THE PLANS OF JAPAN.
(FROM THE "WASHINGTON POST,”)
Mr. Kogoro Takahira, Japan's Minister at Washington, gave to The Post last evening vory interesting and instructive interview upon the future of his country. It is the first time tinctos negotiation of the coat of Portsmouth, in watch he played such a distinguished part, that he has discussed publicly this absorbing topic. The minister was reluctant at first to talk for publication, but finally wanted when the character of the interview desired was out lined to him. The minister chose his words carefully, for bespoke of the reports concerning Japan's alleged designs with respect to the Philippine Islands, the open door," and the bunden of debt with which bis country is loaded down on account of the war with Russis. He also alluded to the rumour that Japan was preparing the Chinese people for an uprising against farther Occidental invasion of their territory and extension of influence through their land. In his interview Minister Takahira bald

BY DOCTORS.
It is gratifying to note that every year a large number of consumption hospitals and sanatoria use Angler's Falsion systematically. What better proof can be given of its value? For the successful treatment of affections there are two main 'essentials-first to lung heal the lung tissue, and second to improve nutrition. Angier's Emulsion does both. No other remedy has such a soothing and healing effect upon the entire respiratory mucous membrane, while is effect in pro moting appetite, aiding digestion and assimilation, and improving nutrition has been demonstrated beyond question of doubt, and is an established fact of thera- peutics. From the very first symptom of consumption up to the last stage of the discaso no better remedy cau be employed. Angier's Emulsion positively has no equal for the treatment of coughs, Bronchitis, and all RECOMMENDED respiratory inflammations. It is pleasant to take and agrecs perfectly with deleate stomachs, As petroleum is not an animal oil, it is acceptable to all castes. BY NURSES, Furthermore, in its preparation the Emulsion is un.

"I see sometimes in the newspapers com.. plaints against Japan for baving the ultra motiva against the American passession of the Philippine Islands, and also for educating the Chinese students in order to turn them ultimately against the Western nations On the contrary, we feel great repose about the Philippines, because they are occupied by the United States with the firm hold of its authority over the archipelago--not speaking of many object lessons given there by the new owner by introducing modern improvements in various ways. The education of the Chineso students is also encouraged in Japan for the pur- pose of modernizing their people in order enable them to look after their
to
own affairs. The troubles in the Far East hitherto arisen are to be attributed in my opinion, mainly to the want of the authority in these countries, but now the United States hau the possession of the Philippines, Japan has curtain rights over Korea, and if China can be helped hereafter to control her own people and her own matters by reorganizing and developing administrative order in that empire, I hope the maintenance of peace in the Far East will not be so difficult; and if the United States. which has bitherto contributed so largely to their wal fare, will continue to help them is some way compatible with its interest, which has been considered in Japan identical with her own, it will be welcomed in the Far East not only as their friend bat sb> as their benefactor.
*Yan ask me about Japan's ability to mast ber indebtedness, which was largely increased during the war. It is true that rather pissi mistic views bave been lately expressed in some quarters about our financial códition, bat it Appears they originated from the speech deliver- ed by Count Okuma some weeks ago before the Congress of Ausoniated Chambers of Commerce at Tokyo. I and not a Enancier myself, and I have, necessarily, to borrow the views of some competent person in discussing certain features of such matters. Acco ding to the financial agent of Japan now in Loaidon, whose state- most appeared in same English paper, Count Okuma is said to have expressed his pessimisti e views for the purpose of inducing his hoarers to still further effort by using larger figures than are notually about our debts, the total amount of which is now, in round numbers, $960,000,000, instead of $1,250,000,000 as estimated by the speaker, and the interest, thereen about $50,000,000, instead of $75,000,000, thus making the por capito shore of the national debt after the war about $20 instead of $25.
