poKIO, Jan. X. I had a teas chat this
lernoon wth Marquis Ito, the confl-
iiial adviser of the Japanese emperor,
the statesman who, more than an
pre, directs the game of politics In the
Bast. For a generation and more
rquis Ito has been at the head of.
5T great movement in Japan. "He has
Id e ery great position, in the gift of his
remment. He was premier at the time
the war with China, and it was his
;tcr mind which aided largely in the
lotion, of that straggle to a successful

peace with LI Hung Chang. Before
since then Marquis Ito has been tho
pcf power behind the throne, and it is
who today is largely directing the for-
poucy of Japan. He is. in fact, the
id one and Bismarck of this part of
word, standing higher than LI Hung
g has ever steed, and having the
'Saerce not only of the leading men
I Japan, hut that ef the emperor.
k nervations of Marquis Ito and the cm-
2r have been for many years of the
ftest possible nature. They began with

..ke seclusion of his palace in Kioto
Id Ly the party to which Ito belonged
ucd on the throne at Tokio, and made
ivai ruler of Japan. It was Ito who
4ed as tutor and adviser to his majesty
his dealings with foreign nations, and
the reconstruction of Ms empire along
lines which have produced the new
pan and made the Japanese people the
safest of the Asiatic nations.
Xto's Romantic Career.
ireute Ito was. in fact, the first of the
pat men of Japan to realize that his
-try could not remain shut out from
rest of the world, and that it could
successfully fight the great nations
I Europe without modern ships and with-
it a knowledge of our science of war.
le story has been told, but never as
prq-Is Ito himself could tell it. He got
tlrst glimpse of the Western clvlliza-
n as a boy. Then, as now, he was an
tense patriot, and he, like the other
:g nobles of the time, was opposed to
ring foreigners land in Japan. He was
u soldier class, and at one time be
te rd to a band of young men who ran
-y from their homes, with the idea of
iar,rg the foreign ships and men from
arbor of Yokohama. Their boyish
euan was discovered and stopped by
s ulers of the shogun. A little later
Ito saw the warships of the foreigners
mticed how well they were armed
managed, and he concluded that the
ty way his country could ever success-
7 ght the Europeans would be by its
-.i f -earning their methods. For this
rr so he and Count Innouye. decided to

