Although the documental understanding between the United States and the Empire of Japan is now an accomplished fact, and has been for several days, no appropriate name has been discovered for it. “Agreement” is regarded as too weak an appella tion for the epoch-making document approved at Washington just one week ago today; while “treaty” sets on edge the teeth of a Senate jealous for its prerogative. We are told that the chief promoters of the understanding are emphatically against the use of the word “treaty.” Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Root, who, together with Baron Takahira, have suc ceeded in condensing into five brief articles a whole host of questions which for more than a year past have been threatening the smoothness of Trans-Paci fic relations, are evidently determined upon refus ing the Mandarins of the Senate a finger in this diplomatic pie. We read that the slighted Sena tors are aghast at this breach of political etiquette, while WashingtQn is described as a humming beehive of excited conjecture and protest. The American journals, never behindhand in ingenuity, have dubbed “it” (we refer to the document) an arrangement, an agreement, a new pact, a declaration, a note, a covenant, a friendly understanding, an established policy, and—Oh ! shade of George Washington—even an alliance. Doubtless, however, an understanding by any other name will work as well, and the chief point about this coup is its far-reaching effect on the foreign policy of the United States. A diplo matic triumph inadequately describes it. At one stroke of the pfen the smouldering fires of mistrust and dangerous irritation which have kept alarmists in Washington and Tokio busy for a twelve-month past are apparently extinguished. We say apparent ly, for the document has yet to be counter-signed, and there is no little talk of an attempt on the part of certain Pacific Coast Senators to upset the diplo matic apple-cart at the eleventh hour by an in 1am- matory appeal to the racial antipathies of their con stituents. A movement of this nature would be no thing short of criminal, and it is profoundly to be hoped that American public opinion, loyally back ed by the press, will ratify the agreement so op portunely formulated by the retiring President and his able Secretary of State. By exerting himself in this connection Mr. Roosevelt has dealt a crushing blow to those of his detractors who persist in im puting to him martial ambitions. He has laid aside the familiar “Big Stick” this time to pluck a quill from the pinions of the Angel of Peace. The. well-informed Washington correspondent of The Times points out that the declaration in re spect to mutual possessions in the Pacific is not regarded in Washington as an innovation, since Great Britain, France, and Russia have already si milar understandings with Japan. Article five of this latest agreement mutually pledges the two Go vernments, in case of the occurrence of any event threatening the status quo, to communicate with each other for the purpose of arriving at a mutual understanding with regard to measures they may consider it useful to take. This has been attacked in certain quarters as being tantamount to a de parture from the tiim*e-honoured American policy of avoiding entangling alliances, but against this view it is urged that an interchange of notes is in no sense a treaty; and, secondly, that the contin gency contemplated is extremely remote. Briefly stated, the object of the negotiating parties is to reaffirm their friendly relations in as simple a way as possible. On her side Japan, by countenancing an agreement of this nature, has heaped coals of fire upon the heads of her calumniators in the United States and Europe. She has been called “The Pirate of the Pacific,” and painted by fanciful jour nalists as a rapacious upstart seeking whom she may devour. We are not going to deny that cer tain features of her policy in Korea—to cite the best known instance—have been open to strong ob jection if viewed from an exclusively Western stand point ; but in bare justice to the Island Empire it should be recognised that the entire trend of her policy towards the Great Powers has been con ciliatory in the extreme. She has, indeed, set an example in courtesy which, coming whence it does, is in striking contrast to the blustering demeanour adopted by several prominent American journals to wards Japan and all her works.

