WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, May 4, 1807.
There hasn't been a determined light
made in the senate against any appoin
ment yet made by Mr. McKiniey, but if
ho persists in trying to make J. \V.
Lyons, the negro member of the Repub
lican national committee from Georgia,
postmaster at Augusta. La., there will
bo a fight and a very bitter one, too.
The entire Georgia congressional dele
gation made a respectful protest against
appointing this negro postmaster in
Augusta, taking the ground that there
were plently of places paying just us
well that could be given him, where the
performance of his oflicial duties would
not necessitate constant irritation of the
entiro business interests of a city and
the greater part of its population—prob
ably mine-tenths of its mail-receiving
population. Postmaster General Gary
lias given the Georgia delegation to un
derstand that he was opposed to making
this negro postmaster at Augusta, but
it seems that the negro, who was a Mc-
Kiniey whooper-up previous to the St.
Louis convention, had Ross Raima's
positive promise of the postoflice, if Mc-
Kiniey was nominated and elected,
and that he has refused all of
fers of other places, although some of
them carry more salary, and insisted
upon being nominated postmaster at
Augusta. The Georgia senators believe
they can defeat his nomination in the
senate, and it is certain that they will
fight it to the last ditch, and hang it up
if they can't defeat it.
"Oh, its just the regular pendulum
swing." is the substance of what mem
bers of the administration say when
their attention is called to the large
amount of gold—more than §7,000,000 —
engaged last week in Now York for
shipment to Europe, "and it will all
come back again in the fall to pay for
our crops." They may be right, hut
those with good memories have not for
gotten that Secretary Carlisle and his
assistants talked the same way in 1804,
when nearly $103,000,000 in gold went
to Europe, and in 1805, when the value
exported almost reached $105,000,000.
and again in 1800, when it wont close to
$57,000,000, and they know that this
gold was only brought back by issuing
$201,000,000 in United States bonds. Mr.
McKiniey lias said that he would not
issue bonds, but ho has also said that
Mr. Cleveland did right in issuing them
when the continued demand for gold
caused the gold reserve in the United
States treasury to fall below the ar
bitrary limit set without any legal au
thority by John Sherman when he was
secretary of the treasury. Every body
hopes that this gold raid is not made by
the New York and London money
changers to force another issue of bonds,
but that doesn't keep people from won
dering what Mr. McKiniey would do.
should it turn out that way.
Mr. McKiniey lias fully made up his
mind to curtail sonic of the extensions
of the civil service rules made by Mr.
Cleveland, but ho lacks the nerve to do
so until public opinion has been worked
up a little on the subject. That is why j
members of his cabinet and other promi
nent officials are making public their I
opinions against those rules. <>f course
every body understands that the rules j
do not keep the present Democratic oc
cupants of the positions in oflicc, but so
long as they are in force they do operate
to keep those Republicans who are not
already in the government service out
of oflice. And that is the milk in the
cocoa 11 tit. Promises have been made
that have got to he kept, and the only |
way to keep the 111 is to withdraw the 1
civil service rules from some of these
: places. Had Mr. McKiniey been a man
' of backbone lie would simply have res
i rinded Mr. Cleveland's orders extend- j
ing the rules and said no more about it.
and that would have been a much more !
manly way than this beating the devil j
around the bush in order to make it ap- |
pear that the public demands their ub- ;
rogation, when every body knows that
'the public dosen't care a continental I
who fills the minor offices under the j
! government.
Democratic employes of the treasury j
department who are not so unsophisti- ;
rated as to expect to be protected by the i
J civil service commission are preparing j
| to "get it in the neck." A committee lias '
boon appointed to investigate ail the !
bureaus of the treasury department, ,
and to report a plan of reorganization
j that will enable the most efficient, em
ployes to get the largest salaries. That
I sounds all right doesn't it? Rut every
: wide awake Democrat knovs that the
plan reported will give the l ijrges:
1 salaries to the Republicans, and is pre- |
| paring to take his dose of reduction 1
j with as good grace as he can, if JIG isn't
in a position to show his disguost by i
; resigning when tlie reorganizaii in is j
made. ' S. j

j The long-expected death of Yoshihito.
: Haruuo-Aliya, the only son of Mursuhi
to, emperor of Japan, will, upon tlie
death of this monarch, call a younger
; branch of the imperial family to the
throne. The fate crown prince, born in
1879, was never a strong boy. a.id when
lung trouble was raided to a naturally
! weak constitution, it v.as oly a ques
tion of time when the end would come.
Of the descendants of former Tenno,
i:o family stood nearer to the throne
than that of Arisugawa, and owing to
ibis and the active part taken by the I
late Prince 'laruliito Arisugawa in the
civil war which resulted in the em- i
peror's assiirail ' l'ie reins of govern-
I incut* none of the. princes of the iilood I

There seemed to be a momentary

young Japanese seated in the room,

whistled through the apartment when,
after bowing low as with one impulse,
and keeping in that attitude for some
minutes, they raised their heads and
turned their eyes upon their books —

