Japanese Visitors.
FETED IN SYDNEY.
The Japanese Admiral and officers were entertained by the Lord Mayor at dinner at the Town Hall. The company included Lord Northcote, Sir Harry Rawson and Admiral Fawkes. Lord Northcote said he was convinced that neither Great Britain nor Japan Hvould have contracted an alliance if they had not honestly and sincerely believed that in forming such.an alliance they were giving the world a strict guarantee of future peace and commercial development. He trusted they had united the white ensign of Great Britain to the banner of the rising sun of Japan in an alliance that would prove indissoluble. Admiral Shimanuira, in replying, hoped the alliance would be renewed again and again, not for aggression, but to safeguard peace. He declared the Japanese s uccesses on the sea were largely due to the fact that most of the warships were built in Great Britain, commanded. and officered by men who earned their profession from the British navy.
