Mr- Fisher's ability shown during his residence in the Orient to handle difficult places to the satisfaction of the government is responsible for his promotion to the important place in Manchuria, Harbin will be remembered as the location of one of the greatest battles fought by the Japanese against the army of the Russian general Kuropatkln during the late Qusso-Japanese war, The Electrlo Railway.
