ASIA. England or Russia---Which ‘ Shall Rule the Continent ? Imp%rtamt Advance of Russia—From the Caspian Sea to China—The Policy of England. Lonpon, Dec, 2, 1872. The vastness of the British Empire has some dis- ‘Advartages, one of which is that the government and the people of the mother country, engaged by questions in one part of the Empire, are very apt to forget equally important questiona in another part. Whilc the Ballot bill occupies all minds at home a revolution may be silently preparing in India; while India is engrossing attention Austra- lia may be passing through a most eventful crisis; a@ndso on. Of course agreat safeguard against ‘this and other dangers is that the colonies should be taught to take care of themscives in place of leaving that task to the mother country, already overborne by the many home questions demanding Its attention ; and to this policy of making the colo- faies more and more self-dependent public opinion 4g more and more tending every day and 1s indi- cated by the recent article on Canada in the Times, quoted in your issue of November 19. But there are some dependencies of England in @hick this policy of developing the native wer of self-government and self-defence yet with any safety be applied. India Js one of these dependencies. India, if it is to be Kept, must be ruled aespotically for a tong time to come; itis 9 child, ready to rebel at every moment, wi to be coustantly Watched by its gist: dian, the government of England. And India is ponsequentiy the country where English interests Bre most likely to suffer detriment irom the pre- ion or the carelessness of the government Qt home. In the opinion of some people a very im- Rees it instance of this neglect of home interests Bory recently occurred. Every one knows that the only two European wers which have really any foothold in Asia are id and Russia. Now, when the tuture of is discussed, the very first question sug- ted to the mind is, Shall Russia or England be he mistress of the Continent, or shall they hold it jointly in subjection? ‘This momentous question as been brought prominently beiore our notice by. recent events. Up to the last few years the country known “ HINESE TARTARY Pore entirely saben to the Chinese Empire. A jolent religious policy was, by some cause or Dther, excited among the Mussulman subjects of ‘the Celestial Empire. A very brave and Bole chieftain, Yakoob Bey—one be jose = eXtraordinary men made to a great movement—put himself ea the head of the repels; and the result is that a w, independent kingdom has been formed, with ‘akoob Bey as King. Yakoob Bey has shown that 12 possesses the abilities of the statesman no less those o! the warrior. The Chinese rule is not B very beneficent one, and the effect of the exchange in Chinese ‘turtary from government by China to Faas by Yakoob Bey is described as very remarkable. Now Kashgar, the kingdom of ‘akoob Beg, is the extreme western point of the hinese Empire, and almost touches the northern rt of India, Between the confines of Russia, at he southern point where it leaves Europe, and ashgar are a number of feeble governments, Khanates, It needs but a glauce at the map ff Asia to see the immense importance of the tract wf land lying between Russia and Kashgar. ‘A lime drawn through this tract would imos¢ bisect Asia. And the importance of this Tact Of country is as great in a commercial as ina itary eee. The people are very anxious to Europ goods, and in these districts, ‘here humanity warms and where the most [beige fl resources can be obtained at a small rice’ from people ignorant of their value, the an dealer would be able not only te sell a Barge quantity of his goods, but also to sell them at price. much being said about this tract, let us now é the different limes of policy adopted by the two juropean rivals for the domination of Asia. Russia began with the Khanates. Of these Khanates there sare three—Bokhara, Khokund and Khiva. Russia fae gt Bppkund and noeeare that its merchants yjand their goods should be allowed to pass into through the Khanates free of duty. tes refused. Russia promptly sent ar eos inst the unwise sovereigns, and in @ short if the Khanates had been added to the rMitory of Russia, and the other half was allowed be retained on ‘the humullating condition that he scyeroigns should be subject to the Czar.

