A secret treaty has recently been con
summated between the Governments OF
China and Japan, the two soyereigns
having bound themselves not To form
an alliance with any foreign power
against each other, but on the con-
trary, TO use their mutual endeavors TO
secure for each other reparation for any
indignity or injustice suffered at the hands
Of any Christian powers. a remarkable
feature OF this treaty is that the Chinese
Government, for the first time in its his
tory, gave up voluntarily its assumed SUI
periority. and treated with the co-signa-
tory power on terms Of equality.
