AFFAIRS IN THE ORIENT.

Since the termination of the late war
between China and Japan. Russia and
Germany are looming up as commercial
rivals OF england in the far East. The
victory OF Japan oyer China has excited
the desire Of the two European emparors
to wrest from England portion Of the
Chinese trade. Germany has recently
acquired possession of Kaou Chao, and
Russia wants Port Arthur, which COM
mands the way to Pekin, the capital Of
the Chinese empire. This is the most
important strategic position in the ORR
eHt and Russia intends to make it the
terminus of the railway which previous
ly was to terminate at Vladivostock In
case OF war Russia will use it for mill
tary purposes. England, Of course, does
not ike this arrangement and wants to
retain her commercial supremacy, her
trade with China amounting to $3.50 0OO,-
O0O year. But what can she do? Rus
STA and Germany have outmanoeuvred
her and France is coming to the front
for trade facilities with China. In all
probability partition of China among
these three European powers will soon
take place. and that will be crushing
blow to England, for the Chinese ports
would be closed to English trade The
question is what is England going to do
to preserve the integrity of China and
maintain her commercial prestige? She
certainly will not yield her advantages
without struggle. She has tremend-
Gus navy, and her position in Chinese
waters is very strong. She has Japan as
an ally. 1t has always been her aim
to equal in ships and armament any pos
slble combination that could be gotten
together to oppose her policy in any part
OF the world. and as she has anticipated
trouble in the East she has a large fleet
IN oriental waters. The Chinese squad
ron is powerful, and it will soon be &C.
Enforced by a number OF vessels of the
llrst-class. The other countries, how
ever. are rapidly making additions to
their naval forces. Great Britain has 632
ships of wal, 80 of which are modern
trst-class hattleships. She has 157 cruis-
ers, ard 80 tcrpedoHgun vessels CT mod
ern build, besides ,95 torpedo boat de-
stroycrs, all OF recent construction. Her
navy is divided intotwelve divisions and
is scattered all cover the earth. Last
year there were in the British navy So
100 officers, seamen.n boys, coast guards,
and royal marines!r The British .tars"
are undoubtedly good fighters. If a war
occurs in Chinese waters between Rus
STA, Germany and France, on the one
side and Japan and England on the
other, it will be the,greatest naval strug-
gle that the world has ever witnessed.
From all Indications a war between the
European powers u.s. near at hand, and
1t will occur over the partition of China.

PATR.CK's DAY PARADES.

The Irish in and about New York city
celebrated Patrick's day this year in a
unique manner. The military and menu
bers of bands paraded en- foot while the
societies rode in carriages. The Sun
thinks that the innovation is a sign of
improvement in the condition of the
Irish people, and says that natives of
Ireland no longer constitute the larger
portion CT the "unskilled'; labor of that
sort being now performed mainly by
Italians. Hungarians and Polanders. Tha
Tact that the Irish can afford to ride in
grand eqTipages to celebrate the ami
versary of their patron saint instead of
trudsing it on foot as heretofore, appears
to the Sun as one of many visible indica-
tlcls of the increased popularity, in
fiuence. and prosperity of Irishmen cy-
erywhere.
The new departure" inaugurated by
the Irish of New York is apt to be fol-
lowed in other cities in the future. We
have long been Of the opinion that only
rifle companies and bands should parade
on Patrick'a day, or that societies should
march in military step, if they march at
ali. We think that members of societies
should receive drill before they parti-
cipate in parades on Patrick's day, Me-
Moral day or the Fourth of July. No
matter what fine appearance they may
present to spectators they will appear
more imposing by marching with mill
tary precision on parade.
Some good Irishmen do not favor Pat
ricks day parades at ALL In Brooklyn,

the most remarfaaat saints in it's his

ST. Patrick among the people of this

or martyr of anySsfticular race, but a
saint who convicted pagan isle into
the folds OF Christianity. He worked
great miracles, but we must honor his
memory in church and not outside. At
the altar of God you should perpetuate
his memory This is the proper place.
The name Of this illustrious saint CT the
church should not be dragged in the dust
of the streets of our cities O.. in BAN
quet halls.
This manner of honoring st. Patrick
Is not consistent with the life of the
great saint and cannot add glory to his
history. He was self-sacrificing and de-
voted his time during life to the gener-
GUS assistance of others. Therefore St.
Patrick belongs to the church and not
to parading societies. mistake which is
unfortunately made. The promoters of

THE CONDITION OF CUBA.

