A feudal system developed Tn Ja- pan. just as it developed in Europe ana for the same reason, and the Emperor became the head of the religious state. or "Mikado," and was practically a re- cluse and mere hgurehead. Of course, during this period the emperor's birth day was not celebrated. with much pomp' If at all.
 The great day of the "Restoraton" dawned, however, in 1888. and all the powers that had heen vested in the carrier emperors were restored to the prince Wno' under the holy title of Mikado-the Hon orable Gateway''--had been nominally, but not actually, the head of the empire.

 In the first year of Meiji, 1888, the Em- peror iseued a proclamation establishing September 3 of the old calendar as the day for the observance of T%eneno-SettsSu; % se tSs day. A great feast was given to tne xovernment officials the people met at different places throughout the empire t9 celebrate the day, flags were usplayeu over every house. and the entire country gala sDlnrrsS in tse fGl the scona of the celebration by inviting all foreign and 1.ssE s Sss.s The Sestivities were still further height sned in the third year of .a1te ths Me e iSS SS gums and the review . f the imperial army st T Tokyo by the Emperor in person. =

JAPAN'S NATIONAL
 FESTIVAL DAY
Japan and America.

Japan and America.
 The 3rd of November is day of re- joicing throughout the Japanese Empire and wherever they are living all over the world. It is on that day that the anni- versary of the emperor's birthday is eel ebrated. The day has been known as "Tencho-Setsu" ever since the reign of Emperor Konin.
 The birthday of the Japanese Emperor means more than that of the ephemeral rulers of the Western world. Dynasties have risen and fallen in the West, em- pires have fourished and decayed, and the continents of Europe and Asia have been overrun by conQuering hordes a half-dozen times during the unbroken more than 2,OOO years. according to Jap anese historians, the imperial hne-as emperors, mikados and again as emper- ors-has continued undisturoed, and has been upheld by the most unwavering pa- triotism and loyalty that has perhaps ever characterized any people in history. The celebration of a fete daN that means so much, and that is linked with imme- event of tremendous significance. There Is no wonder that the Japanese have 1t as their national holiday.
 The Emperor Konin C77O-7Sl A. D. was the first to proclaim the day of his birth as a national holiday. This monarch was so proud of the glory of his country. and of his share in 1t. that his birthday seemed to him Of national importance. He, therefore. issued proclamation as
 'The 18th of October Gin the old cal endar) Is the day of my birth: and as often as this day comes. my heart is filled with devotion toward my parents, and with joy. I therefore command the priests of various temples to offer pray CTS to the spirits of my ancestors and to perform due ceremonies; and also com mand that upon this day there shall be no killing of any sort of animal. here by hold festival for this day, and sum mon all the dignitaries of various ranks from every part of my dominion to feast upon 1t. This day shall henceforth be called Tencho-Se'su. and be caused to be proclaimed throughout my domain.
 The national feast day. thus established by Konin. was religiousiy and civilly ob- served throughout Japan with great pomp and general rejoicing for genera ton after generation. But there came time, as was almost invariably the case with empires of an earlier day, when the great military power became supreme, The Samurai and the Shogun became in

 Smith Witnesses.

Manila, Dec. 2.-Orders have been received from Washington directing that Major Glenn of the 5th infantry, shall be put on trial a second time for alleged cruelty committed during the Samar cam paign. Major Glenn is charged with hav- ing ordered the execution of several native guides for misleading the Ameri- can column sent against the enemies stronghold.
 Major Glenn himself reported the inci- dent which has been the subject Of an extensive inquiry for several months past. Major General Chaffee ordered two in- vestigations to be made by Inspector Gen. eral Colmore and Major Watts. who made inquiries. General Chaffee forwarded their reports to Secretary Root before he relin- quished his command and without making any recommendation.
 Secretary Root now orders General Davis to formulate charges against Major Glenn and convene a court martial Major Glenn is now commanding post at Bay- ambang, district of Pangasinan, Luzon. and he was today ordered to hold himself in readiness to appear here for trial. It is said the trial will reopen the entire question of the Samar campaign and consume some time.
 General Chafsee and Brigadier General Smith are to be called as witnesses but it is DOS sible their dispositions will be taken instead.
 Major Glenn was tried by court martial at Manila last May for administering the water cure" to natives during the Samar campaign and was found guilty and sen- tenced to one months suspension from duty and a fine of $500 President Roose- welt approved the findings of the court.

ter of marine at Rome. to the effect that
from his ship, now at Sidney, N. s..
daily communication has been held
with the Mareoni station at Poldhu, on
the Cornwall coast, as well as thruout
the voyage.
This is of first Importance, and comes
from an official source which diVests 1t
of any suspicion of exaggeration. Ihe
Carlos Alberto was detailed to assist IN
Marconis experiments in trans-Atlan-
tic wireless telegraphy. Perhaps the
most interesting fact in connection
with it's work is that 1T has established
the practicability of simultaneously
communicating from shipboard with
both sides of the ocean over distances
of at least 5000 miles.
