often spoken of as Little Ito" Though
past sixty he is scarcely ut all gray.
Yuko Ito is the ranking admiral OF
the mikado's navy and, ut least till tho
time that Togo won his Port Arthur
victory, was the chief naval hero of
Japan. In the eyes of those who know.
his supreme part in the present war he
is StiI so. He long foreSaw the strug-
gle with Russia and laid his plans ac-
cOrdingly. Japan's state of prepared
ness for the present contest, that has
resulted in giving her supremacy OF
the eastern seas, was largely due TO
Ito's untirinG work.
The battle of the Yalu Of 1894, in
which Ito was in chief command. was
the first great naval clash between
modern ironclads and for that reason
made the name OF the Japanese victor
famous around the world. Tie JapS
had twelve vessels engaged, while the
Chinese had fourteen warShips and six.
torpedo boats. Despite this Disparity
In numbers, Ito won n complete vic
tory and practically destroyed the ma

flagship, the Matsushima. was in the
thick of the fight and sustained severe
injuries, 50 much 50 that the Tag had

the fight. -Four OF the Chinese vessels
were sunk and others injured. the rest
escaping In the darkness of the night.
The Chinese then regarded Port Ar
thur as impregnable, as the russians
have regarded it since In spite Of this
conceit Admiral Ito boldly sailed into
the harbor, finished smashing the Chi
nese fleet and took the town. He was
also in command at Weihaiwei. where.
another small Chinese fleet had gath
cred, which he defeated without lOsingi
a man. He then reduced the forts and
with the land forces took the strong
hold.

where there are known preiudices
which are not Individual. but collective.
1t is a dangerous experiment for "a

local illusions. 1t has sometimes hap
pened that a spellbinder has repeated

on the previous evening by q brother
orator.
Some audiences are demonstrative.
and others can be moved with nothing
less potent than dynamite The same
speech will be to one audience pueriIe
and to another too abstruse for COM
prehension. There is also the constant
danger that a speIlbinder will be thrown
off the track by the interpolated re-
marks of some one of his listeners. This
happens frequently in meetings which
are being addressed in some foreign
language. In the great cities there are
several hundred of these political Won
der workers, who are recruited from
the army OF legal practitioners. news
paper men. college undergraduates
seeking experience in public speaking
and even settlement workers who see
an opportunity to further their inhu-
enCe. That it requires executive abil-
ity of the very highest order to make
the system of SpeIlbinding i success
may be realized when one is brought
face to face with the fact that in the
city of New York on every weekday
evening previous to the coming cleo
tion more than a thousand political ad-
dresses are being delivered.

have been born of emergencies and
have promptly been permitted TO en-

genesis and fits the character TO which
it is applied as a scahbard fits the blade
1t was James q. Blaine who invented
the word, and it should be reckoned
among the many noteworthy achieve

was a veritable wizard in the art Of
phrase making. and he should be ac-
credited with the new creation and be
made the patron saint of all spell

Present day spellbinding is not con-
Quoted precisely as it once was. 1t has
been modified to suit the changed CON
ditions of the times and to conform to
the modern ways of thinking. In that
direction it has followed close upon lit
crature, which has its fashions and
limitations. The relation between lit
erature and oratory-even campaign
Oratory-is close. In the days when the
fustian and high sounding platitudes of
the Waverley and LeatherStocking
school seemed real to US our political
sympathies could be aroused only by
pompous quotations from the classics
and the lofty buncombe of the Clay
Calhoun period. Today the audience at
