Jspan I In a state of political ferment eyer the subject of treaty revision. Last May United fttates Minister Hubbard left Japan aa en of the meat popular repreeantatlvM that, the United SUtes hart ever" sent te the Mikade's court. His departure was at tended with an oration, auch aa none of his predecessors had received; 'The; cauae of his popularity, aside from hi, courtesy and efficiency as a diplomat, had been hi magnanimous efforts te rellere Japan from the unfavorable, and. apparent unjust position In which she is by virtue jef the treaties which have been Imposed upon her by a combination of several of Jjie re publics of America and all the 'principal powers of Europe. By the terms of these treaties Japan can net charge ever five per cent, duty en Imports, nor arrest aud try in her own courts a ldrslgn offender against Japanese law : all that can be done 1 te hand ever the offender te the consular court of the country of which he Is citizen. Japan is thus virtually tn the position of a half-clvilited country before the nations of the world. This she was, perhaps, when the treaties were made fourteen years age. But she has made astounding forward strides since, and that her present treaty relations are unfair has been very widely conceded. Te relieve the nation from this humiliating position Minister Hubbard, representing the magnanimous spirit et his government, labored hard and cour ageously. There was no difficulty en the aide of the Japanese government, for the nation realizing the humiliation of her relations te tbe great powers of the world, earnestly desired, and clamored for a change. Hew te get all the powers be longing te the treaty combination te agree te a revision of the treaties was the knotty problem. At last, when no alternative was left, Minister Hubbard, representing the United States broke with the com pact of the treaty powers, entered into sep arate negotiations en behalf of the Unltad States alone, and In connection with the Japanese government framed anew treaty. The new treaty provided that Japan she'uld be free In the levying of import duties, that tbe country should be thrown open te Americans te travel and trade without re striction, and that American offenders against Japanese law should be tried in Japanese courts, and the proviso, however, that a certain number of foreign Judges should sit in the Japanese, courts, and have part especially In the trial of foreigners. The compact was signed by the emperer, and all that waa needed te complete the treaty was the ratification of the United States Senate. The treaty was hailed with Jey and was the occasion, as I have sold, of a "most enthusiastic demonstration toward, Minister Hubbard when he left the coun try te make way for his successor in office. Russia, Germany, France and Italy seen followed tbe lead of the United States. But,' surprising te suy, no sooner, was the revision or t he treaties a realized fact, tiwaltlng only the final ratification of the various governments, than a tremendous popular opposition began te arise against the program of revision. It li tbe first time in the history of this ancient empire that the voice of the people has been dis tinctly heard. It Is an agitated, excited voice. Frem the extrein e south te the ex treme north it has swept like a mighty wave, and there are no signs of abatement yet. The minister of foreign affairs who has been carrying forward the treaty nego tiations was confronted Heme weeks age by a man who with deliberate aim hurled a dynamite bomb at blm. By a happy acci deut only the minister's knee was struck making the amputation of the leg necessary. But the weuld-be-aisassln as seen as be had done the deed deliberately drew a word, se voted hlsjugular vein, aud was burled with great honor at one who had Immolated himself en the altar of patriotism. On bis person were found letters which showed that he had resolved te dle in his act. The fear of death is no deferrentTe a Japanese of La mural blend, when determlued upon some daring act for what he belleves te be bis country's welfare. The presents United States minister, Mr. Swift, Instead or being lauded, as tbe representative, or the United States, has been stoned. The whole Impe rial cabinet, with one exception," resigned a few weeks age, and tbe ll me when tbe treaties are te go into effect has been in definitely postponed. Many doubt whether they will ever go Inte effect in their pre neat shape. The two main reasons for this opposition te tbe new treaties are (list, the objection te foreign Judges, it being claimed that the employment of forelgn Judges is only another form of the present exterriteriality system; secondly, tbe fear or the Influence of foreign capital, If the country Is wholly thrown epen te the trade of foreigners. Japan Is Jiet wealthy, and when she leeks across and sees India under the British lien's paw, and thinks or greedy Russia already extending te the Pacific and ready, te awoep down and take the little Island Empire, she perhaps has reason te fear the free Influence of foreigners, and the In fluence which capital has upon the politi cal relations of nations. Te these two reasons has been added agitation. Tbe politicians of Japan are emphatically agita tors, and they find many among their hearers who are ready te be agitated. Connected with this opposition te treaty revision Is a strong reaction against for eigners and foreign Influences. There has come te be a feeling of antipathy toward foreigners which show Itself frequently In discourtesy and alight. But It Is all a swing of the pendulum te the ether ex ex ex trome. During the ten years precedlugthe present state of feeling the desire for foreign fereign foreign ers.feroJgn political and Industrial systems, foreign manners and ferelgu dress amounted almekt te a craze. New there is a reaction, though there Is little ground for belief that It will last long. Soen the pen dulum will swing back again, though net as far as before ; that Is after the present reaction, tbe Japanese will come te a mere cerreal cad discriminating (udgment con cerning things and persons foreign. Fattier Damlens, of whesetraglcdcath as a leper for lepers en eue of the inland or the Pacific, the world heard during the past year, 1 net the only man or his kind. A few years age Father Testevlnde, a French Catholic priest, established a small leper hospital under the shadow of Ml, Fuji. Here he gathered around him a number or wretched victims or the terrible disease, and has been attending te their bodily and spiritual welfare slnee. The number or lepers in Jupau Is considerable, and far greater hospital accommodations are needed than this lone priest can furnish. fSt self-sacriflcing spirits Jllke Father jDfejicns or Father Testevlnde are net se yeaiMJy leund. Japan has net been without her share of ttue remarkable Heeds of the past year. .Bridges, hmiaes, even whole Ullages have been swept away, and tbe number of these that were drowned reaches several theus- 117.