you will find Japanese settlements in all
the ports and chief cities. We are xhip
Ping a good deal of our cotton goods to
Corea and the Coreana export a large
amount of rice and other things to Ja
pan." The SIclc 3Xan of Asia.
"How about the relations of Japan and
China, your excellency? The possibility
of an alliance, defensive and offensive, is
frequently spoken of, is It not?"
"Yes, it has been suggested by outsiders,
but I can assure you no such thing is In
contemplation among the Japanese. What
would be the sense of a well man forming
an alliance with a sick man lor defense?
It would be very foolish on the part of
the well man, would It not? That la the
situation of Japan and China, and I need
not say that Japan has the place of the
well man."
"Such an alliance," said I. "would be
like a man In perfect health voluntarily
handcuffing himself to a corpse?" The
marquis laughed, and I could see that he
thought my statement expressed his Idea
df the situation, although he did not
directly reply.
How about the Chinese government.
your excellency?" I asked. "Do you think
it can last?"
"I don't see how It can continue to ex
ist long In Its present state. It Is not
fitted to the times and the new condi
tions which are about to take place In
China. It Is a government which does
not govern. It has but little control of
the people, and It would seem to me that
It must give way to the spirit of the
times."
"If so, your excellency," said I, "what
will take Its place? What is to be the
future of China?"
"I cannot answer that," was Marquis
Ito's reply. "I should myself like very
much to know. You have seen what has
been proposed and partially accomplished.
I refer to the division of the Chinese em
pire, as far as trade relations and fleldB
of commerce are concerned, among the
great powers. Russia wants the north,
Germany aspires to a slice a little farther
down, France hopes to control the trade
of the extreme south, and England would
like to claim as hers the great valley of
the Yang Tse Klang."
"But where does the United States come
in?" I asked.
Advocates the "Open Door."
"That remains to be seen," was the re
ply of the great Japanese statesman.
"She should, I think, clalnu as wo do,
that the whole country should be open
to all the world for trade, commerce and
manufacturing. China Is an enormous
field, with vast coal deposits and valua
ble minerals. It has rich resources which
are undeveloped, and It has a popula
tion which, as it grows richer, through
the opening up of the country, will be
one of the greatest consuming popula
tions of the globe. There Is to be the out
let fer your and our manufactures. It
seems to me that the present crisis is an
Important one for the United States, and
that your people should give the future of
China serious consideration. Personally,
I should like to see the United States
do all that is possible to bring about
the consummation of the open door poli
cy for China."
"How does Japan regard the coming of
the United States into Pacific waters?" I
asked.
"We are, indeed, glad to welcome the
United States as one of the permanent
residents of our part of the world," re
plied Marquis Ito, emphatically. "We
very well realize that the taking of the
Philippines by your country was not the
result of a war of conquest. We know
you had no Idea of acquiring territory
here when you declared war upon Spain.
You are not an aggressive people, and the
Philippines came to you only as one of
the results of the war. We deem It a
matter of good fortune for us that the
islands are yours."
Philippine Question.
"Do you think the Philippine Islands
will be a valuable possession for the
United States?
"Yes, I do." said Marquis Ito. "I have
never visited the Philippines, but I have
had opportunities to learn much about
them. They are rich Islands and have
great resources. They will be of value
to you Indirectly also In attracting the
attention of your people to this great
field of Asiatic commerce and trade, and
will give you a base from where you will
probably get your share of It. It seems
to me that the United States cannot af
ford to let go of the Islands, and that
from now on your people must take your
place among the great working and devel
oping powers of the world. You have so
far tried to live within yourselves, but
this war has forced you into your natural
position among the greatest of the
world's powers, and It seems to me you
cannot but accept the situation. I be
lieve the time will soon come. If It Is not
already here, when you will need this
Asiatic market You are growing so fast
in wealth and population. You have enor
mous supplies of raw materials, most fa
vorably situated for manufacturing, and
your skill in manufacturing and commerce
is such that you must have a world mar
ket. A large part of that market in the
future will be found here on this side of
tho globe."
"I suppose Japan expects to have it3
share of the market of China?"
"Yes, of course." replied Marquis Ito.
"We hope to do our share of the work
and trade -of this side of the world. We
are, however, but a small country, and
in number we are comparatively few. We
have now a population of about 43,009,009.
We need more capital, and our people
are now thinking that they could make
profitable combinations with your people
In manufacturing here for the Chinese.
We are on the ground. We understand
the field and the natives of the different
countries, and by such combination we
could both dp better than cither could
alone."
1 "What Is the present situation In Japan
Marquis Ito, Premier Statesman of Japan.
as affected by your war with China? Was
the war a benefit to the Japanese?"
"In some respects it was, and In some
respects not," replied Marquis Ito. "As
far as stimulating new enterprises was
concerned, it gave everything a push. We
have more factories and are doing1 more
business than we have ever done. The
times are fairly good and our people are
making money. The war very materially
helped the standing of Japan among the
great powers of the world, and I think it
has on the whole been a good thing for
Japan."
"Why do you say on the whole, your
excellency? Are there any respects in
which It was not a good thing?"
"Yes." said Marquis Ito. "but even In
! these things It may eventually turn out
! for good. We have considerable trouble
I to make the people see and do the right
i thing. I mean In parliament. We are a
young nation in Western methods, and na
tions grow slowly. They are, like men,
sometimes apt to do indiscreet and rash
things in their youth. We are largely
controlled by public opinion, and this
changes with the times, and In some
cases It seems to me not always for the
best.
"But, your excellency," said I, "you
have been with the new Japan from Its
beginning; can you look back and not be
satisfied with your wonderful progress?"
"I am satisfied with many things, and
there are many which I think mleht be
bettered. Our people have not yet learned
to govern themselves, at least, we have
not by any means yet reached the per
fection of government. I doubt not
we shall Improve by experience, but I
should like to see the march of improve
ment more rapid than it is."
"How about the new treaties which
went Into effect last year? Do they really
give Americans better opportunities to
travel and do business In Japan than they
had before?"
Open to Foreigners.
"Yes, indeed," was Marquis Ito's re
ply. "Our whole empire is now open to
foreign trade and residence. Foreigners
can travel everywhere without passports.
They can establish factories and other
Industries and, as far as business Is con
cerned, they have all the opportunities
possessed by our own people. They are
subject to Japanese laws and have In
every respect almost the same rights and
privileges possessed by the Japanese.
They cannot acquire property In fee sim
ple, but they can secure It on long leases,
which accomplish practically the same
ends. I hope and trust the new treaties
will bring the United States and Japan
into closer commercial relations. Your
people have always been friendly to us,
and we hope that In business and in all
other respects our relations will become
closer as time goes on."
"How do you regard our war with the
Filipinos, Marquis Ito?" I asked.
"I think It is a great mistake on the
part of the Filipinos to fight with the
Marchioness Ito, Wife of
United States," was the reply. T saw f
their inclination to make war even be
fore the peace treaty was signed and the
country was formally given over to you
by Spain. I felt then that I should like
to do all In power to have prevented the
war and shown Agulnaldo and his party
that they were working diametrically
against their own interests. They should
realize that the occupation of tho Phil- i
. it (W ' ' '
ipplnes by the United States is the 'best I
thing that could have happened to the
Islands and to themselves as Individuals.
If this money which you are now spend
ing in fighting could have been used In
developing the resources of the islands
It would have bettered the condition of
all the people. I have no doubt, however,
but that you will soon be able to put
down the insurrection, and that the Fil
ipinos will see that your occupation of
the country Is the best thing that could
have happened to It."
Marquis Ito to Uncle Sam.
At thl3 point the private secretary of
the marquis brought In two glasses of
wine, and I drank with the great Japan
ese statesman to the continued friendship
of Japan and the United States. As I did
so, I asked his excellency if he would not
through me send a message to the people
of the United States. Marquis Ito thought
a moment, and then replied:
"You may say for me to your people
that Japan has the friendliest feeling
toward her good and great friend, the
United States. We have been associated
together for years In the family of na
tions, and have never had a quarrel nor
a disagreement. The United States has
always shown herself to be Japan's friend,
and the Japanese appreciate that fact,
and wish to reciprocate for it in every
way we can. You may say that we are
therefore especially glad that you have
become one of the countries of the west
ern Pacific, and we sincerely hope that
you may find here a profitable field of
commerce and investment.
"As far as I am personally concerned,"
Marquis Ito went on, with considerable
feeling, "I wish to express my kind regard
for the people and government of the
United States. They have been especially
good to me, and I owe them much. I spent
a number of months In your country years
ago studying your financial system In
your treasury department at Washington.
This was when Qeneral Grant was presi
dent; when Hamilton Fish was secretary
of state, and George S. Boutwell secretary
of the treasury. All were very kind to
me, and gave me every assistance possible.
It was through these studies that I was
able to formulate the financial system
which Japan now has, and also to acquire
much other knowledge which has been
of benefit to me, and, I hope, of, value
to my country. Yes, you may truly say
that I am, and shall always be, a friend
of the United States."
Marchioness Ito.
After these words the Marquis Ito cor
dially shook my hand, .as he said good
bye. At my request he wrote his auto
graph on the photograph which Is pub
lished herewith, giving me at the same
time a photograph of Madame Ito, the
marchioness. Both are excellent like
nesses, having been made by a Japanese
photographer only a few days ago. The
marchioness, so Marquis Ito. tells me,
Is in delicate health. She spends the most
of her time at Marquis Ito's villa by the
seashore, which is about two hours by
rail from Tokio, his excellency going
there every Saturday, in order that he
may spend Sunday with her. The mar
chioness dresses in European clothes, as
do many of the noble ladles of Japan.
Marquis Ito, in rep'y to my question as
to whether his wife was Interested In
politics, said:
"No, she has not progressed so far as
that yet. Our women are not yet clamor
ing for political rights, though they may
do so by and by."

