FAR EASTERN POLITICS.

Instead Of going to war over Cores,
Russia and japan have negotiated. The
result is q compact under three heads, by
which the three contracting powers agree
to recognize the independence Of Cores
and to take no measures Of advice or con.
troll there without mutual agreement,
while Russia ia bound not to interfere
with the development Of the japanese
trade with the Hermit Kingdom.
The Russians, who are called the bes,
diplomats in Europe. have by this ar
rangement detached Japan from the Brit,
ish interest, while the Japanese on their
part have saved themselves from wal
they do not want to engage in until theil
their new navy has been built.
So long as Corea remained subject tc
the Cars supreme interest japan was
embittered, and would have been ready
in an extremity to go to England's aid.
But the Japanese really care little for the
future Of China. about which Great Brit.
ain is concerned the most. In giving up
Wei-hai-Wei they have aba ndoned their
last foothold there. and, besides, any
thing calculated to divide China before
the day OF her awakening comes counts
for Japanese safety in future. And it
also makes for Japanese trade. All the
Mikado's Government asks is that Cores
shall not pass into the hands Of rival,
and this point once gained, has grown
Indifferent to the immediate value Of an
English alliance.
