LATE NEWS FROM JAPAN
Causes Some Discomfort to State Depart

Causes Some Discomfort to State Depart
ment Onicials.
State Department officials are concerned at
the news brought by lately arrived steamships
from Japan to the effect that American
and other foreign missionaries in Japan
being treated with violence and in
dignity. No official reports of these occur
rences have been received at the department
and it is hoped that the circumstances have
been exaggerated in these first advices The
particularly discomforting aspect of the case is
due to the fact that heretofore the Japanese
people we'll the government have
treated the American missionaries with the great
est indulgence and have even welcomed them to
the country. that if the reports are true it is
evident that change Of popular feeling has
taken place and the missionaries in Japan NAV
hereafter have to contend with such spirit Of
intolerance as has b>sn encountered in China.

tributions from the churches and the women &
boards. but in spite of that the board was able
to make the gratifying statement that after all
expenses were paid the year would close with a
balance of S50.000.
The report also referred to the contributions
received from the colored people-money, it
was stated, which was given under difficulties
and at good deal of se!f-sacrifice. The con-
contributions from this source alone amounted
to $5O,0O0.
The work under the charge Of the board had
made progress and there were now 25S churches
sustained by the board Reference was also
made to the necessity Of enlarging the building
occupied by the schools. The work of the

the education of the colored people was COM
