In view Of the fact that the Minister ar
rived in Washington only yesterday the

but this is accounted for by the desire of
the new Minister to pTesenthi credentials

State Department before the President

Myioka, the charge d'affalres of the lega-
tion. were brought into the presence of the

"The promotion of the friendly rela-
tions which so happily exist between
Japan and the United States has alwavs
been a matter OF deep concern to his
Imperial Majesty, and he has viewed with
pleasure the steady growth of the i'm
portance and intimacy OF the intercourse
between the two nations. These senti-

WANTON AGGRESSION.
What a Writer Says of Japan's
Attitude.

LONDON. Aug. 2S.-A dispatch to the
Times from Berlin says: The National
Zeiiung publishes advance sheets of an
article to appear in the September Bund-
schau by Herr Brandt. formerly German
Minister 10 Peking. The writer accuses
japan of absolute wanton aggression to-
ward Korea. The Japanese in Korea, he
says, have consistently sought to make
capital out of the periodical revolu-
tions in Korea so that pre-
text might be found for the inter-
vention of the Japanese Government. He
asserts that the Japanese have hungered
after Korea from time immemorial. The
adoption as their puppet of the King Of
Korea's father. who Is the most fanatical
hater of foreigners in the whole of Korea.
is sufficiently characteristic Of Japanese
sincerity.
Herr Brandt remarks that neither Rus
sia nor England Is likely to be in hurry
to interfere in the trouble, but it is his
opinion they must do so eventually.

Adoption Among Birds.

Modern scientific research un-
doubtedly tends to place the ethics
of bird life on higher and higher
level. Even the cuckoo, against
whom so much has been written, is
now acknowledged to have been ma
ligned when it was universally af-
firmed by ornithologists that it dis
plays in it's tenderest stage of deyel-
opment the odious faculty Of ejecting
it's lawful occupants from the stolen
nest in which it has been placed.
The Bishop of Newcastle has now
made himself responsible for touch
ing little anecdots. Not long ago,
says DIR. Wilberforce, there was a
Frenchman who had large family
and who was haunted by the idea
that when he died there would be no
one to look after his children. While
thinking of this one spring day he
noticed two nests in hedge close by
each other. Each contained half
fledged birds, whose parents were ~
ing dead. He went away sad, think
ing that the young birds must die.
What was his surprise, however, a
few days after, to see them quite
happy and apparently we'll fed. He
stood apart and watched, and pres
emily he saw the parent birds OF
other nests come to the young birds
and feed them. They had adopted
the little orphans, fact which the
Frenchman naturally took as a good
omen with regard to his own little
ones.-[L London News.
