 ton.
 Tokio. Japan, Feb. 21.-Via Victoria, B. C.. March 4.-Japan has gone wild with delight over the conclusion of the Anglo-Japanese alliance. There has been an elaborate torchlight procession at Tokio. besides the formal inter- change of congratulations at joint meeting held by the two houses of the deit at which Sir Claude Macdonald the English minister, was present At the various towns in Japan specia. cele. brations have already been held or are in contemplation. The Vernacular press is brimming over with cheerful forecasts of the result of the ''diplo- matic union" flags are flying and alto gether Japan is batting itself on the back. But there is no sign of unite eX- ultation in official circles over the even7. Ex-Minister Of Foreign Affairs Kato touched the keynote of popular Aentl- ment the other day, when in speech touching on the methods of receiving the news of the alliance he said that Japan should accept her position with all dignity. There should be 10 sIes- ton of using the opportunity for asking England to aid :n the introduction cf foreign capital into Japan, ,ha said.
 II would be fitting. Mir Kato suggest ed, that Japan signalize the occasion by sending some representative warships to the naval review to be held during King Edwards s coronation. This idea of MT Kato Is taken hold, and to-day 1t Is reported that Premier Katsura has obtained the sanction of the emperor to send flrst-class battleship and a cruiser there. The chambers of com merce throughout the country are pre- pairing to send two representative mer- chants to attend the corona ton cere- monies. Another feature this spring will be the joint naval manoeuvres by the British and Japanese fleets in the China sea in honor of the conclusion of the alliance. As it happens, Russia is to hold naval manoeuyres in the same region about the same time, and the coincidence has been noted.