The American people have been
aroused from their lethargy by the
thrilling address made by Mr.. Galinger
of New hampshire, in the United States
senate on the sad condition of Cuba.
He has recently returned from that
brave but unfortunate island, where he
witnessed scenes of horror beyond the
Eower of tongue to express.
"rhe war in Cuba" he declares, lis a
war OF starvation and extermination-a
war more cruel than the world has
ever known"
He gives a vivid picture of the misery
and restitution of the inhabitants Of
Havana and the surrounding country.
The city of Matanzas is an abode of
Indebtedness. He had it from Spanish
authorities that 225,000 have already
persisted from want, and it is estimated
that 100000 have been driven from their
homes in the country into the cities and
towns. The island is devastated ard
will soon he depopuated il the cruel
war goes on
Perhaps there is no element of the
American population that can better
realize what war Of starvation and eX-
termination means than the Celtic cle-
ment from Ireland. Spain is brutal and
cruel in her treatment of the Cubons
now struggling for liberty. but never
have the Cubans suffered as did the
IRISH at the hands Of England in the
days of the Tudors. The policy of
England Tor centuries has been to ex-
terminate tile Irish from their native
land and enc of the weapons eifectuallv
employed by the tyrant is starvation.
Were Ireland located as far away from
England as Cuba is from Spain, the
Celt would have long since released him
self from the yoke OF the Saxon.
1t is high time for the United States
to take action in regard to Cuba. and
there is every indication that the ty-
ranny OF Spain on this hemisphere will
no longer be tolerated. The American
peGpl" deeply sympathizc with the Gu
lans ana are impatiently waiting for Il
chance to release them from Spanish
oppression. AS MIR Gallinger says:
'Rcl!gion and humanity alike demand
that TINS unholy war shall cease. and
cease it should, even though the glitter
ana glamour of military rule shall end
ana dcraying and dissolute throne
snail pass away never to return"
Before the next issue of the Irish
Standard comes from the press the Unit
Ell States government will have issued
It's llltlmatum to Spain. If the report Of
the board OF inquiry relative to the
Name disaster charges the Spanish an
thorltles in Havana with the tragedy
SPAN must make ample PREPARATION to
IN" United States or take a sound whin-
ping. In the event CT war, the ndenand-
enre of Cuba will he achieved. and Sn,n-

Apostle.
Special to the Irish Standard.
St. Patrick's day was celebrated in pa
triotic style at Butte All the Catholic

invitation, participated in the celebra-
ton. The parade surpassed every pre-
vious one in numbers and display, and
consisted of the following societies and
bands: The Meagher Guards, Division
No. L., A. o. H.; SITS. Peter and Paul
societies; the Austrian society in car
riages; the Slavonian society, the Young

MAN Knights of Anaconda; A. o. H. of
Anaconda, under Aides John Golden and

sistant Marshal Patrick Mitchell, Larry
Duggan, OF Div. No. L., A. o. H.; Timothy
Callahan, Of Div. No. 2, A. O. H.; Mar

i've, officers of the A. o. H. High mass
was celebrated at St. Patrick's church at
10 o'clock, by Rev. Father de Siere, as
sisted by Fathers Allaey and Piernault,
of Anaconda, and Father Smells. Father
de. Siere gave an interesting sermon on
St. Patrick. A great many business
places of Butte closed during the morn
Ing hours to give their employees a
chance to celebrate the day. The stores
in that city and Anaconda were daco.a-
ted with green. red, white and blue.
Everyone wore the green ribbon, and
there We're many happy ones who had
received from their friends the dear lit
tie shamrock from the old sod. Owing
to the celebration in Butte the day was
quiet in Anaconda, but was observed b.
those who remained at home.
The Hibernians of Anaconda are
making preparations to hold fair in
May. The proceeds will go to complete
the A. o. H. hall. Judging from the in
terest that is manifested the fair will
be success.
Mr. John Barry died of pneumonia in
Anaconda on Friday morning, March IS.
