WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-Japan has at
-. last succeeded in an object very dear TO her
people, and for which the Government has
striven with all the arts of diplomacy for
many years. News has been received here
by the diplomatic corps that new treaty
has just been negotiated between Japan
and Great Britain. by the terms Of which
the claims of eXtraterritorial jurisdiction
byIhe latter is abandoned.
Negotiations looking to the ratification
of similar treaty are going on between
Japan and the United States and other
European nations than Great Britain and
..it-is assumed that they will now speedily
follow the example set by the latter and
fully recognize the right of Japan to ad-
minister justice in her own territory. The
importance of Great Britain's action,
which by the way rather tends to discredit
IH9' stories thaT she is hostile to Japan in
ii eT present war, lies in the fact that it is
actually the recognition of Japan as
fully civilized power.
The addition of further territorial iuris-
diction has always been confined to bar
haTous and semi-civiiZed countries whose
ignorance of the first principles of Justice
and law seemed to render imperative the
retention by the civilized nations of the
right to administer justice where their
own citizens were concerned, even as
against natives of the semi-civilized coun-
try and within its borders. This has been
done through the medium of consular
courts, and the system obtains in Egypt,
China, Japan. Turkey and many other
countries.
Ever since the wave of civilization
rolled over Japan her sensitive and proud
people have resented the continuance of
the extra territorial system, not solely be-
cause Of its workings. but also because it
was standing declaration that Japan
was not civilized and was a reflection upon
the Japanese judiciary. Therefore, the
action of Great Britain in surrendering
this claim in the new treaty is Of great i'm
pOEtance to Japan as marking a distinct
epoch in her advancement to the front
rank Of nations.
