GENTLY Mr. Mori the japanese Minister, very plainly
expresed his surprise at the conduct o. The Erening
Pas in publishinc statement concerning the native
Christians Of japan Itdescbed the treatment OF native
converts 10 Christianity, by the local authorities in a
most singular and terrific manner If such an utterly
false statement had appeared in worthless Journal, he
would not have cast thought upon ic bit Mr. Nor
regrets FOR The sake the paper that it took such
premature course and he believes that such indscree
and improper statements 10 he hereafter published

Apropos 20 the above We publish The following para

il:
I'VE refrancd from publishing IN Our last The accounts
received Japan al the persecution oi Christians be-
Heying that the statements which emanatcd from the
Va0qsdkt GGsCtG, were grossly exaggerated. We now
find by correspondence by this mall that snch IS the
case II that the paper lin question Is under the
influence of Roman Catholic priests at Nagasakl. and
no converts are said 10 be o. Their order. The state
,nent Lord Enfield, which VIII he found Ia our
parliamentary intelligence, reveals the truth
What Lord Ened said was, that co 20 heads Of fam
lies had been sent from NagasaB other parts of Japan
bur that the officials at Eedo had expressed regret at
this conduct on the part O the local authorities and
have sent officers make inquiries the snbjoct and
his Lordshp also stated that the Foreign Office had M
information az the atrocities cruetic practced on

the Eighteenth Markets. Essex Market was found
better condition than the markets previously visited
Upon entering the building the Controller was well
coined short speech by Mr.. Cornell stand-owner
who said that since Green's accession TO office the
msrketmen had felt encouraged to invest their surplus
earnings in decorating their sandsland TO do all IN their
power to aid the Controller in any efforts at market re-
form he might suggest. Mr. Green thanked the stand
owners for their kind greeting and said that he was
disposedto urge upon the proper auth9piteS IMPROVE
ments commensurate with the city needs.
The next visit was paid to Union Market at Houston
and second sts which found in excellent condition,
the staldowners making no complaints NO formal re,
cepton Occurred here and the Controller next visited
the Eightee nth Ward Market fine and massive struc
ture admirably constructed for market purposes, Dut
wrongly located and nearly deserted IL capable OF con-
tanning 800 large stands but only five or SIX are III use at
present and the occupants complain OF want or business
The nearness OF the Manhattan Gas Works and the e1
ste OF dumping ground in the rear make the site
peculiarly Objectionable. The Controller expressed him.

TRICKS OF DISHONEST BEER MANUFACTURERS.

the matter before the Legislature and TO ask that BODY

dealers purchase beer by the barrel and not by the gal

the outside But the dealers discovered that the gauge
mark afforded indication Of the quantity Within and
although gmethOle in the top OF the CORK caused the
beer or it's foam rush at TO the outlet yet tls
was no guide to the quantity within, because the pres
sure with which t is necessary to charge the liquid in
order to keep fresh and paatabe is sufficient to force
it 10 an opening the cask in reality is partially filed
The dealers who had tested with gauge-rods the capa-
city Of the barrels when empty and who continue to find
deficiency in their contents, after time discovered
tricks in barrel making which the gaugerod was not call
cuated to reveal Testing capacity of the same bar
rels by gallon measurement, discrepancies were dis
covered in 32gaon casks Of from two ito five gallons
from the gaugerod measurement and upon taking out
the heads Of the barrels IL ascertaned that the edges
of the heads the ends of the saves and the bunghoe
staye were paned down to such bnness 90 cause the
gauge-rod 70 sink beyond the average length OF the
slaves, and thus indicate false measurement; l.,
Hence they found themselves liable to be defrauded IN
casks, whether filled or empty. ana system was sug
