JAPAN AND CHINA.

With the readjustment of the dis
pute between China and Japan the
powers that looked with anxiety in
the growing menace of an oriental
war breathe easier, says the "Balti-
more American"
China's agreement to purchase the
war stores which she claimed were
being carried by the vessel as con-
traband and to salute the raising
again of the flag of Japan over the
confscated ship has brought to an
end the controversy. 1t did not at
any state have in it the material of
war. But Japan seemed to think
differently. That nation has its SEN
sibilities upon such keen edge that it
is difficult for any power to disagree
with it without running the hazard
of call to arms. The most inter-
esting phase of the dispute was the
refusal of China to be browbeaten in 0
a humiliating confession of error and
the imposition of an intolcrable in
demnity. China has made amends,
but has not been brought TO her
knees in the AFFECT fashion her strong
neighbor would have liked. Nor is
it likely that in any future differ
ences she will 60 further than in the
present case toward meeting the de
mands of Japan. China is growing
in power, in self-respect and in abil-
ity to perceive and readiness to sup
port her national honor.
Could the curtain be lifted there
would probably be disclosed several
agencies in active operation to bring
about the speedy conclusion of the
quarrel. There is little doubt bu,
that England took account Of the
belIigerent spirit Of Japan and made
representation to her in way to
subdue that spirit. AS Japan is
great power by the grace of the
worlds fnanciers, and cannot make
a move toward ACKNOWLEDGEMENT ex,
cept by the aid of foreign loans, that
country has check placed upon her
indulgence in warlike activity. 1t
is plain enough that the Western
nations are not viewing with salts
faction the disposition of Japan to
take issue with China over every
matter that admits of an objection
from her. The purpose is to |
strengthen her foothold in Chinese
territory and her political influence
in the Chinese Empire. The several
treaties that the Western powers
have entered into with regard to
Manchuria all have as their object
the preservation OF peace in the East
Under such conditions these powers
could not view with tolerance efforts
Of Japan to compromise China's
,elf-asteem or to force her to battle
or her honor. The unfortunate ep-
sode is closed, but it will leave a
car. Nor will its significance be

SENATOR WILLIAM PIMA =
NEY WHITE.

United States Senator William
Pinkney Whyte died at 7.O5 P. M.
on Tuesday at his home, . East
Chase street, Baltimore, following a
sudden sinking spell. Erysipelas,
which had confined him to his bed
since Saturday, was the direct cause
of his death.
The death of Senator Whyte will
be felt throughout Maryland and by
almost the entire population as in
some sense personal bereavement.
So closely had he become identified
with his native State and with his
fellow-citizens that Marylanders,
without distinction of party, had
come to regard him with the person
al affection and pride which men feel
in a relative who has conferred I'M
usual honor and luster upon his fam
ily. He was not only a household
name in every Maryland home, but
the man himself had won a warm
and Sympathetic place in every
Maryland heart. occupying a pecu
liar and intimate relation even to
those who did not know him person
ally, and creating by his broad DEM
ocracy and spirit of human brother
hood feeling of kinship among all
sorts and conditions of men. The
death of such a man causes more
than mere passing regret. There
was a feeling of genuine grief
throughout Maryland and beyo.i
her borders when it was known that
he had passed away.
The public career which ended
Tuesday began more than 81 years
ago, when Mr.. Whyte was elected
to the General Assembly of Mary,
land. Six years later he was elected
Comptroller of the Treasury. In
1868 he was appointed to the United
States Senate as a proper successor
to Reverdy johnson; then he was
elected Governor of Maryland, then
again to the United States Senate,
this time going back after an inter
val of nearly 40 years from bis first
election. In 1881, when he was
elected Mayor of Baltimore, be had
the honor of being the choice of the
whole people.
