One stateafoan to-day de clared that the St. Petersburg treaty struck a blow at thV Brltlah-Japa nese alliance which would probably prove1 fatal. The growing unpopularity of the alliance, not only among Englishmen in the Far Eaat, but at home as well can but be Increased by the agree ment between Tokio And St. Peters burg. which is regarded as nothing short of a compact for complete dom ination of the tremendous markets of China and Manchuria. The long expected" formal annexa tion of Korea by Jaj^au is now re garded ai a matter of a short time. The belief here is thai tHb condi tions which have been, investigating since the peace of Portsmouth will soon become known, startling Europe Japan's aim to recoup the Tosses ofc. the war with Russia, which still lay heavy on her people, would not be far from realization were she in a po sition, by a strong alliance with a power with the same aim, to throw to the winds her regard for the in terference of the nations that stand by the open door policy ? to wfilch she subscribed. The negotiations between 8t. Pe tersburg and Toklo. Which are under stood to have been rea^y for comple tion when Prince Ito went to Harbin and was killed by a Korean, are of especial significance Ip view of the f%ct that Japan is about to renew her treaties with t&e Ifadlng powers. London Is WatcliUig, the situation cautfoualy, particularly with refer enOe to tho negotiations for an Immi gration treaty between the United States and Japan.
