PARTIES IN JAPAN.
THE OPPOSITION AND THE GOVERNMENT. By Telegraph.—Press Association.— (Received May 25, 11.25 p.m.) Tokio, May 25. The Japanese Government and the Opposition have arranged an entente cordiale. The Marquis Ito induced the Opposition to support the naval programme owing to the threatening outlook in the Ear East.
A Melbourne gentleman who recently visited Japan on being questioned concerning the rumours of trouble brewing in the East roplied:~" That has been anticipated in Japan for some time. There was an undercurrent of excitement there when I left, and I heard that the furlough of the troops had been suddenly stopped. The Japanese don't seem in the least alarmed. They have a great idea of their military and naval strength, and J have frequently heard them say in conversation that they are prepared to tackle anyone."
