JAPANESE ClASSMEN,

Western Countries.

Western Countries.
No crusader of the west. no Viking

of loyalty and chivalry than the clans
men of old Japan: no Corsican more
ruthlessly handed down feud from

from son and brother the execution of
a sterner vendetta. The Satsuma men

Grafton the defeat inflicted on their
forefathers in the year 1900 by the Tol1u-

Legend and drama recount every day
to eager ears the stories of sons who
died to avenge their fathers, clansmen
that they might Stay the foemen who
had caused the death of their lord.
The favorite heroes, who hold in popu-
lar estimation the place assigned by us
to Robin Hood and his men, are the
forty-seven ronins, a name given to men
who have lost their clanship. Their
lord was obliged to commit hara -kiri,
or judicial suicide, for having within
royal precincts drawn his sword on
noble who had insulted him. and these
stanch vassals devoted themselves to
the destruction of the insulter. know
ing assuredly that. having slain him,
they would be equally condemned to
take their own lives. Still may be
seen fresh incense sticks burning be-
fore the graves of their leader
and his young son and visiting cards
stuck into the little tai lets above them
as tokens of the respect in which they
are held by those who know their story
and deplore their doom.
Mr.. Black records that at 4 review of
British troops in 1864 at Yok ohama a

there. At the conclusion he was asked
TO allow the escort of his retainers who
had accompa MED him to go through
their drill and tactics, 20 which he
readily consented. Turning TO Sir
Rutherford Alcock, who was inspect

and coal men are anxiously watching
the rivers tonight The weather has
been very mild for thirty-six hours,
and II has been raining here and at the
headwaters since yesterday. The ice in
the first pool has broken, but the three
upper Monongahela pools are still
frozen solid, and it is feared that
sudden break up will cause great dam
age to craft from gorges. On account
of the low stage Of water, however, the
rivermen here hope that il the break
comes the ice will pass out quietly.
There was more activity about the
river fronts tonight than for months,
and every Drecaution was being taken
to prevent disaster. Extra guards were
placed on the boats and care was taken
that the vessels were securely tied at
their mooring places. The river at this
point was rising at six o'clock with four
feet on the marks. Ii was still rising
and raining at all headwater points,
but a cold wave, predicted by the
weather bureau, may reach here in time
to check the break.
