LIBERAL POLICY OUTLINED.
British Premier Opposed to Coolie La
Dor in South Africa.


London, Dec. 22.-The announce
ment of Premier Campbell-Bannerman
in his speech in Albert hall at the
opening of the electoral campaign that
the government has given instructions
for the stoppage of importations of
Chinese coolies TO South Africa caused
the kathr market to open weak. The
Conservative papers refer to the step
as being the most serious taken by a
responsible government since the at
tempt to impose the stamp duty on the
American colonies"
The premier's reference to Indian
affairs, in which he said, I'VE shall
make ourselves a party to no step in
volving an invasion of the sacred
principle of the subordination of the
military to civil authority,' is taken
by many military men to imply either
the recall or the resignation of Gen
eral Lord Kitchener, the commander
in-chief in India, who successfully ap-
pealed to the late government in his
disputes with the late viceroy, Lord
CurZon of Kedleston.
While the premier had little to say
on the Irish question the Conserva-
tives will take his announcement that
those domestic affairs which concern
the Irish people alone and not us
should be in their hands" as a reitera,
ton of the policy of home rule and
this will be the battle cry of the Tn.
ionists in the impending campaign.

Long Struggle for Open Door in Man
churia Terminates Successfully.

S''S
Washington, Dec. 23.-Important dc.
tails OF the treaty between China and
Japan, signed at Pelling during the
day, have reached the state depart
ment by cable. China consents to
lease to Japan the I-iaotung peninsula
at the southern extremity Of which is
Port Arthur and Dalny. This territory
formerly was held by Russia under
lease from China. China comedies to
Japan the control of the railway on
the peninsula %northward as far as
Changchin. This is one of the spurs
which connects with the Russian ST
berian railway system and the point
named probably will mark the divi-
sion between Russian and Japanese
control.
Most important of all of the pro-
visions of the treaty is an article
whereby China agrees to open to the
worlds commerce and trade sixteen
principal ports and cities in Manchu-
ria, including Hardin, the modern Rus
sian capital of the province and its
most important railroad center, thus
marking, in the opinion of the state
department officials, the final success
of the long struggle by the United
States for the open door.
