fairies and recently Secretary OF Legation at Yedo
returns England very soon, having been transferred

Much speculation has arisen among foreigners over
rumors of serious between tho Ministers
OF various nations and the Japanese Government For
once these reports wholly without foundation.
Soon after the return Of the Embassy the question OF
reaty revision being brought up, EFFORT made TO
secure q promise that the whole empire should be
thrown open to foreigners. This met by proposal
tba
privilege Of eYterritorai Jurisdiction. 1t declared
that this would not DO conceded uDdor any circum-
stances whereupon the Japanese Government not only
declined to entertain the project OF opening tho coun
try, but began gradually TO withdraw certain
liberties vhich they voluntarily permitted some
time ago. II 10 supposed that this was done
10 show that the unyIeding temper Of tho foreign
representatives could easily be c0mbated by strict
adherence the part OF the japanese to the letter OF
the territorial regulations. Although their right TO
restrain foreigners within the prescribed limits
as sort Of retaiatory the claims for the bal
auce of the smOnose indemnity have been presented
nv some OF the ministers and pressed with unusual
.arneatuess. They will be met promptly by offers of
i,o,oe,,iate payment, result which was neither
.ctsd nor altogether desired Thus the advantage will
he for while on the side OF the japanese. EYterrto
rial Jurisdiction now the only important subject for
debate The foreign ministers all instructed to
enforce 90 continuance notwithstanding the fact that
a.. pr,,ish Government, after consde has un-
condemned the principles OF ca territorial
risdictiou IN the case or emma.
