answer
~ consider the reports from Japan contained in the.
China newspapers, being quite unreliable, and in
special manner those lately published concerning the
change Of ministry
II may be true that change of ministry has taken
place, but the rumor lacks confirmation. ft
The Prince Of Bingo, who came into power In August
last represents the old party but he like Lord Derby
England found himself compelled TO follow the policy OF
his predecessors. change has taken place il cannot
naugurate any policy regards the foreign inter
course Of japan. %W
For myself change would be quite agreeable, as it
would bring my personal friends again into power You
recolect the enormous cdnaris to the Shanghae
papers last year first putting the late Emperor 10 DEATH
by order of the Mkado, and then making him perform
the Hara Kri and other operations equally absurd The
late Emperor died in respectable and legitimate
from threetold attack Of epilepsy, dropsy and the
doctors.