PRINCE ARISUQAWA AND IIIS SIGNATURE.
! although many a stolen glance was cast
j upon the youngster who, slightly in
clining his head, came forward to where
1 was standing.
Many of tilic young nobles upon first
entering the school had evinced sign** '•
of trepidation, and some of positive
fear when first they came lace to face
with a To-jin (foreign devil), hut this
little lad advanced with renmrkttbl.
eoanposuire, and 1 have 110 doubt would
have faced death with the same calm
j self-possession. One of the native ofli
! cers of the school advanced at the sarnie
j time,, and introduced the little man as
I Prince Arisugawa who had entered as
! a new pupil. The five other members'
of the procession also entered. One
was a son of the prince's majordomo,
a boy of about 17. The others were
adults, who constituted a bodyguard;
that they might not leave the prince
for a minute alone, they must needs
enter the same class and engage in the
same studies. Poor old Shimazu!
Faithful as a dog, but without the in
telligence of that animal, he had a hard
time trying to keep up with the quick
wilted youngster, who, notwithstand
ing his protector's strenuous efforts,
quickly distanced the members of h:<s
bodyguard. As the studies were taught
in. English, it was not long b; fore the
young prince could readily converse in ;
I that language, and never by word or sign
, did he demand recognition of his rank;
1 nor was there a single moment when
j his fellow-pupils forgot that he was
j miya (literally temple, used as title for
j imperial princes, as Tci hi-Sama, tie
j title by which the emperor is referred
j to, means Lord Heaven, to tl icon in these
I days neither more nor less than a god).
| Like all Japanese lie was small for
his age, nor did- he grow very much in
the four years in which he continued to
attend the school. 1 lei eg somewhat at a
j loss how to address him 1 liegan byeall-
I ing him Cldsai (little one), a title to
I which he answered readily and which
j was found mutually satisfactory. In
the classroom no exception w as made in
j Ids favor; he studied his le>: oris and re- !
j cited them like any other boy. If a
; question puzzled him he would shrug
i kia shoulders with a merry twinkle in
his eyes as much as to say: "Well, 1
j give it up!" In the playground, during
! recess he would look on surrounded by
his body guard, mot icing every tiding but
| showing no inclination to join in any
! game. I Ids as it appeared afterwards,
1 was because he did not wish-'tO'in-ter-
i fere in their sports. If he addressed any
, pupil in the play-ground the party od
j dressed would bow to the ground—the
; hands sliding down "the legs until they
j reached the feet—and remain in that |o
--| sition until the conversation was ended.
when he would resume the perpendieu
; lar with a deep-drawn breath.
| One would think that such abject hu
mility would have a bad effect on the
formation of the character. Hut there is
a powerful antidote in Japan in the ab
solute sway of the code of etiquette, to
which every noble from the cm|>eror
down are simple slaves. From that code
there is no escape; an infringement
would be considered worse than a crime.
And in that code he had been bred front
tlie very hour of his birth.and when.on
account of bis youth, he was at a loss.
Sliimnzn was at his elbow to give hint
his cue.
At last the school was absorbed in the
Tei-Koku Daigakko, or Imperial univer
sity, when Prince Arisugnwa entered
the Kaigun Gnkko, or naval school: and
soon afterward he went to England.
! where he was admitted to the naval
I academy tit Woolwich. Here he re
j mained until he obtained the rank of
j sublieutenant, when lie ret'itrned to
Japan and entered the navv as lieulen
■ "lit. At that time I was in China, lie
i married the daughter of the wealthy
t x-damio of Knga, and has two little
children, a son born in 1884. and a little
; daughter. In 1888. the prince with hi
i wife went on a trip around the world.
| and upon bis return a large number of
the old Kaga Samurai met them ai
Kobe. Again I missed seeing him. but
when the war cloud of 1804 called me to
| Tokyo. I notified the prince of my re
turn and was at once invited to break
fast at bis palace.
Proceeding there at the appointed
time, I was at once ushered into a hand
some reception room where the prince
was awaiting me. lie advanced to shake
bands, and said—in Japanese—a few
v.ords of welcome. 1 was taken some
what aback, but said iu French (the
language in winch the invitation had
been written): • I am, indci-d. pleased to
see your highr i ss after s > many years;
but you have changed so Unit I would
not have Known you, eycepting for the
eyes."
"All!" he rcplkd, "but 1 would have
knowu you at once."
I!e then presented me to some Hug
! ■ sll d arii .-.w ban!! understood Eng
lish, l:i<i p.h'.c in Id's own tongue, say
i " after the introduction was over:
"When we go to the United States, we
speak i 11 . When foreigners eome
here. tiie,. sic ibd use our language,and
I know that you e:.i: speak it."
"Well," I said. with somewhat of a
Mirug, "if I must speak Japanese. I
must, but I do not know by what title
to add res'-* you a* j ( |; ( ] years ago."
"1 J emember," he laughed. "You used
to call mc Chhai. Very well, Chistii
will do; but. let' us have Japanese!"
When the war broke out with China
Prince Arisugnwa took command of the
cruiser Akitsushinn and was on liter in
the now famous battle of the Yalu river.
After that he took his share in the
convoying of troops, theattacksonPort
Arthur, and Wci-hai-Wci respectively.
II was a short time before the assault
upon the stronghold of the Chinese licet
that the prince wuo called home to the
funeral of his half-brother, Tarwhito.
lie attended the rites, acting as chief
mourner, walked the long distance
from Surugndi dressed in Kamishitno
and straw sandals. The next day he re
turned to his vessel, and was in time to
participate in the capture of the Chi
nese fleet.
It was in 1878, when there appeared
iio probability of the emperor's having
male i sue, that the prince was adopted
by the emperor. The death of the
crown prime makes him heir-apparent,
and he will probably be proclaimed as
such as .soon as the public is notified of
the decease.
for the Japanese, Prince Arisugnwa
will make an ideal emperor. Accus
tomed to listen to advice, and to heed
the opinion of his advisers, and well
informed so far as foreign nations are
concerned, he is in every way prepared
to assume the throne, while his inborn
dignity will make him insist ujion the
respect due to his exalted position. Per
sonally lie entertains kindly feelings for
foreigners; but it is a question whether
h : influence will be powerful enough to
stem the anti-foreign sentiment which
prevails among the official classes.
