sArA~s5 ImronrAsr SUCCESS.

The war in Asia has begun with the win
ming Of two brilliant naval victories by the
Japanese. Among the results OF the first
was the siAking5 Of troop ship laden with
soldiers and the disabling of q protected
cruiser. In the second, one of the most
powerful ban1eships Of the Chinese navy
was sunk and two protected cruisers were
either sunk or captured by the Japanese.
These battles are more important than
is at once apparent While full details are
not yet at hand and Il is impossible to
form Judgment based upon the relative
strength of the vessels engaged. il is safe
to conclude that the Japanese vessels are
better handled than those Of the Chinese.
and that the FIRE of their guns Is delivered
with greater precision and consequently
with greater effect. Admitting this, it
follows almost as matter of course that
the japanese viii control the sea, and this
will give them tremendous advantage in
the war.
OF course, ell talk of either China or
Japan placing In the field armies of one.
two or three mzliion men is absurd. Both
nations could probably raise large armies
without great difficulty, and China IN
questionably has vast population from
which fighting material could be made
almost without limit. but neither nation
could sustain very large army in so poor
and unproductlve a country as Korea
Their transportation and commissafy de-
partments ars not sufficiently we'll organ
lied to enable them to do so. If China
should throw q million men into Korea it
is altogether probable that the army
would be disorganized by hunger within a
month.
Any army operating In Korea, either
Chinese or Japanese. must rely for its sup
plies upon the home country. The only
line of communications which Japanese
practicable line which Chinese
army could hare is by sea also, for
toe overland route from Korea to
China is through a rough and
mountainous country. To maintain
through such q country for such dis
lance, with Asiatic methods of Transports
ton, line of supplies for million, or for
half or quarter million men, wonld be
en- absolute impossibility. If China is
whipped off the sea. all hope of maintain
ing large Chinese army in Korea must
necessarily be abandoned.
If the Japanese. on the other hand, are
able to retain control of the sea they can
supply an army in Korea without great
difficulty. They can hold the peninsula and
can prevent any invasion of Japan. To do
this means 20 be victor in the war, which
will be decided by the relative strength
aud efficiency of the nsvies rather than
by the enormous preponderance of one
country over the other in population and
in crude and unorganized fighting ma
terial.
The importance OF the naval victories
won by the japanese cannot. therefore,
easily be overestimatsd

CURED the frenzied hatred of secret,

eiples open threats had been made against
his life, and the entire community under

origin of these threats and warnings"
Under the cover of darkness he has been
enticed from his home. and the evidence
is strong that he was murdered. There is
hardly chance in o thousand that he is

such threats, and who operate in the dark

operated, would hardly stop short OF muir

Their place is on the scaffold. and justice

Good words for MT. DooiIttIs.

There Is likely to be struggle for con-
gressional honors this fall The campaign
may be said to have already started. and
several papers have mentioned the names
of candidates for the position. 1t is to be
hoped, however. that none of these aspir-
ants have set their hopes on taking Mr..
Doolittle's place, as he will assuredly be
reelected. Mr.. Doolittle has made good
his promise of being statesman which
places him far above petty clique. When
we have a good man il would he the worst
kind Of folly to make any change, and the
people of this state know they have a
strong man in office. 1t is seldom found
in the annals of eongressdom that rep
resentative has in one session made q
strong position for himself in that body.
This. however, Mr.. DooIittle has done.

the WAR BETWEEN JAPAN AND
CHINA.

Its highly creditable TO the Japanese
that in their FIRST naval battle with China
they have won the victory through SUI
perior skill in the handling Of their ships,
which are constructed and armed after
European models and methods. The
Chinese have always shown remarkable
Initiative abilities In the matter of con-
structing European guns and ammunition,
but they have lacked in power OF exeeu-
ton, so that the success of the japanese In
their first naval fight would indicate that
the Japanese are a quicker race. or else
that the adoption OF European methods OF
naval warfare has bean made with more
thoroughness and completeness in Japan
than In China.
Japan has sincerely strivea to European
ize its civilization, while China has not yet
consented to do so. China is stu governed

but they are determined. as self-respect-
ing nation, to uphold their treaty rights
under the convention of 1885, made at
1ientsin. Japan demanded In 1856 the
same right which had been asserted by
China, Of intsrposing in Korea. when riot
or instruction endangered the lives or
property Of foreigners. That right was
conceded by the Tisntsin convention,
which provided that either of the parties

tranquility of Korea was disturbed, send
troops thither for the purpose of protect
Ing its subjects and restoring order. the
sole condition being that notice of the in
tention to despatch soldiers should be
given 10 the co-signatory power.
Soon after the outbreak of the present
rebellion, China dispatched q body of
soldiers to the Korean peninsula. but it
was not until the troops were actually on
the way that the Psking government noti-
fed japan that IL had determined to rem

They had made a mistake in the date

The mistake was evidently Sthe girls.
