THE FEELING IN CHINA.

JAPANESE EMIGRATION'

(Received Last Night, 10.10 o'clock.)

LONDON, July 17. Router's Peking correspondent reports that while an anti-Japanese feeling is prevalent there, the causes for the renewal of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance are viewed with disappointment. The retention of the paragraph upholding the independence and integrity of China is regarded as satisfactory.' The Times' Peking correspondent says that in the cosmopolitan community the Treaty has been viewed with varying emotions. The general impression is favourable. Following as it does the Imperial Conference, it is believed that some understanding, the terms of which are not disclosed, but which is satisfactory to -She Colonies has been reached in regard to the vexed question of Japanese emigration to the Oversea Dominions.

(Received Last Night, 10.10 o'clock t BERLIN, July 17. The "Frankfurter Zeitung" states that the Anglo-Japanese Treaty has in ■no.wise lost its importance. For instance, in the case of war between England a.rd a Continental Power, say Germany, the Treaty would acquire a very real importance. It was only the thought that such a war was in the highest degree improbable, and that a new Russo-Japanese Treaty need not be feared for a long time to come, which reduces the alliances of two naval Powers to an empty form.

Correspondents in Berlin .recall the fact that until quite recently well-in-formed German opinion felt assured that the Anglo-Japanese Alliance would collapse, owing to the Dominions' dissatisfaction or the difficulties caused by the Anglo-American relations .and by the tension between America and Japan,' Advices from Tokio state that tli fi leading journals, welcome the Treaty, and insist that Japan's desire for peace with America is as great as with Britain. They consider that the new arrangement is calculated to p.-.-tend the zone of tranquility.
