THE great Japatese EmDassy Hds ietufHeu IrOm
Its grand to1r. and the world still goes round.
For the last three or four weeks we have been
undera somewhat vague apprehension that with
the return OF the Embassy some thing strange and
startling would occur. But although the Minis
sters have returned there has been no great revo-
lution no turmoil no coavulslon OF natures not
even an earthquake or . tidal wave. We hear
nothing now OF Makura Before he returned It
was, "Wait till Iw akura gets back;n "watt till the
Embassy is here.n And perhaps 1t was en- account
OF this fact tc.at everything in Japan that could
be so left Was left unfinished till Iwakura came
back. We uius expected something grand or ter
rible TO take place with his advent But he has
come back, and probably intends TO enjoy few
days rest before ne plunges into public business.
ADMINISTRATIVE CHANCES.
There are TO be some changes made, and what
effect the presence Of Iwakura viii have upon
those changes remains to be seen. have stated
before that there are two parties represented In
the different governmental departments OF this
country, Uz.:-Young Japan, that wants TO go
ahead, anyhow and .anyway-that is, desirous OF
building railroads, telegraphs, steamboats,; OF
wearing swallow-ral coats and Dundrcary
whiskers; OF eating beef and using chairs and
tables, and. also party that wants to make haste
slowiy-a party that proposes to wait for the
means before they introduce every Improvement
IN the country; party that would wish to see
what effect the changes already made in the coun-
try are going to have upon the material
progress before they inaugurate new and
more expensive Ones To which side
viii fwakura turn9 That is the great
question. And there win be good
fight made between the two parties,
let him take whatsoever he may. Besides, it is
rumored that Iwakura has succeeded in OFFENDING
OF the leaders Of both parties and that he will
find q strong opposition element IN the very party
that ne will select to act with in the future. Take
1t all together, the returned Imperial Ambassador
win not have very easy task ior the next lew
RELATIONS TO coREA-
1t has been published IN the local papers OF Yoko-
hama that Japan has decided to go to war with
Corea ms Is is not true as far as the immediate
having settled her relations with China on o salts
factory and amcable footing does intend, by and
BY to chastise Corea II she can, for her insulting
behavior OF last year. is most sure but she proposes
70 abide her own good time. But should not be
surprised II they attempted to execute their pur-
pose some time next summer.
FINANCE.

SOUTH AMERICAN DIPLOMACY.
The Peruvian Legation has left Japan for

they can. The success which has attended the
efforts OF the Embassy here warrants the hope |
that they will be equally as fortunate in China.
