CHICAGO , Nov. 2. 'll have Just been
3ver the road from Moukden to Shank-Wan
and It Is ag perfect as Rver. Not only that ,
ut the road affords ] every facility for the
passing ot troops In yfnfcr from. Corea to
the great wall near J'eklng , " said Hev.
Maurice J. Walker to a reporter at the
Windsor. Mr. Walker 'Has ' been stationed In
north China by the English government for
he last nine years and Wan passing through
Chicago on bis way \o \ London to make his
report. Row John , K. IUbson , a missionary
"rom Tien-Tien , accompanied him. They loft
? cklnir about n month afeo. * *
iSpenklns of tha waft ' < Mf. Walker ftald :
'Japan was obliged to qngage In 'foreign ' ware
o prevent a repetition of the revolution ot
.871 In her domain. For yoara she has been
preparing lierselt. Not only that , but she
has carefully laid out her campaign In China.
For over a year draughtsmen and photo
graphers have traversed every part of China
until the topography of the country is belter
known today In Toklo than In Peking. The
Japanese commanders know that the corre
spondents make a mistake when they say
that winter will close the campaign , I have
been over the road at lloukdon nt all afta-
; ons ot the year. It Is Impassable only In the
'all ' and sprlnc. In winter it Is In perfect
condition. 1C the Japanese- can crosa the
country before cold weather and capture
Moukden , which is the key to the whole
situation , the conquest Is thelra. The500
miles ot good road from Moukden to the
great wall at 3hatik-\Yan can be covered
within a month.

SHANGHAI , Nov. 2 , Two Japanese war
ililps were Blgh'ed oft AVel-Hal-WcI on Sun
day last , and the Chinese licet went out In
pursuit. Not finding the enemy , the Chinese
fleet returned and left Wel-Hal-Wcl again on
Wednesday last , Its destination unknown.
The only foreigners with the fleet are two
engineers and two gunncri.
Small bodies oC Chinese have attacked sev-
T.-il Russian frontier ( owns , and In one case
lelzcd a quantity ot arms and ammunition.
n -another case the Chinese were repulsed
ivlth a loss of sixty men.

The probable future policy of the Germai
Government Is now a more burning questloi
than that ot the cause of the break-up o
the ministry. The emperor has called to th
chancellorship an old statesman , who ha
been a faithful public servant , but whos
age makes It unlikely that he will care t
stand out strongly for any measura of hi
own. Ills Ufa ot obedience to tbe orders o
a superior ( Ut him foe becoming a wllllni
Instrument In tha bands ot the emiicroi
That Is what Caprlvl lias beeu to a larg
extent , and It l whit the emperor wishes
It Is plain enough that there Is fear 1
Germany that the emperor will ba more thi
over an autocrat. If It Is to , there are inter
cstlnc times ahead. Ho has Idea * In plenty
and koine of them are sensible. It la ver
doubtful If he will be BO unwise a to bl
tempt to put down the socialists with
heavy hand. If ho docs he will find hlmse
la hot water , for the German socialists ar
little more than an advanced liberal part ]
If their platforms truly 'express their prlr
clplei ,
For a longtime It nil been constderc
a necessity , not alvvaya admitted , to keep tl :
British fleet of tha came slza as the Frenc
and Russian navies , combined. The rece :
naval activity In Ilussta and France h
therefore , been causing the English autho ;
( lies no Illtlo uncnslncsi. It l Mid that to
Increlio the English navy is no menaca to
either Franco or Russia , simply bccaug * n
fleet alone , however superior , cannot Seriously
Injure either ot the powers , though It might ,
of course , cause much annoyance nnd possl-
bla financial exhaustion In the end. On the
other hrtnd , for Prancd to begin a new b.UUo-
shlp is regarded as a distinct threat against
England a route to India. The French set
tlement In Madagascar Is not looked upon as
a commercial one , but rather as a military
one , threatening England's capp route. What
would be the outcome ot Great Urltaln's being
unable lo cope- with Ilussla and Franca on
the tea Is described by n eminent English
authority , who , In commenting on the likeli
hood of the present Rusilan uncertainty leadIng -
Ing to war , says : "The serious Illness ot one
ot the most Important rulers of the world
may teen remove one of the chief guarantees
of peace ; the succession to his dominions
might very conceivably drift back Into the
uncertainty which It so long retained nftcr
Hie strict hereditary rule was established
elsewhere. Let a. ttrong man or woman with
a weak title ascend the throne of the czars
and war Is likely , and from what war Is
there less to fear or more to hope than a
contest against England ? From England
alone , what have Hussla and France to fear ,
at the worst ? Blockaded coasts , some mer
chant vessels captured , some Ironclads sunk ,
a few forts burned , n tew expensive colonies
ar convict stations taken , What have they
to hope ? Limitless plunder , Indemnities "be
yond the dreams of avarice , " revenge for past
defeats , and the lordship ot the east. With
such a possibility continually before her , I3ng-
land's reason for maintaining the above ratio
In tha size ot her navy can bo readily recog
nized , and at the present time It Is being
urged on her authorities as absolutely obli
gatory.

