ALL Is SERENE.
No Further Difficulties Between
Japan and China Probable.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.-Word
reached the japanese legation that the
new japanese minister at Pekin has
begun the negotiation of a treaty of
commerce and navigation with China
and that everything is going smooth
ly, without the difficulties that had
been contemplated. This new treaty
follows the treaty of peace made at
Shimoneski, which briefly recited that
when peace was finally restored, a new
commercial treaty would be formed.
1t is an important document, as it
gives in detail the terms on which
China is to be opened to commerce.
whereas the peace treaty recited only
the fact.
The negotiations have proceeded far
enough to show that Japan will have
the favored nation clause as TO COM
merce. This will be the first time
China has granted this clause TO ia
pan. 1t assures to Japan the lowest
rate of duty on articles sent to China
that the latter country exacts from
any other country. Japan is thus
placed on equal terms. for the first
time, with Great Britain, the United
States and other great powers
Another feature of the treaty is the
establishment of Japan's consular
courts in China, for the trial of ia
