BRITAIN AND JAPAN.
o JAPAN EAGER FOR A BRITISH ALLIANCE. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH—COPYRIGHT). London, May 18. Lord Salisbury, in making reference to Japan, adopted a tone of marked friendliness. He implied that the occupation of Wei-hei-wei was intended to convey to Japan and Corea that Britain had maintained her right in North China. He hoped the occupation of Wei-hei-wei would inspire China with courage to withstand her enemies, and waive the despairing feeling that Russian domination was li6r inexorable destiny. London, May 19. The Daily Telegraph's Tientsin correspondent states that Japan is eager for an alliance with Britain, and ready to land 300,000 troops on the mainland to check the absorption of China by Russia.
