JAPAN WILD WITH DELIGHT
Eager to Celebrate the Treaty She Has
Made With England.

Eager to Celebrate the Treaty She Has
Made With England.
Toxic, Japan, Feb. q, via. Victoria,
B. O., March 5.-Japan has gone wild
with delight over the conclusion OF
the Anglo-Japanese alliance and is only
considering how best to celebrate. I'm
til the ratification everything is in en-
Oryo, but some of the committees will
not be denied. There has been an elab-
crate torchlight procession at Toxic, be-
sides the formal interchange OF con-
gratulations at a joint meeting held
by the two houses Of the diet, at which
Sir Claude Macdonald, the British
minister was present.
At various towns in Japan special
celebrations have already been held OF
are in contemplation The vernacula1
press is trimming over with cheerful;
forecasts of the result of the "diplo
matte union flags are flying, and al
together young Japan is patting itself
on the back. Ex-Minister of Foreign
Affairs Kato touched the keynote of
popular sentiment the other day when,
in a speech touching on the proper
methods Of receiving the news of the
alliance he said that Japan should ac-
cept her position with all dignity.
There should be no question Of using
the opportunity for asking England to
aid in the Introduction of foreign cap
ital into Japan; such a course would
he like bridegroom asking his ia
ther-in-law for money on the day of
the wedding.
1t would be fitting, said Kato, that
Japan should signalize the occasion by
sending over to The naval review to
be held at Spithead during King Ed
wards coronation some representative
warship, which would be more eff
fective than oratory or cheap cham
payne in a dark corner of the empire.
This idea of Kato has taken hold and
1t is reported that Premier Katsura
has obtained the sanction of the en-
peror to send first class battleshil,
and cruiser to take part in the Spit
head naval demonstration. The cham
bers Of commerce throughout the coun-
try are also preparing to send two
representative merchants to attend the
coronation ceremonies.
