change la made on account of dissatis;f C m n at the manner in which Minister lateno has conducted the negotiations with the Washington Government looking to the modification of tpe extra-territorial treut es. The reason assigned for the change is said by a Washington eorre -pondent to bo erroneously stated. While there have been negotiations between the Governments of Japan and the United States since 1882, looking to a. revision of the treaties, little has been done in this respect re< ently and the notes that have passed contain no matt r that was objet tionable to our government or that in the slightest degree could subject Mr. Tateno to cenfcm’O by his own government. Furthermore, it can lo podti ve- ♦ i on highest authority tnat the change in the legat ion is in no way connected with the communications addressed to the Japanese Government by the Department of State on the Korean imbroglio, a successor to Mr. Tatento has been appointed, which would not have been the case had the Japanese Government been disposed to resent Secretary Gresham's representations.

Corn on the Boom. Great interest attaefiea to the prespects of the corn crop. It affects not only the farmer, but trade generally throughout the country, and more particularly in the three great corn States, 1 lowa, Kansas 'and Nebraska, comprisin the western half of the corn belt, where the drought has wrought great damage. Hains have come in some I sections, but the belief is that they have come too late and that the yield will be half or even less of the usual crop, and that of inferior quality. Ihe eastern part of the corn belt, j however, will give an average yield, and in eases of copious rains, which । are predicted, an excess may be ex- ; pected, so that a fair average will be maintained. But the prices of corn have decidedly upward tendency, ; owing to the reports of failure of the i crop. A Keinrtrkulilc Strike.

The debate In the Senate XVednesday was rather tame. The galleries were crowded, as usual, in expectation of a renewal of the great struggle of the past few days. Mr. Caffery got the floor early and resumed his speech. His remarks did not arouse much interest, and the galleries were soon visibly thinned out. Mr. Hunton, of Virginia, and his colleague, Mr. Daniel, followed with short and uninteresting speeches, and at 2:30 the Senate went Into executive session, and shortly afterward adjourned.

The message announcing that the Senate insisted on its amendments to the tariff bill and agreed to the request of the House for a further conference was received by the House at 3:15 p. m. without giving rise to any demonstration.

Having arrived there Dusty Rhodes wa* invited to take a bath, with soap, and was then directed to a wood or stone pile. After exercising his muscle for a while he was furnished food and lodging. The result was the tram i as a species soon emigrated from Baltimore. Bits of Tilings.
