THE AMERICAN VISITORS,

WARM APPRECIATION OF JAPANESE COURTESY!

SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM MR. TAFT

TO THE GOVERNMENT.

Mr. Tuft and party, on sailing for home from Japan, addressed the following communi- cation to the Japanese Minister of Foreign A Fairs:-

THE Admiralty is contemplating a change in Naval uniform, and proposes the abolition of straw hats,, lease, tunics, baggy trousers, cloth material, hown decks, white starched shirts, and waistcoats, and the introduction "This company, consisting of seven Senators of peaked caps buttoned juckets, trousers of and twenty-four Representatives in the Con ordinary pattern, white, knitted jerseys, whitexress of the United States, the Secretary of soft shirts, khaki working suits, brown hools: War, and others, including the daughter of the all ratings to wear the same style of uniform, President, making a party of some eighty per the only difference being in badges, buttons sons, has visited the Philippine Islands for the purpose of acquiring information as to the and class of material,

economic and other conditions existing in the Archipelago. On its way, the company landed at Yokohama and remained in Japan from July 25th until the 1st of August, when it sailed from Nagasaki.

friendship with the island empire, seeing that without some such step China will be isolated. The Peking Government, upon the decree of the Empress Dowager intends in appoint an early date to open negotiations with Japan, re- garding the Manchurian question, and broadly of an adhance between the two nations, China asking for Japan's sympathetic co-operation in her present position.

During that period, the members of the company were recipients of the hospitality of His Imperial Majesty, of His Imperial High ness Prince Fushimi, of His Excellency Count Katsura, the Prime Minister and Acting Foreign Becretary, of His Exceliency General Terauchi, Minister of War, of the principal commercial bodies of the Japanese capital, and of the cities of Yokohama, Tokyo, Kyoto, Kobe and Nagasaki.

I think this proceed. ing is very unfair to my client, as in his evidence witness said nothing about defend- ant being the man who struck film, nor anything to connect him with the affair. Now that it it put to witness straight, "do you eccognise the defendant," of course he says lin does, in order to fasten the blame on some one.
