WASHINGTON. d. c., August 16.-The
fact that the situation of the China
Japan affair is considered sufficiently
grave to require the augmentation of
our naval force IN the China sea is made
evident by Secretary Herbert's order
requiring the Charleston to start for
the scene of hostilities as soon as pos
possible. The Charleston is now at

A course of lectures at the Royal

smoking has long been known to be

truth of this observation. Woman,
says the Photo News, has always been
credited with better appreciation of
color than man, and she may now
take warning against any temptation
to indulge in nicotine, either fret

second hand, in the use of railway

THE sympathy of the civilized
world is with Japan-that is, such
portions of the civilized world as
may not be anxious to make off with
the bone Of contention while the two
countries are fighting. In such a
case sympathy for either OF the com
|batants will be crowded out by more
pressing emotions. Japan is little,
but she is alive. She is the most
progressive among the Oriental ma
tions, while China is a lethargic
mass Of repellent barbarlsm. The
one represents capacity and willing
ness to advance; the other dead bulk,
chained to the past. 1t is impossible
not to wish the better luck to the
japanese, who are universally liked.
