There are two points which it is neces-
sary TO bear in mind in connection With
this crisis in the far Orient The one
is that according to the terms of the
much discussed and extensively mis-
construed alliance between Japan and
England, the latter is under no obliga-
tons 10 take up arms in behalf OF her
Oriental associate, unless the latter finds
herself confronted by TWO hostile pow
ers. The other point to which I would
call attention is the fact that far too
much Importance has been accorded in
this country 10 the professions of Rus
sia's friendship for the United States. a
widespread impression seems to prevail
on this side of the Atlantic that rather
than forfeit American good will and
sympathy, Russia would be ready TO
make any concession, even to the ex-
tent of sacrificing the possession of Man
churia. This, l fear, will be found to
be a mistake. - Russia is not prepared TO

Treaties Don't Count.

With regard to the virulent abuse that
has been lavished upon Russia within
the last few days by the American press,
in connection with what is termed her
gross breach of faith" and her dis
regard of her solemn treaty engage
ments,' it is only fair TO point out that
while Russia enjoys an unenviable pre-
eminence for her cynical disregard of her
international obligations, there are few
great powers that have not been guilty
of similar offences in this respect In
fact, experience goes to show that treat
les are only made to be broken, and as
a general rule they are adhered to just
so long as it is to the interest of the
nations who are parties TO the agree
ment to do SO. And inasmuch as the
rupture of treaties is frequently ac-
cepted as a casus belli, they may be con-
sidered, on the whole, as conducive rath-
er to war than TO peace
Thus the so-called treaty of Paris,
which marked the close of the Crfmean
War. and which was imposed upon Rus
STA by the victors. was observed only so
long as it suited the convenience of the
Muscovite government. and was de-
nounced by the Cars chancellor,

this object in view it has purchased the

pany, at Thetford Mines, Quebec. 1t is
probable that the business in this coun-
try will be transacted under the title
of the New England Canadian Asbes-
tus Company, of Fall River. Hitherto
the company has had it's headquarters
at Fall River ard has confined its at
tention to developing the mines which

Japan,s Activity in China.

Two factors remain to be considered in
the matter. The one is China herself,
and the other Japan, and there are
serious reasons for believing they pro-
pose to act in unison in the affair, and
that the action of the Pekin government
a few days ago in refusing to comply
With the new demands made upon it by
Russia, is due TO the fact that it is as
sured of the support, not merely moral,
but likewise material, Of Japan.
Ever since the Boxer insurrection and
the siege of the Pekin legations, few
years ago, the Japanese have been quiet
ly, unobtrusively, but yet more indus
triously. engaged in getting a strong
hold upon the confidence and the friend
ship of the Chinese, who, seeing in them
men Of much the same race, faith, ira
ditions and ethics, and bound to them
and of industries, are ready to accept
from them counsel and instruction,
which they would regard with distrust,
suspicion and even contempt if tender
ed by Europeans or Americans The
Japanese, without making any fuss or
attracting much attention, have been
drilling and recognizing the Chinese
army, have supplanted Europeans in the
great Chinese arsenals, and acted as
confidential advisers to the statesmen at
Pekin, and TO the provincial viceroys. In
fact, they have been silently active In
every branch of Chinese military, naval
and civil administration, as well as in
educational and Industrial life. This has
taken place with the knowledge and
moral support of Great Britain and pre-
sumably of the United States. OF course,
some time must elapse before Japan can
complete her work OF recognizing the
army and the civil administration of
the Celestial empire, and she had every
thing to gain by delaying as long as
possible any conflict with Russia, since
each month that passed served to in
crease the efficiency and Importance of
China as an ally.
1t is perhaps the knowledge of this
that has led Russia 10 cast aside the
mask and to precipitate events by viz
tually finging the fragments OF her last
years treaty. pledging herself to with
draw from Manchuria, into the face of
the powers. 1t may be taken for granted
she realizes that. inasmuch as an armed
struggle with Japan concerning Man
cburia and Korea is inevitable. II is best
10 bring matters to a crisis at once. in
stead of waiting until the Chino-Japa-
nese coalition has had time TO deyelop
its enormous and incalculabIe latent
strength.

Preparing for War With Russia.

OF course. it is just possible that Rus
STA may prefer 10 modify her demands
upon the Pekin government rather than
face war with China and Japan, which
would entail the expenditure OF a vast
amount of blood and treasure, and thro y
back for many years her economic de-
velopment and commercial prosperity.
That Japan, however, will consent TO
any compromise short OF the complete
evacuation Of Manchuria by Russia is far
less probable. For years she has been
preparing for war with Russia, realiz-
ing that with the latter in possession OF
Aanchuria and in control of Korea. not
merely her extensive trade in northern
China, but her very independence and ex-
istence as an island empire, are menaced.
Every Japanese man. woman and child
looks upon Russia as the enemy who will
have 10 be fought to a finish sooner or
later, and there is no doubt at the pres

expected For the Cars government
has invested colossal sums in the con-
struction of the great trans-Siberian

Indispensable that the Muscovite govern

The question now arises as 10 what
power, or coalition of powers, will re
sort to force for the purpose of compelI-
ing Russia TO recede from the position
which she has assumed with regard to
Manchuria, and from which 1t is difficult
to see how she can withdraw without the
sacrifice OF all her vast interests in the
far Orient. Both the United States and
Great Britain have large commercial in
terests in northern China. These, how
ever, are not sufficiently extensive to rem
der it worth while embarking upon
war with Russia in order to prevent
their exclusion from and the destruction
of their interests in Manchuria- Ger
many has already proclaimed through
her chancellor, Count Won Buelow, in the
Reichstag. that she is perfectly indiffer-
ent to any action which the Muscovite
government may see st to take with re-
gard to Manchuria, while France, al
though her enthusiasm in connection
with her alliance with Russia has great
ly cooled, is nevertheless sufficiently tied
up thereby 10 prevent any serious oblec-
ton to the Cars policy in China.

Bismarck's Double Dealing.

BISmarck's Double Dealing.
In 1896 the indiscretions of the late
Prince Bismarck showed how little reIi-
yaunted triple alliance, since Germany
at the time when she was bound by the
most sacred ties TO a defensive and Of
fensiYe union with Austria and Italy,
against Russia and France, had actually
made a secret agreement with the Car
behind the backs of her allies.
In 1878, England made a treaty with
Turkey, by which, in return for the ces-
sion of the Island of Cyprus. she guar
anteed the integrity of the Ottoman En-
pire, an understanding which it is Meth
er polite nor possible for her to fulfill.
Russia bound herself by treaty in the
most solemn manner not to restore the
Notifications of the Black Sea port of
Batoum, or to convert it into a naval
stronghold, in spite of which its de-
lenses today rival those of Portsmouth.
France engaged herself not to take
possession of Tunis, which nevertheless
has become one of her colonial depen-
denotes. Great Britain undertook not to
prolong her military occupation of
Egypt beyond the limit of time neces-
sary to assure to the land of the Nile a
stable government. in spite of which she
has been established there for more
than twenty years, and shows no in
tention of evacuating the dominions of
the Khedive. So. after all. Russia is
only following the example of other
powers, when, in the words of her repre-
sentative at Washington, Count Cassini,
she proposes to postpone her evacua-
ton of Manchuria until she has adopted
measures 10 prevent a repetition of the
troubles of 1900, as well as TO insure in
that country her political influence, -
that is. predominance.
