THE WOLF AND THE LAMB. ·
The special telegram which we pub. lished In our last issue, received from our Shanghal correspondent, seems to fit in with and complete other items of news that have been current during the last few days. There was a report from the north within the last week that Russia was bent on forcing war on Japan. There is the item in our last American exchanges that ASPBERRYADE, &c. five additional Russian battleships, with cruisers en rulle, were about to be sent out to the Pacific. There is a sig- nificant fact reported from Japan that the war vessels under construction there are being hurried forward with the utmost possible speed and will be afloat and ready for action very much earlier than was originally intended. We have known for some time that Russia was accumulat- ing at Vladivostock guns, stores, and men in numbers very largely in excess of her possible needs unless war were close at hand, or contemplated as probable. This last item of news confirm and com- pletes all the previous fragn, and gives them unity and colour. The day the first news of Russian Interference between China and Japan arrived in the colony we took leave to point out that it was the commencement of a duel à la mort between Russla, and Japan; that Russia had discerned a lion in her path in the newly risen strength of the Island Empire-with her programme of reform for both Korea and China-and that she would spare no pains to remove that obstacle and would stop at nothing to attain that end. We warned Japan that sooner or later she SPIRIT S. must fight Russia for her very existence or abandon all her ambitions, and we advised her, If she must fight, to enter on the inevitable contest sooner rather than later, that Russia was then ill-fitted for a severe contest in these waters and might then be tackled with some chance of success. Japan, prudently, if not wisely, has tried concessions, has bent submissively to the dictates of Russia and her Allies In surrendering her conquests on the main land and in fixing the amount of the indemnity to be paid. She hoped thus to

Nothing has come, so far, of the ballot In connection with the Sanitary Board and its composition, but we may reasonably hope that the Bill for its mutilation, the Arst reading of which stands adjourned sine dit, will never more be heard of, and that steps will be taken at an early date to fill up the vacant seats on the Foard. After the last disgraceful exhibition of ignorance and partisanship by the official Rump, even the Governor must see that the prolongation of the present state of affairs is highly undesirable. Meanwhile the Plague is progressing merrily. The weekly returns of cases Is slowly but steadily increasing, and the disease is no longer confined to the lowest and poorest classes of the Chinese, as it was in 1894. Another private of the Rife Brigade died. yesterday-the secord-and neither of the victims were employed on plague work. We hope the Director of Public Works is satisfied with the result of his experiments with the bullding material from Telpingshan and that the Government have realized the folly of the creation of a plague centre at Lai-chi-kok, on the very borders of the colony There have been, we are informed, over a hundred cases from that neighbourhood lately, and from there it is spreading all over Kowloon. We are told nothing of the proportion of deaths to cases, and yet, we belleve, the Government doctors are claiming a larger percentage of cures than in 1894. This plague question is, for the colony and colonists, a very serious matter. Our prosperity depends upon our shipping, and the heaviest taxes we could levy are as nothing compared with the burden which the incompetence of the sanitary authorities and the apathy and indifference of the Government are laying on the shoulders of shippers and shipowrers in the shape of liability to quarantine and to quarantine delays and expenses in all the ports with which we our merchants trade. How long are going to stand it ?
In connection with the general question of the insanitary state of the colony and the defects in our method of sanitary control there is the very important ques- ilon of overcrowding.
