OUR INFLUENCE IN KOREA

Besides Japan's justihable claims
upon China. the Tokyo .4Sahi finds
an exclusive sphere of influence for
her in Korea, with regard to whic',
an explicit clause in the Russo
Japanese protocol allows Japan to
establish the closest tradal and in
dustrial relations. We have been.
however. the journal thinks, max
ing but slow progress with the task
of establishing our interests in that
Austin's Hawaiian weekly. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1899-190?, 1899-07-01
Japanese Thought of the Oriental.

The policy of marking Out
spheres of influence by different
powers in China has so far been a
matter of tacit understanding. Rus-
STA, Germany. England. and even
Japan seem to look upon the co.,
cessions obtained from China as
the first step toward the ult mate
realization of their greedy end.
This. however, argues the Tokyo
Asdhi could afford but temporary
satisfaction to the powers, and
hence the policy has entered upon
the second stage of its development,
when the Anglo-Russian agree
ment defined for the two powers the
exact boundaries of their respective
spheres, which example the journal
is certain will be followed by an
Anglo-French and an Anglo-Ital-
ian, and, in fact, all sorts of entente.
But in the journals opinion, the
spirit of the aggressive moves by
the powers is the grabbing at gains,
or more respectfully called the de-
velopment of their commercial and
industrial interests With the ex-
ception of Russia, in which, still
survives a tinge of medieval love
of territorial conquests, all the
powers are governed by the sole
desire of applying their surplus
capital to the inexhaustible re-
sources of China, and of reaping
the profits of their commercial and
industrial activities. If this object
be realized, the journal doubts
whether the powers would care
much even were their rulers still
Mandarins. Only the lax, irres-
ponsible government by the Man
darins would not be sure guaran-
tee for the safety of foreigners per-
son and property; and it is this,
our contemporary believes, which
will serve as the preteNt for the
coercing by the powers the trans
ference of government from Man
darins to their hands. This will be
the third stage in the development
of the policy. Arrived at that stage,
the spheres of influence will have
become partitioned territories, or
colonial tributaries. To those that
would object to this pitiless fore
cast for China's future, our con-
temporary would reply that China
in the present state of impotence
is no more able to escape the fatal
end than Africa in the hands of
European powers.

THE FORMOSAN GOVERN
MENT.

MILF
The OSAKA ASahi is determined
that the administration of Formosa,
which has proved ever since the ac-
QUESTION of the island constant
source of trouble to us, should BE-
nevertheless pushed on to success
at whatever cost. For that end, the
journal would give all the appro-
priations needed for it's efficient adj
ministration, and would leave the
matter of expenditure much to the
discretion of the island government.
AS to putting all end to the con-
tinual uprisings of the raiders, the
journal sees no more efficient means
than the construction of railways.
1t is great pity, thinks the journal,
that the Formosan Railway Com
pany that was organized against
great odds but under a favorable
subsidy from the government,
should now have relapsed to a state
of utter collapse and be petitioning
for government help. The journal
holds that the government which
exerted its utmost influence for the
existence of the company, should
now share the obligations of the en-
terprise, and should now undertake
on its own account the completion
of the most important means of
humanizing the benighted islanders.
(Ihe government has decided with
the consent of the Diet to construct
on it's own account railways in For
mosa. Ed. ]. IT, What gives
more hope for better government
of the territory is the extensive
subscription given to the shares of
the new Formosa Bank. With the
necessary capital on hand, the jour
nal is confident that the government
will be now on highway of realiz-
ing all it's reforms for Formosa.
One thing against which it warns
the authorities is their time COM
plaisance toward a few foreigners
opinions, chronic weakness in the
superannuated minds of the clan
extraction. which the journal hopes
will be remedied by the appoint
mcnt of new men to the offices in
the island government. If again,
change be contemplated in the gov
ernmcnt, our contemporary can
recommend TO other than either one
of the two names: Niscount Kat
sura, who was once appointed but
who has never actively assumed the
office, or Marquis Ito, who is re-
ported to have assured Ii Hung
Chang of the successful government
of the island in our hands.

