SPECTACULAR FEATURES.

OF the many spectacular leaeulcs VI
the torchlight parade on the first night
of the Yale bicentennial celebration
probably no one will so delight the
friends Of Yale as the float now being
prepared by the Japanese students at
the university. More than any other
one thing the active participation by
these foreigners in the celebration
shows how widely Yales reputation and
prestige have extended,
There are this year twenty-four Jap
anese at Yale Two are studying law,
with whose number might be connected
Mr.. Hatoyama, now lecturing in the
Law school on the Japanese code, VINO
graduated from the school as long ago
az '81. There are two or three study
ing divinity also, but the greater num-
her are pursuing courses in economics
NJ, in philosophy and kindred studies
under Professor Ladd. AS long ago as
1893 after the Japanese Revolution,
vounr KNIGHTS or Samurai began to
come to this coantry to get modern
education, but of these first students
the majority went to the University of
Michigan or to Harvard. only TWO or
three a year studied at Yale. But lat
err, attracted by the superior advan-
taees offered at Yale for training IN
the lines they most desire to follow, the
Japanese began flocking thither, until
now Yale contains not only more OF
them than any other college, but al
most as many as all the American col
lagos combined. 1t is most interesting
and significant that this year two
buddhist priests are at Yale, sent by
their home religious order to study eth
les and the philosophy of religion. The
presence within her walls of two such
men is a splendid witness of what Yale
means to the world at large.
IT is since Professor Ladd's visit to
Jspan in 1892, when he lecture on in
vitation before the principal education
al bodies of the empire, that the flow of
.Jananese to Yale has become so large
and steady most of the japanese grad
mates of Yale are therefore still too
youne to have risen very high at home.
But of the whole list who have received
some training here since the japanese
first began to come there are many very
prominent in public life. And the field
of activities in which these men are
busy is very wide. Among the best
known are Baron Tajiri, the leading
.Japanese authority on finance, and an
ey-minister of finance; Professor Hit
sukuri. who occupies the chair of biol
oey at the Imperial university in To-
,kio; Professor Kimara, who is high in
the government schools. In public sta

CURRENT COMMENT.
MAINE AND THE DEATH PENAL |
TY.
(Boston Transcript.)

T1.
(Bcston Transcript.)
A bill has been introduced In the Maine
Legislature providing for the reestaDlisn-
ment of the death penalty for murder; IL,
however, provides that the jury may, II
it pleases, recommend olemencys which
would allow tine judge to exercise his dis
erection in Imposing sentence. When
Maine became q separate State the desth
penalty prevailed, and was continued
until 1897, when the law was changed In
a way which practically lsft the punish
ment OF the guilty optional with the
governor, who frequently exercised his
power for the benefit of the prisoner. In
1876 capital punishment was abolished
with little opposition, and life tmprison-
ment was made the penalty for murder
in the first degree. This action was In
fiuencsd largely by the belief of many
Maine people that man who was
hanged for q murder on the Isle oil Shoals
YVES not guilty.
In 1883 a bill was introduced to restore
the death penalty, and 1t provoked one OF
the waf NEST discussions Of the session,
but was finally carried. Representative
Heath OF Augusta was a strong champion
Of the bill, and made remarkably tell
ing speech in favor of It, An Instance
cited by him, TO prove that the death
penalty causes dimtnution of crime,
was the case OF a murder In weeks Mills
in which n young man murdered his
mother In q most brutal way, and. on
being arrested promptly exolaimsd ID:
well they can't hang me-: !" This
don btless had considerable effect, and the
bill was adopted by good sized major
ity. In 1887 the law for capital punish
ment was again abolished. this time with
very little opposition.
The recent horrible murders In the
westsrn part of the Stats have again
aroused a clamor for the reenactment Of
the death penalty. But there will be
strong opposition to the measure, and q
long and vigorous debate Is expected. Ii
the Legislature follows the presidents
under which capital punishment has been
enacted in Maine before, the death PEN
atty seems likely to be restored there.

Prince Ching's suggestion that the
value of the loot grabbed by the allies
