THE NEW TREATY WITH JAPAN
Doubt About Its Ratification by Japan In
Its Present Shape.


| BOSTON, Nov. N.-The Herald will to-mor-
| row print the following special from its Japan
! correspondent upon the feeling in that country
! over the new treaty between Japan and the
| United States:
THAT American diplomacy has In this in
stance secured better terms than the European
powers have as yet obtained is not to be
doubted. Japan was willing to concede the
right OF resinence and OF proprietorship In
land by foreigners and the presence OF foreign
judges on the bench for a term Of years. The
United States was the first nation to come to
the point, and definitely accept this price.
The remaining powers have never signifled
that this price alone would satisfy them: but
Count Okuma boldly closed the bargain ana
trusted to tho force of circumstances to bring
the European powers into line. Events have
shown that. as to Germany. at least. he
reckoned rightly. England shows no Signs
of accepting the new covenant and to move on
without England's support is something which
no japanese statesman as yet dares to 90.
