JAPANESE TOPICS.

(From Our Own Correspondest.)

YOKOHAMA, March 25th. One of the leading Japanese journals, com menting upon the Corean question, says that in consequence of her designs in Manchuria, Russia apparently suspects Japan of taking action, to encroach upon Corea, Japan, how every accupies a disadvantageous position, and is regarded with some suspicion by Great Bri- tain, Germany and other Powers, in the matter of a possible understanding with Russia regard- ing Corea as a set-off for concessions in Man- churia, Russia, on the other hand, casts sus- picious eyes upon Japan's actions in Corea. This, the journal thinks, is an outcome of the Japanese Government's failure to adopt a de finite and decisive policy in regard to the Manchurian, question. If Japan came forward and showed clearly to the world the policy she intended to pursue in the Manchurian affair, the Powers would recognise her real attitude and Russia would cease to be suspicious of her Corean policy. If the arguments of those who advocate an agreement with Russia regarding Corea are listened to, the Peninsular Kingdom will fall into the hands of the Northern colossus before the scheme matures. It is high time the Asali aays, that the Government should clearly declare ta the world its policy, and once it is decided upon, the Corean question will be solved as a natural consequence. The same journal, referring, to the rumour that Russia had demanded of Cores a lease of Chinhai Bay, says, as for Japan, the hoisting of the Russian colours on the opposite shore of the Tsushima Channel would be more than she could put up with m

Japanese journals are naturally somewhat bitter in their comments on the declaration made by the German chancellor with regard to the Anglo-German agreement, and in this connection the Kokumin remarks that notwith- standing the pingress of civilization the time has hot arrived when transactions between nations can be governed or criticised by the came standard of morality as those between individuals. The German chancellor's inter pretation of the text of the Anglo-German agreement would be pronounced fraudulent if it were a transaction between individuals, and would be utterly untenable in any court or tribunal.

The same journal, continuing, says that it will not dwell upon the apparent inconsistency of the text of the agreement and the interpre- tation of Count von Buelow, but would like to know to what country the German Chancellor (considers Manchuria to belong if it is not included within Chinese territory. It is still more dificclt surraise why Germany joined the other five powers in addressing warnings

The manifesto fairly represents the feelings of the people, but it is very doubtful whether Japan is prepared to go to extreme measures, should protests prove univalling, unless backed up by some strong power. Russia's southward advance is, however, especially menacing Japan's interess-much more so than Great Britain's-and it is not to be wondered at that she would protest vigorously,

Russia's proceedings in Gorea are, in ad- dition, very disquieting to the Japanese, for according to an interpellation introduced in the Diet by Mr.. Usui Tetsuo the Northern power which acquired, ostensibly by transfer or purchase, but really by military pressure, land at Somi and Kyumi, is creating there buildings which, though disguised under the harmless designations of hospitals and coal depots, are really military works. Mr. Usui regards Russian action in Corea as highly imimical to Japanese interests, as well as tres passes on the independence of the Peninsular Kingdom.
