GOVERNOR TAFT ON FUNSTON.
Where and How the Two Men First
Met.
Kansas City Journal.

Kansas City Journal.
General Funston has no truer friend nor
stancher champion than Governor Taft
These two gentlemen first met each other
in the military hospital at Manila They
were both brought there at the same time
to undergo an operation for appendicitis.
This dangerous and difficult operation was
successfully performed on each OF them
on the morning of a warm day In the fall
OF last year. They regained Consciousness
from the anaesthetics late In the after
noon. The day was one of unusual sultri-
ness even for the tropics. The earth was
as iron and the heaven as brass. The SIM
mering atmosphere brought no relief TO
sight nor TO any sense. The streets were
deserted and no motion was apparent nor
sound heard. The calmness was supreme
and ominous. Suddenly. as If chaos had
come again, the ground began to rise and
roll like the swells on the sea in the midst
Of the Pacific. and TO subside as II the
props Of the world had given away, and
the sitting dust arose and filled the air and
obscured the midday sun with the duski-
ness OF twilight. The pillars and beams of
the hospital. though grooved and mortised
with a view to such "A catastrophe. grOsned
and snapped and the roof appeared TO be
collapsing.
The guards and attendants as soon as
they recovered from their fright made a
precipitate attempt TO escape down the
stairways and over the ~verandas. But at
that moment a shrill, clear voice with
every ring OF sovereignty in it snapped out
a quick TO Halt The hubbub
ceased as If by magic. Halt" the voice
continued. Are you rascals going 10 leave
the Governor TO perish? Carry ont the Gov
ernor first and look 10 yourselves after
wards" And there by his cot stood Cen.
Funston, one hand supporting the ~bandages
on his newly made wound and his other
hand pointing a revolver at those foremost
in flight.
Governor Taft in repeating this incident
upon mis- recent visit In Washington said
that his own natural sOlicituda for himself
gave place 10 establishment as he Witnessed
the will power and nerve or the doughty
little Kansan. The Governor said that he
himself could move neither hip nor thigh.
and yet the general, afflicted az grievously
as he was, rose from his bed and made the
scared and clustered attendants pick Up
their Governor and carry him down and into
the streets to a place OF safety.
IL was in a Senate committee room well
filled with senators that Governor Taft re-
peated this tale, and al its end ne stated
thai he believed luck had but little TO do
with General Funston's marvellous success
that the glory that he has got was richly
deserved. for he is a man whom no danger
can excite or surprise confuse.

MARQUIS ITO TALKS.

TOXIC, March p, via Victoria, B. c.,
April Marquis Ito, the veteran states

speech which seemingly foreshadowed an
intention to abolish government by party.
He expressed himself as being In no posi-

whatsoever sort of government it may
prove TO be-" As the marquis is the head
of the Constitutional party, which he
founded and which is the strongest party
in Japan and which is now out of office,
this declaration was taken TO mean that
the marquis had abandoned the idea of
party government and was DESTROYS of an
easier role as critic and counselor. Since
then, however, events nave tended to prove
that the marquis was only reaSserting his
hold on the party and was DESTROYS of free
ing Japan's foreign policy from opposition
until he himself was ready to take the
reins. He has already modified his utter
ances by vague explanations.
