CHANGES IN JAPAN
Yam gaia Will Supersede Ito in
Foreign Affairs.
A0KI WILL SUCCEED MUTSU
The Greater Portion of the Japanesi
Army VIII Return From China
This Month.

San Francisco, June 1.-The steamer
Belgic arrived today bringing the fol-
lowing advices:
Toxic, May 25.-The popular expecta
ton of ministerial changes in Japan
grows stronger every day. Although
nothing has yet happened to prove that
Count Ito contemplates immediate re-
tirement. his early disappearance from
the political stage is regarded as a GER
tainty, and the attention of the official
class is chiefly directed to questions
bearing on the succession. Reports are
received from Kioto that Count Yama-
gaia will be requested to form a cabi-
net and that the position now held by
Viscount Matsu will be rendered to Wis
count Aoki, the present envoy to Ger
many, or to Count Okuma. AS regards
the heads of other departments, no Gu
riosity is displayed Everyone feels
that the interests of the nation will for
some time mainly depend upon the
management of foreign affairs, and that
the selection of a competent minister
for this branch of the administration is
of first Importance.
The emperor's return to Toxic is ex-
pected before the end of May. The cab
met ministers now absent will accom-
pany him. Until they are back in the
capital, no decisive movement will be
made in any direction.
The greater part of the Japanese ar
my will return from China early in
June. Portions of the Second and
Fourth grand divisions will remain on
the Lao Tung peninsula for garrison
service, and a brigade of the Sixth di-
vision will occupy Liu Kung island in
Wei-Hai-Wei harbor These troops are
to retain the positions specified until
China shall fulfill the conditions of the
treaty

The first Bible which was read in Japan was lost by a British sailor. It fell into the hands of a prince, who being unable to read it, called the assistance of Dutch inter preter and was informed by him that if he would send to Shanghai he could obtain a volume printed in the Chinese language. The volume was obtained and diligently read for nearly eight years, when the prince was baptized in secret. In 1872 the first church was founded at Yokohama. The work has been steadily carried on until now there are four hundred Protestant churches in Japan, all of which are self-sussain- ing. Six schools for girls and three for boys have also been established, to- gether with a medical school and hos pital
