jAPAN'S NAVAL REVIEW

pmcers of British and American Fight

Day For Nippon-Greatest Sight the
Nation Had Ever Witnessed-Win En-
courage Educational Movement.
Toxic, Japan. - The naval review
passed off without the slightest hitch.
It vas a most impressive sight, not.
however. on account OF the class and
number of the ships, but as a conglom-
GRAFTON Of fighting craft fresh from the
war and crowned with victories of un-
precedented magnitude.
Three hundred and eight warshipS,
including the former Russian battle
ships Peresviet (renamed by the jap
anese the Sagami), Poltava tTango),
Nicolai I. QkD, the ironclads General
Admiral ApraXine (Okinoshima) and
Admiral Seniavin (Minoshima), twelve
auxiliary cruisers, including three cap
tured vessels. twenty-eight torpedo
boat deStroyers. including the captured
Bedovi and Ryeshitelni; seventy-seven
torpedo boats and five submarine
boats were drawn up in six lines.
The Emperor on board the armored
cruiser Asama. led by the protected
cruiser Yaeyama and escorted by the
gunboats TatSuta. Chihaya and Man
shu, passed along the front of the first
line, which was headed by the battle
ship Shikishima, Admiral Togo's flag
ship. When the Nicolai l., which was
at the end of the line. was reached the
cruiser Asama headed due north, and
then in a westerly direction. entering
between the second and third lines,
and afterward resumed her original po-
sition. During this m%aneuvre Admiral
Togo was at the Emperor's side.
The Emperor then received in au-
dience on board the Asama Admiral
Noel and the captains Of the British
and American warships present, the
battleship Wisconsin and the cruiser
Cincinnati.
Popular enthusiasm was aroused to
the highest pitch. Besides the thou
sands who witnessed the naval pa
geant from all sorts Of large and small
vessels in the bay. all the available
points of vantage along the shore were
densely covered with eager spectators.
The spectacle caused much joy and
satisfaction among the Japanese, eS-
pecially in the breasts of those who re-
called that only forty years have
elapsed since at that very spot no war
ships except those Of foreign powers
had ever floated. It is believed that
the review will give q most powerful
stimulus to national education.
At the conclusion of the review the
Emperor returned to Toxic.

RUSSIA'S RAILROAD STRIKE.
Several Lines Tied Up and Movement
Spreads to Factories.

st. Petersburg, Russia.-The railroad
strike situation has now entered on 4
highly serious phase. The movement
is spreading rapidly to all the railroads
of the empire. and apparently cannot
be stopped, while in many cities it is
communicating itself to the mill and
factory employees. The general strike
in all branches of labor which the So
ciaIists planned for the end of this
year is seemingly bursting forth Of it's
own volition.
Minister Of Finance Kokovsof re-
ceived a telegram from the Governing
Committee Of the Moscow .Bourse
which says that a continuation of the
strike for a week longer would force
every factory in the Moscow region to
shut down owing to lack of coal,
whether or not the factory hands took
part in the strike.
The same condition of paralysis
threatens all the trade and industry of
Russia unless the strike is speedily set
tied.
