FRENCH IDEAS ON CHINA.
THE EASTERN QUESTION WEIGHED BY
PIERRE LEROY-BEAULIEU.

THE AWAKENING OF THE EAST SIBERIA
JAPAN-CHINA. BY Pierre Leroy-Beaulteu.
With a Preface by Henry Norman Octave,
PIP. xvii, 299. Mcclure Phillips Co.
This is another of that great host OF special
books which the Chinese crisis has called into
circulation. The appropriateness of the moment
for such works has occurred to numerous other
writers in the last half year. and THE Awaken
ing OF the East must stand its chances rather
upon the merits OF its French point OF view
than upon its timeliness IL is the fact OF its
French origin that will arouse particular inter-
est in IL among those I'm this country who. after
reading several English books on the Far East,
may wish to see whether the Chinese question
does not wear another aspect when viewed
from the anti-English side. In the popular
view OF international politics France is still
the friend of Russia. and Russian bias is natu-
rally looked for in French work on this sub
ject AS matter of fact. while NJ. Leroy-Beau-
lieu discovers none of the positive hostility TO
Russia which commonly marks the English
treatment of Asatic topics. neither is he ag-
gressively Russophile Beyond this. his general
conclusion TO the destiny of China as ma
ton is sadly consonant with those OF most Eng
iish writer's. and MIR. Norman strongly indorses

perhaps, best summed up IN the conclusion OF
one of h. chapters on Japan:
From the point OF view OF International poll
tics, Japan is certainly conservative element:
but in the day of struggle, should it ever occur.
she is destined to weigh very heavily in the
scale not only in the solution OF the question Of
the Far East but also in the problem which
rises behind it-that Of supremacy in the Pacific.

To attempt to write a serious history of a
great war before the sound Of the guns has
ceased seems little absurd. Not only is the
writer too near the events TO see them in the
proper perspective. but he must also, in great
measure. lack the means Of determining what
they really were. There is, however, a certain
advantage in this proximity when the writer is
q man of literary talent. like Conan Doyle. and

LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS OF
SHIPS AND SHIPPING.

Large Amount of Ship Work BEING
Done in savannah, But Several
Contracts Have Been Sent Else
where-Suction Dredge to Be Built
and Equipped Notwithstanding
ThOrnnby's CnrgO-Matters of In
terest to Shippers and Mariners.
That a shipbuilding plant, even on a
small scale, would meet a great want in
Savannah is shown by the large amount
of work in this line which is now being
turned out at different points along the
wharves, and the amount which remains
to be done. In some cases the building
and rebuilding of vessels cannot be done
here, which leaves no way open to pat
ronize home industries for those so in
cuned Several good contracts have been
sent away during the past sixty days.
The most recent work of this kind is
the building of a suction dredge for Rit-
tenhouse Moore & Co., which will be done
at some point to be selected along the
wharves. The large lighter which will
be so converted was brought TO Savannah
several days ago from Norfolk by the tug
Wauban, and is now on Willnks marine
railway receiving repairs. The lighter
viii be thoroughly caulked, and all other
necessary repairs made preparatory to
building the dredge. The machinery and
all material will be furnished by local
dealers, and the labor will be given to
home people. The dredge is being built
for the special work this firm is now do
ing on Doboy bar, at the entrance to Da-
rien.
