Affairs in Japan.


New YORK, Oct. A Washington dispatch
says that at the interview yesterday between the
president and the japanese envoy Minister
AIOri, in response to a remark of the presidents
relative to the recent news from Japan, said that
his own advces up to this time did not sustain
it, but he hoped soon to he able to lay fall intel
ligencc before this government. The president
remarked that the progrCssiOniStS appeared to
be far in advance of public sentiment which
Mori admitted, repeating his views of a day or
two ago that the best policy was TO admit the
retrogressiOniSts to their share of power and
aSSimllate them 10 the prOgressives by educa-
ton Mori further sail that in his opinion the
progressive tendency is irresistible. Further
conversation was had in reference to the Japan
csc loan and the construction OF Japanese naval
vessels in New York. The legation, it is said,
is evidently alarmed at the wide publicity given
to the late news upon the internal situation OF
the empire.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-Mr. Mori, charge
d'affaires Of Japan, has just received a telegram
from San Francisco, with latest advices from
Japan, namely, Sept. 7th, stating that the coun-
try was quiet and governmental affairs progress
ing iayoraby. Mr.. Mort authorizes denial OF
the truth Of the statement recently telegraphed
hence and widely published, including that OF
the alleged anti-prOgresSiOn movements in
Japan; and says that Gen. CapIon and E. Pesh-
inc Smith have not been discharged. Mr.. Mori,
instead of being removed as charge d'affares,
voluntarily offered his resi- gnation last winter for
purely private reasons. During last summer
he was officially informed by his government
that his duties had been satisfactorily per-
formed, and as an evidence of its appreciation
of Mr.. Mori, his rank was raised to that of min
lister resident. While thanking his government
for this distinguished consideration, he insisted
on his resignation. This desire, he believes, will
be repeated; but he will remain here until
further orders.
SAN Francisco, Oct. 4.--ThG Japan Herald
says; lwakura complained formally that he was
unable to accomplish at Washington his own
treaty designs on account of the opposition Of
MOn the Japanese charge d'affaires, and Uyena
has been appointed the successor of Mori.

taken and destroyed, Il motion to dismiss was

A MONOGRAPH ON BEER.-While the god
Bacchus has had all sorts OF oyations paid him
in all ages both in prose and verse, it is some
what remarkable that King Gambrnus, owning
perhaps as large a kingdom, has had so little
literature devoted to him. Some bold writer
has, however, taken up the cudgels and pub
hShCd work in Dresden under the title OF
"Bierstudien; a True History of the Noble Pro-
duct of Barley" ofwhich the Augsburg Gazette
treats us to the following extracts:
According to DOdorus, Hcrodotus,and Plny,
the Egyptian King Osiris was the first who, two
thousand years before the Christian era, formed
the idea of brewing beer of which he produced
two different kinds, one spiced, and the other
somewhat similar TO wine. The Egyptians, and
no doubt the Jews also, initiated him, while the
Greeks invented a double beer (DizOdOs?), and
Tacitus tells us that the ancient Germans could
not live without beer, and that it was one of
the chief qualities in their wives to be able to
prepare it. 1t is 10 the Germans also that we are
indebted for the actual mode of present manufac-
ture, by the use of hops, which was commenced
in 1919. tSlnce the commencement of the mid
die ages the use of beer has spread, especially
in the north, and became at last so great that il
once caused q famine. King Gambrinus or
Gambrivius, the presumed inventor of beer, il
we are to believe the "Annales Bajorum" oil
Aventnus, lived 1880 years before Christ, and
regned over country extending from the Rhine
to the Ural 1t was he who gave names to the
towns OIL HamDurgn ana CamOray, Beer was
originally exceeding by well prepared in the clois.
ters. Later it became the custom to manulac.
urc it in cities and so far back as 1865 an ordi-
nance was passed at Augsburg respecting brew
ers, vendors of a drink which the old Germans
hoped to drink one day in the Walhalla with
Odin, and to have handed to them by beautiful
Young girls. In the 18th century the introduc.
ton of the use OF tobacco caused large increase
in the consumption IF beer About this time an
imperial poet, one Doctor Knaust, having gone
upon tour Of observation to learn the different
species of beer then in use, came upon mum.
Der of fancy names for it that would puzzle the
memory even of a New York barkeeper. Among
others he says he drank at Dantzig some excel.
lent "Take care of YOURSELF" at Baxhetudc
some equally good a don't know him;" at Els
leben some "Scratch the WALL" at Merseburg
some "Murder and assassnation;" at Lizerodc
some "AasP and Lauenburg some at can't be
better" As regards the history and statistics OF
beer, the anecdotes and traditions attached to it,
this book is spoken of as exceedingly curious
afIording both amusement and Instruction.

The government has received information of

the gulf shore and thence into the interior to
railroad points. Measures have been taken to
suppress the smuggling and arrest the offenders.
