Tns JAPAN ExPEplrloN.-W We learn
from the correspondence OF the Journal
Of Commerce, T. at there is much doubt
whether the contemplated expedition
can ever be got ready Tor Japan, or tor
any other destination. Many things
may happen before next May, to render
II polite to reslan our triting naval
lorce within reach. if not to augment it,
The expedition cannot possibly be got
of ill mex, May or June, and the next
administration may not approve OF the
policy that has. Suggested it. The Lon
don Times is concerned at the United
States in sending off so large detach-
ment OF lis small navy TO Japan, at n
time when It's relations with European
powers are so unsettled and insecure. IL
is certainly very generous in the Times
to give US this caution.
