AN EXCHANGE OF RINGS.
Plans to Hasten the Marriage of the
CZarewitch and Princess.

LONDON, Oct. pa dispatch to the
Times from ST. Petersburg says that ac-
cording to the best information obtain
able there will be formal betrothal and
exchange of rings between the CZarewitch
and Princess Alix at Livsdia on Wednes-
day, perhaps s0onar, according to circum-
stances. This presupposes the perform
ance of the ceremony of reconciliation to
the orthodox church, which. in the usual
course, must take place. The marriage of
a foreign princess to a Russian heir ap-
parent necessitates three distinct cere-
monies reconciliation to the orthodox

AN ARMlsTICE iMPRACTICABLE.
Japan Must Push Her Victories to a
Speedy Termination.

YOKOHAMA, Sept. 80 News of the
recent engagements, both afoat and
ashore, have evidently produced a pro-
found impression in Europe. and if, as is
possible, the sensational fiction that Il, 500
Chinese prisoners were taken at Ping Yang
was also telegraphed, the feeling in Europe
is readily explicable. That this sh hould
have led the British and Russian Ministers
to redouble their efforts to bring TO an
early termination a war whose prolonga-
ton cannot but be disastrous is Perfectly
natural. Ii hung Chang, on his part, is
eager TO conclude an armistce, but to this
proposition Japan returns a very prompt
and very decided refusal. Very little con-
sideration is necessary to agree that Japan
is right. All are not convinced that Japan
was justified In entering upon this war,
and her aims as now expounded by states
men who have thrown off the mask do
not convert any to belief in the righteous
ness of her first Intentions.
Es But she is in this quarrel and to emerge
from it successfully it behooves her to put
forth her utmost energies. Her principal
advantages lie in the superior training of
her troops and the perfection of her
preparations. If she will exercise these
to the limit of their usefulness she must
strike swiftly and decisivsly. An armis-
tice effects nothing. In truth it would
bat pave the wav for repetition of those
tactics which 300 years ago enabled China
to crush her agile but diminutive op-
ponent.
1t would give to China an opportunity
for delay, and every moment of delay
would mean the development of her re-
sources. the acquiring of munitions of war
and the enrolment Of troops. Chiefly il
would await the winter and thus the effects
Of the brilliant victory at Ping Yang and
the stubborn fight in the Yellow Sea would
be rendered nugatorY.
e Moreover the enthusiasm of the Japan
ese is now at concert pitch. Ii long in
tervai of delay occurs and hostillties are
renewed at the end of several months it
is very likely that the ardor will have
cooled, the pinch of poverty through the
destruction Of industries will commence
to make itself felt and the soldiers con-
demned to forced inactiOD in Korea will
nave become stiffened of their wounds or
dlsgusled at the tedium of camplfe in
winter. All these things 90 to show that
mere armistice would be distinctly disad-
vantageous 10 Japan at the moment and
very greatly In favor of China.
