Why the English Government Got

In the ratification of the new treaty be-
tween Great Britain and Japan at Toxic on
August 25 the United States, for the first
time since Commodore Perry, in 1854. OPEN
ed the ports Of Japan to our trade and ne
gotiated the first treaty of commerce. has
allow ed a European power to take the
initiative in forwarding the recognition of
Japan as a fully civilized sovereign power.
This occurred through no lack of a desire
on the part Of Japan to accord us first
place in such negotiations, and. in fact. a
mutual effort to arrange q new treaty has
been making for the past ten years. This
would undoubtedly have been successful
and the United States would have pre-
ceded Great Britain in cementing the
friendship Of japan by wiping out the OBJ
noxiOus system of extra-territorial juris-
d!ction had there not been other and dis
turbiEg elements in the negotiations with
which the British were not obliged to con-
tend.

The Immigration Question.

The most important Of these was the
question of immigration, which has become
of oversbadowing Importance in the United
States just now. Certain western Senators
have looked with apprehension upon the
possibility of an invasion of Japanese
coolies, bringing with them questions of as
grave importance us the Chinese cheap la
Dor problem. In all probability, there was
little to be feared from this source, but
pressure was so strong, it is said, that tn 2
state Department was obliged to yield and
to require that in the new treaty there
should be included some safeguards upon
the japanese immigration. The Japanese
government has not been unwilling to con-
sent to this, but the difficulty SO far has
a shape satisfactory to both countries.

A telegram has been received at the
japanese legation announcing that a gen.
eral engagement between the Japanese and
Chinese forces took place at Ping Yang,
near the northern frontier Of Corea, on
Saturday and resulted in a decisive victory
for the Japanese. The officials Of the lega-
tion expect to receive full details Of the bat
tie in a short time. They state that this is
the first official intelligence received at the
legation with regard to the fighting in
northern Corea, concerning which there
