She and her uncle were very great friends
and her grief since his death has been very
great. Beside her walked Mr. ID. Kudo. a
near relative, while the dead officers faith
er and mother and other members of his
family rode in carriages behind Then
came another guard of honor and the pro-
cession ended with several thousand Of
ficials and citizens on foot. Among the
officers we're Vice Admiral Baron Yama-
motto, minister of the navy; Admiral Ito,
chief Of the naval board of command;
Quartermaster General Murakami, and a
score of other high army and navy officers.
At the temple where the last rites were
said by the white ROBBED Shinto priests,
practically all OF the diplmatic corps and
the foreign naval and military attaches
were gathered, as well as more than hun
dred of the principal officials of the mika

ages from Admiral Togo and from the EN-,
peror were also read
Everyone in Toxic is commenting on the
fact that the Russians, when Commander
Hirosc's body was picked up in the bay,
gave it military funeral at Port Arthur
Arrangements have already been made to
remove the body to japanese soil when the
war is over, or when Port Arthur is cap
tured, and a monument, paid for by popu-
lar subscription. will be erected to the
memory Of the dead hero.
Commander IIirose seemed to have pre-
monition of his death before he left for the
war. He put all his affairs in the best
possible shape and wrote farewell letters
to his friends. His last letter to his woth-
err, written only few days before he was
killed, states that he is ready to lay down
his life If the emperor needs it, and says
an affectionate farewell to his family.
The Identification Of the body which was
headless, when it was found at Port Ar
thur, reveals a very pretty romance in the

REPUBLICANS
IN ILLINOIS

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, May l2-The Ill
inois Republican convention in session here
today is the largest ever held in this
state. There are plenty of indications
that it will also be one of the liveliest. In
addition to choosing delegates at large and
alternates to the national convention the
convention this year is called upon to
nominate candidates for governor and other
state officers to be voted for this fall. The
selection of delegates to the Chicago con-
vention and the Endorsement of President
Roosevelt will be little more than formal
NY. All interest centers in the nomina
tons for state offices. The city is alive to-
day with candidates for the nominations
Their friends are also here in force.
For months the race for the guberna-
torial nomination has been on in lively
earnest and increasing in intensity as the
convention date approached Governor
Yates early announced his candidacy for
denomination. Backed by the state ma
chine he has stumped the state from
Cairo to Chicago and has left nothing I'M
done that would add to his strength. The

TOXIC, May ll.-Japan has new hero.
His name is household word and for gen
erations to come he will be held up to the
young as an example for what man should
be-
This hero is Commander Hirose. who
lost his life during the attempt to blockade
the entrance to Port Arthur harbor. A
small fragment of his body, all that the
japanese were able to recover when he was
killed, was buried here today, with all the
pomp and circumstance of state funeral.
Fully 900 lined the streets over which
the cortege passed on its way from the
Naval club to the grave at Aoyma GENE
terry. Every head was uncovered when the
little casket resting on a gun carriage pass

genuine grief.
The procession was not long one. 1t

to make the race.
1t is expected that other names may
float in from different parts of the state,
but aspirants have tendency to wait for
the outcome of the Republican convention
before setting up plans for this fall.
1t is persistently rumored that ex-Sen.

FIENDISH TORTURE
OF MEDICINE WOMAN

Los ANGELES, Cal, May l2.-With
the finding of the body of Neophrata, the
Weitspekan medicine woman, in lonely
canyon fifty miles north of this city, and
more than 300 miles from her native vii
lage, ends a most interesting story, the
first chapter of which had its beginning
two years ago.
A practice in vogue with several Cali
fornia tribes is the Staying of the medicine
man when he shall have lost a third pa
tient. 1t has been the case, heretofore
that when such elimination of affairs has
come about the condemned person has de
livered himself to the proper authorities
in the tribe and his death has been sure
and speedy.
When Neophrata lost her third patient,
two years ago, she determined to cling to
life, and she disappeared from the village
The finding of her body disclosed the fact
that though absent she was not forgotten,

ABANDON TOWNSHIP At FORTY-MILE

DAWSON, Y. T., May l2-The food at
Forty-Mile has subsidized, but the town
site is still covered with drift and with
thousands of tons of ice, most of it at
least ten feet thick. The food has been
the worst in the history of the place, as
the river rose fourteen feet in 20 min
utes and caught many people slumbering
in the middle of the night. These were
rescued with boats, being taken from
housetops and the tops of trees where
they sought refuge. 1t was necessary for
all of these to sleep in the hills. Many
Of the rescuing gangs worked all night in
the water.
1t is probable that the TOWNSHIP will
have to be abandoned, as the damages
are too great to repair, and the floods
are of such frequent occurrence as to make

tician and former speaker of the Illinois
assembly; Colonel Vespasian Warner, who
has served many years in congress and has
the united support of the cold soldier"
vote, and Charles S. Deneen, who has long
been prominent in Cook county politics.
On the day of the convention the chances
appear to the unbiased observer to favor
the denomination of Governor Yates. But
Illinois politics has furnished many sur
prises in the past and no one can say with
certainly that today's balloting will not
add another to the list.

he might make the race il sufficiently

In the event of ex-senator Turner COM
ing out for governor it is expected that

tons point to DIR. Byrne's candidacy being
pushed.

candidates on the Sound For many years
he has been a party leader in this county.
