TWO MORE TORPEDUED A Russian guard ship and an- other warship are said to have een torpedoed on Sunday at Port Arthur. Ashort time ago The London Daily In view of these “excursions and alarms," it may be well to recall the course of events in the Far East during -the past low years. On July 31, 1&4, war was formally declared by Japan against lighting by land and sea went steadily ln favor of the J apanese,who, indeed,carried all before them. In May, 1895, the treaty of Shimono seki, negotiated by Ll Hung was ratified, and brought peace asbe- ‘breairIng~up of China, as it were called at the time, there began a scramble by the powers ior territory. Japan, under pressure from Russia, France and Germany, relinquished Port Arthur and the tcrrilory she had occupied on the mainland. Germany was the first of China's disinteres‘ed protectors to profit hy her weakness. The murder f two German missionaries in Shang-Tung gave Germanyn pretext for landing it force ot Kino-Chau in November 1897, and demanding mining and railway privileges in the Shung-Tung Province. Prince Henry of Prussia was sent to Ohinnincommand of a German bittle' ship, as the Emperor expressed it, to strike with his “mailed dst," if necessary. Then on December 18, 1897, there appear ed an official apnouncement which herald- ed much. It was that the Russian fleet, by permission of China, would winter at Port Arthur. On February 22, 1893, come the news that the Chinese Government all the inland waters, and undert xken_not to nllonnte to any foreign power territory in ihe basin of the Yangtse Klana. Inl March there was a report that Russia had demanded the surrender by Ohina of all sovereign rights over Port Arthur and T-allen-wan, on the same terms as had already been granted to Germany in re- gard to Kina-Chau. Nex', ihe world heard Lhat Chinn had practically handed over the peninsula to Russia, and had fthe Trans Manchurian Railway The xcltement caused in England about this time will not readily be forgotten. On April 2, 1898, it became known that Eng- land had been given u lease of Wei-l:ai- wel. The first act of a prolonged drama had tnus been the war intween China and Japan, the second the scramble for territory following it, and thlrdly, in the summer of 1900 came the “Boxer” rising. es ge _ e e ron go on August 14, and entered the “Forbidden City" on the 17th/§About the middle of by the allies were accepted; gradually matters grew quieter, and the Chinese Court, which had lied, returned to Pekin. The visit ol the Marquis Ito England, early last year, heralded another event having fnmesching effects, namely, the ohurla, and completed her railway from the Baltic to the Yellow Sea. Her ap- parent inteniicn to-extend her operations to Korea, al well as her failure to cur-ry out repeated pledges to "evacuate" Man- churia on October li, has praduced the existing tension with Japan.