So much for the conduct of the two | a. ernments with regard to the Khanates. for their conduct with to the new king- iom of Kashgar. When oob Bey had estab- himsel! firmly upon the throne, one of his rat acts was to make some advances toward form- 7 apolitical and commercial alliance between his territory and the British govermment in India. ‘With these views he despatched an embassy to Calcul asking the British government for its Mcvanip and. for, the favor of visit irom ritish oMcer. In reply to these offers the ritish government sent Mr. Forsyth, @ distin- ember of the civil service, to the court of But, unfortunately, when Mr. For- pyth ye he found that Yakoo! ) Bey was absent, having gone to sukdue some troublesome neighbors ‘on the eastern frontier of his territories, Mr. For- gyth’s instructions were to stay a certain length of time in Kashgar, and that Ee had elapsed be- jore the iets eo Renee dl The Ministers of who had Forsyth with the respect and no! cated entreated him to say, until Yakoob’s return; but Mr, sete re fused, and went back to India without ha the Lg abet of Kashgar. This first defeat an not abate the ’s desire for an alliance with Eng- dand, for, immediately after his return he sent a Becond Ambassador to India—a man oi royal blood = of very high character among his people. And the matter rested for some time. RUSSIAN POLICY. Meanwhile Russia had Chee what an im- mensé advantage it would be to have tree entrance for her merchants into Kashgar and through Kash- into. China. Russia accordingly treated ‘akoob Bey ina Sey oy different manner from that wards England, Instead of wait- fing for a Peay: eey sent one to him, and the result is that acommercial treaty has been con- ‘cluded between Yakoob Bey and the Ozar of Russia, nd thus in the line from the Caspian Sea to the Trontier of the Chinese Empire Russia meets with [ais oe States which are subject or irendly to WHAT IS THE CONSEQUENCE TO ENGLAND? On the one hand, her merchants are put out o: o eign portant market by the sagacity of the government. This isthe direct effect of Fecent events; but are not the indtrect effects much more important ? Rassia is now on the threshold of China. Now, whatever their differ- ences in other respects, China and Russia are anited ou the one pomt of hatred to England. Unaer these circumstances, do not recent events point to a@ future danger to the supremacy ‘of English trade in China? And, then, the loss of pre: nd that in a continent where prestige may be said to be literally everything! For wnat but prestige can enable the 200,000 Eaglish in India pad ond in subjection a population of 100,000,000 of oor are the views which one would naturally be to find expressed in the English journals; et, to your astonishment, you discover that the sgntimenits expressed by the Times, the leader of the English, are exactly the very reverse of those you expected. The advance of Russia is a ‘thing net to be feared or mourned over, English- men ought rather either look upon 1t cally or even rejoice over such an occurrence, is what English journals say. That 1 do not exaggerate ‘the tone of the Times you may see from some ex. tracts wen Itake froman article that appeared on thi jon a few days agu:—“There never Ama, ’ the article begins, “when the advance Russians in Central sia Was more discussed Sot im England and India than at present; but it bah to remark that there now appear most of what is said or Da en on von wn pi our own borders and & ne porers ition bye them bia were not to oom ta former tim * * * The tone of dis- ‘cussion is ‘more Gignined, and though it is not dis- bled that Le ble political rivalry, if not a hostility, may bein store for us in the next eration, yet the spirit in which the events of je future are regarded, even by those who fore- diMouities, 1s one of precaution, not of panic.” ‘ou see the entire tenor of these remarks is the ry reverse Of an alarmist—it is cheerful end self- Nonfdens.

To the minds of this more jealous class there is something which argues baseness and degeneracy in placarding humanitarian senti- Ments in lace of an aggressive military empire.” ‘So far as one can see, the party that wishes for active opposition to Russia in Centra! Asia is be- coming daily smaller, “Fortly yourself well behind the Himalaya Mountains, reconcile the people to your rule, and you need not tear for India,’ that is the tone now most in favor. Whether this be really the wise and safe way of dealing with the advunce of Kussia, time must be left to show. SKATING. neces The Skating Question—The “Fancy Fel- low” Ri to Explain and Tells “Plain Skager' What He Knows, New York, Dec. 16, 1872. To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— That my letter upon “The Skating Question” should elicit areply was expected; but that it should emanate from one who is 80 completely misinformed of the desires of the good skaters I am surprised, “Plain Skater’ says, “I happen to know that the ‘fancy fellows’’ petition to the Commissioners re- lates simply to the securing of a portion of one of the two lakes. They did not ask for one of the lit- tle out-of-the-way ponds.” Allow me, in all kind- ness, to say to this benighted ‘Plain Skater” that he don’t “happen to know," and if he will call upon the Commissioners and soars, they will convince him that he is laboring under a delusion. The application was made by members of the two only skating cluvs in the city for a place to be de- voted to good skaters within the limits of the Park. A gentleman connected with the department pro- posed to the Board