The information'publish- ed in another colama concerning the immedia te sailing of the Fourth Baltic Squadron for these waters, will doubtless come as another great shock to the blind believer in and wor shippers of Japan.

The addition of three such battleships as the Paul L., the Slava and the Imperator Alexan der. 11. to Admiral Rodjenvensky's already powerful fleet will give him an overwhelming strength in battleships, which the redoubtable Togn, with his four, and at most five yar-worn ships of this class, dare not face in line of batile but will be compelled to dodge and seek to damage by mines, torpedo attacks, by wiles and stratagems.

Mr. Hays Hammond went on to call atten. tion to an important quotation from a recent speech of the President of the Japanese House of Peers, as follows:-
"The sacred duty is incumbent upon us as the leading State of Asiatic progress to stretch a helping hand to China, India, Koren, to all the Asiatics who have confidence in us, and who are capable of civilisation. As their more powerful friend, we desire them all to be free from the yoke which Europe has placed upon them, and that they may thereby prove to the world that the Orient is capable of measuring swords with the Occident on any
field of battle."
