THE COREAN WAR.
The victory gained by the Japanese over the Chinese as reported in our cablegrams of to day, appears to have been a decisive one. The slaughter was immense and the amount of valuable booty secured will in the near future no doubt be turned to good account by the victors. Notwithstanding, however, the success which has •o far followed the Japanese both on land and sea, we still hold the opinion that the enormous wealth and population of China must in the end prevail. The resources of th<e Japanese are limited, while those of the Chinese are practically boundless. The Japunooe ;unn lor man are better soldiers than the Chinese, and more skilled in the use of the modern weapons ot war, but in the end numbers must prevail. The best plan to adopt now would be to make good terms for themselves while they have the power to dictate, them and China is in the mood to accept them.
