JAPAN NOT ANGRY.
MINISTER TAKAHIRA TALKS OF ADMIRAL
sEYMOUR's TRIP UP THE
YANGTSF- F-KTANC

Washington, Aug. THE japanese Minister.
Mr.. Takahira, said in the course of an Informal
talk to-day that he attached no Importance TO
the cabled reports from foreign capitals that
Japan had taken umbrage at Vice-Admiral Sew
mours trip up the Yangtse- Kiang and his visits
TO the Viceroy Of Nanl1ing It was quite we'll
understood. Mr.. Takahira pointed out that the
Yangtse- Kiang Valley IS the British sphere of
influence, and that British interests are exten
sive throughout that region. Moreover, Mr.
Takahira said that the Viceroy of Marking is
a man OF enlightened and progressive senti-
ments, who always has shown great considera-
ton for foreigners. so that his cordial reception
Of Admiral Seymour is natural Under these cir
cumstances, Mr. Takahira dismisses as nm
founded the foreign conjecture that the cordial
relations between Great Britain and Japan NAV
be strained by this incident. The Minister re-
CARDS the attitude OF Japan as so uniformly
harmonious with all the Powers interested in
the present conflict that there is not likely TO
be any marked change In the present inter
national relations.

AMERICA AGAINST PARTITION

Berlin. Aug. Tt is reported that the United
States Embassy in Berlin has informed the Ger
Foreign Office that the American Govern
ment desires, under all conditions. that the
Yangtse-Kiang be left open for American trade
and that Washington will also oppose all
schemes for the division of China, no matter
from what Power they may proceed. 1t is un-
derstood that this attitude is fully approved by
the German Government, since it comedies with
the wishes OF Germany. 1t is also learned that
Japan, on this same question has abandoned
England. and has already sought and found the
friendship OF Berlin.

remarked to-day. these reports or others
equally untrue and injurious will ne circulated

as military operations in China shall continue"
And he added: That Peking relief expedition
is the first military expedition in behalf of
whose suce4 ass the efforts as well as the sympa-
thies and prayers of the whole civilized world
have ever been enlisted. I wish that some of
the writer's who trying to discredit and en-
barrass II could comprehend and appreciate that
fact"
The fact that General Chaffee's dispatch was
not given TO the public until the fourth day after
II was dated at Tien-Tsin aroused suspicion
that it had been actually received at the War
Department several days ago. and was Identical
with the one upon which much ingenuity and
labor have been expended by those who were
anxious to learn and publish what it contained.
In reply TO a question to-day General Corbin
said that the dispatch was not received until this
morning If it had been the dispatch received
on Saturday, however. It would have been clear
ly improper and most unwise to dfvulge It's con-
tents pending the movement which il foretold
and described.

China are peculiarly susceptible, and there is

In this letter Emma Quazzi says that she met a
nice young man on the steamer on the way TO

She speaks of the fact that Bresci had worked in
Paterson, and thought it strange that she had

eight days in close companionship with Bresci at
the date of writing.
