CHINA MUST GET CIvILIZED.-A dis
patch from Shanghai says: Highly in
teresting snd important conditio of
peace are proposed by Japan, wha ev'-
IDENTIFY intends to compel China to ;e9rn
the arts of civilization. In addition to
the independence OF Corea, the VS. u
demnity, and the cession of Formosa
and Lilo Tung province, including Por
Arthur, Japan requires that China shall
allow the unhampered importation OF
machinery into her territory and the
establishing and management of manu-
features by foreigners. She must
pledge herself, moreover, to open to the
vessels of all nations the 4ang-Tse
river as far as Chumg-King Foo, the
Sieng- Kiang as far as Siang-Tan-Kien,
the Canton river as far as Ou-Choo
Foo, the Wusung river and the canal
as far as 500 Choo 20 the north and
Hang Chu Foo to the south. China
must remove permanently the Wusung
bar and provide means to maintain con-
stautly depth Of water sufficient for
large vessels; and the cities of Chung
King Foo, Ou-Choo Foo, 500 Choo Foo
Hang Chu-Foo and others to be here
after agreed upon must be opened up
TO foreign commerce. Japan emphasizes
the fact that she does not desire for
herself commercial advantages that are
not extended TO the other treaty powers.
