he said Count Witte is a strong man
and will come to the front again. He Is
very able man. Count White l regard as
the strongest man in Russia today You
know we were enemies; now We are
friends" he added, with smile.
No Opposition in Japan.
Regarding his mission to England, as
ambassador at the court OF ST. James,
Baron Komura was not disposed to speak.
but did not think the recent change Of
government would affect the situation Of
deep friendship which existed at the pres
emit time between the two countries.
Political parties are curious things"
he declared. TN Japan we have parties
just as you have in Canada. There is no
great dividing line between the two. At
the present time Japan is practically
without an opposition. for you will read
lily recognize that after such a war as the
one In which we have recently been en-
gagged the people forget political differ
ences and set to work to build UP the
financial strength of the country and sus-
tain the government In its post-be!lum
policy.

The baron talked at length regarding

Admirer Of the Americans.
The baron is a great admirer Of the
American people. He spoke of the days
when he was a student at Harvard. and
said that when he returned to the United
States some years ago as minister It
washington he looked up as many Of his
old classmates as possible and renewed
old acquaintances. He laughed heartily
when he declared that the chief impress
sion he received on his return to the
United States was that the Americans
were q bald-headed nation.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.


Special Correspondence Of The Star.
OTTAWA, August IA, 1906.
Baron Komura, who is on his way to
England steadfastiy refused to be inter-
viewed in any way while in Canada, but on
the steamer Empress Of Ireland. going from
Quebec to Rimouski. Canadian newspaper
man managed to get an Interesting inter-
view from him. Baron Komura's attention
was drawn to a statement in one of the
American papers to the effect that the door
was open sufficiently wide in Manchuria to
permit Of the other nations looking in to see
Japan doing all the business.
Over the face Of the keen man who made
peace with Russia came quick smile when
the point Of the comment went home In
perfect English and with an inscrutabie
smile lighting up his dark face. he asked:
why shouldn't we do the business? We
are there on the spot. Everybody is well
come to come and get a share With ia
pans situation considered 1t is no wonder
she Is doing the bulk of the trade with
Manchuria. We send all sorts of cotton
goods to Manchurta and in return we Inn
port from that country large quantities of
beans"
High Regard for White.
Baron Komura was smoking the long.
thin cigarettes which come from Russia;
they Of pungent aroma. Every now and
then he would light one. using a match
from q gold box. with a gorgeous mono
gram. Close by stood his valet, who. by the
way, never loses sight OF his distinguished
master.
The question of Russia came up. and the
baron asked IL any later news had come re-
lating to the incipient revolution. When told
that it would seem that the government
had retained the mastery the baron merely
uttered the word Good

Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1906-12-14

cost Boni 100000. The Duke coulo
have given a better one in Russia for
oue-twentieth the sum. A hunting party
for the King of Portugal cost only Sso,-
GOO, for his Majesty is very stout, anu
his activity as a hunter is limited 10
shooting at released trapped BIRDS or
freed deer. The luncheon which FOL
lowed was responsible for so large an
expenditure. No extravaganza was 100
stupendous or too astonishing to be
neglected by Count Boni once he had
conceived the idea for an entertain
ment. His dinner to the King OF For
tugal made him famous. According TO
various reports it ran the Count about
$4,000 in debt.
Another entertainment which was
the talk of "all Paris" was a LITTLE
dance, Louis XVI. style" This cos.
tune ball was very charming, and not
too dear at 100000. A more modest
dance-Louis XIV. s~tyle--cost S1oo,OOO.
Both Of these fetes We're appropriate IL
the palatial setting which the Castel-
lane mansion afforded. One ceiling o.
the palace, that of the Countess's room,
was decorated at an expense of $780,
900, as an evidence OF the Counts graf
itude.
When the Countess lawyer de-
nounced Boni as a monumental spend
thrift" he evidently was we'll inform
ed, for the rapidly with which the
Count showered money-and obliga.
tons for more money-has perhaps
never been equalled.
There Is far more fiction than truth
in the accounts of the royal spend
thrifts of former ages. For instance,
the statement that Caesars supper bills
for four months We're more than tive
millions sterling-or almost $~20,o00,CoO
is probably exaggerated. Some ex-
planatory notes are needed also with
the anecdote of Antony giving his cook
a town Of $4,000 inhabitants. Next
morning, very likely, Antony rsouked
him for failing to take Il joke. But the
case of the Count de Castellane Is one
of those modern instances which, in a
measure, is open to the inspection of
the world.
