PROFESSOR CHAMBERLAIN AND
THE BRITISH TREATF.
Professor B. H. Chamberlain has recently publihed a now adition of well-known work Thingi Tapameti. One of the faw new festures In the book is a severo cililelsm of the revised Anglo Japanese Treaty. The author remarki that in 1894, the Radical English Ministry of the hour was fed to contest to a new treaty, clamoured for by the Japanese, based on the principle described as
**the fiult of the Dutch,
That of giving too little, and taking too teach, Whereby explicitly, or else implicitly by the recognition of ber legal codes (some of which had not even been published at that date i), Japan oblaland the abolition of extra-territoriality, full Jarlsdiction over Bullish subjects, the right to fix her an import dues, the monopoly of the coasting trade, and the exclusion of Britsh sub jects from the purchase of land, or even from the leasing of land for nericultural or mining purposes. In exchange Great Billala obtained The only 1 ems revealed by a microscople scrutiny are that every one will be permitted to travel unmolested la the interior, but in practice this privilege was enjoyed already, as would Baturally be the cata in any country ranking as civilised, and that property may be leased in the interior for residential and commercial pur- poses; but this is a doubtful advantage, entail. ing, it will, on merchants the expense of keeping up establishments in various cities for the same trade which has hitherto more «COR- omically centred is the open ports.
"But all this is merely the beginning of the trouble. As the date for the enforcement of the treaty draws near, and men have to make arrangements accordingly, they find themselves confronted wib obracht which could never have arisen had the negotiators exercised ordinary foresight. The ambiguity of the docu- ment is not the least of its defects. A careful consideration of what was wof riipulated for, as well as of what was, shows that under the new realy British subjects may not Improbably lose their privilege of publishing newspapers and holding public mesilags, in a word, their birth. right of free speech, and that it is doubtful whether doctors and lawyers will be allowed to practice without a Japanese diploma, Evan the period for which leases can be held was left so uncertain as to have became the subject of endless com. troversy, the condition of the sale and repurchase of leases in what had bliberto been the foreign "Concessions" were left uncertain; the sight to employ labour and to start Industrias was left ancestafa. With things in this stain, with the great English steamahip companies, the P. & O, and Canadian Pacific, probably prevented from carrying passengers between the parts, and with new dates of from thirty to forty per cent. levied precisely on those articles which are prime recessities to us, but not the Japanese, could any one Imagine such terms erer being agreed to except as the reinit of a disastrous wir? Same of the evils apprehended may nal after all arise; but in any case no thanks will be due to Downing Street. Perhaps the autho- sities thess consider that a state of things endurable by Billish communities la certain other foreign countries should be good enough for the British community in Japan. But surely there is difference between scquiescing in colventences of limemorial date, and running ore's neck into a new noora

KEY WEST.
U.S. SOUTHERN NAVAL STATION.
UNPAKPARED VOR WAR,
In due course you are deposited at Key West, which is place that is not calculated to impress al fral view. It looks like a village in Norway | dropped a few thousand miles down the map of the globe. There is scarcely a brick or stone bulldog in the fown. Low match-board houses, with timber balconies and verandahs, line the half doren little streets. There are 20,000 people in the Island, mostly dirty: 50 per cont, are negroes, another as por cent. Cubans, and the Spanish language in the streets rivals that variety of the English tonguo which is spoken in the United States. Key West has got ́so far as a tramway, on which run-or more often stand #till--cars hardly belter that an ordinary London omnibus, drawn by depressed and fy blown males. Also it has its newspaper, printed in English and Spanish, which engineers daily Caban boors and was scams with creditable energy. But otherwise Key West is too near the sun and the Latin races not to take things easily, There is hardly a shop-window in the place, and not a shop above the level of a villigo store ; there is not a decent restaurant or place of entertalamoci, or a Aigged if'e-walk, or a well- kept horse; and there would not be a decent hotel if the company which is zanning Florida had not set up one in accomodate its cilenta on their trips from the east to the west coast and to Havans, when Havana again becomes a land of trippers.

On the three Ex. changes of Berlin, Hamburg, and Frenklost-an- the-Main there are 210 foreign stocks gasted→→ some from over-sea countries, and same from the Balkan countries, Spato, and Portugal. The interest and dividends sccruing to the German holders from these investments are estimated by Schmoller at 500,000,000 marks annually.
