THE JAPANESE MINISTER.
An interesting Addition to the Diplomatic
Circle In WnshlnKton.

Probably the most interesting Of the re.
cent additions to tho diplomatic corps in
Washington Is Mr.. Hoshi Toru, the new
minister from japan. He Ia quartered,
with his family, mt the Japanese legation
ON street, conventional rcd brick
dwelling. which closely resembles, both in
side and out, the residence of an American
In this respect 1t follows the example OF
tho Chinese and Korean legations, which
might either Of them be the homo of
Americans, so little characteristic are thoy
of the nations which they represent. To
the curiosity seeking American it seems
unfortunate that the oriental legations in
Washington should In thoir interior, follow
SO closely western ideas. A typical Jnpa-
neso or Chinese interior would be a most
agreeable innovation.
Tho minister is short, stout gentleman
OF about 40, with the dark complexion
common to his race. Hoshi is in reality
his surname, as IL japan 1t is customary

dew yet glistens upon the morning glorieS

closes the kitchen door against the re-

pounding on many gates She knows that
this is caused by part of the machinery
