The chapter on Ancestor Worship" is
by Prof. Hozumi of the University Of Toxic.
who is also a barristcr at law Of the Middle
Temple. He begins by dwelling on the
striking fact that while in Europe and
America ancestor worship has long ceased
to exist, il it was ever praotised, the re-
verse is true Of Japan. In the island realm
OF the Oricnt-where at the present time
a constitutional government is established;
where codes Of laws modelled upon those Of
Western countries are in force; where al
most every art of civilization has taken
firm root-the worship Of deceased an
cestors still obtains, and exercises a power
full influence over the sentiments and GUS
toms of the people. The practice dates
back to the earliest days and has survived
through scores Of generations in spite OF
the many political and social revolutions
which have taken place since the founds-
ton OF the empire The introduction OF
Chinese civilization into the country was
favorable to the growth Of this custom, by
reason of the fact that the morality, the
laws and the institutions Of China are also
based upon the doctrines of ancestor wor-
ship. Buddhism, which is not based upon
this doctrine, but is, on the contrary, an
JaROUlEUlC 10 II, was COIuDelt>u W yJtu W
the deep rooted belief OF the people and
adapt itself to the national practice. Even
the introduction Of Western civilization,
which has brought 30 many social and
political changes during the last thirty
years, has had no influence whatever in
the direction of modifying the custom.
Ancestor worship, which was the primeval
religion OF Japan, is universally practised
by the people at the present moment.
There are three kinds OF ancestor worship
in vogue: the worship by all the people
OF the First Imperial Ancestor, personined
in the Mkado; the worship OF the patron
god OF the locality. which Is survival OF
the worship OF clan ancestors by olansmen:
and the worship OF the ancestors Of par
ticular family by the members OF house,
hold. OF these three kinds Of ancestor
worship, the first may be styled the national
cult. The places set apart for the worship
Of the First Imperial Ancestor arc three
In number: the Temple Of Daijingu at Iee,
the Kashikodokoro In the sanctuary OF
the Imperial Palace, and the Kamidafla
or god shelf, which is TO be found In every
house. In the two first named places the
Divine Mirror" represents the Imperial
Ancestor. This Is the mirror which, 40
oorGing to old histories, Amsterasu Omi-
Kami gave to AMEND Oshiomino Mikoto.
accompanied by the injunction that her
descendants should look upon that mirror
as representing her soul, and worship 1t as
herself. The Divine Mirror was worshipped
In the imperial household down to the sixth
year Of the reign OF, Sujin (B. G. e2). when
the Emperor. fearing that familiarity with
1t might engender disrespeot, ordered .

JAPANESE WIL[
"BANZAI' CONSULS

The Japanese of Honolulu will 'cele
brate the fall of Port Arthur when it
occurs, with a lantern procession and
calls on the Acting Governor and on
several of the consuls in Honolulu. The
capture of Russia's great fortress is a
great event which has been anticipated
for some time, and now that it is near
Japanese are full of expectancy.
On the evening after news of the cap
ture of the city, Japanese are to assem-
BILE, all in western clothes,-no kimonos
allowed,-for a procession. They will
call at the Japanese consulate and give
a "Banzai" in honor of their nations
great victory. Then they will march to
Acting Governor Atkinson and Ban
Zai' again. The British consul will next
be called upon, and then the consul for
China, Japan's neighbor nation, and
"Banzar' will be the cry at both places.

DELEGATES OFF
FOR THE FRAY
INTERRUPTED DEPART TODAY BY
SIERRA TO GO TO ST, LOUIS AND
NOMINATE A CANDIDATE.

Curtis p. Gaukea, j. l.. Coke and T.
b. Lyons, delegates to the Democratic
National convention, are departing pas
sengers today by the S. 5. Sierra for
the Mainland The trio will arrive in
San Francisco June p and on the fol-
lowing day, leave for St Louis with the
California delegation in the special
train that IS to be ready for the Cali
forna and Hawaii delegations. Dr. W.
5. Noblitt the remaining delegate to
the convention from Hawaii will be
unable to get away today with the other
delegates. but he will take passage by
the $. S. Korea next Friday and arrive
in st. Louis in time to attend the open
ing of the convention
J. G. EastOn one of the delegates from
the island of Hawaii is already on the
! mainland as is former Justice c. a.
! Galbraith, one of the alternates from
the island of oahu. Justice Galbraith
| will attend the convention by virtue OF
holding the proxy of Senator Palmer 2.
! Woods who will be unable to attend the
convention No other alternate VIII
| attend the convention
The local Democrats will give their
Departing delegates a rousing send off
today at the steamer. The Territorial
band will I've in attendance and play
in honor Of the departing delegates.
Thu banner which was used at the Kan
sas City convention. is to be taken by
the delegation. The badges will oe
ordered today by cable and be ready IN
San Francisco when the delegation ar
rives.
The Democrats Will not be able to
enjoy life in San Francisco the way the
Republican delegates did this month.
The Democratic delegates will be in
San Francisco only one day, so they
will not have much opportunity of be-
ing entertained by friends in that city.
1t is expected that the trip across the
continent to st. Louis, will be very en-
ioyable. The delegates will be absent
about month and perhaps longer.
No selection of chairman has as yet
been made The general sentiment is
in favor of Col Iaukea being selected
to that pc sitiOn. He was instrumental
in working up the Democratic organi-
Zation and was permanent chairman
at the recent convention, and rs he
was the most prominent figure in the
convention it is urged that the COM
pliment should be given him. There
is little doubt but he will he selected as
chairman.
1t has been suggested by some UNI
kind Republicans that the delegation
might add to its tone by hiring tn,
"Nachur- Man to join forces. He might
be permitted to carry the banner fOl
the delegates. He would certainly MAKE
quite an effective pose as Excelsior
His leaky whiskers might also serve az
a good vote getter in the Populist sec
lions of the country. The "Nachul%
Man" should be added to the delegation
by all means.
