"A correspondent OF the New York Tribune,
writing from Yokohama, makes some unpleasant
STATEMENTS concerning the decline Of American
infuence in Japan. BE atirms that this decline
may be charged wholly to the narrow policy OF
our government. Since our nrst minister, very
capable man. laid the foundations OF our relations

sadors and the parstmonious course OF The gov
ernment, have caused the United States TO iau

the enlargement OF the American minister's pow
ers and OF his suite will give him increased oppor'
tunites to advance the interests OF his country
men In Japan. -
