REFORM IN JAPAN,
A Yokolloma Merchant .alks About the

a YOkohOmR Merchant Gnlks About the
Conditions That Call for u Change.
CHICAGO, DC. GA. @. Reed, a
prominent merchant OF Yokohoma, is in
the city on his way to New York.
Talking OF Japanese affairs, Mr., Reed
says the only agitation there now is the
excitement caused by wide opposition
to the proposed revision OF the treaties
with European and American powers.
The most general opposition Is caused
by the proposed concession that foreign.
ers may go anywhere, reside in any
place In the empire. or own land, or
change In business. The larger part OF
the empire still retains such repugnance
10 the admission Of foreigners, Mr..
Reed further said that through the re-
revision OF the treaties, there will be an
immediate increase In the duties OF the
imperial tariff on imports. While the
advance now talked Of is not great, II
may suffice for the restoration OF many
industries now supposed to BE- dead.
Another gain Is the abolition OF extra
territorial jurisdiction within five years
after the ratification.
The assumption by foreign nations Of
the right to exercise Jurisdiction over
the subjects resident In japan has been
u source Of constant iDjusticeto the Jap.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
The Big Contract Two American
Missionaries Have,
THEIR ABUNDANT GROUNDS
For the Accusation Against Moussa
hey and the DIHloulty They are
Expected to Experience in u
Turkish CouFt-other News.

LONDON, Dec, 27,-There is no doubt
that Messrs, Knapp and Robinson, the
two American missionaries who have
brought charges Of outrageous assault
against Meussa Bey, have abundant
grounds iortheir accusations, The opin.
ion Is generally prevalent that they have
taken q big contract TO prove this case
In Turkish court, even with the assiS,
lance Of the American AID British d.
p,OnatlG representatives at tue Porte.
With their case already weakened by re-
ligiOus prejudice, it Ia surmised that the
unsupported testimony Of the two gem
Ilemen will have little or no weight
against the swarm Of witnesses who, al
though II Is probable they were not in
Armenia When the alleged outrage took
place, and perhaps were never there,
may be depended upon 10 swear 10 any
thing aud everything except the truth,
Then the defense will probably be seL up
that the reverend gentlemen were them-
selves the aggressors In having inter-
iered In matters which did not concern
them, and were merely prevented from
further interference by the mildest
means consistent with the violence uf
their pragmatiCal bent. Already II is
asserted, as II to prepare the public
mind for the line OF defense To be pur-
sued, that the missionaries had taken
advantage ofthe privileges accorded to
them, as IL must be said that missiuna.
lies have too often done In America and
many other countries, to incite the
Christians 10 dis0bedience OF the laws
aud Customs and defy the authorities.
This contention being made, it will be
held by the Turkish officials that II any
outrages were committed which 81 not
10 be admitted, they were simply Incl
dental to the official action restraining
the two gentlemen from further attempla
To usurp the functions of one govern
ment.
Messts, Knapp aud Robinson may be
innocent oil this accusation aud probably
are, but II is a matter VI record that gem
temen OF their calling too in qurntly
combine the meddlesOme zeal Of Paul
Pry with their single duty Oi proUga-
ting the Christian failh aud exhibit a
marvellous readiness t0 complain II they
are promptly aud very properly sat upon.
Apropos OF the Turkish assertion that
the gentlemen were given 10 pOking
their noses into tho affairs Of other peO-
pie, 1t will be- noted that one OF them,

TIE CONDITION OP TRADE.

The Open Weather and It's Effect on Busl-
ness Iron Prosperous-The Coal Trade.
New YoRK, Dec. 27,-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly revelw says: AT western
points, with scarcely any exception at
the open weather aud bad condition Of
country roads are noticed as causes OF
unusually slow collections. In other
respects the reports OF trade are gener.
ally satisfactory. The movement OF
grain at Chicago continues, equal TO that
Of last year to date, with an Increase OF
80 per cent in the receipt OF products
and receipts OF butter nearly doubled; /;
increase In lard, but some decline in
cheese, wool and hides.
The weak points OF the situation are
those trades which are Iuost affected by
two successive mild winters. The an.
thracite coal trade IL stagnant. In the
absence OF demand, and the situation is
almost without precedent. More than
half OF the Reading coal mines have
closed, throwing 5000 miners out Of
work, and II Is stated that 10000 miners
are working on three.quarters, time
The bituluinous coal trade is more active
but lacking cars.
No definite relief in the wool goods
can be expected until prolonged cold
weather has caused well sustained de-
mand, and the clothing business In all
parts OF the country must necessarily
depend to great extent upon the
weather. On the other hand, the iron
business continues to prosper. Though
sales Of pig are not very large, prices are
very frm at Philadelphia and $40 so is
quoted here for No. /. Sales Of $1,000
tons OF steel rails are reported, with the
price steady at $35 east and $50 % at
Chicago. Bar iron is firm at 2 cents and
confidence in the future is in all
branches Of the iron and steel business
undiminished.
In speculative markets corn has dror-
ped q cents. Wheat unchanged, but
oats nearly lc lower. Pork products are
substantially unchanged, petroleum a
quarter ot cent lower with inslgnif.
cent trading, coffee quarter higher,
and cotton steady at small safes. Tight
money continues here and Philadel.
phia and relaxation is not TO be expected
now until after the January disburse-
lnents. The business failures occurring
throughout the country number 2SS.