Already the political pet la beginning te simmer in thie oeeMoa, and the merlte of Edwin KY Martin and hhVeUIms for recog nition are being discussed both pre and con.

The firm will be Barr, Brethers. Mr. Barr has for several years carried en the buslneea of carpen tering and contracting, besides operating a large steam saw mill, and in hie several businesses has been quite successful. His many friends in this neighborhood will wish him success in his new pursuit. The grippe Is very common, in this neighborhood, and the rural doctors are riding day.and night trying te loosen Its held. Mrs. Carrie L.

Fer several years he has distributed the Philadelphia morning papers te the number of abent forty, and is the agent for the dally Intezxieicncbr te which he has a long list of subscribers, and en all the leading periodicals and magazines he has a, surprising trade. When the Puck and Judge appeared in their Christmas suit of clothes he sold almost fifty coples of them in the village, te the boys of tbe neighborhood he fur fur nlshes the wild western and among the bleed thirsty finds sale for sensational papers. On sporting events he is thoroughly posted, and sticks te tbe Chicago League base ball club through thick and thin, defending Ansen always., On politics he Is as well posted and when ibe Democracy suffers defeat he invariably1 gets the grippe. In school he is one of the brlghest scholars, and in a recent debate boldly advocated the extension of the Quarryvllle railroad for tbe prosperity of Quarryville. In tbe absence of bis father he assumes proprietorship of the hotel and leeks after the comforts of Us guests. He keeps bis own private bank account and his balance can never be written with leu than five figures, and in all the country round there Is no mere modest and manly a boy.

California. He Is a thoroughly frightened man, and fears the consequences of his offers te supply princes and dukes with wives. He explains the matter by saying It was all a Jeke. He says he Is a society man aud that the scbeme was concocted by six prominent ladies of San Fran Fran ciseo and himself, who at the tlme of the talk about tbe marriage of Miss Huntington and Prince HaUfeTdt thought II would be a-reat fun te catch titled nauners I of Europe with attractive advertisements, and perhaps give thorn te seme newspaper for publication. The plan succeeded admirably. Mayer has In his possession three letters from prlncesand sixteen from dukes. Barens and marquises wero Innumerable, and se were physicians and army offi cers. There were only three photo graphs, one from a marquis, another from u physician, well known In Berlin, The third photograph was that or a youth ful and bright-looking man, "He's a firlnce." Mr. Mayer said, and translating rem the German letter it waa learned thai his highness would be satisfied with some American woman with $250,000. He would Uke less, however, If she was pretty. " Hew many letters have you getT " was asked. Mr. Mayer smiled, and opening the pack pack age showed eighty or ninety envelopes, all addrossed In different handwritings te "The International Bureau for Private Transactions."

He said he hed high connections lu Germany, and exposure or his scheme would iret his family Inte no end of trouble. He owns a small ranch near San Jese, and makes most of his Income by lendlnir small amounts ou chattel mortgages. Tite Deadly a as llurner. Philadelphia, Jan. 10. Geergo A.
