THE upshot of the affair in which the Japanese Government stopped, at the eleventh hour, a party of its subjects who were about to proceed to Peru to fulfil a country five years, has been that the contract they had signed to work in that Rurik left Yokohama for Callao on the 1st August without a single one of the men on board, and that the charterers of the vessel have instituted legal proceed. obtain compensation for the losses they inge against the Japanese Government to allege they have sustained in paying freight for the space that was to have been occupied by the men, in advancing wages to them, and in laying in provisions for their consumption during the voyage, The Japan Herald ways the charterers consider their position to be strong, inas much as they did not enter upon these several outlays until after the contracte had been finally remodelled by the Chiji of Tokio-fi himself, and the passporta had besa-isaned to the men, these passports were at the eleventh hour re- called by special order from the Depart ment of Foreign Affairs, and as a condi- tion for their re-issue, the foreign firm that acted here on. behalf of the Lime importers was called on to produce a special power of attorney, authorizing them to make these contracts in the name

and on behalf of the Lima firm; to make a deposit of $25,000, which was to remaini in the hands of the Japanese government until the expiry of the contracta, as security for any contingent claims for damages, and finally to prove that the Lima firm were owners of such property in Peru as might reasonably employ labourers of the class that had been hired. With these conditions the for- sign firm in Yokohama would not or could not comply, and the men remained behind. We have already expressed our conviction that the Japanese officials have acted rather foolishly in the matter, and our reasons for so thinking. The Japan Herald also points out that by Article 7 of the Treaty between Japan and Peru it is provided that "No restrictions shall be placed by either Government upon the employment of their respective citi- they may go freely from the one country rens reciprocally in any lawful capacity; to the other, fulfilling the conditions re- quired by the laws of their respective nationa"
