WIS John W. Foster who had succeed
ed James G. Blaine as SecretPry of
State Mr.. Foster went to Snimon-
oski and conducted his negotiations to
tSe salts faction of the Chinese govern
ment. In the case of Japan the United
States was actually the godfather of
the now nation.
Japan had been a closed nation from
1898, when the Portuguese had been
expelled, until 1854, when Commodore
NJ. G. Perry, brother of the victor on
Lake Erie, opened the country to for
eign trade. The japanese government
did not permit any foreign vessel to
touch at Japanese port under any pre-
tense. In 1919 the United States had
its first trouble with the japanese gov
ernment. Commodore Gisinger, learn
ing that some American sailors were
imprisoned at Nagasaki, sent Commo-
dore Glynn to demand their liberation.
He succeeded in doing so, and the re
port he then made OF the resources of
the island was partly responsible for
the determination of Daniel Webster,
then Secretary of State, to open the
islands to American trade.
The acquisition of a Pacific coast line
by the United States suggested to
Willard Fillmore and Daniel Webster
that the United States should be the
chief trading power in the East, and
that the commerce of Japan would be
profitable. Commodore Perry was,
therefore, given a letter to the Mikado,
signed by the President and written by
Daniel Webster, soliciting treaty OF
friendship and commerce between the
two nations by which the Mikado's
ports should be thrown open to Ameri-
can vessels for purpose of trale.
Commodore Perry sailed in Novem-
Der, 1852, with feet, and he carried
with him many useful implements and
inventions as presents to the japanese
government, including small railway
ana equipments, and a telegraph line
things which were unknown to the Jap
anese. Commodore Perry's instructions,
which he received from Webster before
the Secretary's death, were to approach
the Emperor Of Japan in the most
friendly manner. and to use no violence
unless attacked, but If attacked to let
the japanese feel the full weight of his
power.

New York-The weekly statements of
the large railroad companies of the coun-
try give little indication Of any halt in the
movement Of trade. Notwithstanding the
fact that at this time last year the traffic
was extraordinarily large, the roads all
continue to make new records and report
substantial gains in earnings. AS the
grain shipments during the month have
been much lighter than they We're in
June, 1899, it follows that the increase in
bus. ness is the result Of larger move
ment of general merchandise, and that
aRy reaction which may have taken pace
is one of prices rather than Of actual bus
mess. Stock market conditions have again
favored the bears. Taking the list as a
whole, the net changes in prices have GOT
been pronounced. but the tone during the
greater part of the time has been scft,
and the sentiment pessi'uistic. The con-
sensus Of opinion in trading circles is that
the market is likely 20 remain dull until
well into the fall.