that they should be granted the use of the upperend of the Filth avenue and Fifty-ninth street pond, which has not been used for the past two skating season the only “duck pond,’ except the curlers’ pond, in the Park, and which would have been entirely poueaatory to the applicants. Will ‘‘Plain Skater’’ tell me that this is depriving any one of Shormentt Or will he or any other person kindly inform me of the position ofany other “duck pond”? in the Park, that the pro- ficient skaters may apply for the same and be thus enabled to enjoy their skating in peace? ‘The adoption of the title -lancy skater” was in- evitable, although distasteful, rendered so by the forced classification of the reporter ; but allow me to say that nothing is so obnoxious to the ears of a proticient or accomplished skater as the titles “champion skater” and “professional,” and during the years that I have been before the public as skating editor nothing can be tound of my writing concerning this class save deprecation of these properly called “fancy” skaters, If it 1s supposed that lain of that class, as thus understood, ‘Plain Skater” isin error. But the ‘fancy skaters” are greatly in the minority, and it is only that class who seck cheap popularity and subsequently money by bi exhibitions of themseives. Our best skaters avoid the crowds, but, strive as they may, they cannot do it upon the Park ponds at present. “Plain Skater” says, “What would have been said of them”—the curlers—‘it they had asked to have a portion of the big lakes not aside for their exclusive use?” In this he is again speaking un- knowingly, for the curlers did exactly what he says, and occupied a portion of one of the large ponds several seasons. What next? Let our “plain” friend tell us where are the ‘several little ponds” which the good skaters ‘can get tor the mere asking,” and allow me to say to him that a little thoug! Yt will tell him that “if each good skater’? wag proficient there would be more unt- formity of skating, and the ponds would accommo- date more people instead cf, as he states it, et ly “plain” friend studiously avoids the ques- tion concerning the lady skaters, Whyt ‘his ‘was one reason why the application was made. Can any one tell me of any man of tamily who bags a ‘without trepidation, allow his daughter to eg the Park, especially when he is informed hat the police force, upon the ponds is smaller even than last year? And when deprived of la- dies, wilt be teil me what will become of the popu- larity of skating ? To conclude with “Plain Skater,” his remark that ‘when they go to Rome they should do as the Romans do” can only be interpreted thus:—That it is Wrong for accomplished skaters to skate well, because the majority do not, thus offering the laurel tor gc brow ol ignorance. Now, Mr. Editor, fight this question as they may, t it ‘ident that the evils mentioned in my letter must be corrected, or our ponds will be, as durin; the past mad ears, gradually deserted by our bes! People. tet finarenan tel who are eee “the greatest noea to the greatest number,’’ “Vox Populi” as meaning, not Te voice of “pl people. ben of Cee "people as well, and ae Let me, therefore, suggest that ir our nr doston, ti friends, from whom I would not detract one iota, are worthy of consideration, our proficient aters certainly deserve some hordes barbarism to at This is, of mnerous and philanthropic motive ; privilege, especially as it by far the most meu sport of the two, as weil as bein: ¢ most healthful and enjoyable. Give us skating room eno’ by making more ponds in the vast expanse of the Park, not because ‘Plain Skater” or my equally plain seif say the ponds are overcrowded, but because it is the voice of the people. Verbum sat sapitentt. MARVIN R. CLARK. An Old Park Skater Tells His Story—He Objects to the “Fancy Fellows’” De- mands. New York, Dec. 17, 1872. To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— As this question seems to be agitating the minds of the skating fraternity I deem it my duty, as an almost constant haditué of the Park since skating was inaugurated there, of making a few re- marks in reply to the letter of Mr. Marvin R. Clark, who seems to think that “fancy skaters” have mo privileges. It 1s quite the con- trary. Your reporter, 1 think, thorenghty under- stands the object of these fancy men in trying to get part of one of the lakes for their exclusive use. Almost every one familiar with the sport must have noticed the pains that “fancy skaters” take in showing off their proficiency whenever there is any one to look at them, and all old skaters must remember how unpopular the Ladies’ Pond used to be. There was always a crowd around the fancy boys, and the consequence was large cracks and the ice tull of water. Even the good skaters then were not satisfied, but would come out on the large pond with the people—and why? Because they found better ice, could gratify their vanity more and nave plenty of room for plain skating. Mr. Clark says the public are indebted to the “fancy fellows” for what they know about skating. ‘That is very true. I don’t think these skaters are a selfish class, but if they have a pond exclusively to themselves how are the public going to learn to skate? He also says that no 08 skater can visit the Park ponds, especially if it be a lady, without hear- ing vwigar and obscene remarks. That ts the ex- ception, and uot the rule. I have skated there ever since the Park opened, and I don’t think there is @ spot in existence where such numbers congre- gate that you see so many orderly and weil be- haved people.
