than might have been expected.
This great practical experiment
enables us to correct much wild
theorizing. We may safely affirm
that modern weapons have not
materially modified the conditions
OF naval war. II seems certain that
another blow is meditated by Cen
eral Kawakami, the Japanese Won
Moltke. The Chinese fleet il para
lyzed and Japanese are free to trans
port force in any direction. Two
principal courses are open to the
Japanese to strike direct at Peking
or to occupy FOrmosa. Either Of
these courses is more probable than
q march upon Moukden.
The Times says China's passive
resisting power, often extolled, has
certainly not been illustrated OF late
years. It seems certain that 25,OOO
Japanese could now occupy Peking
and obtain any terms they were
likely to demand. At the same
time the Times estimates the risk Of
a move on Peking at the approach
Of winter, and suggests that Japan's
better plan would be to occupy
Formosa with an expedition Of 30
600 men. Neither Russia nor France
would he likely to offer resistance TO
the occupation Of Formoss. The
climatic conditions Of that island are
better suited to the operations Of
the Japanese army than . winter
campaign in Manchuris.
A SERIOUS OUTLOOK.
Mail advices from China at Wash
ipgton cause Secretary Hsrbert's &C.
ton in sending . large naval force to
the China station to be regarded ~
wise. There are many indications
Of q purpose to close treaty ports,
which would be disastrous to foreign
commerce. II IL feared also that
crushing reverses to the Chinese
troops would cause the masses to
turn against Ii Hung Chang with
the pent-up hatred OF years. Great
disorder aud violence would be the
result, and foreigners in China would
be in extreme peril for both person
and property.
