ror of Japan and the privy council
Coming AT the present time the sign
ing OF the treaty is considered Of much
significance beyond its actual terms. as it
establishes the cordially between the
countries, which in foreign powers are
eudeavoring to show that Japan's reiec-
ton Of the peace meditation was a snub
to the United States.
To Japan the signatures are Of su-
preme importance, as the country esti-
mates its new series Of treaties as quite
as important as the war il is now con
ductIng When the Japanese minister
at London recently concluded the new
treaty with Great Britain, the emperor of
Japan at once decorated him with the
highest orders of the empire and ad-
vanced him TO the nobility.

Great Brltain's Delight over .Japanss Re-

Great Brltain's Delight over Japan's Re-
lection OF Mediation Out Of Place
AsHINGTOE, Nov. 25=The latest
China-Japan developments disclose an
interesting game Of diplomacy. The ca
bic advices stating that the British officers
are delighted with the rebuff sustained
by the United States in Japan's rejection
Of mediation causes much amusement
among the officials and diplomats here
who ar familiar with the facts.
While the British version that the
United States acted entirely alone
in its offer and without the CO.
operation of Great Britain is
literally true. yet it is known that her
majesty's government for trade or com
mercial reasons. heartily desired the sue
cess of the movement, as it was feared
that q continuance Of the war might
affect British commercial interests ii the
east disastr0uslv.
Any delight therefore which British
officials may express az Japan's snubbing
the United States is attributable to per
sonal reasons and to the failure of the
object Great Britain has earnestly sought.
But there is another and = very good
reason why any exs ression of delight at
the snubbing Of the United States Is en-
tIrely out of place at this point and that
is explained by state department
officials, that the United States
has not been snubbed at all. The
reply of the Japanese government to
Overtures was extremely courteous IN ex-
preston and in spirit and it did not BY
any means amount to a rejection

NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-Rev Father
Ducey, of ST. Leo's church, last night
sent 4 letter TO Archbishop Corrigan, in
answer to the letter which he received
from that dignitary few days ago. in
which the archbishop took him to task
for taking such prominent part
in the meetings of the Lexow
committee. In his letter Arch
bishop Corrigan admonished Father
Ducey to abstain in the future from at
tending these sessions OF the committee
without permission from him.
In his reply tonight Father Ducey
said:
