The Presidents Vacation.

WASHINGTON, July 27.-The Presi-
dental party will leave here to-
morrow for their vacation on the
shores OF Lake Champlain. The
Chief Executive desires to obtain, as
far as possible, complete rest from
official duties during his absence,
and for this reason it is probable
that but few appointments will be
made during that time. 1t is stated
at the White House that all papers
sent to the President to his summer
home will be mailed to Washington
without being opened.
New YORK, July N.-Vice-P resi-

No War with Japan.

Special Dispat h to the Chronicle
New York, July 27.-Dhe Herald's
Paris correspondent says: II war
should ultimately break out between
the United States and Japan it will
be in spite OF Marquis Ito personally
as well as politically. The former
Prime Minister of the Japanese EN-
pire is strong friend Of America.
His admiration for the United States
is not based on mere sentiment, for
he visited the country no less than
FIVE times. The Marquis denies that
he is here to protest against Hawai-
ian annexation.
The Marquis said to-day to the
Herald correspondent: THE Japa-
nese are bound by sentiment and
sympathy to the Americans. From
the very beginning of modern Japan
it is America that has given her
every mark of friendliness, encour-
agement and support. There is not
single European country that has
manifested such strong feeling for
Japan as has the United States from
our very birth as a constitutional
country. The Emperor, l know, will
not support any bellicose policy.
All my friends in the Ministry or in
control of the different branches of
the Government are OF the same
mind as the Emperor upon this sub
ject, and the Japanese public senti-
ment is one Of strong friendship for
the United States. Thus the Ha.
waiian question cannot possibly
bring about conflict, either armed or
diplomatic, with the Americans"
