WAS 1T A BLUEFs

Despite the denials of foreign repre-
sentatives. and the expressed skept-
cism OF our own Government, it is
plain that Washington does not feel
exactly comfortable over the rumor
that Germany, Russia and Japan are
about to attempt to freeze out Eng
land and the United States in China.
The weak point of the rumor has all
along been the extreme improbability
of any cordial cooperation between
Russia and Japan, but the landing of
Japanese marines at Annoy, where
American interests are largest, the
port upon which it is understood Mr..
Mckinley had his eyes If the break
UP comes, has lent color to the asser-
ton that Japan is party to the Rus
so-German understanding.
In this emergency the State Depart
ment has INDUCED in what is either
buster or q threat of war, and foreign
representatives will not be slow to ac-
quaint their respective Governments
with this decidedly positive tone adopt
ed by the Administration. That was
the evident purpose of the intimation
allowed to reach the country through
the Associated Press on yesterday that
should Russia, Germany and Japan see
fit to declare war and to demand the
withdrawal of our forces that the
Government will not be coerced
against our interests" We repeat.
that is either buster or it is a plain
statement, that before it will with
draw from China the United States
will fight, even though it be compelled
to face three OF the most formidable
military Powers of the world.
The situation is suggestive; the
threat brings US measurably nearer
than we have yet been to the world
confagration which has been predict
ed from the first as probable result
of the Chinese imbroglio; it likewise
suggests the United States as the lead
on -oTrr .siticof the contest
neither England nor us. and her help
could not be depended on. England s
lands are tied. Are we prepared to
fight Germany, Russia, Japan, for a
share of the Chinese spoils? If not
then there had better be a little less
turbulence at Washington and a
speedy withdrawal of our troops from
China. where they have accomplished
the purpose for which they were dis
patched at the outset.

THE GROWTH OF BERKLEY.

The statement published I'm the yir-
ginian-Pilot yesterday showing some
thing of the phenomenal industrial ex-
of Berkeley was doubtless revelation
to many of our citizens There are
few things more interesting and in
structive than the growth of a town.
and the development of Berkeley as q
part of this port is we'll worth more
than cursory examination.
Berkley's claim that 1t has more cap
ital invested in manufacturing enter
prises than either Norfolk or Ports
mouth is no mean distinction, IL we'll
grounded, and we have no purpose to
question it. There is nothing that goes
so far toward assuring solid and steady
growth in the city of to-day as diver
sified manufactures. They are the
very warp and wool of the marvelously
complex fabric of urban commerce as
we know it, and they give stability
that can not be had in any other way.
Berkleys industrial plants ought to
mean steady development for years
to come, bringing an advance in prop
erty values, in trade, and in relative
Importance as q part of this port It
would not be in the least surprising II
ten or fifteen years hence Berkeley
alone has population as large as was
the population of Norfolk fifteen years
ago. At this prospect Norfolk and
Portsmouth can alike afford to be graf
flied, for there Is community of in
terests between the three cities that
makes the growth of either advantage
all.

1--WE have n large army and must

1.-THE voter is only the machine that

The Globe either voices the senti-
ments of the major part of it's clientele
whose behalf 1t urges the establish
ment of monarchy in this country.
In either case, its utterance is most
significant. That newspaper circu-
lating among Americans dares to ex-
press such open advocacy of Empire
can but be regarded as ominous.
Either 1t is not dependent upon its
clientele for support or there is a large
element in this country that would be
glad to see our form of government
changed. Two years ago no RESPONSE
BILE or respectable newspaper could
have been found from Maine to Calf
fornia that would have expressed the
sentiments urged by this Mckinley
organ. We go forward.
We have said before, and we believe
the facts justify us, that the corpora
tons. trusts and special interests,
which bought victory for the Re-
publican party in 1896, and which
are expected to buy victory this year,
would be glad to see our form of gov

haps, that two-thirds of the million

to substitute King for President. They
would do this because they believe that
their great wealth would be more Sc
cure under such a government. and
because they are greatly enamoured of
titles.
The Globe spoke to willing ears, and
1t knew it.

ARE THE RUSSIANS BARBARIANSi

An ex-ofIicer of the Russian army
writes to the Chicago Record to indg-
nantly protest that the Cossaclts are
not the barbarians they are made out
to be in the dispatches from China.
They are, he asserts, disposed always
to treat women and children kindly,
and that after the Crimean war they
actually took away with them children
whose parents had been killed and had
them educatd at the expense of Co.'S
sack military organizations. The
writer also points out that the Co.'S
sacks are not, as is usually supposed,
free lances in war but are under the
discipline of the Russian regular army
which vigorously Furnishes any in
fringement of the rules of civilized
warfare. This is directly contradic-
tory OF the reports of the fighting. both
