It; will be remembered that in the. operation of Introducing European seasoning; into the treaty of peace, between China and Japan the Russian diplomats clearly outwitted Rosebery. .Russia treated Great Britain to the same sort of sauce the latter had treated her t-o in respect .of the treaty of San Stefano, which followed the last Jtusso-Turltish'. war. She ■ turned the tables and played the same game the British had with continental assistance been playing: against her for generations, arid ; ; which had been : a most potential factor iir forcing Russian expansion eastward. It has been said— and said with truth— that to the British policy of. forming combinations to shut Russia out from~the sea in. the West, more than to 1 any other one cause are due Russian de velopment and aggression in Asia and the "orientalism,, that permeates, the Rus sian governmental and social fabrics.. • By gaining the" ascendancy, in the mat ter of ''influencing"' the terms of peace between China and Japan, Russia was enabled to compel the Japanese to re linquish al! territorial fruit of the. war, save Formosa, and it was recognized that she gained a coign of" Immense; ad vantage.. Xot only did thecoup give her great prestige, but was accepted as most valuable to her on its bearing upon Rus sian designs upon China .'and -Korea. There is more than a suspicion .that Rus sia's appreciation of these.;, facts was responsible for the "independent,", and, on . occasions, arrogant; attitude. Russia assumed towards the other. Powers du ring the Boxer troublq. . As we know, not merely while the outbreak was in pro gii'ss, but during the : earlier stages .of the" indemnity negotiation's,. Russia was engaged in conducting- several side ope : rations which were not. reconcilable with < th<> canons' of good faith. 'but, of neces sity, had to be.winked at.'/ :-:■: Owing to her complications elsewhere at the .time Great Britain, especially, found it' advisable ib lie : low. Indeed, not only did Russia have.' by herself the whip-hand of, the British,-, but. it was clear that she was manoeuvering with. a. view of securing .German aid in 'embar rassing the tight little isle. However, the almost proverbial turn- mi ' the -lane" for Great Britain: has come at last. -From London -it was- learned yesterday .that the -British and Japanese- Governments have * formed an alliance for' guarantce :ing • the integrity ' of' China', and - Korea. The text of the.agreement has" been made ipublic, -and leaves- no- doubt that both parties mean business. A London spe cial says that the announcement of the understanding' caused' a great sensation there, is regarded as ■ putting ah end to '^England's vinagnificfont i isolation," and is considered a full answer to the charge that- .= British. interests ..- iii China were to. be neglected; And .the same special conveys 4a' bit> of informa tion which was .hardly .necessary-; "it says that the alliance, is aimed, at Rus sia.. -Xbt (simply, as the special • implies, Is it, we conclude; iDttaSeSjto call 'a halt to" Russia, so far ;"J.\" Manchuria' is,.'con cerned,, but it is hardly- to be doubted that /it ; is- also tntenilvVl'"'' ix> .carry a warning to the Bear that! he is bbtrudirig his nose too prominently* acrossj the Mon golian; desert: and injio dhe •; region of -Chi nese . -Turkestan. , .JapanosevNtroops Care beater 'adapted -than 1 -aiiy ;. other '■; ox\ V.the face of ; th"ej_ globe for ■ pushing into; the iicart •of ,J.i Chin a ; .: - and R ussia v might •-. do" wcil-to\ tliiiik" .twice -before ;.. tempting -a grapple^Avithv^nm "Anglo-Indian "v lii-my coi'ps supported by Japanese auxiliaries".' 1 The -I,ondo n papers agree' that the text &¥;&/ ,:i.,;,- i. «,« most important" tjtv PTPTTAT6ND DISPATCH.— THTIES DAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1902. pnrliamoutary pap'or for Gnat Britain fcHS&has \m* i-«":< f"r-y«T».
