INSPECTOR BAKER DISMISSED,

In this industrial age the greatest pcurity for the maintenance of peace between the leading nations is the growth of inter- national commerce. The iuw was par forward some time ago in ite usual clear manner by the Spectator, which pointed out the immense riske suy power incurs that Eces to war now, as compared with the conditions existing in previous ages. While ou the whole this assurance must be accepted as a boon to humanity it may under some circumstances make the debtor unduly arrogant. Of this we have an instance in au article which appears in the San Francisco Chronicle of the 21st July, in reply to one in the Morning Pt mark ing out a course of offensive action for Great Britain in the event of war with the United States. To be successful Great Britain, according to the Posi, would have to achieve four things, namely, drive the United States navy off the sra, protect its own ocean trade, blockade the American const, and make good the land defence of Canada. Each of these projects the Chronicles hold at the British Naval Hospital, before At Yokohama, on the 9th August, an inquest declares an impossibility, and having de H.B.M.'s Assistant Jidgo, Mr. James Troup, monstrated this to its own satisfaction, con- sitting as Coroner, open the body of Robert cludes as follows:-"On the whole there is fall from the ship's boons through an swaing was the outcome of a private ingairy held by Owen, au abis roman on H.1.8.

Apart from the question of the indemnity that the Chronicle so airily filches from investors in American securities it may be interesting to note what our contemporary has to say on the prospects of a struggle between the two powers, a struggle that wa hope will never come, though we are net sure that the racial tios that exist between them afford the security against-sach- an event that is generally supposed. Tho states of the Union resorted to arme to settle a dispute amongst themselves and they would not be deterred by sentimental con- giderations from resorting to the same. arbitrament for the settlement of a dispute with great Britain if they thought the occasion called for it.
