men composing the Embassy are sent out

great ability and influence in their native
country, the entire body being the most
important that the japanese Government
is able to send abroad.

The Embassy and suite, with the excep-
tion of the Prime Minister, arrived here
in the most outlandish English ready-made
garments of all styles since the flood, but
have already discarded them for the most
fashionable clothing obtainable here.
The Prime Minister still adheres to
the native costume of richly embroidered
satin. The reception by the civil, militia
~ and naval officers has been going on all

there is no vulgar sightseeing or offensive
curiosity manifested.

Iwakaura is somewhat over,fif years of
age, of second official rank, and man of
such superior ability as to be commonly
termed the Tenno's right-hand man.
THE Tenno is improperly termed the Mi

working executive officer of the japanese
Government To him, more than any
other man, is due the recent revolution
and its results, and he now wields cor
responding force in the japanese Minis
try.-Sdn Francisco Dispatch to N. Y. Times.
