CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
The Latest Treaty Between China and
japan.

-"
japan.
From the New York Sun.
We have before us the text OF the con.
ventlon for the retrocession OF the
Llautung peninsula. which was signed
at Pekln on November 8, 1895, and
which, In pursuance Of the protocol
annexed, was to go into operation five
days later. II IL we'll known that the
important concession thus made by Japan
to China WAS the outcome Of joint In
terposItion OF Russia. France and
Germany, which powers collectively
possessed q naval force In the Pacific.
against which the Mikado's subjects
would have been unable to contend. BY
the surrender OF the Llautung penin-
sula this dream has heen dispelled, and
Japan sees herself condemned to remain
forever an island empire. Even the
prospect Of insular extension. seems con
6ned to the eventual annexation Of the
Philippine Islands and for this she
would have 10 kght with Spain. Nor
will It be longer worth her while to
waste time and money on Korea, since
the Hermit Kingdom was valuable
mainly as a basis for operations against
Chinese ManchurlA. Moreover. any at
tempt OF the Mikado to exercise ascen
dency at Seoul would bring him eventu-
ally In collision with the Gar, who
up questionably intends TO establish a
great naval station at Port LazAreh
In a word, so far as the main
land Is concerned, the program
Of ASIA for the AsIatics" seems
to have been definitely abandoned
BY the MIkado himself and BY his prime
pal advisers. The war party at Toxic.
however, does not acknowledge Itself
beaten, and insists that the large apPro
prlatlon proposed for. the navy by the
government shall be doubled. The aim
Of this policy evidently Is 80 to
strengthen tho country's naval force ~
70 render 1t possible TO prosecute plans Of
maitland conquest her eater. without
regard to the protests Of European
nations Bat for every ship that japan
can build Rnssla can certainly build two,
and the Cars occupation OF Port
Lszsred win mean that his sea power
Is destined to dominate the Pacific.

Trip Through Paradise Alley
The inimitable dancsr and singer, Bar.
nsy Fagan, aud the sterling Irish
comedian, Sam. J. Ryan, acted as guides
for large number of representative
Wilmington play y-goers last evening on
trip through Paradise Alley. The
rough edge, the smooth edge and the gilt
edge Of this part Of the great metropolis
made famous In song By one Of Whining
tons sons, were shown In succession and
q couple Of hours were spent In solid en- =
joyment. The company, headed by
Messrs FAgan and Ryan, IL one OF sterl-
iDg merit, and while ths play itself has
lust enough plot to act as back ground
for the many lRuRhable situations and
the excellent speclalties introduced. Miss
May Mooney and Miss Lily Post,
In their songs, we're very foe
aud were obliged to respond to en-
cores. The fancy dance sketch by Barney
Pagan, the prince of creators In this
line, entitled THE Alpineels," WAS q
very pretty thing and called for hearty
applause. Sam ]. Ryan and Barney
F.gan in their songs were also great. Mrs
Henrietta Bryan, who is we'll known In
this city whore she has a host Of friends,
added TO her laurels as = sweet singer
and graceful actress Owing to the
absence of the company's musical
director. Prof Compton Of tho house
orchestra was obliged to act as leader.
BE carried out this duty without =
break, aud was compimented by Mr.
Pagan for his good work In view Of
the fact that Pagan is perhaps the most
particular and difficult TO please Of all
the actors In his line on the stage Of to-
day, the compliment extended by him Is
exceedingly noticeable Another large
delegation will visit Paradise Alley again
to night.
