AFFAIRS IN JAPAN.
United Press Association—Copyright LONDON. July I. The Hon. Mr. Samuel, a member of the Queensland Legislative Council, has returned from a visit l to China and Japan. In the course of an interview he said that over the school question a great deal. of feeling had been aroused in Japan against California. .There was a strong war spmt amongst the troops, who thought there was nothing to teach them in the art of war. They consequently were not. afraid of a conflict with the United States. Japan appeared to be prepared to force her rights to be regarded as a first-class Power.. Even in the land of -the Mikado, said Mr. Samuel, the" labor problem had to be solved. Artisans were demanding increased wages and permanent employment as the result, of the increased. price of' the' necessities of life. A' number of societies* had been formed in the large" cities for the purpose of protecting the interests and improving the 1; condition of the laboring classes. , The condition of the Japanese laboring classes -was deplorable. The ; wages paid were inadequate.
