At Osaka has only its mosts and walls
intact rs relics Of the feudal DAYS, and
other castles have been deliberately torn
down and dismantled but Nagoya' s
towers stand and the bugle-cslls
echo daily around its quain,ly-gabled
citadel. In the great parade-grounds
outside tho deep inner moat there
are barracks and Office buildings IN
foreign style, and dumpy little soldiers
in white dnck coats and trousers aud
visored caps stand as sentries on tue
fixed bridges aud in the portals OF the
huge, heavy rooted, iron-clamped gate
ways. For picturesqueness and harmony
there should be men IN old armor, with
spears or bows on duty in such MEDIEVAL
surroundings. and the alarms should be
given on hoarse-toned gongs, or on
conchshell bugles, as in the good OLD
feudal days.
Instead, the commandant OF Nagoya
has on his staff young men from the old
feudal families, who talk French, Ger
man, or English, according TO the conn

gusta district, accompanied by Senators
Brown and COlqutt and the two south Caro-
Ina ttnatOrs, Hampton and ButicT, called on
Tie President Yesterday aud extended an iu-
yitatiOu 20 him and Mrs. Cleveland and tre
members % bis Cabinet and their families 10
visit Augusta during The Exposition TO be
held there this ilil. The AFFAIR was Of An I'm.
tire informal character and devoid OF cereioo-
ny. MsjOr Barnes was The chief taiktr and
his remarks were endorsed by the other
members Of the delcostiou. He said that
Augusta had raised f0r tue Exposition by
priyNe subscription a larger amount Of
money than bad ever been raised 10y any
other southern city Tor such purpose
and that the Exposition was 10 be
81 national ehsra ter. The people OF
Augusta had depended entirely upon them
selves and bad not solicited outside aid. The
Exposition building would be larger than
any which had ever been erected IN he
south. Augusta, Mr. Barnes said, was DIFF
iercnt from other southern cities. II was an
Old town and as people were oid-fashioned,
conservative folks. The history o. the town
was spoken OF. and the attention OF the Presl-
don't MAS drawn 20 the fact that u had vel
coined Washington 10 It's hospitality during
his FIRST administration. The people o. Au-
0usja. he AID, would rejoice 70 welcome the
President as an illusuiOus successor oil
Washington.
The President, IN reply, cordially thanked
the delegation for the invitation cXtendedio
him, but SAID that IN The present state OF
public business, Congress being still IN ses-
sion, II was impossible for him 40 present
other TO scccp, or decline the invitation.
lie would, however, take the matter under
adYsement and would subsequently INFORM
the delegation o. DIS decision.
MAJOR Barnes expects 10 receive definite
answer in about teu DAYS.
