Appearances of considerablo agitation in poll tical circles contloge to present themselves. The allestien resolves itself now into briefly this, that three sections of the Constitutional Party have each put forward a candidate for the partielle of Foreign Affairs and are all believed to be Insisting sinhbornly upon their title in the nomination. The Tosa acction, represented by Count Itagaki ard Mr. Hayashi, are said to advocate the selection of Baron Ite Miyoji ; the Progressist section, rep cleated y Count Okuma, Mr. Ozaki, Mr. Oblgashi, and Mr. | Oishi, want to secure the appointment of Mr. Kato-now Minister in London ;-and Mr. Matsuds, together with the Liberals that do not belong to the Tosa and Kwanto coterlo are calling out for Mr. Hesbl Torn. It is not anlikely that the story of this dispate, au sub. mitted to the public, bis bega considerably exaggerated, for the newspapers recounting it bave not hitherto shown themselves at all friendly to the Cabinet. But what they say is tree, the new poli-ical party's prospects are already beginning to be cleaded. For it wou'd reem ibat the union between the Progressists and the Liberals is of a very bollow character, They have not become faved into a home geneous whole, but will real their nepk fate · Individualities, and insist upon an equal partliion of the administrative power.

MILITARY SPIES IN JAPAN.

VANCOUVER (B. C.). July it

The Osaka Mafulcës states that foreign mill- tary spies are constantly arrivlig at Yokohama. The important naval stations and forts in the viclalty and the proximity of the port to the im- || portal capital are the attractions. Some times as many as twenty are there at one time. At present there are fire foreigners in Yokohama of whom strong evidence has been obtained to identify them as military spies.

The authorities know that there are Japanese traitors who serve these foreign splex, and a strict search is beleg fastitated to discover these men. When fou:& they will receive condign punishment very soon, as the evidence le all fn. It is said that the trial will bring scandal to cer talo circles I create a profound sensation, but the Japanese Government is bound to observe nenitallly and show at the same time that their desire is to be ranked 13's first-class 'civilized nation by the United States.
