Sane View as to Manchooria.

The London Spectator frankly admits that Russia will have Manchooria, and that everybody knows it. Such being the case, it deprecates the bellicose tone of the Asiatic correspondents. It -advises Englishmen to admit once for all that they cannot drive Russia out of Manchooria by force, and that nothing will ever cause the Czar’s soldiers to evacuate the province. Russia is as much a fixture in Manchooria as England is in Egypt. The Russian government will go on declaring that this is merely a temporary occupation for the purposes of self-protection, but the Spectator says

(Democratic Candidate for Mayor of Chicago.) the thing to do now is to recognize the truth of the matter and attend to securing a commercial “open door.” This is a plain and sensible statement of the actual situation.
