Grasping the ofender firmly with ‘one band, With the other he extracts from an 1a- visible pocket of great capacity a roll of strong cord. Whispering poltte and minute directions in ‘tae ear of the victim, whoobeys them with scrupu- lous consideration for the feelings of his captor, he winds the cord several times round his waist and ‘then attaches his wrists in optical contact with ‘the small of nts back. Six feet of cord remain, the policeman grasps the loose end, and bowing to tue prisoner with an “After you, sir," the pair march away in a touching union of sadness and securit y. ‘The neighborhood is paralyzed during the per- formance, business 1s suspended, trafic is stopped, and the Dob-talled vop-knot of Bo-cuan, the baby stands ut up from his cranium 1b alarm ai disapproba' jut the moment tue polite pollce- ian and bis politer prey have disappeared round ‘the corner ail tne ors burst out laughing two minutes afterward tue of both parties. “Why on earth doesn’t the Jap- ‘suese policeman use handcufls?” I give it up.

JAPANESE PRISONS. With the exception of the Yesbiwara, of which plenty hereaiter, the two prisons of TOky arethe most interesting things I have seen in Japan. ese are, first, the great prison upon the island Of isakava, al tue south of the clty, and. secoud, the convict und female prison of Ichigawa, in the center of the ciiy itself. The former is completely isolated, all commuuicauon with the mainland being by police-terry, and contains 2,052 men and boys, ail of whom are serving terms Of ten years or less. The latter contains 1,400 nen and 100 wo- men, among whom are tauuy serving iife-sen- tences, iere is a convicl-farm attached, and it 4s here that capital puzisument fs inflicted. Other. wise the tWo prisons resembie each other so closely that It 1s not necessary to distinguish between ikem tm deseription.

MAJESTIC AIRS AND AWE-INSPIRING WORDS OF CA- NADIAN OFFICIALS—HOW SUMMEN-HOTEL MEN ARE ROBBED—PAYING TRIBUTE TO HEAD-WAITER AND STEWARD—TRICKS OF DISHONEST WAITERS. {Copyrighted} There is an amiability about the statesmen of Canada which is not known in others countries. ‘Whether it, comes from the fact that the politicians here are obliged to be many-sided to please the English, Scotch, Irish and French and Great Britain, the United States, and a dozen or two other interested factions, 18 noi clear. I have re- cently come in contact with allthe ministers of State from Sir John Macdonald down, and with most of the ex-poiltical leaders. I have found them exceeding amiable after they had recovered from their frst attack of dignity. Once the Ca- nadian official believes you are suMiciently tm- Pressed by his importance he drops all his ex- terior pretense to greatness, but for tue first tea minutes of the interview I was almost invariably {reated to a mien of portentous and solemn ma- Jesty. This, however, soon gave way to the patural kindliness and courtesy which are typl- cal of the people. SUAVE AND HOSPITABLE. It strikes me as being @ combination of French suavity and English hospitality. At all events the manner of the Canadians of the higher class 1s ad- mirable and amiable. Sir John Macdonaid I found to be as soft and affectionate-spoken 4 man as I ever met. He looks like the late Lord Beacons- fleld, talks Uke Dion Boucicault in the “Shaugh- araun,” sits like Mansfleld’s impersonation of Mr. ‘Hyde, wags a long aud impressive forefinger in a fashion that should raise the ghost of Inspector Bucket, and talks about state questions with the Damme, Sir! that reminds me of Joha Gilbert's impersonation of old English characiers. Ido not think of anything else ‘at the moment that Sir Joho reminds me ot, but if anything turns up I will telegraph i, What seemed to impress him most Was the sad and Imeompr hensible depravity of American poiltictans in u-ing the fishery and other questions for political purposes. He spoke 0 eioquently and patheucaily on these points that for a time I was seriously aft-cted. ‘Then it slowly came back to my memory that Sir John 13 Perhaps te Most Crafty, gawky, merciless, ac- compushed, strategic, and mastertul scaemer known to the political’ world of Luis or any otuer country to-day, aud I ceased to be sad lke a shou. Ale as had a gtasp of the reins of power tn Canada, that notiing'uas been able to sl.ke for forty seven years, dad If all sigus are not erroneous, ne is likely to"keep on steering the Dominion on Its Present prosp-rous course for foriy-seven years juore, Alter that, 1 1s currentiy reported that be will go to Europe and accept 2 pe rage, tue pre- miership or some such interesting chunk of great hess, and settle down to enjoy iife, At present I do not think that Canada couid do without him, for bis name here, like Gladstone’s in Eugiand, 13 in the mouth of'every one you meet. This is a criterion that holds good ali over the worl. with two prominent excepions—Boulanger and Blaine, CONMERCIAL UNION AND ANNEXATION. It America is ever toget hold of Canada by annexation, commercial union or otherwise, this 4s the time to act. The Dominion ts getting bigger every hour, and what ts much more important, 18 developing’a spirit of nationally that will, before long, become asserdve aud iudepeudent, Once Unis’ reuches @ climax ull talk of a peaceable Ahbexatlon Will have to be thrown to tue winds, ‘Tue northwest, particularly, 1s tue point oa which the eyes of the patrlouc Canadians are fixed.