ROUGH ON OLD REPORTER.
Unused to Typewriter, He Indites a
Column Story on One Line.
The old reporter never mastered the
mysteries of a typewriter. It seeme"d to
him to be quite Impossible to let his
thoughts be tapped off from the finger
tips, and he was positive that all such
composition must be mechanical In form.
When a new set of machines was in

troit Free Press, ho determined that he
Tvould learn how to run one, If for no
other reason than to deny that he had
failed to keep up with the march of prog
ress, but he made a silent vow that when
ever he wanted to "spread" himself, he
would do It In the good old-fashioned way,
with pern or pencil.
His first attempt at writing 0.1 the ma
chine was Inditing a note to a personal
friend. After spending an hour or more
hunting out the various keys and tapping
them deliberated, he finished a couple
hundred words and was much elated ovei
his success. That night he came In with
a column story, and showed up earlier
than was his wont, In order to leave a
sufficient margin for the slowness of ma
chine writing by one not. accustomed to It.
He sat down to his typewriter with much
elaborateness of preparation, and slowly
the thread of his story was strung out,
the letters dropping with a hesitancy and
irregularity of speed that reminded the
listener of the dropping of walnuts after a
frost. When nearly at the end of his
story, he was interrupted for a moment,

and when starting In again lifted the
roller to get the connection of the last sen
tence written.
Imagine hl3 consternation to find that
he had forgotten to space his work, and
that all of his column-long story had been
written on a single line! The typewriter
was ruthlessly shoved oft to another table
and the old reporter never so much as
-touched one afterward.
