Generals and the Flowers.

When Gen. Nodzu, the last of the
four chief generals of Japan to return
to Tokyo after the war, was welcomed
to the capital recently, poetic writer
likened Kuroki, Oku, Nogi and Nod
zu to the -four flower symbols" used
by classical Japanese artists-the
plum blossom, orchid, chrysanthemum
and bamboo. Gen. Kiroki, who won
the first victory of the war, is COM
flower, that puts forth it's petals ear
liest in the year, even against winters
frost and snow. The writer carries
the simile so far as to allude also to
the sour-sweet fruit, which is noted
for it's healthy acid qualities; the gen
eral is likened to it because his early
successes served to inspire the men
of the other armies with courage and
confidence, and stir them up in a
spirit of emulation.
Gen Oku, leader of the second army,
is likened to the orchid. He is de-
clared to be brilliant in his moya-
ments, having particularly to his cred

bears his honors with the modesty
of an orchid, that fills sequestered
glen with its fragrance. AS to the
hero of Port Arthur, Gen. Nogi, no
floral emblem can be so fitting as
the chrysanthemum, uplifting its CO.
rolla against the frosty air of the au-
tumn. AS the flower undergoes a
whole years careful culture, through
the cold of winter and the heat of
summer, so had the, stout heart of the
general borne all the vicissitudes OF
the campaign; and, above all, the in
consolable sorrow of losing his two
sons. In the end he appears as glo-
rious as the imperial flower.
Gen. Nodzu, the writer says, can
be likened to the sturdy bamboo. His
bravery has been tested and proved
undaunted in all the wars of the Meiji
era, and has shown at its best in the
face of ill-fortune; just as the endur-
ing, unbreakable bamboo, under the
| weight of the heaviest snow, still re-
mains evergreen, fresh, hardy and
vigorous, to bear up through every
thing.

Young, father of Walter G. Young,
who with his wife and child had NOV

day before the disaster and took rooms
on the fifth floor of the Vance House
on Taylor street. Mr.. Young says the
building swayed and tottered but did
not collapse. They all escaped and
went to Alameda and shortly after
set out for Chicago. He says the re-
ported loss of lives is exaggerated but
not that of property. He travels for q

AMERICAN FRUIT FRAUDS.

Shipments to Christsnnia Found to
He Not ~ Represented.
American apples arriving in Chris
tiania, it is stated, are, as q rule, pack
ed in barrels holding from 14O to 100
pounds, says the New York Herald.
Some Of the fruit is shipped from Eng
land, Denmark and Germany, while a
portion comes direct by the Scandina-
vian-American line steamers from New
York, Boston or Philadelphia. The i'm
port duty on apples is II GRE, equallng
SO cents per kilogram, or about $2.2o
per barrel. American apples are in
high favor with the people, and If the
trade is judiciously handled there is
reason to believe it can be further in
creased. But the apples received ut
Christlania last season we're, as re-
CARDS several shipments, OF very poor
quality.
The principal importers have joined
in making a formal protest, claiming
that NEST Of the fruit received by them
is very poor, the barrels hlving a layer
or two of fine fruit on top and bot
tom, but filled in between with fruit
of nearly unstable quality. Unless
these methods can he stopped the
American fruit trade with this coun-
try will, in all probability, be serious
ly injured.
Apples are also brought from Can
ada, Germany. Spain and some other
countries. This fruit IS generally pack
ed in shallow boxes and in baskets.
This mode Of packing has many advan-
tages over barrels. Considering the
fact that American apples by the time
they reach the Norwegian consumer are
very expensive, it would seem best If
CaIy choice fruit were exported. The

duty, Is no more on q barrel Of the
