The Value Of Torpedo Boats.

The relative merits and demerits of
the torpedo boat are again brought
under consideration by a statement
from Admiral O'Neil, chief Of the bu-
reau OF ordnance OF the navy, who has
very low opinion both OF torpedo
boats and torpedo boat destroyers.
The admiral declares that the utility
of the submarine torpedo boats, over
which France has been making Sc
much ado, Is far from proved by the
experiments. He thinks that torpedoes
snd torpedo boats may prove useful as
ecarecrows for time, but he cannot
zee that they have any other value
The alarm which was created in som.
quarters by the news that some tor
pedo boats had accompanied Admiral
Cerverp's squadron has not been for
gotten yet. There were many who
saw in them dangerous enemies of the
American warships. Perhaps they
might have been of some service to the
enemy had they been better handled
than they were, but the fate they met
with was an ignoninious one. 1t will be
recalled that the Gloucester, a wooden
ship in command of Captain Vain
wright. made mincemeat Of the torpedo
boats she encountered at Santiago.
On the other hand. 1t may be said
with some degree of truth that there
has not been yet a really fair test of
the merits of these boats. 1t is not
likely that there soon will be one.
There are controversies between naval
officers On this and the other side Of
the Atlantic as to the advantages Of
certain alleged improvements in the
art of naval warfare These contrc-
versies never will be settled until two
great naval powers fall out and settle
them.
However, that part of the public
whose profession is not war will pre-
fer that the controversy should remain
unsettled rather than contemplate the
terrible destruction which would result
from the conflict between two great ma
val powers. particularly II one of them
we're the United States.

The announcement Of the laying of
the last rail on the longest railway IN
the world, the one connecting Moscow
and ST. Petersburg and through them
all Europe with the Pacific ocean at
yladivostok, goes well with the an
nouncement of the conclusion Of Rus.
sia's convention with China consentins
to Russian dominion In Manchuria,. TO
which place the great railroad will ulti-
mately be extended. The hand which
governs the locomotive throttle on the
Siberian railway will forever outweigh
in influence all other foreign hands in
northern China. The real line will be
the road through Manchuria and the
real terminus Port Arthur, on the gulf
of Pechili. The road which is now dn-
ished makes, to reach Vladiyostok
through the former Russian territory. a
detour which is comparable to that Of
the Intercolonial road in Canada. 1t is
even matter of doubt whether the
true line win not some time strike
straight through Mongolia from the
Baikal, via Urga and the Gobl desert,
to Shanhaikwan.

Do Expositions Pay?

Notwithstanding the great monetary
loss incurred by the Pan-American ex-
position at Buffalo the people Of that
enterprising city profess to feel salts
fed that the reputation gained by the
city for enterprise and spirit in produc-
Ing 80 splendid an artistic success is
well worth the price. An echo OF the
same opinion is heard from other cities.
although the sordid may stop to in
quire whether the same expenditure in
other channels OF advertising might
not produce more practical results.
1t seems on the face that st. Louis
thinks expositions pay. for with the
Buffalo record before her the Missouri
city is plunging into an expenditure
two and a half times as great. The

China's foremost diplomat and states
man Is likely TO complicate them still
further. Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese
minister at Washington. declares that
Earl Ii was the only man who was ca
pable Of meeting and adjusting the
complex questions now confronting the
Celestial empire and that his death at
this time is especially deplorable.
Though thoroughly Chinese in his
sympathios. II Hung Chang had I'M
bibed much OF the spirit of western
civilization by contact with the out
eide world, and was unquestlonably
the most liberal and advanced of Chi
nese statesmen. though not infre-
quently charged with duplicity and the
exercise Of the most subtle Of Chi
nese cunning. Though never n nomi-
nal imperial ruler. he was such in fact
during several long periods. He was AT
times the actual master OF the great
empire. Though now and again forced
into retirement and shorn of prestige.
no emperor was able to crush him or
more than briefly bedim his powerful
influence.
General Grant once referred to him
as the Bismarck OF China While he
did not give his country that mastery
which Bismarck gave Germany. he
was powerful influence in its affairs.
While he could not save China from
the humiliations of the defeat by
japan and the foreign occupation of
Peking following the Boxer outrages,
he did save the country from the worst
consequences of those calamities.
His remarkable career was in
sense the product OF the influence of
Frederick Townsend Ward, a Massa-
chusetts adventurer. who organized
the "ever victorious army" which sup
pressed the TAPPING rebellion. and who
fell In battle and has been deified by
the Chinese. He started Ii on that
peculiar career in which. while repre-
senting China TO the western world.
he consolidated his own power over
Chinese politics. Ii never forgot his
obligation TO Ward and to America.
