Perry Forgotten at Cora Hama.


It seemed strange enough that 1
could not come upon old residents, and
plenty of them, who remembered Per-
~. But in all the course of my travel
ing in Japan found almost none upon
whom the commodore's landing seemed
to have made any impression. One old
man of 80 and his son of 20 appeared
before the conclusion of my visit-men
who had seen Perry, remembered him
clearly and realized what he had done
for their nation. They are the two
whom you see standing beside the
monument. They are both, father and
son, fine specimens of Japanese old
manhood. Finely knit and erect of car
riage they look many years less than
they are.
1t gratifies me to know that had
hand in raising that handsome monu
ment as a memorial. 1 thought my
task was a hopeless one when l first
set about it. 1t was a long time before
1 could arouse any interest in the mat
ter but at last contrived to gain the
assistance of some influential japanese.
They were of. the Beiyu Kyokai, or
American Friends
Up to that time my talking had been
of no avail, although 1 was received
most Hospitality, being entertained in
princely manner by men of great dis

deaf ears. But when the right men took
hold of the matter it was hurried
along with admirable execution.

GROWING WORSE.
Cape Town British Are Ac-
tuaI|y Becoming Worried.
Martial Law Has Already Been Pro-
claimed in Several Districts.
Lord Rob rts Arrives at Cowcs and Is Accord
ed Unusual Ronors.

Cap Town, Jan. 2.--The British bat
tlcship Monarch will land guns, tomor-
row, as Il precautionary measure. The
situation is undoubtedly serious. II ~
true that the Dutch have not joined the
invaders in any considerable numbers,
but a lack vi arms Is believed to be the
true reason for abstention. In many
places horses are freely offered and in
formation readily supplied TO the
Bores.
The early proclamation Of martial
law in the Cape Town division is cx-
pectcd. This division does not include
Cape Town itself.
The latest reports show the situation
to be generally as follows: kuruman,
if still uninvested. probably soon will
be. Gripualand West is filled with
small parties of Bores who are working
south toward Priesta, for the purpose
Of cooperating with or supporting
Commandant Hertzog, whose advance
parties are in the neighborhood Of
Fraserburg.
The Beers have reached Glenbarry, a
few miles north of Graaf RENT, where
OF late the Dutch have given many
demonstrations of extreme sympathy.
In the eastern part of the colony the
advance guard of the Beers is close to
Mariasburg, about % miles northeast
OF Crad0ck. The general opinion here
is that the position is not properly ap-
preciated in England. The Worcester
conference excited the Dutch through
out the colony. Many old residents.
who are by no means alarmists, regard
a general uprising Of the Dutch as
quite likely.
