The 'Japs'' at the White House.
The members Of the Japanese Embassy, accom-
panied by the Secretary of State called the White
House to-day ana paid their respects to the PresI-
dent. Quite an interesting interview transpired.
There were present atv the Executive Man
sion, In addition to the President and
Secretary Fish, all the members of the
Cabinet and the Commissioner OF Indian Affairs.
No set speeches were made. The Japanese Assist.
ant Minister or Finance informed the President Of
the objects OF his mission here which, as already
generally known, is to obtain an insight
concerning the management OF our financial
system. In response to this he was as
sured that our Secretary Of the Treasury would
afford him the facilities for obtaining the
desired information. The members OF the Embassy
wero personally introduced to the officials present
by Secretary Fish, and at the close Of the interview
with the President escorted through the differ
ent parlors Of the Executive Mansion. The gov
ern0r in charge Of the Embassy presented let
ter OF introduction to Secretary Boutwell,
from Mr.. DE Long, the American Minister
Resident at Yokohama The letter states that the
official whom 1t introduces has given great atten-
ton to the study OF the finance OF Europe and
America, and prefers our system to any other. and
is therefore anxious to inspect our mints, invest
gate the manufacture and issue Of our paper money
and inform himself about our revenue laws. The
Japanese government has completed but not put In

1t desires to adopt some general and satisfactory
system paper currency In place Of the crude and
unsatisfactory issue now extant The Embassy will
visit the Treasury tomorrow.
