The Canning of Joseph Chamberlain

In organizing a great league for the purpose of keeping Ireland in a state of irritation, Joseph Chamberlain proves once more that he is the most resourceful, the most forceful and the most influential man in the British em- pire. Not even the king is to be classed with him. The great meeting of the liberal unionist council, held in London the other night, was attended by more than eighteen hundred dele gates, representing all parts of the kingdom. Chamberlain was elected president Of the council, and he tersely stated its purpose
 The maintenance of the union be- tween Great Britain and Ireland under the control of one supreme parliament.
 In other words, it is the purpose of the organization to prevent Ireland from having home rule. MT. Cham berlain went further and explained that one of his chief objects was to diminish Irelands representation in parliament He urged the necessity of reform in Irish electoral representa- . tion. The leader of the Irish nation alists, he pointed out, controlled some eighty votes. which were swung from side to side without regard to the merits of the case under discussion, and with the avowed object of lnak- ing the British government impossible and coercing the British parliament into giving him what he wanted" Mir Redmond might retort, of course, that he and his followers could scarcely be more shifty than MT.

A Dangerous Stage of the War.

The Russo Japanese war has reached a stage which portends grave danger to the peace of the world. The passage of warships through the Dardanelles in violation of the treaty of Berlin has aroused the British people to such an extent that the hands of the govern- ment may be forced. It is true that the vessels which have gone through the straits so far have been auxiliary ships of the volunteer fleet, and that the battleships and cruisers of the Black sea fleet are still in the Black sea. But the Berlin treaty has been violated just as fiagrantly as if the en- tire Russian squadron had passed cut. And the seizure of neutral ships be- longing to German and British citizens on the pretext that mail destined for Japan is contraband of war, Is arous- ing anger against Russia in both Ger many and England.
 The vital question, of course. is, What does Russia mean by these maneuvers? If Russia has decided that she cannot defeat Japan single-handed and in preference to defeat has chosen to bring on a worldwide war, she is taking precisely the steps to accom- plish her purpose. If Great Britain takes up the gage for Japan, France under the terms of her alliance with Russia, must take up arms for the cEar. The English people are the ar blters of peace. just now. That King Edward is intensely anxious to main tain peace with Russia, and that his personal sympathies are with the cZar, his wlfes nephew, is well known. Bu: the influence of the throne would count for little against an aroused English public.
 The German emperor is one of the unknown factors. The keenest states men of the world have been unable to fathom his intentions or fix his status in the event of the war spreading to the nations of Europe That his sym pathies are with the Russians Is gen. orally taken for granted, but 1t is not likely that his friendship for the czar would stand the strain of repeated Russian outrages against German merchantmen. That William intends to play an important part before the war is ended is about the only fact generally agreed upon as to him.

The Alleged Explosion at Port Arthu,

At last, there is some definite con- firmation of the story which flew around the earth last week to the ef- feet that thirty thousand Japanese were killed by exploding mines at Port Arthur on the 11th of July. How the story originated was never ascertained. It was transmitted from Mukden to St. Petersburg by Viceroy Alexieff, with the information that it came from Japanese sources" After a dead silence of several days tho Japanese government. which is in constant com munication with the Japanese armies on the Liao Tung peninsula, issued categorical denial. Readers of The Re- publican may remember that the dis patch as telegraphed from Tokio and printed Sunday was what lawyers call a technical denial. It read:
 The imperial headquarters staff of ficially denies the report from St.
 Petersburg that the Japanese lost 3O,- 900 men in battle near Port Arthur on July 10 or Il. It asserts that there was not shot fired on either date"
 If one were to pick flaws in this de- nial 1t would be seen at once that it repudiates only the story that SOOOO were lost, and that there was fight ing on the 10th or 11th. The Japanese might have lost many thousands by the was going on, and still the official de-

nial would be technically truthful The Tokio dispatch, apparently, was careful to refrain from saying that there had been no explosion and no loss of lie.
 The dispatch from Chefoo, printed this morning, quotes Chinese junkmca as saying that the Japanese had oap- tured one of the hills overlooking Fort Arthur. and that the troops station,sr thereon were cut off and blown up Gil July T, the losses agg ceg1,lng several thousand. There Is nothing inherently impossible in the story. Chefoo dis patches must be accepted with reserve. 1t is true. But after all, Chefoo is the only base for unofficial information from Port Arthur. Chefoo lies across the straits, 200 miles south of the fort ress. It is headquarters for the Chinese blockade runners. The Japanese block sde is not effective at all times against the Chinese junks carrying vegetables and supplies into the belea guered port, it is certain. These junkmen are ig- norant to start with, of course, and their reports must be analysed in ali cases. Such information as they get Is obtained from the Russians at the Port Arthur docks. Obviously, but little credence can be given to their esti- mates of numbers killed, or anything in that line. But the event itself is not likely to escape them altogether.
 
 explanation of the long silence of the Japanese government before denial of the explosion story was sent out b the world. It is but 200 miles from the eastern shores of the Liao Tung penin- sula across the water to Korea. The Japanese are patrolling these waters constantly, and transports and war ships are passing back and forth be- tween the peninsula and Korea at all times. Information from the Japonese troops besieging Port Arthur is but few hours old when conveyed by the Japanese to the Korean coast, whence it Is telegraphed to Tokio instantly. And 1t is by no means improbdbl that the railroad telegraph lines from the Japanese army besieging Port Arthur are connected with General Kuroki's field telegraph in the north. whence there is direct connection with Korea and Japan. Altogether, the Japanese government must have known within d few hours after the rumor started whether there was any truth in it. That Tokio waited a week before de- nying the story that SO,OoO men had been lost might well indicate that it had good basis in truth.
