From The ~SpectdtorJ.

If the recent disturbances, marked
Il ough they were by the assassina-
ton Of the King and Queen, in the
remote and little-known country of
Corea, were not likely to exercise an
important influence ON the progress
Of events in the Far East, they would
not require our notice. But as there
is good reason to believe that they
were the direct outcome Of previous
intrigues, and also that they will be
made the excuse for the direct inter
vention of the two countries most
interested in the mattor, it may be
instructive to describe this stage of a
not unimportant question. AS the
readers of the Spectator are aware, a
conflict of power between China and
Japan has long been in course Of
development and, although the hope
of a peaceful understanding has been
generally INDUCED, it has been
pointed out in these columns that a
collision is inevitable, unless the
Japanese waive some of their preten-
sions and curtail many of their
demands. Where the Chinese are
the principals concerned, events
move after a o tardy fashion than
suits u eager day; but the natural
result ensues all the more certainly,
because it has been approached by
well-regulated stages. The case Of
the long'growing quarrel between
China and Japan is very typical of
this truth. 1t has been thought that
the Government, which put up with,
insults in Formosa and Loo Choo
would be slow to resent an open in

mostly drive on the underlayer, and here it
is quite different from the formerly mention.
ed places, for here the stones protrude so
that a carriage is shaken from one side to
the other, even when the road is quite dry,
and in rainy weather the earth between
the stones turns to mud, by which the
stones become still more prOtruding, so
that the carriage is shaken still harder
from one side to the other, it being at the
same time difficult for the horses to keep
their ground on the stones. But from the
end of Carlton and nearly to Frederiksted
you drive the whole way on the under
layer, which is here in a much worse
condition, the stones prOtruding much
more. This, Mr.. Editor, is my expe-
rience concerning our main road. Other
roads | pass over so seldom that ] can
not say anything decided about them.
But they are likely to be worse than the
main road. AS for a comparison be-
tween Our roads as they are now aud III
former days | shall refer to the latter
part of the sixties, when myself and all
others found them to be generally III the NEST
excellent order. When we add that we have
had but little rain i'll the first Z months of
the year the difference be ween the present
and fOrme states of orr roads becomes
still more glaring. | therefore consider it
quite right that the author Of the article
in your issue No. 76, as well as on your
self, Mr.. Editor, in the same Number, has
drawn attention to the state Of our roads.
For now when the repairing of the roads
is at hand it is the proper time. to bring
forward the subject in order hat a thorough
repair may be brought about now, especial
ly as the different pieces of the roads are to
be divided for the next 3 years. | may
also remark, that the articles in your
No. rs have at least in one respect
had a good influence regarding our
main road. 1t has long been a gene
raj complaint from persons travelling
on the main road, that certain pieces, espe-
cially between KingshiIl and Christiansted
and more particularly outside of Straw
berry hill and Diamond, were encountered
by cocoa branches and shells both fresh
Il decaYod. But on Thursday on dIiy-
ing to Frederiksted | perceived carts re-
moving these membranes from the main
depot for same outside Of StraWberryhill,
and when | drove back IN the afternoon
this piece was cleared. Judging from the
carts | give the honor for this to the recent
~ appointed acting Upper Inspector Of
the roads and | am sure that he viii do
what he can in order to bring cur roads
to their former good state.

