JAPANESE EMPEROR SPEAKS.
lie Copgrntuintcs His People. Hut
(ouusels Moderation.

LONDON. April 22.-The Central News's
correspondent in Toxic telegraphs a sum-
mary Of an imperial proclamation issued
to-day TO tne japanese people. The En-
peror says he is Convinced that the peace
concluded At Shmonoseki viii promote
the national prosperity, which has ever
been his highest aim. The glorious re-
guilt OF the war had been achieved by
the harmonious efforts of the whole ma
ton The ministers, the army, the navy.
and the peoples representatives In the
Diet had done everything in their power
10 make Japan strong and ready TO
realize the empires aspirations. They had
omitted nothing in perfecting the plans
of national defence.
The soldiers and sailors Of the empire
had won everlasting glory by their BE-
havior abroad. They had advanced and
fought, unmindful OF winters bitter cold
or summers blazing heat and they had
triumphed everywhere They had earned
a worldwide reputation for discipline and
humanity. No praise was TOO high for
their loyalty and vslor and she glory
both had added 20 the empire.
At the same time much remained TO
be done In the march toward higher civili-
cation. Ii was TO be hoped that the loyal
subjects Of the empire would realize this.
ana would guard against the dangers OF
vanity and conceit. They should cultivate
spirit OF modesty and humility. and
strive to perfect their military defences,
although without going 10 the extremes
OF national armament They should pro-
mote education. and seek 10 know the
refinements-but not the effemnacy-of
life.
The Emperor rebukes sharply those
who In the intoxication OF victory, seem
, inclined TO insul; friendly powers and
complicate the empires foreign relations.
/ Now that the breaches OF faith had been
repaired, the exchange OF treaty ratifica-
tons should inaugurate a period OF for
giyeness and friendship. Every endeavor
should be made to live In peace and good
will with the nations Of the earth.
The Emperor closes the proclamation
with the statement that strict obedience
TO his wishes as indicated In this docu-
inent, will he exacted from all his sub
.ects.
