THURSDAY EVENING. FEB. 81. 1867.

AccoRDlSc to dispatches from Berlin,
Japan ia guilty Of acts similar to those
which have brought Oh the recent dip
lomatic complications between the Mi.
kado' = government and the United 5 ates.
The Japanese protested against the seq
regation of their children in separate
sebcols in California, and now China
charges tie AIikadu's government with
excluding children ofthe celestial empire
from schools in Japan. One Of the
Washington newspapers persists in print
ing pessiniis:ic articles concerning re-
lalions between the United States
and Japan. Most all journals in the
large eiiies have long ago dropped the
subject and arc talking Of other affairs.
It is has been stated repeatedly that, so
far az can be seen, there is no likelihood
Of serious trouble between Japan and
The United States certainly not in re-
gard 10 the California school troubles.
A writer in the Baltimore Sun makes
The following sensible observations:
japan does not wish war. She desires
,elea5c from her bonded Indebtedness
held in foreign bonds. Japan is adroit
enough to bear the price OF her foreign
holderp. This can best be done by q
warliks attitude which BY keeping the
markets nervous will gradually depre'
ciate tho market value Of her bonds.
Further. Japan is perfectly sure Of
EnRlands backing in the east. II she
,an oy her attitude toward the United
States discredit the Anglo-JapAnese al
lance, her object would be attained
This rupture will also deprss the value
of Der Indebtedness by removing the
English underwriting. Thus considered,
we see how business-like is Japan
present attitude. Having whipped Rus
sia. she will complete her war in the
worlds stock markets.