the conclusion of the commercial
treaty. simultaneously with this step,
measures were taken, by increasing
the garrison at Faishan, and by fire.
quently despatching men-of-war to
the coast, to bring home to the
minds of the Coreans a proper sense
Of the naval and military power of
Japan, this line of proceeding did not
fail to produce some result, in the
course of time; and the Coreans, seem
ingly deserted by China, were COM
PEELED to put on an appearance Of
subservience to their more vigorous
and enterprising neighbours. During
the five years previous to 1881, the
Japanese were steadily and cOnsis-
tently strengthening their position in
Corea. Not only were Corean Am
bassadors sent to Toxic, where they
were very favourably received, but
the japanese party began to assume
a definite position in the domestic
politics of Seoul. Two years ago, it
became evident that the Chinese were
watchtul, and not Indifferent to the
progress of these events %whereupon
a reaction at once set i'll, and during
the disturbances hat ensued, the ex-
Corean envoy to Japan met with a
violent death. Although ostensibly
bafled by a revulsion in the opinion of
the people or the Court, those pledged
to the Japanese alliance did not des-
pair Of the final result, and they have
since %striven to regain the ground they
had lost. The murder of the King
and Queen, who were known ito be
attached to the cause of China, APP
pears to have been the summary
proceeding to which they have had
recourse. 1t would not have been
possible for them to have dealt this
vigorous blow, but for certain cir
cumstances which must be briefly
described. Some time ago, tie Chi
nese Minister, Ii Hung Chang, mott
fed to the Corean authorities that
the Wisest course for them to pursue
would be to establish commercial and
diplomatic relations with the Great
Powers of Europe, and particularly
with England, who would he sure to
stand by them, and see justice done.
Not only did he proffor this excel
lent and welI-meant advice, but he
absolutely took upon himself the
task of drawing up the terms of this
treaty, in consultation with the Resi-
dent Ministers at Pekin. Undoubt-
edly, the leaders of he Japanese sym
pathisers awaited themselves of the
Conservative tendencies of the peo-
pie, and, representing this step as an
unw~arrantable concession to external
influences, succeeded in raising a dis
turbance, during which the King
and his c0nsort were slain. The
Chinese Government, against whom
this outrage was most directly levell-
ed, has ordered war-ships and troops
to the Corean coast, and it will be
curious to see what the japanese
will do, now that their policy Of irri-
tation has at length reused the Chi
nese into action.
There are some persons who de-
clare that the Corean difficulty will
call other Powers into the field be-
sides the two Eaatarn coun+rios I'M
, 1882-10-04

thelr dow until they could do so
with the greatest possible effect.
The chances of war, always uncer-
tain, are unquestionably more favour
nble to China in q wal on land han
in one ut sea and the Corean ques-
ton has now reached such a pass, that
the outbreak of hostilities between
[ hina and Japan is one of the most
likely events to happen within the
next few weeks.
Little as we know Of Corea, we
know two facts in connection with it
which explain the present situation.
Corea is, and has been from remote
antiquity, the vassal of China and it
has been for three centuries the IA
vourite play g~oundforthe intriguoand
military enterprise Of the japanese.
Needless to say, then, that as it has
been in the past the scene of hostile
encounters in the field, so in the pre-
sent has it proved the arena wherein
the diplomacy Of the two nations has
engaged in a contest of cross-purpos-
es' 1t so happened that both China
aRd Japan recovered about the same
year from a long succession of depress-
ing events, and when both countries
had put down all causes of internal
dlsqulet, they found the opportunity
to turn to the consideration of their
mutual relations the attention that
had been employed elsewhere. The
Japanese, endowed with greater
youthful energy than their neigh
bours, assumed a more aggressive
part; and asserting themselves in
Formosa and absorbing Loo Choo,
claimed a paramount position in Chi
nese waters, To have retained this
supremacy, it was necessary only
that the forbearance or sense of
weakness of the Chinese should con-
tinue. That the Chinese were nei-
ther very forbearing nor very much
impressed with a sense of their weak
ness, were facts that the friends Of
Japan were not called upon to rocog-
MISE, although in attaining an ultimate
settlement of Tie question they could
not be denied their duo weight. The
start gained by the Japanese in col
lectjng an ironclad fleet enabled them
to carry things for a time with a high
hand but now that the balance of
naval power has been transferred to
China, they must be prepared to sub
NIT to the consequences of their pre-
vi0us conduct, And in this lies the
true danger and significance of the
present crisis. The Chinese have
neither forgotten nor condoned the
smallest offence on the part of their
irrepressibIe neighbours and in
their eyes the bill of Indictment has
long been heavy.
But it was in Corea, of all places,
that Japanese diplomacy aattered
itself that it might obtain a definite
and considerable reward, while in
that very quarter the danger to Pc
kin seemed to quit the region Of SEN
timent for that of practical reality.
The policy of the Chinese Govern
ment has been from time immemo-
rial to allow the greatest latitude
to its vassaIs and tributaries, so
long as the nominal ties between
them and the Empire are maintain
