consisting Of Twakura, Prime
Minister Of Japan, coming as En-
voy Extraordinary and Minister
! Plenipotentiary 10 the treaty
powers; kedo, i member Of the
Imperial Privy Council and AS
sistant Ambassador; Akabo, Chief
Minister Of Finance and Assistant
Ambassador; Ito, Assistant Min
lister Of Public Works and Ambas-
sador Of tho second rank, and
Hama Gueki, Assistant Minister
Of Foreign Affairs and Ambassa-
dor of the second rank, arrived at
San Francisco on Monday last, on
the steamer America. The Am
bassadors have with them twenty
siX attaches, sixteen secretaries
and interpreters, sixteen servants
and twenty-thrcc Japanese STU
dents, who are bound for New
York. This is the most imror-
tant embassy ever sent from ia
pan, and comes for the purpose Of
comforting with the Governments
Of the treaty powers in relation
to the revision Of the treaties de-
manded to be made before July Of
the present year. Mr.. Dclong,
the American Minister, vii reach
Washington with the embassy.
Hon. Charles W. Brooks, Japanese
Consul, also accompanies tho en-
bassy. Mrs. DeLong, the wife of
the American Minister, has in
charge six japanese girls Of high
rank, who are to be educated in
this country.
A late cdict of the Mikado says:
"My country is now undergoing l
complete change from old to new
ideas, which l sincerely desire.
Therefore, | call Oh all the wise
and stropgminded to appear and
become good guides to the Gov
crnmcnt. During the youth time,
it is positively necessary to view
foreign countries, so as TO become
enlightened rs to new ideas Of the
world, and both boys and girls,
who will soon become men and
women. should be allowed to go
abroad, and my country will be
benefited by this knowledge SO
acquired. Females have hereto
fore had no position socially, be-
cause it was considered they were
without understanding; but if ed
uca.ed and intelligent, they should
have due respect"
