The japanese government has de-
cided to recognize Christianity as one
of the religious organizations Of the
country, and to give Christian minis
tiers the same rights as are granted to
Buddhist and Shinto priests. A new
law, however, puts the affairs Of all
sects, including the building Of
churches, the holding of meetings, the
settlement of preachers and methods
of maintenance, under the control OF
local governors. Some solicitude is
occasioned by the large powers Of these
governors, who will be able, If SO dis
posed, to hinder missionary operations.

a greater gathering than last night
when the Chicago day banquet was

great stage upon which 1000 people
can easily find standing room, had
been enlarged and a great floor built
out over the seats of the parquet.
q%uadrupling the floor space Of the
stage. 1t is difficult to decorate the
auditorium on account of the beauty
of it's own decorations, but last night
it was changed by the hands of the
decorators into q spectacle that for
once surpassed itself. The president,
who was the guest of honor, sat at a
raised table on the right Of Melville

set for 6 o'clock but the streets were
so dersely. packed by the great >throng
that had come down to witness the
laying of, the corner stone Of the new
federal building and the afternoon pa
rade and remained in good part to see
the parade of, the evening that it was
with difficulty that one would make
his way along the streets, and as a
consequence 1t was nearly an hour
later than that originally set when the
banquet was in full blast. The mater
ial part Of the banquet occupied two
hours, and it was nearly 10 o'clock
when Mr.. Stone raped for order and
brought the intellectual portion Of the
programme to the frontSin q fitting ad-
dress. Gov. Tanner then in q short
address welcomed the visitors on be-
half Of the state. After he had con-
cluded Mayor Harrison Of Chicago and
