DIPLOMATIC IMBROGLIO.

The movements of Russia along the
Eastern seaboard of the Asiatic con-
tinent are well worth watching, for
Russia promises to be the mightiest
factor in the Northwestern Pacific
within few year. The completion
of the Siberian Railway and its future
extension through China clear down
to the French possessions in the Indu-
Chinese Peninsular will give her both
a commercial and military command
that will put her in the foremost posi-
ton for debating terms in this ocean.
The completion of the railway and
its southern extension is yet some
years off, but the willy Muscovite is
pushing his influence southwark. No
one can imagine that Corea of her own
volition desires Russian soldiers to
form the nucleus of her army, as re-
ported in the last dispatches from the
Orient. The sheep might as well in
vite the wolves to become their pro-
tectors But Russian emissaries have
been at work and their labors have
brought about this result. There will
be some little diplomatic fencing in
consequence.
The Russo-Japanese Treaty of last
year. which was signed by Prince
Lahanoff and Marquis Yamagata, pro-
vided that "the Governments of Japan
Corea herself, as far as the financial
and economic condition of that coun-
try allow the organization and main
tenance of the Corean Army and Po-
lice, consisting of natives sufficient to
maintain order in Corea without re-
lying on foreign assistance" IT is
also agreed that should any of the
provisions require to be defined more
accurately and infinitely, or should
any question requiring mutual con-
sultation arise in the future, repre-
Sentatives of the two Governments
shall be accredited to confer in a
friendly manner"
Now, the employment of Russian
soldiers by Corea would necessitate,
according to the above Treaty, that
the matter should be laid by Russia
before Japan. As such has not been
done, it may be fairly surmised that
Russian has her own reasons for hav-
ing put up Corea to an act which is
evidently a defiance of the agreement
and which aims at asserting Corean
independence of Japan.
Naturally, the Japanese are some
what perturbed over the matter There
will have to be double explanation.
one from the Corean Government, and
one from that of Russia. The Japan
csc dIplomatists are willy, but they
are not likely to be wilier than the
servants of the Car. If Russia has
made up her mind to drill Coreans ac-
cording to Russian methods and thus
prepare an Army in the Peninsula of
the Morning Calm, she will do so,
and yet give the japanese to under
stand that her objects are purely phil
anthropic. Meantime, the Hawaiian
question does not appear to be such
a burning one to the Japanese as it
did few weeks ago. Corean matters
are far more important, so the dis
cussion upon the merits and dement's
of the action of the Hawaiian Govern
ment is likely now to go on calmly
without popular hue and cry to
drive it on.

The meeting together of the Press
of Honolulu to extend friendly greet
ing to their Japanese brethren, marks
an era in the history of the journalism
of these islands. Each member of the
Press undertakes to carry on special
public policy; but well conducted and
impersonal journalism allows of of a
war of wits and free and even heated
discussion of principles and ac-
lions which need not be carried into
private life. At the dining table the
journalists meet as men having a
common bond of work Though the
members of the Press of Honolulu oc-
cupy but small corner of the world,
yet they feel that they belong to that
great army of writer's whose thoughts
and expressions sway the minds of a
whole globe.

THE BRADLEY MARTIN BALL

THE BRADLEY MARTIN BALL.
Rev. D.. RaiGsford's warning to the
rich against ostentatious display at this
time will make Mrs. Bradley Martin IS
mask ball the gayer, the moro bril-
liant. At a fashionable dinner party
last Saturday night the talk, naturally,
was OF DR.. Raiusford's position. Need
less to say, those around that gay
board did not agree with the preacher.
Mrs. Bradley Martin was Que of them.
After this advertisement" she said,
laughingly, 81 fear | will have to spend
a great deal more money than intend
ed Now the ball must be a success.
Even those who are Inclined to find
fault with it must be satisfied"
1t is interesting to know that this
distinguished company will meet with
the sanction of the police and be under
police protection.

public masked or in "outlandish"

A dispatch from New York says
The fancy dress ball to be given by MIR.
and Mrs. Bradley Martin, at the Wal
dorf, New York, on February 10, is the
talk of he city The costumes aret) be
strictly historical and reproductions OF
those of the six eenth, seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries.
OF course, no fictitious characters will
be allowed, which bars out any of the
heroes and heroines of popular novels
and poems. 1t has been stated That
Mrs. Bradley Martin issued her invita-
lions on short notice, through patriot
ism and desire that her guests should
have their costumes made in New
York.
AT first it was intended that he ball
would be opened by several costume
quadriles, just as the dances were ar
ranged in 1883 at the great Vanderbilt
ball Each sgt was to represent his
torical epoch, and among the fashion
able women selected to dance were :
Mrs. John Jacob Astor, Mrs. Ogden
Mills, Mrs. Starr Miller, Mrs. Henry
Sloane, Mrs. V. r. Cruger, Mrs. Luther
Kountze, Mrs. Suffern Taller, Mrs. Ed
mund Baylies, Mrs. 0. H. p. Belmont,
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, jr, Mrs.
Herman Oelrchs, Mrs Post, Miss Van
Allen, Miss Townsend, Mrs Frederic
Bronson, Mrs. James p. Kernochan and
Mrs Burke Roche.
The costumes, male or female, except
perhaps those Of the Ouch regime and
the Puritans and the Oliver Crom well
dynasty, vii! each cost from $500 to
$1,000. One thousand invitations have
been issued, and the list will swell a
100 or SO more, so an adequate idea o!
the cost alone Of the costumes can be
estimated.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bradley Martin have
achieved their social prominence
through succession of magnificent
entertainments. dinners, musicals and
one cotlion dinner, which was the
most gorgeous entertainment of the
winter of 1890. 1t took place at Del
monico's. There were $50 guests at
dinner, which was served in the ball
room which afterwsrd was cleared for
the dance. The favors in the cotillon
and the flowers alone are said to have
cost over $500 Mr.. and Mrs. Martin,
at series of dinner parties given by
themlat their home in west Twentieth
street two years ago, had for the enter
tsinment of their guests Nine. Emma
Eames, Mile Marie Van Iandt and M.
