After many and fru,tIe-s efforts on
the part of European states and OF
this country to negotiate a treaty
with Japan, our government dis
patched Commodore Matthew Gail
breath Perry with a considerable
fleet of ships to the East, and gave
him rather extended powers with re-
spect to the negotiation of a treaty
with Japan. Commodore Perry had
a treaty drafted and translated, and
going to Kanagawa, the port of To-
kyo, now a suburb of Yokohama,
held a consultation with the Feudal
authorities, and explained to them
that our object was simply for trade
intercourse, for mutual benefit, hat
we had products which we wished
to sell them and that we desireh
some of their teas and silks in eX-
change. He asked them to consider
the subject while he should go down
the coast of China on a mission
which would occupy him for some
weeks. On his return he hoped they
would be prepared to sign the treaty.
Commodore Perry went away on his
mission and returned to kanagaWa
in due course of time, only to be in
formed by the Shogun's representa-
tives that that was 'the Emperor'e
country" that they, the military
government, were his servants, that
he refused to give them permission
to sign the treaty. They were at
their old game of playing off the
Emperor. Parleying and persuad-
ing awaited not. The Emperor was
in his ancient capital three hundred
miles away. No possibility of an
audience. His patience finally eX-
hausted, Perry went abroad his flag
ship and signalled his feet to clear
for action, announcing to the Japa.
nese that he would give them sc
many minutes in which to attach
signatures to the document. They
had already seen enough of European
and American men Of war. Before
the time limit expired the treaty
was signed. It provided for the set
ting apart small sections in five port
towns where Americans might re
side and engage in business. The
, demands of European governments
: for like recognition speedily follow
ed. Thus Japan was opened to for.
eign intercourse, and was brought tt
start on an era of grogress.
For some years previous to thi:
time there had been growing up ir
) the country an I~mperialist, or EN-
peror's party, in opposition to the
Feudal regime. The Shotgun had
usurped most of the imperial prero.
gatives. This signing of a treaty
permitting the "hairy foreign dev.
lis" to enter and defIe the sacred
soil of Japan was the last straw need
ed to break the cancels back. Al
once the Imperial party, in imita
ton of Hidoyoohi's example, raised
!, the cry, "Japan for the japanese
Drive out the foreigner. Crush the

been no wars. Luxury and dissipa-
ton had wrought nightly among
the soldier class. The peasanty rail-
lied to the Imperial standards. They
had grudges not a few against the
soldiers that had accumulated dur
ing generations of oppression. The
Imperial forces soon beat the ShO-
guns armies to their knees, and
made that naughty successor Of Hi
deyoshi sue for pace on any terms
His Majesty might please to accord
him.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
ostensible purpose ofthe Imperialists
had been to drive out the foreigner
and nullify the treaty made with
him by the Shotgun, no sooner had
the Imperial forces triumphed than
their leaders turned to the foreigners
European and American) and said,
in effect, "Gentlemen, we are glad
to see YOU here. We will take pleas
ure in ratifying the treaty already
made" And IN this as i'll a thous-
and other ways, has the shreWd
craftsmanship Of the Japanese been
| illustrated. The young Imperialist
leaders, among them the present
Marquis Ito, than whom no states
man that ever lived has done more
for his people and county, saw their
I~inferiority and Jgpan's impotence,
and they resolved in submitting to
the inevitable foreign intercourse as
provided in the treaty, not to per-
NIT their country to become the
prey of other nations, but to appro-
| pirate to their own use and advant-
age those very forces before which
then they stood in awe. How we'll
they have succeeded is written in
the history of their progress made in
the arts and sciences in the last
thirty-fve years, a record absolutely
UNPARALLELED in the life of any other
people.
At the conclusion of the revolu-
ton which made him a de facto
ruler, the present Emperor, then but
| Is years years old, with the Empress
| by his side, seated in an open car
rage, freely gazed upon by the null
titude, was driven into Tokyo, the
hitherto military capital, which he
has since made the one capital of his
empire. Every thing available that
is supposed to be beneficial to Japan
has been freely adopted. Without
the shedding of one drop of blood the
government has heen changed from
an absolute monarchy to a represen-
tative form, and a constitution guar
anteeing religious liberty and many
and precious political rights was
promulgated just fifteen years ago.
