significance of Permission for
Dress Parade,

YOKOHAMA, Jan. 13-(Via San Francis.
CO, Feb. 1.-THE Forty eighth Regiment
(colored) United States Volunteers has
created decided sensation here this week
The soldiers arrived on the transport Grant
which did not coal at Honolulu because OF
the plague. She will leave here tomorrow.
The men had shore leave and behaved ad-
mirably, and their solitary hearing has
been much praised. This afternoon the
regiment will give a dress parade and a
great crowd is expected at the unusual
spectacle of an armed force of American
troops on Japanese soil.
The fact that what would have been for
hidden two eyars ago is now granted by
the authorities shows the changed attitude
of Japan toward the United States. The
plague has disappeared from Koko, but it
reigns in Osaka, taking the form of lung
disease which proves very fatal. Thirty
nine cases have been noted.

development, human progress would
be hssteDed. But il the black world
was to be exploited, ravaged and
degraded by the greed Of the white,
the result might be fatal to the high
ideals Of freedom, justice, and culture
which a thousand years Of Cbristisn
