People of Capital Go Wild With Enthusiasm in Welcoming United States Sailors. tokyo, Ocl. 22.?The capital of Japan witnessed tonight tlie most extraordinary evidence of the spirit of the new Japan. After having an audience with the officers of the American battleship fleet on Tuesday the emperor issued an order directing (he people to increase in every way possible the enjoyment and pleasure of the - meriean visitors, who came, lie said, , as historic friends of (he Japanese nation. The response to this imperial mandate was seen and heard tonight. | Oi iginallv a torchlight procession of t IS.OOO people was planned as part of today 's programme, but I his feature < went far beyond expectations and developed into a great popular demonstartioJ n aap.nTSOO#..N28'l0.'{0.fr)78 ] si ration.

So dense did 'lie crowds around the stand become that the entire proces- ! ?ion was blocked until Admiral Sperv\ was forced to leave in order to keep an engagement at the dinner * given by Minister of Foreign Affairs i Koniura. Climax of Enthusiasm. 1 Again at the American embassy the great procession halted and the climax of the enthusiasm was reached. , AV hen the head of the procession ar- \ rived at the embassy and halted. Mrs. s O'Brien and the oilier ladies of the j embassy appeared upon tlie veranda and received a prolonged ovation from | the crowds, every man and boy among ( tin- paraders lifting his hat to the J ladies, while there were continuous , shouts for the American ambassador,'] who had also left to attend the din- ! ncr I'he entire grounds surrounding tlie embassy were lighted with a sea ' ol lanterns, and the demonstration { lasted for two hours. F.very band in ' Tokyo turned out for the parade and their favorite airs were "Yankee ' Doodle, Dixie" and "John Brown." I Thousands of the paraders wore I fantastic costumes characteristic of (i Japanese cclebralions. Every foreigner in Tokyo was t deeply impressed by tonight's remarkable demonstration, coining, as li it did, from an ordinarily undemon- t stralive people. j the entire day was taken up bv a <i series o| elaborate entertainments to 1 Admiral Sperrv ami the other admir- y als of the American fleet and their o aides the American commander, the oth- v er admirals and their aides, will leave Tokyo at p. m., October 2.'l, when ' the scene of celebrations will change ' from this city to Yokohama and will close with a reception on board the flagship Connecticut on Saturday. ^ Minister Komura's Dinner. ^ At the dinner given by Minister of ^ I'oreign Affairs Koniura tonight the] minister, in proposing the hcal'lh of : Hear Admiral Sperrv, said he was bidding him a reluctant good-bye. lie ' asked the admiral to lake back to the people of the I'nitcd States the mes- ' sage of good will and kindly feeling ] seen <m every (ace and heard in everv > voire ot tens of thousands, which was! a sure ret lection ol the sentiments of the loyal subjects ol the empire. Japan never forgot, said Minister Koniura, that in her hour of stress she had not looked in vain to the great republic for sympathy, while in her forward struggle she had example and encouragement from the American people. Near Admiral Sperrv, in replying, said that the character of the welcome given (he fleet by Japan could not be mistaken and it must be per- | petnated for generations, for no b. tor gauge of lasting friendship could be given than t.hc bun/.ias of the tens of/thousands of children massed in the streets "No two countries," aaid the admiral, "ever clasped hands across (ho sea closer than on this occasion. Hotli countries may rest content that intelligent, friendly sympathy has drawn the ancient friendly ties closer than ever bofore." During an interlude of a magnificent theatrical entertainment given tonight by the Bankers' club, Rear Admiral Spcrry, the other rear admirals and their aides appeared on the stage, together with a committee of bankers, on behalf of whom Baron Shibusawa presented to the Americans an eloquent address of welcome, which was engrossed and illuminated and enclosed in a handsome box. Rear Admiral Spcrry gracefully expressed his thanks. At Yokohama today 300 girls, all pupils of a music school, visited the flagship Connecticut an sang American national airs in English. The Japanese girls all carried American flays and on leaving the ship in lighters sanji ''Mail Columbia" all the ivav across the bay. t 3ROOM SHOT TO DEATH [ ON HIS BRIDAL TOUR former Suitor of Young Woman Ap- I pears on Train and Uses Revolver With Fatal Result.

C "GIVE HIM THE REINS." A lady once called Henry Drumnond in to speak to her coachman, ^ vho had given way to drink, and he iaid he did not like to be called in ike this to be asked to argue with a >eople of a sudden, and try to cure ^ heir souls; but he felt it was a case c< lemanding Christian intervention, so J io plucked up his courage, and went ^ ?ui In talk lo the man. Tn the course Sl I' a (net fill conversation, he put this >roblem to him: "Suppose you were >n I he box and your horses ran awav lown hill, and you lost all control >ver them, what would you do?" ii "Oh, ' said the man, "I could do h lolhing." (] ""\es," said Drunnnond, "but sup- s; ?ose there was some one sitting by tl our side stronger than you, who ii mild control them, what would you ii lo?" T "Oh," he said, "I would hand him e: lie reins, sir." ci "Ah," said Drummond, "your life a< las run away with you, your appe- o iles and passions and lusts are carry- K ng yon down hill, and you in your ?> wn strength can not control your d ile. Bu(, believe me, lliere is one at it our side stronger than you are, who el Hers lo take control of your life, nd make it what it should be.
