the Heads of Departments from the
Japanese GOvernment-OmclaI Visit to
the Custom m-HOuse-IntervieW with Mr..

The movements of the japanese Embassy
Yesterday were omparatiYely unimportant
Thoroughly fatigued from their efforts on Mon
day, and their trip from California, they re-
mained during the morning and portion of the
afternoon IN their rooms at the Metropolitan
Hotel, where they create almost the amount of
interest which was bestowed on their predc-
cessors in the same establishment seven years
since. Their politeness and courtesy to all who
notice them has won for them the respect and
attention of the guests.
Yesterday several of the Commissioners ap-
peared in American attire, having ald aside
their native costume. Seky Senpaty, one OF
The interpreters, wore suit OF black, aud
seemed much pleased at the change he had
adopted. He was supplied with stock Of
linen and paper collars, and some OF the other
etceteras OF masculine dress, which he will
probably introduce in Japan, where they may
be the means OF creating innovations on the i'm.
II emoIlal attire of the natives. He is shrewd
Intellectual man, who boasts that he is init
IUately acquainted with japanese Tommy, VINO
vas one OF the lions of New York shortly be-
tore the war. He states that Tommy was about
10 leave Jeddo for Shanghai as Government
Interpreter, before the embassy departed from
Yokohama.

AT 10 O'Clock, Mr.. Charlton, who accompanied
the Embassy, with 0yasawara Kendo, who holds
the rank of First Lieutenant in the japanese
Navy, and Uwata Haisaku, Second Lieutenant

rouse, where they were conducted to the cham
Der of Mr.. Smythe. The Collector received
them courteously, and promised them every
possible facility at his comm and to resume their
journey. Mr.. Charlton then stated that the
object of his visit was to obtain the necessary
permission to have the baggage of the Embassy

The Collector at once furnished the necessary
