manchuria and Korea.
(5) The cession of half of the island of Sakhalin and indirectly
(6) Civil War and bankruptcy in Russia.
One little point of comparison between ourselves and the Japanese will make my meaning clear.