It la well for Brazil that President Polxoto'a
rule la to come to an end soon , Tlio civil
war which lasted during one-half of his term
has left bitter memories behind It , and ho Is
an object ot hatred to a large part of the pop
ulation , IIo Is thoroughly disliked by the
navy , which took the lead In the revolt
against him , lie has exercised his authority
In ways not consistent with republicanism.
IIo ha * Interfered with the rights of several
of the states , more especially vttth those ot
the Important state of Illo Grande do Sul , In
which the rebellion Is yet smouldering. He
hss been Inordinately profuse In expenditures.
Ho haa exercised undue severity against tha
factions opposed to him. He has repeatedly
set himself up against congress. While he
has given Brazil a pretty strong admlnlstra-
'on , It would be folly to sptak of that ad-
lulBtratlon. us good , or aa liberal , or as
road-minded , or as economical , or as popu-
ar. The president-elect , Dr. Moraos , will as-
umo office free from the disadvantages which
ave been a source of weakness to President
'elxoto. ' He la a man of honorable repute ,
if pacific disposition , ot judicial mind nnd
ixporlcnce. ot nn excellent name In the clla-
urbed history ot Brazil , Ills assumption ot
lllco will very surely bo promotlvo of peace ,
s wo may Infer from the fact that the small
odlos of rebels- yet In the field have promised
o lay down their arms as soon ai he shall
nter upon the duties of the presidency.
Princess Allx of Hesse , who Is lo become
mpress of Russia , deserves the congratula-
lena of liberal people In all parts of the
'orld ' , If the report concerning her In ( he
Creuz Zeltung of Ilerlin bo true. It Is said
.hat she has been so persistent In her re-
usal to denounce her old religious belief In
cccptlng the teachings of the Greek church
.hat the- Russian holy synod has decided that
t will not be necessary for her to do more
han declare that she Joins the Greek church
n order to be of the same faith with her
uture husband , the czarewltcb. For ser
ral months reports have appeared to the
ffect that the ministers of the Greek church
( voro finding It dlfllcult lo convert the prin
ts , because she refused to see the error In
ier old belief. When a person has entered
ho church it has been necessary for himto
eclaro his former religion to bo accursed
.nd bis conviction that the truth lies not In
Is old faith but In the new. This the prln-
: es3 would not do , even for reasons of slate ,
o for state reasons the church has waived
U formula and she Is lo be allowed to be-
: ome a member In her own way.

The financial condition ot Italy Is as bad
.8 over. Parliament meets soon and Pre-
iler Crlspl must report to It that there have
cen no gains during the year , and that there-
will bs a deficit of at least ? IG,000,000 to bo
irovlded for. Nor can ho point to any of
IB promises ot economy as fulfilled. He
ivn3 going to cut down the superabundant
lerlcal forceIn the executive departments ,
ul there has been such a protest from those
ntcrMted to preserve the present order of
hin 3 that nothing has been doneThe
.rmy and navy appropriations have not been
nd will not bo reduced , If Crlspl can have
\3 \ will , and so the task of finding a way to
meet the Impending deficit Is harder by far
, han It was a year ago. Then certain ccon
mles were promised and new taxes levied ;
on- still moro economies are outlined to save
5,000,000 , and additional taxes threatened
.o extort $3,000,000 to (10,000,000 more from
n Impoverished people. It remains to be
een how Parliament will receive this pro
; ram.
Next to the Imperial chancellorship the
( lice of governor ( or statthalter ) ol Alsace
.orralne Is probably the most important post
n the administration of the German emplro.
n the hands of Prince von Hohenlohe-Schlll
ngsfurst , who has just been made Impsrlal
ihancellor. the position of stntthalter of the
Relchslaml developed into a condition of < ll
Ity and semi-Independence comparable with
hat of the viceroy ot India. The appoint
ment ot Prince von Hohenlohe-Langenburg ,
ho head of the elder branch of tha same
ouse to- which the new chancellor belongs ,
s statlhaltcr Is , therefore , n matter ot some
Ignlflcancc' . The recent governor of Alsace-
.orralne had become very popular With the
nhabltants of the conquered provinces for
he even-handed Justice ot his ruin. The new
tatthalter la known to be neither a reaction
1st nor an Iron-fisted administrator , and he
will probably continue the conciliatory policy
t his predecessor.
