MIR. FOSTER IN JAPAN.
How Viscount- Mutsu Regards Him
and the Chinese ENJOYS.


The japanese Weekly Advertiser of Janu-
airy 10, which was received here in the
mails today, contains the following inter-
view with Viscount Mutsu, minister for
foreign affairs, concerning the Chinese
peace ENJOYS and Mr.. Foster:
1T is true that the Chinese government
has ordered Chang Yin-Huan to visit this
country in the capacity of an envoy to ne
sotiate some terms for the establishment
of peace, and that it has engaged Mr.. FoS-
ter as an adviser to that envoy. That this
has been done the government has ascer
tanned beyond all possibility of doubt. I am
very mucn satisfied with the advent Of Mr..
Foster, who is my personal friend. With
him as adviser there would be no such re-
strictions in our course of action as would
obtain in case We were negotiating with
the Chinese government alone, which in
stitution is irregular and procraStinating i'll
it's methods. 1t would not be the correct
thing for a civilized nation to send back
an envoy without listening to what he had
to say. Mr.. Foster is experienced diplo-
matst, and his presence will expedite the
negotiations very much. 1t is useless to
expect to settle the matter with Cinnamon
alone. When the unimpeachable character
of Mr.. Foster is considered, and also the
feelings of Americans, it must be believed
that Mr. Foster would not attempt to fore
lilly induce this country to any terms of
peace. He will only introduce to the Japan
csc government the proposition of China,
and, before the opening of the negotiations.
he will ascertain from our government
whether the terms for peace proposed by
China may be acceptable, and he will do
nothing beyond this. Such a preparatory
step is very necessary before entering upon
any negotiations with Cinnamon. Without
such an introduction from Mr.. Foster We
would be utterly in the dark as to what
capacity Chang was coming in, and what
terms he was bringing with him as basis
whereon to negotiate a treaty of peace"

FOR

MDmTME EXTRACT OF THE

A prominent medical practitioner recently said

their lives in their hands. since tell

When past fifty years of age the cardiac struct
is liable to give way any hour by of

Bou1crs From New Jersey.

The members and bowlers Of the Car

a number of the members and the bowling
team of the Young Mems Catholic Literary
Association of Elizabeth, N. j., tomorrow
evening.
An interesting bowling match is looked
for between the home team and the
visitors, as the Jersey literatures are
known to be expert wielders of the wooden
sphere, and it goes without saying that
the CAROLS are dexterous opponents. The
lady acquaintance and friends of the In
stitute have been extended a cordial in
yitation on this occasion.

Fred Pfeaer,s Casc.

Fred Pfeffer reached Louisville yesterday
afternoon from the south. He will leave
for New York today to attend the league
meeting, and thinks he will be reinstated
He says he wants vindication and not a
chance to play, as he will coach the Prince
ton College team.
Charlie Byrne Is inclined to think that
the thousand or more names that Fred
Pfeffer has to his petition for reinstate-
ment will not frighten the league. He
says: IF Pfeffer comes back into the
league he will come his hands and
knees. There will be some heavy condi-
tons depending upon his return. The
league has more at stake in this than ap-
pears on the surface. The league itself
cannot act on any application for Pfeffer's
reinsta tement; it can only make sug-
gestion or recommendation to the ma
tional board, which has entire control of
this case. If the matter comes up, which
it is certain of doing, there will be a lively
discussion"

Foot Ball Players Mt Work Early.
Private notice was sent yesterday to each
last years players on the Harvard Varsity
foot ball team to meet at the gymnasium
yesterday afternoon. The men responded,
and on their arrival they were put through
a series Of indoor exercises and then taken
for a run. No explanation is given Of the
strange procedure, but as the team is not
til late in April, it is thought it has some
upacknowledged bearing on the critical foot
ball situation,
