MUNEMITSU MUTSU,
THE New JAPANESE MINISTER TO
THE UNITED STATES.

United States, Mr.. Mutsu, is fOrty-five
years of age, and comes from family
of historical renown and of high de-
gree. In his early youth his family
estate was cOnfiscated on account of
some political troubles, and he left
his native province, travelling all
over the country and gathering in
formation as to it's institutions and
policy. He devoted his time to pri-
vate study, and is a self-made man.
While Japan was struggling under
the feudal government, or the ShO-
gunite regime, Mutsu espoused the
cause of the Mikado, and he soon be-
came great favorite in the Imperial
party.
He had frequent alterations with
his opponents, but his bravery and
skill saved his life and preserved him
harmless. The downfall of the Shog-
unite government followed, and upon
the restoration of the Mikado's adj
ministration he returned to his native
province, where he was honOred by
the prince and idolized by the people.
During the Franco-Prussian war he
was in Germany and remained there
about a year. Upon his return he was
appointed director of the bureau of
taxation, and elaborated the present
tax system of Japan. He was appoint
ed vice-president of finance, which he
resigned in about a year. Suisse
quently he became vice. presi-
dent of the senate, which he
presided over with ability and impair
TALLY. His popularity was then I'M
bounded. While in the hey-days of
brilliant achievements he was sud-
denly deprived of his rank and posi-
ton ON account of certain political
complications. In 1888 he made an
extensive tour Of America and Europe,
studying various systems of govern
ment and educational institutions.
He is a great admirer of the American
people, and this fact, no doubt,
prompted his selection as Minister to
this country. In his private life MIR.
Mutsu is most charming converse
tionalist and very entertaining host.
He is a gifted orator. In his personal
habits he is most abstemious. His pet
hobby is the cultivation of vegetables
and flowers.
Mr.. Mutsu has written consider
ably, and his political works stand
high in Japan. He is a close student,
anu Is cOuStdnIly euSdSeu LII soLno
literary work.
The minister is accompanied by Mrs
Sato, secretary of legation, and his
wife and daughter. There are also in
the party Mr.. Oda, newspaper man
of Japan, and Messrs. Turnkawa,
Glover, Malsudaira, Namamato, Luz
zuki, Kabayama, Dato, Nagasaka,
Tukushmia and Migimatsa, students
who come to America for the purpose
of completing their education. Mr..
Oda will visit all the large cities of
this country, and expects to take back
some ideas regarding American jour-
nalism.
