SUDDEN RISE IN BONDS
JAPAN'S CltEDIT TAKES A
JUMP. ..
Rise Attributed to Tour of Mar
quis Ito Large Exports
of Silk.
(Correspondent of Associated Press.)
YOKOHAMA, Jan. 2L-Japan Is noting-
with some satisfaction the sudden
rise In Londeon In the value of her
new loan bonds, which a day or two
ago were quoted at Ui. a rise of
three and three-quarter pounds. The
war loan has Jumped up 1. The
rise is attributed In some measure to
the world tour of Marquis lto. The
moderate views of Marquis lto as ex
presed in New York together wUh
Judicious "puffing" In London are be
lieved to have already gone far to re
store Japan to her normal position
in the world markets. Marquis lto Is
expected to return to Japan about the
end of next month.
Th diet after a holiday recess is
considering the introduction of sev
eral bills. It is expected that as 'a
result of the victory of the cabinet
over the constitutionalists, a result
due, it Is said, to the telegraphic In
structions of Marqu's lto, president of
the opposition party, the budget will
be passed by both houses. One of the
chief measures contemplated Is a re
vised banking bill, designed to pre
vent the lnstirtulon of "wild cat"
banks.
United States citizens here are much
interested In a rumor from New York
of the posible establishment In Yoko
hama of an American bank. It is eon-
ceded here that the Americans suffer
materially for the want of such an
ihstlltution. All exchange affected by
American clttcens Is calculated to In
ure to the advantage of - European
banks and considering the amortiza
tion of the American share of the Chi
nese indemnity and expenses of ileets
and transports 1n these waters, to
gether with the transaction of ordi
nary private business, It Is thought
that an American bank under Ameri
can law could not fall to be a sound
enterprise. The year's report show
that Yokohama is again taking her old
place as the premier port of Japan.
Kobe had that honor last yera. One
of the causes of the readjustment has
been the unusual active condition this
year of the raw silk trade, a large pro
portion of which Is expected from
Yokohama. Since ' the production of
the fresh articles In June last up to
the middle of this month some 100,009
paceds were sold. This is said to have
been the most prosperous year in the
raw silk trade since the opening of
this port to commerce.
The effect on foreign residents of
the working of the revised treaties
has lately been receiving considerable
mieuuun. iue main aimcuiues re
maining between foreigners and the
' Japanese government are in relation
to the judiciary systems and the
quotation of the right to exact house
taxes and registration fees from hold-

in a telegram that the
ers of property held under the "per
petual lease" clause of the treaties.
This house quotation Is exciting the
government and householders at all
the treaty ports. The English and
French residents have secured the
support of their home governments in
their proposal to force a test case of
the question. The American conting
ent, however, seems to prefer to have
Its rights reserved by the home gov
ernment and to be willing to pay un
der protest of necessary, being as
sured that all such payments, if prov
ed unnecessary would be refunded.
The German residents are divided on
the question which Is likely to be
brought to a head before long. Sun
Yat Sen, the well-known Chinese re
former and revolutionist, who is now
In Yokohama, recently surprised his
followers by Intimating that he would
henceforth abandon violent methods of
reform in China, would disband his
secret society of which he is the head
and distribute its members over Am
erica and Europe so that they might
become educated and Inaugurate a
campaign of education. Sun, whose
kidnapping at the Chinese embassy in
London created a sensation few years
ago, Intends to return to China when
the Chinese court reopens and is now
paving the way for his return. He is
understood to be a marked man in
China and social reformers there have
latterly been receiving ishort shifts.
The representative of the Emperor
of Japan, at the forthcoming corona
tion of King Edward, will be Prince
Komatsa. who has twice been to Eu
rope and is especially welt-known to
the P.ritish royal family. He will be
accompanied by a suite of high of
ficials of the imperial household de
partment and prominent military and
naval officers and will leave Japan
during April.

AMBASSADOR CH0ATE.
Something; About Our lie-rrse-tatlve
in KnglHiitl.
It ts th custom of stun dema
g.xtues to claim that all America up
resentatlves at th cour. of St. Juntos
are snoba Th United States doe
not advance snobs to such a position
as Ambassador to Great Britain. Sure
ly no man la less of snob than
Joseph II. Choat.
There hav been very many good
stories told of Ambassador Choaite
since he has represented this country
In England. On of the most popular
Is to the efTeet tlmt at some glittering
function In London a titled blunderer
mistook th black-coated American
for a servant and said to him:
'Vail m a cab."
"Certainly, sir. You are a cab!''
retorted Choat.
In high dudgeon his lordship fcunted
up the host and lodged complaint. He
was Informed of the mistake that he
had made, and then the host hunted
up Mr. Choate to straighten the mat
ter out.
"Oh, that Is all right." Choat aald.
"I culled him cab, and had he been
a little nicer about It, I would have
called Mm a hansom cab."
Whether the story Is true or not, it
should be and those who know Joseph
H. Choate can easily believe that It
happened as told.
The name Choate is always coupled
with thoughts of the legal professlim.
and Joseph Hodges Choate by his
career at th bar has well upheld the
reputation of the great Uufus, ruinous
in American legal history. J. H.
Choate was born In Stilem, the quaint
j old town with its memories of witches.
; He ts now Just "0 years old. having
been born on January 24, ISM, He
graduated at Harvard In V&S and at
the Dane Law School In ISM. Ho was
admitted to the bur in Massachusetts
j but did not practice long in that state.
He wanted broader opportunities than
even Boston offered him, and hung
out a modest shingle. It did mrt take
! him very long to build up a splendid
practice. Perhaps his name helped.
Anyone wouhl have confided In the le
gal ability of a man named Choate.
The young lawyer had something more
than a name, however. He had a
splendid knowledge of the law and a
Pmcuiany. nueu tor nis pro
fession.
During the year when Mr. Choate
was engaged In the active practice of
his profession he was connected with
many famous cases. He was counsel
for General "Fits-John Porter In the
protracted investigation at West Point
before the board of officers appointed
by President Hayes, which resulted in
a reversal of the original court-mar-ttal.
He also appeared for General
Cesnola In the famous libel Suit
brought against him by Gaston L.
Fensrdent .which, after a most sen
sational trial, resulted in a disagree
ment of the Jury.
While Mr. Choate Is a brilliant ad
vocate, It is upon his wisdom as a
counselor that his splendid legal repu
tatlon is most firmly built. Large fees
for important opinions have made Mr.
Cnoat8 a very wealthy man.
