Ing from speech made in the United
States Senate In 1852 by the late Sena-
tor VIM. II. Seward, which, in view of
recent events IN the Orient, now up
pears in the light of n prophecy:
"Hencoforth European commerce.
European politics, European thought,
and European activity, although nc
tunily gaining force. and European
connections, although actually becom
ing moro intimate, will nevertheless
relatively sink In importance; while tue
Pacific Ocean, it's shores, its islands.
and the vast region beyond, will be.
como tho chief theatre OF events in the

L lie student of current events cannot
fail to recognize the fact that the war
now going on between China and Japan
will revolutioni2e commerce in the
East, and it is equally plain that Euro.
pean powers in Oriental Affairs will NOT
hereafter bo so potent as in former
years. With Cuba free, which sooner
or later must come. and the unification

the further consolidation of the Central
American countries, the prophecy will
be fulfilled.
