a most Interesting figure from tho po-

great fortune In business enterprises
of tremondoiiB scope before turning his
attention to politics His opportunity
n this fiold presented itself when
William McKinloy's name was broach-
ed for the Republican nomination for
president In 1890 and it was probably
due more io Mf. Hanna'a remarkable
capacity for organization and unremit-
ting exertions than to any other slnglo
factor that Mr. (McKinloy was nomi-
nated and wUbsequontly oloctod.

The offielal relations between the
United States nnd Japan according to
papers on file in the archives of the
state and navy departments at Wash-
ington date back to the early thirties
says Rudolph DeZapp in the Washing-
ton Times. In 1831 the attention of
our government was directed to tho
Japanese islands and it was thought
at that time that a good opportunly
had offered itself for Introducing
America to the notice of the Japanebv
in a friendly way by returning to their
native land a number of shipwrecked
Japanese mllors
The maties however miscon-
strued out mission nnd did not re-
ceive our advances in the same
friendly spirit in which they were
tendered. The American ship Morri-
sun upon arrival in fhe "Land of the"
Rising Sun" was repelled with vio-
lence. Our government thereupon
deemed it advisable in order to se-
cure tho proper respect of Japan to
dispatch two larger ships and the
Columbus nnd Vlnconnes were sent.
On this occasion polite but decisive
langunge was used on the part of the
Americans. The government of tho
United States wanted intercourse for
commercial and political purposes
with Japan as well as recognition for
the return of her shipwrecked sub
jects. Japan however obstinately re
fused. "No .rade oxcopt with Hol-
land" was the Japanese motto. Our
government being in no hurry dis-
played patlonco and wntchfulness.
In 1849 tho Japanese dotained sonn
Amorican seamen who wero chip-
wrecked upon Japan's coast. Tho
sloop Proble Captain Glynn forth-
with dropped in and gave tho Japa-
ncso authorities such a convincing
nrgumont that they gladly llboratod
tho Americans.
Provlous to 1803 tho ports of Japan
wero closed to forolgn vessels. In
18C4 Commodore Porry of tho United
Stntes squadron opened negotiations
with tho Tycoon of Japan and a treaty
as entered Into according to which
he ports of Shnodn and Hakodadi
were opened to the United States.
Previous to this Japan had practical-
ly remained a sealed book Russia
followed; with a treaty in 1S66.
In 1SS7 Mr Harris consul general
of the United States made a new
trea'y by which the port of Nagasaki
was opened to the United States the
("friendly power" as the United States
I was always styled In the diplomatic
correspondence with Japan. Then
came Great Britain with a treaty by
which the ports of Noegata and II logo
were opened. Franco nnd the Nether-
lands also obtained treaty ports. It
was these treaties which caused tho
trouble that led up to tho battle in
1803. The troaty making powers did
not understand tho internal political
divisions of Jnpan.
These treaties warp negotiated with
tho Tycoon supposod to be tho sov-
erolgn ruler of tho empire and such
was tho supposition for ton years.
As a matter of fact the government
of Jnpan at that tjmo was feudal in
Its character. First there was tho
Mikado .the titular ruler of tho em-
pire; thn the Tycoon exercising ex-
ecutive power aud last but not least.
petty princes styled Dalmios who
ruled over thirty-seven provinces had
their retinues and were really the
jbone and sinew of the military power
of the empire. Some of these princes
sided with the Mikado against the pro-
gressive policy of the Tycoon . Others
kldqd with the Tycoon and Japan was
in commotion; for ten years or more
civil war raged. In the excitement of
the times the Unl'ed States legation

like a merchant vessel. Inside the
narrow entrance could be seen two
square rigged vessels and n s'eamer
anchored close to the town. As soon
as McDouga! saw them he held a con-
sultation with his officers and said:
"Gentlemen we will either blow
those ships out of the water or sink
ourselves. ' He then gave the orders
