Japan and she United States.
New YoRK, June 25th.-The Tribune re-
porter has interviewed gentleman who, it
says, is the highest authority in the United
States on Japan affairs and who said the
anti Chinese movement on the Pacific Coast
does not attract much attention in Japan,
nor is it likely to do go in the future. Japan
has no paupers to send to America, and, as
heretofore, she will not send any of her peo-
pie across the Pacific except for the purpose
of acquiring such wisdom or knowledge as is
best calculated to promote the prosperity and
happiness of her own people. The commerce
of Japan and America can be much increased.
Mechanical and agricultural facilities have
become much the fashion. Two hundred and
fifty newspapers and other journals are regu.
larry published and supported in the Empire.
The relations between Japan and China are
now as friendly as could be desired. The
standing disputes are kept up TO great ex-
tent by designing, selfish men, who do not
belong TO either nationality.

Surprised Democrats.
NEW YoRK, june 25.h-An Albany spe-
cial says: The decision made by the Chair
to-day that quorum was present in the
Joint Convention was q genuine surprise to
the Democrats, and they showed it. 1t was
evident that they had been calculating upon
having less than quorum present, and meant
to use that fact for the purpose of rai;irg a
question as to whether, without quorum,
there could be ballot. and if any day passed
without ballot, whether that fact did not
dislualify the present Legislature from elect
ing Senators, and throw the question over to
the Legislature to be elected next fall, thus
taking the question TO the polls under the
United States statute which ordains that the
Legislature shall take at le3st one ballot ev.
cry day in its session.

The Act of Congress regulating the election
of United States Senators specifies that q
