GRAVE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. AaRoAp

THERE is a feeling abroad that the
i Far Eastern question IS approach
ing a crisis and this sentiment is ex-
pressed with considerable concern by the
greatest Of English papers, The Times.
Japan has protested in firm language
at the attitude OF France in allowing the
Russian fleet to remain so long In neutral
waters. 1t is charged that the fleet has
been repaired. recoaled and provisioned
at ports under French control: and while
there is a pretense that the vessels have
kept beyond the three mile limit. yet some
other explanation is necessary to show
this disposition to hug the coast OF
French territory for so long a time.
The people Of Japan are becoming in
dignant and have begun to demand that
the Emperor take heroic measures. The
bombardment Of a French port is the only
step that Japan can take beyond what
she has already taken. Her remonstrances
have been met with polite assurances OF
neutrality. but the spirit OF a neutral has
been lacking.

Ordinary Common Sense would seem

And what satisfaction would there
be in a verdict OF guilty after n ma
jority Of two iuries have voted for

New York AN immense sum already.
