Peace at shanghai.

Gratifying news arrives from Toxic
today that Japan has pledged herself
to complete withdrawal of her forces
from the Shanghai area within thirty
days, as token of the good faith in
which she signed the evacuation treaty
with China on May 5. The vanguard
Of thirty thousand troops, who have
been in the region since the end Of
January moved out last week Evac-
us-.on is proceeding under the super
vision of a neutral international COM
mission, of which the veteran Ameri
can consul general at Shanghai, Edwin
S. Cunningham, is chairman.
The fact that Japan is actually quit
ting Shanghai is all the more reassur-
ing, because the recent bombing out
rage at Hongkew, resulting in the death
and injury Of high japanese military
and civilian officials contained the
seeds of possibly protracted occupation.
The peace treaty between the belliger-
ent parties sets forth that the Jap
anese and Chinese authorities having
already ordered the cease fire, it is
agreed that the cessation of hostilities
is rendered definite as from May 5,
1892" II is earnestly to be hoped that

China succeeded in imposing upon her
late adversary the right to keep her
own forces in the positions they now
occupy, while the japanese troops re-
tire to the International Settlement
and eventually from China altogether
Indications are beginning to filter
through as to the quid pro quo that
Japan obtained in exchange for this
obvious face-saving concession to China.
The peace pact does not mention
the abolition Of the trade boycott and
other anti-Japanese movements in
China, but Immediately the agreement
was signed the Nanking government
apparently broadcast telegraphic orders
commanding the suppression of all anti
japanese organizations. The mayors
of Peiping, Tientsin and other large
centers received instructions to that
effect and proceeded to enforce them.
