OPENING DOORS OF MANoHuRIA
Japan Informs Powers That COnsuls
May soon Proceed to Posts.

WASHINGTON, April 9-The following
statement was given out at the Japanese
legation today:
owing TO the fact that the withdrawal
of the troops from Manchuria not having
sufficiently progressed, the japanese gov
ernment hitherto has neither permitted
citizens and vessels OF foreign countries to
enter the ports and regions of Manchurla
nor allowed foreign consus to proceed TO
their posts therein. Considerable progress
however having now been made in this
respect, the Japanese government has de-
cided in accordance with the principles Of
open door and equal opportunity ever ad-
vocated by them, to permit citizens and
vessels of foreign countries to enter. from
and allow foreign consuls 20 proceed to
their posts al An TunR Hsien. From June
/ foreign consuls shall be allowed to pro-
ceed TO their posts at Mukden and travel
ing OF foreigners in the interior OF Man
churia will be permitted so far as military
exigencles do not prevent IL. 1t has fur
ther been decided that the japanese gov
eTnment will open Darien CTa Lien Wan)
TO the commerce of the world in as near fu-
ture as possible.
Judging from the present condition of the
interior Of Manchuria Il is impossible for
the Japanese authorities TO afford such
foreign travellers adequate protection and
facilities in housing and other matters.
Those, therefore, who enter the interior OF
Manchurla do so entirely at their own risk
and tho Japanese government does not
hold itself responsible for any injury or
damage which they may suffer from ban
dts or other marauders.

A number of old soldiers both of
the "gray" and the "blues" as
sembled at Oakwbod cemetary on
Sunday afternoon June 3rd. and in
connection with the Woodmen,
decorated the graves of many old
Confederates and few of the old
Uuion soldiers whose graves can
be identified
The following original poem. was
recited at the Confederate lot, which
had been beautifully decorated and
under the folds of the Confederate
battle flag. and the stars and stripes
floating side by side, by Miss Irene
Jackson. 1t is hoped to perpetuate
these annual decorations, and that
the lot may be suitably ornament
ed by granite shaft before many
years have passed:
Cover them over with beautiful flowers,
Deck them with garlands. these broth
ers of ours;
Lying SO silently by night and by day,
Sleeping the years of their manhood
away
Years they had marked, for the joys of
the brave,
Years they must waste in the sloth of
the grave,
All the bright laurels, thsy fought to
make bloom
Fell to the earth, when they went TO
the tomb!-
Give them the need they won IN the
past;
Give them the honors, their merits fore
cast;
Give them the chaplets, they won in
the strife;,,
Give them the laurels, they lost with
their life,
Cover them over,-Yes cover them
over,-
Parent and Husband, Brother and
Lover;
Crown in your heart, these dead he
roes of ours,
And cover them over with beautiful
flowers,
Cover the Thousand that sleep far
away.
Sleep where their friends cannot find
them to-day;
They who on mountain, and hillside
and dell,
Rest where they wearied, and lie
where they fell:
Softly the grass blade, droops around
their repose,
Sweetly above them. the wild foweret
blows;
zephyrs of freedom, fly gently over
head,
Whispering names for the gallant
dead.
So in our hearts, we will cover them
once more,
So in our hearts, we will cover them
over;
Roses aud lilies, and violets blue
Boon in our soul, for the brave and
the true.
Cover them over.-Yes, Cover them
over
Parent and husband, brother and
lover
And think of those far away heroes
of ours,
AS we cover these over with beauti-
ful HlOwers

from blue-blooded family, tracing his

1t is stated that the mother OF Frau
lein Krupp and other relatives opposed

ways insisted upon choosing her own
husband, and after, during her short

way.

est in her. She made her debut in Ber-
lin society under the special protec-
ton of the emperor and empress
