| In answer to the question which nation
stands in best repute with the japanese he
said The commercial policy of the English
| is such es command many privileges, but the
Japanese undoubtedly consider Americans
very friendly. They realize the fact that we
are true friends, and have no inclination to
! force upon them our wares at our prices
| They are daily becoming mora and more in
| dependent and as their education advances
! they more and more appreciate their i'm
portance and their rights under the laws of
nations They look upon America as their
natural trading point, and If untrammeied,
| would undoubtedly buy most of their goods
from US. The present Ministry is, accord
| ingly, friendly toward US. They are fond of
| the French, in fact, well disposed to all
| foreigners who treat them fairly and kindly.
| The time has passed when japanese officers
could be bullied into any measure they may
deem detrimental.
How are Americans treated in Japan ?"
asked the reporter.
with the utmost courtesy aud attention
| and greatest Kindness Mr.. Stephens replied.
"Iu the Empire of Japan there are about
1000 foreigners, aud Of these 500 are Ameri-
cans, and in Yokohama about 400. Others
are scattered in smaller cities. There are
about 100 Americans in the employ of the
Japanese Government, and our private
japanese Companies. Americans have almost
entire control of educational affairs. The
Japanese prefer America when they go abroad
| for education. There are fully 800 American
missionaries in japan. They do good work
and live pleasantly and with comparative
ease. In Yokohama some large business
houses are An erican. All the largest tea
houses have of late years sustained very
| heavy losses. America controls the kerosene
trade and this trade represents from 10 0O0,-
600 to 1900 0o0 gallons annually. The
/ United States is rapidly regaining its cotton
trade With China, aud in due time we are GER
| tain to secure cotton trade in Japan. At
present the English undertake the United
States by selling very inferior article that
iu external appearance seems equal to the
American article"
