It has been stated on numerous occasions late ly, and on tho best of authority, that the battle-torn tleet bottled up in the harbor ot the Port would make uo fur ther attempt to escape, until the last hope of relief or holding out had gone. rCARS AN AMERICAN PLOT. European Statesmen Dcllcvcs She lias Designs on Trade. Palis, Oct. 7. Some European statesmen are seriously oncerned for the economic future ot Europe. Cer tain among them, see, or fancy they see, a deep-laid scheme on the part of the United States for abtorbing the commerce of Asia, and appear to think the moment has arrived to issuo a seri ous note of warning. Today M. Melin, ex-prime minister and leader ol the French Protectionists, sounds an alarm in the Republique Francaise in an article entitled "Tho United States in Asia." M. Melin says no mistake should be made by Europe. He says it is in the direction ot tho Far East America is evidently turning its commercial am bition. England, he says, will prefer to throw itself into the arms of the great American republic, which is close to her and may render her service. In conclusion M. Melin says: "One cannot refrain from rather melancholy reflections on the commer cial and economic future of old Europe. The more her industry increases that much more her machinery improves, and the more her warehouses are cram med with goods, Just so much the more restricted and narrow her expansion abroad becomes. She now finds herself in the presence of a giant, who, with mighty Japan, is taking away her cus tom. After having seized a portion of that of South America, the giant la now preparing to deprive her of that of the Yellow races, which is tho most important in the world. The issue promises to leave to Eurpe the negroes of the Soudan and the vast regions ot Africa, but until that proves profitable poor Europe will have time to slew in her own Juice."
