the following statement in response to
requests for interviews with the AM
bassador Viscount Chinda.
The Japanese embassy does not
consider it opportnne to announce its

long cherished sentiments OF mutuat
regard and good neighborliness which
have at all times so conspicuously
marked relations between the two
countries. and which are 80 dearly
held by people on both sides of the
Pacific. j feels confident that the hope
is fully shared By all Americans who
have at heart the advancement and
consolidation of international friend

TROUBLE AT NORTH TAZE-

The Washington correspondent of
The Virginian in a letter printed in our
issue of April 9Th. quoted Messrs. Sex
ton. Doak and Werth as opposing the
appointment of j. w. Whitney as post
master at North Tazewell, chiefly on
the ground that he was formerly post
master at that place and was inn
peached.
Both of these statements, though
not SO intended. did Mr.. Whitney in
Justice He was never postmaster at
North Tazeweil and he was never inn
ppached. There was some trouble in
connection with this postoffice some
years age, but Mr.. Whitney was in no
v-,.y associated with the office or with
the trouble there.
The Virginian regrets the error into
which it's Washington correspondent
was innocently led and takes pleasure
in making this correction as matter
Of justice to Mr.. Whitney.
