AFTER a protracted theological discussion on the subjects of doctrine, dogma, tenets, and the like, the pleats of the Tearl-kyo rect who recently argued these points with a chosen committee of Buddhists at Fukushima have acknowledged themselves in error.

JAPANESE COMPETITION, Japan is now negousting commercial trenties with Austria and Switserland, and expects soon one will be made with France. With the settla. ment of sending arrangements, Japan will have commercast treaties with all Western countries upon entirely different and far more favourable terms than those before existing. Whether at much good will come from them as Japan expects is an open question. Japan has succeeded in barter the terms of them so drawn that, i anything, she will reap the rest advantages from them. But commercial treaties like other treaties ste often illustre, in that they promise more then can be fulfiled.

THE STRANDING OF THE "MENMUIR."
A JAPANESE officer accredited to Paking claims, says the foil, to have discovered that the Chinese in the Liaotung Peninsula ‘are very partial to Japan and the Japanese." This may be so, but before giving credence to this asser tion the Herald would like it to be endorsed by some independent authority. Pablic sentiment averred, he says, that "whilst Western people were bent either on diffusing a new religion, or greedy of making commercial gales, the Japanese were entirely free from such traits,' but immediately confater the latter statement by telling his countrymen that "the present is the golden time for Japanese merchants to export A Marine Court of Inquiry, composed of Hon.
