OUTLOOK IS wARLIKE.

Notwithstanding all the contrary
disclaimers, which have recently been
sent out from st. Petersburg, London,
Paris and Toxic, it is becoming more
evident that war can not be avoided in
the far east. While each of the two
nations primarily involved talks of
peaZce, preparations for war go on
apace, and the clash will doubtless
.seonte ere long.
\ The Japanese are perhaps not able
to, cope alone with the Russians, their
naval strength being much less, but
they have encouragement that fully
compensates for any difference there
may chance to be in the actual number
of vessels and men available. England
is Japan's stanch friend and ally, and
it is solely upon her assurances Of last
ing friendship that the mikado's gov
ernment has assumed the threatening
attitude.

lively an address delivered before the
Liverpool Chamber of Commerce by
Mr. H. Fulford Bush. of Newchang,
entitled, "The Russian Occupation OF
Manchuria, in Its Relations to British

struck a vital blow at Britain's trade,
and to recover from the shock the king
dom is anxious to precitate struggle
that will enable her to assist in GUST
Russia from the richest province in
the Chinese empire.
Manchuria is wonderfully produc.
tive. Its mineral wealth is fabulous,
and, even in the infancy of its develop
ment. it is eagerly sought as a field
for investment by the capitalists Of the
British empire. Its mines have not yet
passed the surface development era and
they have been operated almost entirely
with manual labor. maehinry being un-

derful country as this is worth fight

war spirit in Japan so long as Russia
occupies forcibly the Manchurian PROV

country may easily be trebled by the
British.
The port Of Newchwang was ceded to
England by China and Britain has

Russian influence there has been felt

RRITA1Ns pERILous POSITION

To what an enormous extent Great
Britain is dependent on the rest of the
world for supplies is indicated by the
British foreign trade returns for 1908
Although her population is only little
over 100000. her food and drink bill
to other countries was nearly $780,
100000. Her meat, flour and grain bill
alone amounted to $500, 900, 900. That
these purchases were almost entirely
for home consumption is evident from
the fact that British exports of meat,
-four and grain for 1908 aggregated only
trifie over s1o.OoO,OOO.
1t was much the same with raw ma
terial used in manufacturing. Great
Britain expended nearly $125,O00 900 for
foreign wool, nearly $3.50, 900, 900 for for
eign wood and timber, nearly $25o,OOO,
900 for raw cotton, 100000. 900 for tex
tile materials other than those already
mentioned and about s50000,O00 for
metallic ores of one kind and another.
Her entire bill for foreign crude ma
terials of manufactures and for articles
mainly unmanufactured,o other than food
and drink supplies. reached the stu
pendous total of sS5O,OoOOoO, while her
exports of such products amounted
barely to s175.OOO, 600, about three quar-
tiers of which sum represented coal,
coke and so forth.
More significant still, Great Britain,
in spite of her supposed advantages in
manufacturing,import articles wholly
or mainly manu- eetures tAthe'valpesos
over $e50.OOO,OOO. over s4O.OOO,OOO of
which consisted of iron and steel prod
ucts, 500, O,000,0OO of cotton and woolen
yarns and fabrics and nearly 100000, |
900 of metallic products other than iron
and steel Indeed, her imports of the
latter products, as also those of leather
and manufactures thereof, of earthen-
ware and glass. of wood and timber |
and of paper heavily ex-
ceed her exports of the same descrip-
tion, while she imported nearly as
much cutlery and hardware as she. ex-
ported and Aer imports of other iron
and steel products. including machin-
cry. and Of woolen yarns and fabrics,
amounted substantially to 80 per cent
If her exports of the same class. 4
Discussing the matter the New York
Commercial concludes that such facts
is these lend force to Mr.. Chamber t
aims appeals for British protective q
ariff. OF course, Great Britain will
'robably always be compelled to look
o the United States for most of the
aw cotton she consumes, and she will 0
ever again see the day when she is a
BILE to- feed herself" but Mr.. Cham o
eriain's project, embracing, as it does :,
;ritish colonies and possessions devot-
largely to agriculture in nearly ev-
ry form. unquestionably holds forth y
ne promise that she may become far W
lore Independent of the outside world fl
ian she is at the present time. Her G
resent situation is not unlike that OF OF
he United States when manufactures pc
ere were in their infancy, and it is in
IT surprising that the British people tn

Washington Post-It is a little trying

selves of the habit of referring to David
Il. Hill in the past tense.

600 harvest hands indicates that the
state expects to go republican this year
by tremendous crop.
Cincinnati Trbune-Tammany is pre-
pairing the sawdust for a stampede to
Mcclellan or to Grover. Mr.. Bryan is
preparing for stampede to Hearst,
and Mr.. German is preparing for a
ditto to himself. Ultimately it will be
to the tallest of the timber, but funny
while it lasts.
Pittsburg Dispatch-It is to be hoped
that the speech which Mr.. Bryan de-
livered last night relieved him suffi-
GENTLY to make it worth the cost of the
hall. If it is not worth that to Bryan it
is Il dead loss.
Providence Bulletin-Failing to ac-
complish anything with their sugges-
lion of Marshall Field of Chicago as a
Presidential candidate, certain Demo-
Gratis are now proposing him for the
second place on a Parker ticket. It is
useless; the bung in that barrel has
been driven in to stay.
Philadelphia Press-The Democrats
have carried Bloomington, ILL.,, for the
first time in thirty years, and upon this
they are wildly basing hopes of electing
the next President. Bloomington is a
very nice town. but it doesn't WELD Il
l.o-ont influence in presidential cleo

The Work Of CONGRESS.

Congress has done its work We'll and
promptly, and has now adjourned after
one of the shortest long sessions" in
the history of the country For this
the country in general and the Repub-
lican majority in particular has cause
for congratulation. while it is decidedly
disappointing to the Democratic
minority, which hoped for a long ses-
sion, with it's chances to disturb ma
tional business on the eve of a Presi-
Dental election, and with the POSSIBLE
ity of leading the administration into
some embarrassing situation. But
there is no popular sentiment APPROX
ing protracted session of our legisla-
tive bodies; in fact. the popular senti-
ment is all the other way, both as re-
CARDS Congress and the state legisla-
lures, most of which meet too often
and keep in session too long.
The session of Congress. which adj
journed this week, has done its work
thoroughly and wisely. and that is all
the American people demand of it or
expect of it. 1t transacted all the eX-
traordinary business that was before it
when it assembled. as well as all the
routine business which comes regular
~ before each session. 1t will be long
and honorably remembered by its ac-
ton upon two great matters touching
American honor and American inter-
ests, the passage of the Cuban reci-
procity l>ll, and the ratification of the
Panama canal treaty. Both of these
measures reflect much credit upon the
administration. For what Congress did
not do as well as for what it did do,
the party responsible for national legis-
lation deserves we'll of the country. 1t
refused to tinker with the tariff, some
thing that would have been the OPEN
ing of an industrial controversy, which
could only mean a serious business dis
turbance. = TO-
