The japanese steamer Candinmarruh, which left

America, with news from the Ambassadors, created
great excitement both amongst the Americans
and Japanese. The foreigners were anxious to
hear how the japanese had been received in Ameri-
ca, and the japanese fearful lest the Ambassa
dors would not survive the great trip across the
pond. However, all doubts dspeed when
the great mail was distributed, bringing New York
almost within hailing distance with this out-of-the-
