Press Talk the Chief Danger.

In the course of a formal statement
Ambassador Aolxi said: There exists
between the two governments no diff
ference or ill-feeling Of whatever sort.
There is not the slightest cause for
anxiety in the Americana japanese re-
latiOns; and if there is any anxiety it
is not because of the actual existence
Of any difficulty between the two
countries. but because Of the dema-
gogic influence of some unwarranted
press talk, that often tends to drive
even the calmest temper OF the pub
lie into whirl OF tempestuous rage"
Confirmed by Yamamoto.
Speaking at the luncheon at the Ho-
tel Astor Admiral Yamamotl said
among other things: Our interests
commercial and otherwise. are SO in
timately interviewer, and the cordial
relations between us Of fifty years
standing are Of so firm a nature. that
1 can confidently affirm that they will
never be destroyed by mere trifing i'll
cidents. Men are essentially prone to
be controlled by sentiments, and it is
the duty Of those in leading positions
to see that they are always guided In
the path OF righteousness, and that
they are not led astray."