THE MORAL
Support OF The United States
Is With
England I'm Her War-as Hers wasWith
us against Spain European Powers
Have Been Notifled--Not to Attack
England During The Beer War

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct, 27,-The
Administration. through our repre-
sentatives at the courts Of the great
Powers on the continent, have con-
veyed in diplomatic manner and Ian
guage, but no less firmly and distinct
", information that the United States
will not take part in any movement
TO interfere with Great Britain during
her present. operations ia South Afri-
ca.
All the information coming TO the
State Department indicates that there
will be no coalition of the continental
powers against Great Britain and that
whatever talk there may have been in
some OF the continental courts about
organizing such coalition to restrain
Great Britain or TO force concessions
from her in her present situation will
come to nothing.
The quiet limitations as to the po-
sition Of the United States which
have been given by her Ambassadors
have probably contributed to this re-
suit quite as much as the precautions
airy measures taken by Great Britain,
The continental Powers understand
that Great Britain has the moral sup
port OF the United States as against
them, without reference to the Trans
vaal question, just as they under
stood last year that the United States
had the moral support of Great Brit
ain as against them.
We have not interfered in the
Transvaal matter, aud we shall not
interfere, but we have made the con-
tinental Powers understand that they
must not take advantage of Great
Britain's emergency to injure her in
terests in China, in Egypt or any
where else.
All Europe has been thoroughly in
formed that the relations between the
United States and Great Britain are
as close and cordial as they were dur
ing the Spanish War,
1t is, of course, as well understood
that there is no alliance between the
two countries and that the United
States is standing on its traditional
doctrine against interference in the
affairs Of Europe. But, now that we
have the Philippines and new inter
est in China the significance of the
attitude which has been taken by the
United States is thoroughly apprecia-
ted by the continental Powers.

DIR. LEECH'S LECTURE.
He Gives Graphic Description of the
Famous John Brown Raid.

An audience of about one hundred
and fifty persons assembled last
night at the NJ. f. church to hear
DR.. Leech on The John Brown
Raid at Harper's Ferry DIR. Leech
began his lecture with very strik
ing description of the natural scenery
in the neighborhood of Harpers
Ferry. At the time Of the raid his
pastoral duties as preacher, were
in the vicinity of Harper's Ferry.
The night of the raid he was only a
short distance away.
Dr. Leech dwelt upon the chief
incidents connected with this event;
the planning for the raid, the rent
ing Of the Kennedy Farm; the meth
cd of securing arms; the participants
in the raid, who were sixteen whites
and five blacks. The assigning of
these men'to their respective places
was described Then followed de
scr:ption of the raid itself, which
took place Sunday night, Oct 10th,
1859. Thirty or forty leading citi-
zens were arrested followed by much
excitement, state troops were called
out, militia from Baltimore arrived
on Monday, on Tuesday morning
the United States marines COM
manded by Col. Robert E. Lee. The
fort of John Brown was taken Tues
day morning, Oct. 18th, 1859. DIR.
Leech spoke of the charges under
which John Brown was indicted the
trial which followed; the able coun-
sci provided for him, and the verdict
of the jury; and his sentence to be
| hanged December I'd, 1859. The
speaker quoted from letters written
by John Brown, which demonstrated
that he believed firmly that he was
an instrument in the hands Of God
to help bring to an end human slay-
cry. DR.. Leech brought out before
his audience the deep and absorb
ing conviction which prompted him
to do what was to his best friends
and foes a rash act. John Brown
had no fear of death, he trusted in
the grace off God TO save him. DIR.
Leech spoke of how, in short time
after the death of John Brown the
refrain "John Browns body lies

soul is marching on, was wonder.

before presenting him to the audi
