CHRYsANTHEMUMs IN JAPAN.
Magnificent Display at ihe Flower in
YokOinama and Other T0Nsns.

The first really fire chrysanthemums l saw
were in Yokohama, when I got back there
early in November; 1 was disappointed to find
that they were in temporary sheds put up to
protect them from rain and sun, and not in
masses out OF doors, as / expected to see
them; but they were excetlently grown, and in
the softened light of the oil-pape shades their
colors showed to great advantage. The plants
are treated much as they are with US, raised
in pots from cuttings taken in the spring, and
encouraged with plenty of manure until the
buds are formed; before Towering they are
removed from their pots and planted out in
bold groups of color in the beds which have
been prepared for them. Some plants are re-
duced to a single stem, on which only one
enormous blossom is allowed to develop; these
are generally arranged in a line, with each
flower stifiy tied to a horizontal bamboo sup
port, and the effect is very sad; but the ex-
cellence of the gardeners is best shown in
growing large bushes, which have been known
to carry as many as four hundred flowers of
medium size, all in perfect condition, on the
same day. An English gardener who had visit
ed every show within reach of Tokyo, inciud-
ing the E1nperor's celebrated collection in
the palace grounds, told me that he had seen
no individual blossoms equal to the best dozen
or so at a frst-rate London exhibition, but
that these great plants with their hundreds
of flowers were triurhpls e iioi ticulture. The
most curious examples o. chlysantlletnunl-
growing were to lie seen in the Dangozaka
quarter of Tokyo. The long billy street is bor-
dered on each side with gardens enclosed with
high bamboo fences, and in every one, by pay
ing three rim, you could see groups of life

mum leaves and flowers. They represented
scenes from history, the drama, or Buddhist
mythology, and were constructed with frame
works of bamboo, inside which the flower
pots were concealed, the shoots being brought
through the openings and trained over the outer
surface. The heads and hands were made of
painted wood, and swords and other accessories
we're added to make them more ljfelike; the
draperies of living leaves and flowers were
~slilfully arranged in large folds. and, as in
most of the popular shows, they depicted the
costumes of Daimio and Sarnurai Of the past
Harper's Magazine for April.

Buchanan's Talk Before Ia
EsOrtnightty.

The Mems F~ortnightly Clu met in
the gymnasium of st. Johns Free
Church last night. There were thirty
members present. The Fortnightly is
now nearly a year old, and the interest
in the meetings continues as great as
when they were a novelty. The speaker
last night was j. r. Buchanan, editor
of labor news for the United Press. Mr..
Buchanan is a man of fine presence
n is an excellent speaker. 1t was
evident from his n in talking that
his whole heart was in his subject. His
remarks were at all times fcrcible and in
some instances, intensely dramatic. He
grew much excited when describing the
wrongs of the working men and was bit
terly sarcastic when handling as he did
in an able manner the capitalists who
cause the oppression. He is in favor OF
labor unions.
.sThey help the working classes" he
said, land maintain the tanda OF
wages He did not like strikes. but
thought they had a good effect at times.
To unite all labor, he thought, WOULD
be as impossible a feat as to combine
all the clouds into a bale of cotton. His
address over. the members OF the club
pitched into him and attempted 20 knock
his arguments out. He defended his sioe
nobly and few of the points he made
were in any way affected by the criti-
ciSm they received.

ABOUT THETREATY

WASHINGTON, April Is, 1S95.-The
Japanese Legation was officially noti-
fed this morning from the Foreisn
Office at Toxic that a treaty OF peace
between Japan and China was signed
at Shimonosoki yesterday. This shows
that the reports that the treaty was
signed ON Tuesday last was premature.
The official despatch received at the
Legation contains the further
ment tina the qualifications of the treaty
will be exchanged at Chi-Foo within
three weeks from yesterday.
1t the Japanese Legation here the
utmost reticence is observed with respect
to the exact terms OF the treaty, which
been autographed to Minister ku-
rino. The Minister says h information
was sent to him confidentially and that
it would be a breach of trust to discuss
the matter until the treaty has been
formally agreed to.
There is no doubt. however, that the
indemnity will be much smaller than
the original sum of 800, 600, 900 taels
demanded. This amount would be equal
to $3.50, 900, 600 in silver dollars. Whether
the indemnity will be actually paid in
gold or silver is a question which the
LeSdIlon oHlcldlS OScLlS " uAsSuSSs uHu
upon which the State Department is still
without official advices.
All the reports that Japan is to occu-
any port of Chinese territory, out
side of Formosa and Port Arthur, are
pronounced untrue.
A cablegram received in Washington
this morning from Hon. John w. Eos
ter, adviser of the Chinese Peace Plen-
ipotentiaries. announced that he will ac-
company Lii Hung Chang to Pekin. The
Chinese Viceroy and his party will ar
rive at Pekin about May l, between
which time and the expiration of the ex-
tended armistice on May s, there will be
a week for the Chinese authorities to
exchange notifications of the treaty. 1t
is not doubted that the treaty will be
ratified and promptly proclaimed.
