C., July 2.—Toru Hoshi, the Japanese Minister, is likely to be recalled at an early date. While officials of the Japanese le- gation here claim to be in ignorance of any such probability, well in- formed opinion in State department circles inclines to the belief thet Mr. Hosbi will ask for his papers within a short time. The reasons for the Minister's recall are two fold, not the least po- tent of which is said to be the feel ing of the Mikado’s government and of the minister personally toward the United States over the Hawaiian difficulty. The Minister himself feels insulted because the State de- partment did not apprise him of the negotiations which led to the signing of the treaty for snuexation of Ha- | waii, and, while the Japanese home government is incenséd on account of this and what it terms lack of consideration cf its rights in Hawaii in the framing of the treaty itself, the condition of Japanese politics affords a eecond reason for the Min ister’s recall. itching, burning, bleeding, sca! humors, instantly relieved by 2 with CcTicrea Soap, a single appi.
