Received November 8, 8.5 a.m
LOINJXJN, November 7. Lord Lansdowne remarked that tho "' old maidenish " .policy of isolation was out of date, and no nation intending (to taike" its part in the affairs of the civilised world can venture to stand entirely alone to-day. He eulogised the high qualities of the Japanese, their straightforwardness and sincerity, and their diplomacy. _ The maintenance of peace was the primary object of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance, the second being to maintain China's integrity and independence and the open door, the third being mutual defence against an unprovoked attack. He quoted the Czar's noble • speech, cabled on October 20th, and there was not a mian •present who did not earnestly hope the Ozar would succeed in restoring the 'blessings of peace to* his distraught country, whose sufferings we read of with so much pain. (Cheers.)
