(NeW York WOrld)
The Augustus Van Wyck presidential
boom Of southern origin, fostered in Sara
toga. and then brought to New York,
was let loose in a room in the Hoffman
House last night, in the presence OF d
southern delegation, by J. J. Willett, con
gresham from Alabama. Who COM
posed the delegation was kept a secret
by Mr. Willett.
He said: This boom for Van Wyck
IS given permanence by the assurance
given 20 me by the leaders OF the Brook
Ign Democrats. i had a talk with them
IN Brooklyn last night. and they said to
me: we are with you. We are for Az
gustus Van Wyck first. last and all tn"
time Nothing under Heaven can pre-
vent US from securing solid delegation
10 the next national convention for Van
WICK. We will cut loose from Tam
many Hall II it opposes us and fern q
combination with the upstate Democ-
racy, and we cannot be beaten.

county Democrats are deceiving me, so

Democrats. and on Monday l will issue
n statement showing just what has been
accomplished

"Now. I know Tammany and Croker
do not amount TO anything outside OF this
city. They have never accomplished any
thing In national politics. This movement
snrings from men In various portions or
me country who believe that ex-Judse
Van Wyck is the man to save the Demo-
cratic party. The Democratic leaders IN
Rrooklvn concur in this view, and they
ere the malnstay Of the movement in this
State"
When asked II the suggestion that Mr..
Rrvan and Mr.. Croker had agreed 10 give
Mr. Van Wyck second place on the ticket
would be agreeable TO him, he replied,
IT would never think OF offering him
that. and l don't believe he would be
satisfied with that. No, he Is the man for
President. and 1 found that TO be the

THE NEW ORDER IN JAPAN.
Foreign Residents Now Subject to
Laws of the Empire.

WASHINGTON, August i9.--Over one
thousand citizens of the United States,
two thousand Englishmen, and about one
thousand German and French citizens
will be directly affected by the new order
Of things IN Japan by which extra-terri-
toriality disappears and foreign residents
are made subject to the laws and busi-
ness regulations Of that empire. Fully
5000 of the 10000 foreigners now residing
in, Japan will be thus affected by this
feature OF the fifteen new treaties which
have abandoned consular courts and ex-
tra-territOriality and made the citizens OF
the fifteen countries In question subject
TO the laws Of Japan when residing in
that country. The total number OF for
eigners residing I'm Japan was. on January
1, 1898, 1881, as against 9,23S In 1881, and
S,2i6 In 1886. OF this number in 1898. 5,2o6,
or nearly one half, were Chinese; 2llS
English, LOS American, 523 Germans, 49l
French, 2T Russians, i55 Koreans, 10s
Portuguese, l0l Dutch, and the remainder
divided among other countries In NUM-
bers less than 100 each.
OF the 1851 foreigners residing in Japan
In 1898, 9,53S were classed as merchants
and other professions" while OF the 1913
from the United States e79 were classed
as merchants and other professions. OF
the 2,1lS British subjects, 1854 were thus
classed, and OF the 523 Germans, 453 were
so classified.
The number OF foreigners residing In
Japan is only about one-sixth as great
as the number OF japanese residing In
foreign countries. The japanese census
OF December 81, 1SI-the japanese take
census each year-showed 6S,73 japanese
residing In other countries. OF this num-
Der 1910 were In the United States and
1884 In Hawaii. so that 90 per cent or
the Japanese now residing abroad are
subject 10 the jurisdiction Of the United
States. or the remaining 23.79l japanese
residing abroad, 1865 were In Corea 5,oss
