JAPAN IS FRIENDLY TO THIS COUNTRY TOKYO'S GREAT CELEBRATION IN HONOR or AMERICANS. People of Capital Go Wild With En thusiasm in Welcoming United States Sailors. Tokyo, Oct. 22.-The capital of Ja pan witnessed tonight the most extra ordinary evidence of the spirit of the new Japan. After having an audience with the officers of the American bat tleship fleet on Tuesday the emperor issued an order directing the people to increase in every way possible the enjoyment and pleasure of the American visitors, who came, he said, as historic friends of the Japanese nation. The response to this imperial mandate was seen and heard tonight. Originally a torchlight procession of 15.000 people vas planned as part of today's programme, but this feature went far beyond expectations and de veloped into a great popular demon startioJ n a.ap.n7890$..N284039$57S stration. Japan's war celebration after peace with Russia, London's "Maefeking night" and even New York election night revel would seem almost insignificant compared with Tokyo's celebration tonight. Mile after mile through madly cheering people the great procession wended its way. Representatives of. various guilds, vniversities, sel:o.ls of every class for boys and other organ izations took part, each individ:-al carrying a lighted .antern hel. high on -a long pole with American and Japanese flags in'rirwound. A dmira Sperry and the chief officers of the American fleet v..ed the spectacle from a special ar a fand, stanrh;L with bared heads above the seas of waving lanterns, the deafening roar of cheers and the clash of the musio from scores of bands which played the American national hymn. So dense did the crowds around the stand become that the entire proces sion was blocked until Admiral Sper ry was forced to leave in order to ikeep an engagement at the dinner given by Minister of Foreign Affairs Komura. Climax of Enthusiasm. Again at the Amer-iean embassy the great procession halted and the cli max of the enthusiasm was reached. When the head of the procession ar rived at the embassy and halted, Mrs. O'Brien and the other ladies of the embassy appeared upon the veranda and received a prolonged ovation from the crowds, every man and boy among the paraders lifting his hat to the ladies, while there were continuous shouts for the American ambassador, who had also left to attend the din ner The eiitire grounds surrounding the embassy were l-ighted with a sea of lanterns, and the demonstration lasted for two hours. Every band in Tokyo turned out for the parade and 'their favorite airs were "Yankee - Doodle,'' "Dixie'' and 'aJohn Brown.'' Thousands of the pa.raders wore fantastic costumes eharacteristic of Japanese celebrations. Every foreigner in Tokyo was deep}y impressed by tonight's re markable demonstration, coming, as it did, from an ordinarily undemoii strative people. * The entire day was taken up hy a series of elabor.ite entertainments to *Admiral Sperry and the other admir als of the American fleet and their aides TAe American commander, the oth er admirals and their aides, will leave Tokyo ata 3 p. in., October 23, 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 Foreign Affairs Komura tonight the minister, in proposing the health of Rear Admiral Sperry, said he was bidding him a reluctant good-bye. He *asked the admiral to take back to the people of the UTnited States the mes sage of good will and kindly feeling seen on every face and heard in every voice of tens of thousands, which was a sure reflection of the entiments of the loyal sub.jects of the empire. Ja pan never forgot, said Minister Ko mura, 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. Rear Admiral Sperry, in replying, said that the character of the wel come given the fleet by Japan could not be mistaken and it must he per pet.uated for generations, for no L ter gange of lasting friendship could be given than the banzias of the tens of /thousands of children massed in the streets "No two counties.'' said the admiral. "ever elsped hands across the sea closer than on this oc easion. Both countries may rest con tent that intelligent, friendly sym I pathy has drawn the ancient friend ly ties closer than ever before." During an interlude of a magnifi cent theatrical entertainment given tonight by the Bankers' club, Rear Admiral Sperry, the other rear ad mirals and their aides appeared on the stage, together with a committee of bankers, on behalf of whom B'aron Shibusawa presented to the Ameri cans an eloquent address of welcome, which was engrossed and illuminated and enclosed in a handsome box. Rear Admiral Sperry gracefully expressed his thanks. At Yokohama today 300 girls, all pupils of a music school, visited the flagship Connecticut an sang Ameri can national airs in English. The Ja panese girls all carried American flags and on leaving the ship in ligh ters sang "Hail Columbia'" all the way across the bay. GROOM SHOT TO DEATH ON HIS BRIDAL TOUR Former Suitor of Young 'Woman Ap pears on Train and Uses Revol ver With Fatal Result. New Orleans, La.. Oct. 23.-On her birdal tour, which had begun scarce ly an hour before, and seated in a railroad coach almost between her husband a former suitor for her hand, Mrs. Fred Van 1igen last night saw the flash of the suitor's revolver, felt the sudden grip of her husband's hand. as the bullet killed him. and then turned aad fought for her life. When the girl appeared about to become the victim of the sec ond bullet from the revolver, her un cle, a ,man with gray hair, but strong and cool under the excitement. rush ed up and thrust his thumb beneath the hammer of the revolver, jamming the mechanism and rendering the weapon harmless. This was the story which the other passengers on the Texas & Pacific "Cannon Ball" told when they reached this city today, but the prin cipal actors in the .tragedy, most of whom are connected with Louisiana's leading families, have so far refused to discuss the matter. "GIVE HIM THE REINS." A lady once ealled Henry Drum mond in to speak to her coachman, who had given way to drink, and he said he did not like to be called in like this to be asked to argue with people of a sudden, and try to cure their souls; but he felt it was a case demanding Christian intervention, so he plucked up his courage, and went out to talk to the man. In the course of a tactful conversation, he put this problem to him: "Suppose you were on the box and your horses ran away down hill, and you lost all control over them, what would you do?"' "Oh," said the man, "I could do nothing." "Yes," said Drummond, "but sup pose there was some one sitting by your side stronger than you, who could control them, what would you do?" "Oh," he said, "I would hanid him the reins, sir." "Ah,'' said Drummond, "your life has run away with you, your appe tites and passions and lusts are carry in you down hill, and you in your own strength can not control your life. But, believe me, there is one at your side stronger than you are, who offers to take control of your life, and make it what it should be. What will you do?" And the man, seeing the point, said, "Sir, I will hand him the reins." Religious Telescope. Paddy was sowing potatoes in his garden when Lord A. came along. Lord A., evidently wishing to test Paddy's knowledge of the different varieties of potatoes, called out in an authoritative tone: "I say, Paddy, what sort of pota toes are you sowing there'?" Paddy, not caring to let his rd ship have the better side of the ke, politely touching his hat, replied, "Rawones, yer lordship." * The First Cougi Rvet' hQugh not severe, has *tiye membranes of the throa Coughs then come easy all wi *slightest cold.
