Sir: Referring to my dispatch No. 145, of date the 26th ultimo, stating that a bill repealing the law providing a bounty for Japanese subjects directly exporting raw silk had passed both houses of the Diet, I have the honor to inform you that the bill received Imperial sanction on the 25th ultimo, from which date it takes effect. That Imperial sanction had been given was not yet known when my dispatch No. 145 was written.

I have, etc.,

A. E. Buck.
