Gcan, who is unable to govern the great island
that blocks the entrance to our Gulf of Mexico,
and equally unable to give it up-the German
speaking peoples agitated by new Protestant
ism, separating from the See of Rome on the
dogma of papal lntallibilty and assuming to
recognize the '.Old Ca,holics''-the whole Con-

comes of the conflict between old ideas, phlo-

Of Physical Science-Russia and Great Britain
running a race for the final gains that shall
determine Asiaiic supremacy-China seeming
ready to abandon her advances and reciose her
half opened gaies-Japan aholishing feudalism

empire are phases of the news from abroad
which the mails over all Continents and the
wires under all Seas are daily bearing to us.
With able and trusted Correspondents in the
leading capitals. and wherever great changes are
in progress, The Tribune aims, at whatever
cost, TO lay before its readers the most prompt
complete, and popular presentment of these
diverse and conflicting mOvements--1hrough al

a whole people thus united on the grand plat

peacefully, hopefully, to the less alarming b,
