Two Counties Pledge Themselves to DotniiiHte Ihe Kast. .( By Cable to The Times) London, July Diplomats con versant with t.ie situation in the Far Fast see behind ' ta convention be tween Russia and Japan, announced at. St. Petersburg, a new alignment which threatens the existence of the open door. It is believed that behind the con vention there is a secret treaty by whica tlie countries that a few years ago were at war pledge themselves to dominate the east. The explanation is current and is accepted in semi- of ficial circles. The subject is one of great alarm, it was learned today, to the British foreign office. The Impression grows here daily that Japan 'will never sign another treaty with England of tue same na ture as that now existing. There will also be marked effect on the negotiations between Japan and America over the new treaty. The most immediate effect of the new alignment, -which has been in process of formation quietly for sev eral years 'Will probably be felt in the relations between Great Britain and Japan. One statesman today de clared that the St. Petersburg treaty struck a blow at the BritishrJapa- nese alliance which would probably prove liftal. '1 he growing unpopularity of the alliance, not only among Knglishmen in the Far East, 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 Japan is now re garded as a matter of a short time, The belief here is that the condi tions which have been investigation sih(;e the peace of Portsmouth will soon become known, startling Europe and America. Japan's aim to recoup the losses of 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 ; which she subscribed. The negotiations between St. Pe tersburg and. .Tokio '-Which are under stood to have been ready for comple tion when Prince Ho went to Harbin and was killed by a Korean, are of especial significance in view of the fact that Japan is about to renew her treaties with the leading powers. London is watching the situation cau tiously, particularly with reference to the negotiations for an immigration treaty between the United States and lapan. Tills .-subject is of extreme mportance to Great Britain, because of the' opposition to Japanese immi gration in British Columbia and Aus tralia..; Neither the I'nited States or Eng land wishes to take tlie initiative in the matter but as tile American treaty does not. expire till a year after the expiration of that 'with Great Brit- lin, the advantage seems to lie with Washington. One outcome of the Japanese-Rus sian alliance may be a triple alliance between England, the United States and Germany. I'nited States Knows Nothing- of It. Washington, July 7 -State depart ment officials here claim to be entire- y ignorant of any secret agreement supposed to have been effected be tween Russia and Japan for the pur pose of closing the "open door" In the Far East.; 'Admissions are made, how ever, that this country is deeply in terested in maintaining the status quo in Manchuria and will strenuous ly oppose any sfeps taken by either Russia or Japan which would in. any way tend to close the "open door." While nothing Is said officially of forming an alliunce with. it, Brit tain and Germany in de. .ding of Japan and Russia equal treatment of all nations in the Far East, this coun try, it is said, will lend Its moral sup port to any movement tending L to break up any blind alliance that may have been formed by the two coun tries. -.'
