~THE TRUTH ABOUT THE MA

Kanab, 6th March. The Changhe newspapers in dealing with the Mabommedan rébellion in Kanigh "excoed, by a little the gravity of the events, Thin oliastion te pessimism, however, is only to be 'attributed to the Kanauh, oiledále themselves,
who have particular reasons for sending erag.. gorated reports to Peking in order to get more soldiers; more honours, and principally more money from the Central Government. The chief commander Tung-Fub-siang is at Ho abow, where the Mahommedans hava baen «lis- porse.

RUSSIAN ACTION IN KOKEA
The alleged fact of Korea having despatshed Sei Kinu to Russia with the object of borrow ing tight milions of dollars from the Russian Government plodging the procines "af" Ham-" kinng with Gensan and Fort Lazaroli na močne rity, would be another move in the direction of. establishing a Bresias protesterais over Kernă.
This advance has long been regarded-na in: evitable by those bost acquainted with the zlake of Koros, and far from being hostile to the intor. esta of the other European powers, it is emi- zenth to be desired on behalf of these untic.
Events have proved the Korvan Government to be unable to fozare peace in their restioan and cbulent country, and the Japanesé bare shown neither great power of administration nor tast in their management of Korea. It would there. fore ben victory for civilization if Russia, in her endeavour to inake Southern Siberis, valk by gaining scoess to the open waters of the Yellow Sea, could find mbang of posussing hor- suif in a pearoful way of Kores. "Hitherto the oonammation of this object his seemed almiog impossible without first going to war with Japan; but by divesting the transaction of a political moment and by giving it a strictly Avancial alaracter, Busaiu kas now provided against any objections which could be raised by foreign powers..
The occupation of Kores would no doubt be a violation of former treaties and promises, but precedente of similar non-observan có of treaties Are so numerong that in this instanco Rengin would break no rale either of morality or of ordinary international otiquette France did the same thing procisely when, sho econpied Tunis, thinking horself highly virtuous a doing so, and England does not show ang inclination to evacuate Egypt.:
The uollon that the Russian Bag in Kora would destroy or evon diminish the prospects. of foreign trade is opposed to all experience. Baropean, occupation devolopa now wants in papalous countries witness, the British trade with Tonkin as an Indo-Chinese state com pared with British tendo there now that it is a French colony. The new warts in Korea will in the and be supplied by all the industrial countries alike. What will be really dangerous to the prospects of Entopoun and American trade is the avoidable competition of Japan. It has been justly suit that n-factory in Tokyo will take more wealth out of the hands of
foreign manufacturers and merchants than a battery at Chenssit or Chemulpo.
Their reregine but one argument in favour of resistance to the alleged Russian project. It is that this project would compel the states baring interests to defend in the Far East-to-spend money on strengthening their fleste. This is trus enough; but the cost of a war with Hussla would be far greater; and had Japan grained a permanent foothold in Korea the doots of European powers must still hare been strength. |
aned.
It seems to es that the policy of the European stafas should be clear où Korean matters. Terms should be made with Bussia, and every opportunity given hor of opening up Siberia and Koces. It is moustrous to expock Hussia, with half a contingat on her bacds, to put up for ever with no other outlet to the sen than an ice-bound port like Vladivostock. So for from regarding the Russia advance in Korea with jealousy, the European powers ought to make the attainoant by Russia of that end one of the objects of their own policy,Chefoo Expres.
