weed. He is politicu, follower of Count
Itagaki. and with the latter and Count
Mutsu brought about IN alliance between
the Liberal and Government parties that
resulted in Itagaki becoming minister of
the interior. Count Itagaki's influence
later on led to Mr.. Turi being sent to Wash
ington as the successor of Minister Kurino
who goes to Italy :.
Minister Turi is only forty-five years
OF age, but has had a stormy political ca
reer in his native land. He was educated as a
barrister in London and became a member
of the Middle Temple. He practiced law
in Japan, and after entering politics was
thrown into prison twice on account of
rancorous political contests.
He refused to talk of his arrest in oonnec-
tion with yiscount Toni and Dr. Boissonade
for the alleged unlawful publication of the
Count Inouye memorial. saying that the
abuse he was subj jcCted to was political war
fare and that his election as president of
the lower house of Parliament was his vin-
dication.
JAPAN'S TRADE RELATIONS.
In brief conversation regarding trade
relations and naval construction, Mr.. Turi
said:

Staets are not W hat would like to see. The

the English and the Germans are in keener
search for our trade than the Americans.
They pa y close attention to our wants and
study our dema nds SO minutely as to manu-
facture things that exactly please our
fancy and suit our tastes. The Americans
are not doing that. We are just now build
ing a good many lines of railroad, and in
q few years we will! have a network of
them. The English are supplying most of
tue material. but there is a good opEor-
tunity for Americans to supply some of the
material.

but their only duty is to protect two lines of

army of only 6O,o1O men.

the recent regulation of the Cummiss. oners
concerning the stopping of railway trains.
The Commissioners adopted Il regulation
requiring all trains to stop at least forty
feet Eeiore crossing city streets traversed
by cable or electric cars. The railway com
