The sticle in the London Times quoted by REUTER in his despatch of the 8th A. S. WATSON & CO. instant will be read with the utmost atten- tion. It will be noted that the leading English paper is reportel as adopting a stronger tone than hitherto, and, while advocating first the negative policy of pre- venting other Powers from joining Russia against Japan, going on to declare directly that England cannot in any circumstances afford to see the dominion of the Far East pass into the hands of a single unfriendlyutside round the whole building, have to be Power or look on and set Japan obliterated or reduced to second-rate maak. We rejoice to see the opinions which we have cou sistently expressed thus supported by the weight of authority of the Times. The view expressed ssons to us so undoubtedly correct and the principle involved so vita to the continuance of any British influence in North-east Asia that we should like to see the whole of the British Preas at one in the matter. From recent telegraphic informa tion it seems a fact that all the more responsible Londou journals are adopting this attitude, while public opinion has given some remarkable proofs of its tread in the last few weeks.