The New York World says: “The understanding reached should put an end for ever to the evil activities of the demagogues who have been trying their feeble best to stir up trouble,” and this honest sentiment is echoed by the Evening Post which, after cordially endorsing the arrange ment, adds:—“To whoever the credit of this belongs, whether to Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Root or to the Japanese statesmen, it cannot be too freely given." These two quotations admirably express the weight of public opinion, which in the past has never en dorsed the mean attempts of interested persons to bring about acerbity between the United States and her powerful Pacific neighbour. GENERAL NEWS. NEWS FROM ENGLAND. THE HOUSE OF LORDS. - London, December 4. The Report of the Lords Committee' appointed to consider the question of reforming the Upper House recommends that the possession of the dig nity of a peerage shall no longer carry the right to a seat in the House of Lords; and that the hereditary Peers shall elect 200 of their number to represent them in Parliament during each Session. Peers who have f iled the highest offices of State or who have been Governors of Colonies, or who have been for ten years members of the Lower House, or who as officers of the Navy or Army have attained the rank of Vice-Admiral or Lieutenant-General res pectively and are still on the active list, shall have seats in the House without election. The Committee further recommends that 40 life peers shall have seats without election, and that the Colonies shall be officially represented in the Upper House. HOUSE OF COMMONS. THE EDUCATION BILL. London, December 4. The debate on the Education Bill has continued all the week, and difficulties have arisen on the ques tion of finance. The Anglicans and Roman Catho lics demand more State aid for denominational schools which, in order to remain under private control, will claim no contribution from the local rates. Mr. Runciman, the President of the Board of Edu cation, said that the Government proposals were liberal; while the . Nonconformists declared that if the State aid was increased they would vote against the Bill. Thus the whole matter seemed to have come to a standstill once more; but active ne gotiations between the parties proceeded, and to day the Prime Minister proposed the adjournment of the debate until tomorrow, on the ground that he hoped an agreement would be reached. THE UNREST IN INDIA. London, December 3. Details of the outrage at Nagpur on the night of November 12 have come to hand in a private letter from an English gentleman, occupying an of ficial position, who was at Nagpur at the time, and was able to catch the mail on the following morning. He writes:— “The mutilation of Queen Victoria’s statue, in the public gardens of Nagpur, on the night following the opening of the Industrial Exhibition of the Cen tral Provinces of India, is attributed to college students, who took advantage of the preoccupation of the police, due to the large influx of visitors. The nose was knocked off and tar poured over the face; these are considered in India the grossest insults which can be offered, especially to a woman. “The incident is significant, as indicating the spread of the seditious propaganda; Nagpur, the administrative capital of the Central Provinces, be ing about 700 miles from Calcutta. Great police precautions were taken at the opening of the ex hibition, and a Bengali was caught at the railway station with a box full of bombs. “The Chief Commissioner, who performed the opening ceremony, drove to the exhibition surround ed by mounted escort of the Manchester regiment, with drawn swords; and except as to the mutilation of the statue, everything passed off smoothly.” NEWS FROM AMERICA. THE PRESIDENT AND THE RAILROADS. Mr. Roosevelt will, we learn, next week address a Message to Congress, in which, it is believed, a modification of policy of great importance to the railroads will be advocated. It is suggested, in fact, that the President will urge an amendment of the Sherman Anti-Trust law, whereby the railroads will be exempted from its operation, and it is hardly necessary to say that Wall-street is deeply interested by the report, though, of course, it bears in mind that any such change of policy would be contemplated as a means to an end, and with a view to smoothing the way for the amendment of the Railroad Act. Certain remarks let fall by Mr. E. H. Harriman, who is not given to taking the public into his con fidence without good reason, leave little room for doubt as to the exactness of the prediction. Mr. Harriman, as oT course is well-known, has long argu ed that the Sherman fetters must be knocked off the railroads, and rumour has it that a personal intimation from White House has enabled him to take rank with the prophets. MR. ROOSEVELT’S HUNTING TRIP. Pres. Roosevelt has chosen the following men to accompany him to Africa:—Major Edgar Mearns, a surgeon in the United States army, an author, and an authority on zoology and botany; Mr. Edmund Heller, zoologist, formerly with the Field Colum bian Museum in Chicago and a member of Mr. Carl E. Akeley’s exploring and shooting trip into Africa in 1905; and Mr. J. Alden Loring, of Owego, N.Y., an authority on the ’smaller mammals and an expert collector. These three specialists and the President’s son Kermit will form the party. Mr. Roosevelt, it is understood, will only shoot in places where the hunting is open to all, and will accept no exclusive privileges. Believing in the protection of wild animals in reservations, he thinks that great care should be exercised in giving such permission. He also hopes that his party will se cure good specimens of animals and birds for the National Museum. The President is said to desire as much privacy as possible in regard to the expedi tion, and no newspaper correspondents will accom pany the party. THE NEW POSTAL TARIFF. New York, December 3. The New York Tribune says that the new postal tariff will facilitate business and strengthen the agree able mutual relations existing between the German Empire and America. (Continued on page 2:)
