THAT GETS AN
to see the inside of the home of this dis
tinguished functionary. Those who at
tended found the dinner very much like
other dinners of a state character. There
were perhaps a dozen courses Of eatables
and a half dozen or more drinkables An
official who ranks away up next cabinet
officer was sitting in his office the day after
the entertainment, when your correspond
ent called on him to ask some questions
about the workings of his branch of the
service. He rubbed his head in dazed kind

walls. They are on long strips Of material,
which has roller at each end. so that you
may roll one end up as fast as you unroll
the other. The japanese minister seems 10
be very bright and intelligent man. who
speaks English fairly well, though he keeps
with him most of the time a man who
speaks and understands the language more
readily than he does, ana assists him when
he gets too far from shore"
