RIVALRIES IN ASIA.

The car fictiog interests of Russia and Eng. land in Asia cause constant speculation as to the chances of an armed struggle for supremacy la the East. This aspect of the Europeat war question does not excite so much public Interest As is occasioned by the conditions in the Con- tinent of Earoge, but its gravity in nover lost sight of by polliical writers.

The subject is discussed, from the anti-Ruislan point of view, by Karl Bind, in Lippincoll's

fagasins for February -

And I bad heard this remark several times in connectim with the present case.

The discussion about the German Army B New York Literary Digest, still occupies the most prominent place in the European political reviews. It is notewor'by that all the German witers deal with the war question in most ser jous fashion. Although, of course, German opinion as to the merits of the pending messure shows a wide range, there seems to be no dia sent from the view that the danger of war is always immitent, and that serious consideration of the war dy ger is one of the most practical, concerns of the day,

"Everywhere one hears the opinion freely expressed, that although Germany took France at a disadvantage in the last campaign, the latter has perfected her milltary organization D thoroughly that she will be victorious in the next war. The military measure in France, Inaugurated by Boulanger in 1886, and carried through by Freycinet in 1889, in somewhat modified form, was the most thorough measure ever enforced by any country, the first that really Involved universal military service, to the full extent that medern social conditions admit of,

Simultaneously a movement was begun fa Russia for rendering all the resources of that vast country available for war purposes; and now the numerical stength of the Russian Army, as is well known, considerably exceeds that of Germany.

"We are not bound to accept the conclusions el foreign nations, but they are deserving the meat careful consideration. That France has surpassed as in milltary preparations is Indis

putable, and any argument based on an assumed superiority in the quality of German troops and leaders is utterly unsellabic. As good pairiate, let us by all means cherish the sentiment, but there are no evidences la support of it.

"At the outbreak of the last war, Moltke laid great stress upon the fact that Germany could send F0,000 more men to the frontler than France could, and now France trains 43.000 men annually more than we do, and it is esti. mated by General Royaslovskil that France, at the close of 1801, had 42,000 more tralied soldiers than Germany.

nézed. Serakby was not to be touched. Merv was not to be Incorporated. Alohanistan was completely outside the sphere in which Russia intended exercising any influence. All thore promises are recorded. so many words. All were successively broken without compunction.

"Much of the strength of English rule reposca on the very contrasts among the population of her vas polyglot empire in Asia. "But with a powerful rival or enemy before its doors, these internal divisions among Indians may some day become a grest weakness for defence against no Aggressive and unrelenting despotte power which, if victorious, would step in with an oppressive milliary organisation, having a host of balf. civilized Cossack, Calmuck, Kirgise, and Tartar hordes auita relince, and an administration more corrupt than that of any Oriental tyrant.

"There is at least freedom of speech and freedom of the Press in India under English domluloa. The National Congresses' held every year, without hindrance, at Bombay,

Calcutta, Madran, for the sake of claiming parliamentary rights, are certainly proof of ́s degree of liberty which could not be dreamt of under the Government of the Czar for his own subjects. In Rassin, exile to Siberla would be the quick reply to bold spirits aiming at such reform.

"Considering this aspect of affairs, the ques ton of Russia's farther advance towards India becomes a very serious one. A hope can only be expressed that English stateamen, many of whom have so long misjudged the policy of the Muscovite autocrats, will, at the eleventh hour, "The passage of the present Military Bil wawake, to a full consciousness of the danger, and tend to the establishment of an equilibrium, for not allow the worst foe of all freedom to take France bas already strai ed her resources to the possession of the very bastions of India."
