Marquis Ito, compelling the emperor
OF Japan to turn to Great Britain, an
offensive and defensive alliance might
be possible. But considering the fact
that the British alliance has rendered
it possible for Japan to fight Russia
for the establishment of her position
in the far east consider 1t out OF the
question that Japan will bind herself
in such a manner as might compel
her to assist Russia in the event that
the Russian emperor's government lat
er concluded to make an attack on
India. This is the more improbable
inasmuch as Great Britain Is anxious
not only to renew but to strengthen
her alliance with Japan"

THE TREATY OF PORTSMOUTH.

The signing of the treaty Of peace between
Japan and Russia which was accomplished at
Portsmouth yesterday, may be regarded as
marking the technical ending Of the war. The
armistice now goes into effect and all danger
of any further fighting is past The armies
will not be withdrawn until the treaty Is rati-
fed, but there is. of course not the slightest
doubt that it will be ratified well within the
fifty days allotted for that purpose and then
there will be ample time for the complete evacu-
alton Of Manchuria, save for railroad guards.
fifteen to the k0ometre within the prescribed
eighteen months from yesterday. Thus ends
war which began February s, 1904 which
has been without precedent In history for the
unvarying and complete character of the VIC
tories won by the triumphant party, and which
has done more than most other wars to ex-
emplify the various branches of the military
art and also to readjust the balance Of the
great powers OF the world.
The synopsis of the treaty which is given 20
the public, and which we may assume to be
substantially correct, accords pretty well with
the forecasts which were made during the
progress of negotiations. 1t re-establishes peace
between Japan and Russia. 1t gives Japan
free hand in Corea, but apparently does not,
as was formerly ntimated, guarantee the indie
pendence Of that country: giving Japan, on the
contrary, permission practically to annex it.
provided only that Russia is permitted to enjoy
therein the privileges Of the most favored ma
ton 1t requires The evacuation Of Manchuria
by both belligerents. It transfers to Japan the
Russian lease Of Port Arthur and Dalny, ap-
parenty, however, without consulting China N
the matter. 1t binds both parties not to hinder
China's Development Of Manchuria under the
open door, rue-a marked recession by Rus
STA, which hitherto has strenuously resisted
such development 1t divides the Mancburian
railroad between Japan and Russia. and makes
1t purely commercial line instead of largely
military. 1t gives Japan the southern part of
Saghaien, and guarantees freedom of naviga-
ton In both La Perouse and Tartarv straits
1t promises Japan fishing rights In Siberian
waters and renewal of the commercial trearv
with Russia, and it provides for payment nv

prisoners.
Such are the reported terms of this MEM

among the great historic treaties of the world
