JAPAN.
Colonial Statesman’s Impressions. London, July 2. Mr Samuel, a member of the Queensland Legislative Council, who has returned from a visit to China and Japan, in the course of an in terview, said that over the school question a great deal of feeling had been aroused in Japan against California. There was a strong war spirit amongst the troops, who thought there was nothing for them to learn in the art of war. They were consequently not afraid of a conflict with 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 the labour problem had to be solved. Artisans were demanding increased wages and permanent employment, as a result of the increased price of necessities of life. A number of societies had been formed in the large cities for the purpose of protecting the interests and improving the conditions of the labouring classes. The conditions of the Japanese labouring classes were deplorable, and the wages paid inadequate.
