RUSSIA AND JAPAN
TH EIR NAVAL STRENGTH.
As in the event oi war between Russia
and Japan the iirst shock of thg 99°. dict would probably take place on the ocean, much interest centres in the re. lative naval strength of the combatants. Th* ‘ami °‘*°'@ Ptfsls Us is contained in me dsiesga Daily News Year Book for 1903 and gives a compilation of ti:e ef-
fective nghting ships of the great navies
of the world. According to this auth arity the nueinbers and tonnage oi the Russian and Japanese navies are as below :
Russia JAPAN No Tons No Tons
Battleship lst class 20 240.478 6 85,20) Battleship2od class 6 55,315 1 7,430 Coast Defence 14 65,065 8 38,330 Armoured cruisers 6 58,~i5l 6 58,286 'Protectedcruisers lst 10 63,018 2 l0,Z10
2nd class 9 29,736-ll 41,890
il
Total 65-512.063 34-240.916
The number oi guns carried by these
ships are respectively, Russian 2.317; Japanese 838; of which those from 4 to 12 inch and over are, Russian 775; Japanese 348. _
Roughly speaking in number and ton-
Dl»8¢ 0! INDS and in guns heavy and light the Russian navy may be said to over weight the Japanese in the propor- tion ot more than two to one. Bug it is to he observed that Russia is by nature oi hersituation compel'ed to divide her nova] forces into three principal ileezs, one be- ing located in the Baltic, another in the
Black Sea or Mediterranean and the third onthe Pacino coast. The distance be- '5"°°l Ill! one ot th6l_¢ naval bases and '*“°°|W' is Nr! neat, so -that Rus-is °°’m°¢ ltilféeentbiinktobear even on

Of late Rus`sia has transferred _a portion of her Black Sea fleet to the ess' . but in view ot Dollible developments. with Britain as the ally of Japan and n possible combatant in the war. Russ°a cannot afford to further weaken .her
naval strength eitherjn the Baltic or the Black Sea. Her present strength on the Paciilc coast is not precisely known, but
mn haxdw be more than equal to that of Japan. `

Lord Alvexston was reported to have
given an intimatiod that the decision of the Boundary Tribunal would probably be adverse _to Canada. His denial of this slander was wired to Sir Wilfrid Laurier
yesterday.

The Patriot was really Mr McKinnon’s
worst enemy when it gave out three or more mont hs ago that he was about to settle the telegraph grievance. In thus raising hopes that were doomed to utter disappointment it rendered the sitting member a very ill service. Now it claims that although nothing practical has been effected. Mr McKinnon has done what he could.So at lastwe are leftto conclude that
there is no hope ot anything being accom- plished under the present Government in the oi telegraph reform.
