Naval experts after the close of the Spanish war were divided on the sub ject of torpedo boats. The preponder- ance of opinion was that their value had been greatly exaggerated. At least ours performed no effective service. The Japanese evidently know better how to use them than we did and they had already made good use of them in the war with China. The destruction of the Brazilian insurgent Aquidaban had also shown that the torpedo boat is al machine dangerous to the enemy.

OUR STAKE IN ASIA.

Our interest in the east and our in fiuence there have never been so great as they are today. We are most con- veniently situated, geographically, i among the commercial nations, to sup ply Asiatic needs. and We also have most of those products for which a war would increase the demand. The only way. indeed, in which it would be
 possible to figure out q series of events { ahead which might involve us in gen , eral war, would be by supposing Rus sia and her allies to declare foodstuffs contraband of war, to injure England
 step against which our protest might be so earnest as to lead to action
 Without considering any circumstances so serious and remote, it is easy to see how far closer We are to all the com plications or Asia than we were eight or ten years ago. Taking the Philip pines from Spain was one step our
 watchful and determined attitude dur ] ing the secretaryship of MT. Hay has been another. the vast general expan- , sion O. our commerce has worked in the same direction. and the approach of the isthmian canal promises an en-
 ormous sudden increase of Asiatic trade upon its completion. Our history in the future, as power circling the globe with all the relations which com merce makes necessary, promises to resemble the history of England here tofore. This expansion means more
 money spent on warships, but, if we
 are to think the matter out in dollars.
 the cost in naval insurance, so to speak, will be but fraction of profits
 from increased trade. It means also somewhat more possibility of our par
 ticipation in any general war, and also

The First Engagement.

The war in the far east has actually begun Three Russian warships lie crippled under the guns Of Port Arthur. The doubt which has pre- vailed for months as to the eventuality of the negotiations has now given place 10 conjecture as to the length of the struggle and the outcome of it..
 It was not expected that there would be early sea fighting in the event of war. The Russians evidently did not expect H. The disaster they sustained yesterday was the result of unpre- pardetIness. It was the policy of Rus sia 10 wear Japan out in land cam paign for it was believed that the naval force Of the latter was more than match for the Russian force nov in Aslatlc waters.
 There was also a general belief that ship for ship and man for man the JaPaneEe were superior. Indeed there is a belief which is considerably strength ened now that there are no better sea lighters in the world if there are any so good The dash and skill they employed in the Chinese war has not been forgotten by the nations. Their naval accoutrements are beside up to the minute.
 Whatever inequality existed between the Russian and Japanese naval forces in the far east has been measurable incress sed by the events of last Monday night and the policy of Russia to con- fine her operations to the land. at least until her naval force can be augmented by ships now in the White sea. the Mediterranean or on their way to the scene of fighting. will be strength eIied
 In comparison of the naval forces of the contestants we have had in mind only the recognized warships. There are several strong ships and some minor ones at Vladivostok. A large number of vessels belonging to the volunteer fleet at present serving as transports are scattered through out Asiatic waters, and are accom- panied by war vessels of the lighter classes. These transports, it is said, are fully equipped to be transformed into cruisers at short notice, and capa- ble Of making havoc with Japanese shipping In view of this condition Japan has been drawing in it's mer- chant ships as rapidly as possible for the double purpose of protecting them and using them as auxiliaries, if neces- sary.
 Korea will in all probability be the scene of the land fighting. at least for a time The concentration of Russian troops in Central Korea denotes a plan to obstruct Japanese progress as far south as possible. and to contest the northward march by every means known to modern warfare. The north ern part of Korea is mountainous and advancement would be slow against d strong force. Here is where the wear ing out" process would be most effect ually employed. It is estimated that Port Arthur could stand q year 5 siege without great suffering, and it is possible that such q siege will be ac- cepted as q matter of course. But this would mean almost free waters for Japan's transportation of troops and supplies to Korea, and would give great strength to the advancing army of the Mikado.

of our having on our own account the little wars with weaker peoples which expansion usually implies. The reason that the anti-expansionists have had so little hearing in this country is not so much an overpowering sentiment in favor of expanding interests as it is the instinct which tells us that, however the advantages and dangers may be weighed. the process is made iEIvitabla by the natural movements of com- merce. and t is better to see that We move with intelligence than to oppose motion ltogether.-Collier's Weekly.
