New York.--Two distinguished Jap
I,nese took occasion to declare In M
Uncertain trims that there were no un
friendly issues between the United
States and Japan. and TO decry the un
line importance attributed by some e
trivial incidents.
The champions OF peace and friend
I,hip between the two countries wer,
admiral Baron Yamamoto, a guest o'
he city, and Viscount Aoki. japanese
ambassador. who came from Washing
ON TO attend the luncheon given by
I,he Japanese society of America In
honor OF Admiral Yamamoto.
| In the course OF formal statement
Ambassador Aoki said:
| There exists between the two gov
srnmcnts no difference or Ill feeling oi
shateyer sort There Is not the slight
.st cause for anxiety in the Americans
Japanese relations. and II there is any
lnxiety, II is not because OF the act
,ai existence OF any difficulty between
he two countries, but because OF the
,emagogic influence OF some unwar'
tanted press talk that often tends
10 drive even the calmest temper OF
The public into whirl OF tempestuous
,age,"
Al the luncheon at the Hotel Astor.
Admiral Yamamoto spoke In similar
Itrain. saying:
1T is now over fifty years since
America first opeded intercourse with
Iapan and introduced us 10 the nations
81 the West. we all know what We owe
10 the United States for the develop
men, OF our Industries and commerce.
and also for the education OF number
81 our countrymen. We especially ap-
precIate the sympathy shown us by the
Americans during the late war.
We have always been next door
neighbors with only an ocean between
rs, but with the acquisition OF the
Philippines by America, which is quite
close 10 our Formosa, our territories
became still nearer. thus facilitating
even more intimate intercourse.
"our interests. commercial and
otherwise. are so intimately inter
woven. and the cordial relations be-
tween Us for fifty years standing are
Of so firm 4 nature. that ! can conf
seutly affirm that they will never be
sestroyet by mere trihing Incidents.
1T is true that lately some dark
clouds did apear in one quarter OF the
Iky. but II is nothing but local sGuall
and does not in any way represent the
general state OF the weather. And
even this slight cloud will soon be dis
persed.
I'VE are all aware OF the high sense
ot justice and humanity possessed by
he Americans. the principles which
TORN the very foundations OF tile Re
public"
Rear Admiral Eyens, commander OF
the Atlantic fleet. said that when the
OF this country stopped
making war between Japan and the
United States the people would come
10 their senses and a better feeling
would exist all around.

Perhaps the largest and most va'ua
ole OF literary treasures the world has
lost was the Alexandrian library. This
collection, the most remarkable of the
ancient world. is said to have con
tanned in its most hourishins period

manuscripts. Its royal founder col
iected from all nations their choicest
composition. We are told that one Of
his successors went so far rs to re-
fuse TO supply the Athenians with
wheat until they had given him the
original manuscripts OF Aeschylus.
Sophocles and Eu1pides. When Julius
Caesar laid siege 20 the city the
greater portion OF this library was
destroyed by fire. II was later re
placed by the collection presented to
Queen Cleopatra by Marc Antony.
But ii was not destined 10 endure
long. When the Emperor Theodosius
