NEWS FROM THE ORIENT.
The Plague Scare at Yokohama Has
Suhsided.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 29.-Corre-
spondence of the Associated Press from
Yokohama, dated December 18th, says
The plague scare has subsidized, only
a sporadic case being now and then
reported, while the vigilance of the au-
thorities is undiminished. The entire
empire through the unprecedented
cleaning up which has taken place, will
be gamer from the visitation OF the
scourge.
The feeling of the foreign community
against the verdictof the Japanese court
in the Kent case, reported by the last
mail, instead of being allayed, is grow
ing more intense every day. 1t is by
no means confined to the Anglo-S axons,
but is shared by foreigners of every
nationality. The favorable impression
created by the dignity and fairness OF
the Miller trial has been completely
obliterated and replaced by feeling
of insecurity such as has not been
known by foreigners since the stormy
days of the revolution. The decision has
practically abolished the right of self
defense when foreigners are attacked
by Japanese In the appeal now pend
ing a reversal of the judgment may be
confidently predicted, but the mischief
has been done by the destruction OF
confidence in the working of the new
treaties.
In the Japanese political field all is
apparently serene The Diet adjourns
from day to day, with brief routine
sessions and complete absence of ex-
citing issues. Those behind the scenes,
however, predict a speedy overturn OF
the Cabinet through the clamor of the
spoils politicians. who are demanding
the virtual destruction of the civil serv-
ice system and the political control OF
offices.
Financially, Japan has recently pass
ed through somewhat of a panic, Illus
trating in a curious way the far-reach-
ing influence of the war at the Anti
podes and also the inability of the ma
ton to adapt itself to the conditions OF
modern finance. The furry was oc-
casioned by the exodus of gold to the
amount of some eight millions of yen
