The Situation.

LONDON, 10th January. According to trustworthy diplomatic in formation received (at dr from?) Peking, the Russian reply although conciliatory in tone, is unsatisfactory in substance. Japan desires further delay in order to complete her, preparations and therefore continues negotiations. The prospects of war before the spring continue very strong..

{Far Eastern Press Association.) The Crisis.

Tekio, 5th January. Japan is determined not to initiate-a-war with Russia. For months it has been claimed that Japan was the aggressor in the quarrel, and now the Mikado will show the world that he is for peace. But it will be difficult with the japanese in their present state of mind. They want to fight and fight now, before Russia get stronger in the Far East, and the ice breaks. up at Vladivostock.

'giatifying to observe that the United States, who may be called a sleeping partner of the Anglo-Japanesa agreement, bas so satisfactorily co-operated with the two allies. The Thibetan expedition from India may be a coincidence, but: cannot fail to be a diversion for Russia. As for the recent British purchase of two Chi lian battleships, it is not too much to say that Great Britain has unequivocally shown what her estimate is of the duties of an ally.

Altogether, the question with which Japan is how confronted is not one of war or peace, but is one of self-defence. Russia is no longer content with riding roughshed over Manchuria, but she is extending the sphere of her aggres- sive movement to Korea, the very threshold of Japan as a mansion. Russia has placed us in a position to ct. The general peace and welfare of the Far East demand of Japan the exertion of the power of self-defence and the whole world must appreciate her action. We have every reason to believe that the Tokyo Government will by no means betray the con-

fidence reposed in them by our august Emperor and his subjects, one and all.

This bout created immense amusement in the hall owing to the attitude. of Cooke, whose style, if so it can be called, was a mixture of the Grimaldi and Dan Leno school of pantomime acting, In his extraordinary antics he resembled the former and seemed to ape the latter in the grinning grimaces he made at his opponent. Cooke has certainly a great future before him if he elects to grace the boards as a comedian when he leaves the Service.

In the first round Cook opened with a left on Crane's neck and the men got in close and ivent at it hammer-and-tongs. Cooke threw all the accepted theories to the winds and fought sometime on the left leg sometimes on the

THE STRATEGIC ASPECT OF

KOREA.

A correspondent sends to the Morning Post some reflections on the position of Russia and Japan, in the course of which he states

Above and beyond the heavy commercial and political stake it is the strategic aspect of Korea that most concerns Japan. It is with us," said an eminent Japanese statesman, “no statesman's policy; it is with us the settled pur pose and the burning passion of a people." Here, obviously, is one of those primal and inexorable forces that cannot be guided, that can scarcely be restrained, by any statesman. slip. And if you find an equally uncontrol- Iable force advancing from the opposite direc tign, to predict the certainty of a clash between the two is not to rank oneself-with the alarm ists." But can it, as a matter of fact, be said that the Russian expansion over Northern Asia represents such a force? I do not think that anyone who has studied the history and character of that expansion-as irrepressible, spontaneous, almost unconscious in its begin nings as the instinct which drove the English to plant their co'onies by every sea-will besi- tate long for an answer. If through this move- ment one can detect the thread of any high political motive it is the legitimate one of find ing an outlet to the water. What limits can be set to its colossal march? None that I know of until nature of a stronger Power marks out the frontiers. The absorption of Korea is to Russia simply the next, and in that direction the last strike onwards in her Imperial progress a culmination she can no more avoid than she can resist the lure that drags her towards the Persian Gulf. To suppose that the Russian advance is fixed in perpetuity on the Manchurian border is to suppose all Rus sian history a lie: And, in this case what instinct prompts poffey confirms.

A JAPANESE VIEW

OF THE SITUATION.

In the. New Year issue at the semi-official Tokyo Kokumin Shimbun a brief review of the recent diplomatic situation, by way of enunciat ing Japan's standpoints thereagent is given

Our claims are only fair and reasonable, as

vations from the outset, says the journal. The Tokyo Government have sincerely aspired to peace and spared no efforts in order to We wan ensure an amicable settlement. peace-peace properly obtained with honour, do not care to see peace at any sacrifice. What we wish to settle in the pending negotiations principally refers to Man churia, as, in our view, Korea ought to belong to our exclusive sphere of influence. unnaturally, the existing difficulty has been labelled "The Manchurian Question," but the real key of the situation is Korea. The Manchurian question would probably never have arisen, or if it had arisen would never have attained its present acute form but for the supplementary importance of Korea. This is a point which it is well that every student of the pro- blem should bear in mind. Viewed in this light, Russia's illegal pressure of fate in Korean affairs. is most regrettable. Certainly, Russia's arbitrary interference in the Peninsula can only have been made with a view to creating an osten- sible casus belli for Japan. In the meantime, Japan is taking no chances, but has com- pleted her preparations see that she will be able to act at the shortest notice. War is too horrible to be ligtly encouraged, but it would be unpardonable neglect and breach of responsibility, if our authorities concerned failed to be in perfect readiness for the worst, in view of the present most grave condition of affairs. At the outbreak of the Japan-China War in 1894, most foreign observers thought that financial difficulties would finally defeat Japan, but such a prophesy proved only

fallacious.

Now Japan's finances are, on quite a different footing. Contrary to a recent rumour abroad, Japau has no direct intention of raising any new loan in the foreign market. of late, we have received such offers more than
