GIFT TO AN EMPEROR.
Lihesality Of the Japanese Diet To-
ward the Head Of the state.

One OF the first acts Of the Japanese
diet on assembling for the winter session
was 10 vote unanimously a present 10 the
emperor Of c.e0o.ase yen out 81 the Chi
nese indemnity. TIE reasons for this ar.
ton are so interesting and remarkable
that / cannot do better than give trans
.ation Of the resolution adopted by the
house upon the subject, says the London
Standard correspondent. 1t reads as fol
lows:
Whereas. During the wars of the 18th
and 18th years OF Neil. his imperial ma
testy, our lilustrious sovereign, this en-
pres great civil and military ruler ad-
vanced the imperial standard TO Horoshima
and in his imperial person directed the
affairs OF the war 80 that abroad the SOL
diers cf the country offered up their lives
for the public cause, and at home united
people. one and all animated by a war
Ike spirit offered up their resources for
the conduct OF belligerent operations. with
the result that peace was finally restored
to the East, and the glory Of the country
made to shine throughout the word: and
whereas we. his majesty's subjects. are
profoundly sensible that these issues
were mainly due To the imperial virtues,
We desire TO express the sincerity Of our
respectful gratitude by including in the
imperia. estates. as a memerlto OF the sig
mai successes achieved in the war; a sum
Of twenty million yen from the indemnity
obtained in consequence of the country's
victories
Besides the reason set out i'm the resolu-
ton II was urged in the papers favorable
TO the grant that. inasmuch as the civil
list had remained at three millions since
the reformation. the appropriation was
necessary In view of the enhanced price
OF commodities, and the large donations
constantly made by his majesty for chart.
fe.Ef De-
1t has been pointed out that the emperor
is not entirely dependent upon the appro
priation annually voted by the diet lie
is, In fact. described muiti-TnillionaIre
for, besides having large areas Of land
and some valuable mines, the imperial
household has many million yen worth of
shares in the Bank % Japan, the Specie
bank and the Japan Mail Steamship Com
pany.
1t Will he seen, therefore. that on the
ground OF insufiiciency of income there
was not justification for the appropria-
ton. and it is quite possible that his ma
~ voted 70 him for services rendered In
connection with the war three years ago
OF the total sum of 362 100 600 yen received
from China, 2ssoed 900 has been appropriate
ed by the diet. leaving only about Is 0,a =
$50. and very little OF this remains in cash
as the greater portion OF IL has been in

vote 9,t1A. GO worth of these bonds VIII
