and the scene there was attractive and
gay. Headed by the Hawaiian band
the procession moved along Beretania,
street to the Japanese Consulate. where
banzais were given, then along Fort
and Hotel street to the Young Hotel
Here the band played the japanese ma
tional air and the cheering banzafs
were deafening as the Prince appeared
at the window of his apartment. With
him were the Acting Governor and the
/, japanese Consul General, each of
whom lit matches that the cheering
thousands in the street below could
see plainly the features of their prince.

WHO OUR IMPERIAL VISITOR Is.
His Imperial Highness Prince Sadan-
cru Fushimi is not only distinguished
because of long and active military
career but also as the head of a fam
lily that ranks highest among the i'm
perial families of Japan He was born
on April %, 1858, being a son of the
late Prince Kuni-iye. He was married
on October s, 1876, to the Princess To-
shiko, a daughter of the late Prince
Arisugawa Takahito. She is a sister
of the Prince Arisugawa. Prince Flu
shimi's eldest son, the Prince Hiroyasu,
is married to a daughter of Prince
Tokugawa Keiki, the last of the Toku
gawa line of Shoguns. Prince Hiroyasu
is a commander in the navy, and was
wounded while with Admiral Togo on
board the Mikasa in the battle of the
Yellow Sea, on August 10, 1904.
Graduating from the Military School
and obtaining his first commission in
1875, Prince Fushimi steadily worked
his way up through the various stages
of promotion until he attained his pres
ent status of full general in the I'M
perial Army, with the added dignity
and responsibility of being member
of the Supreme Council of War. AS
Major-General he commanded a brigade
in the northern part of Japan in 1892,
and subsequently in the Japan and
China war of 1894-5, when he fought
in the Wei-hai-wei region, as well as In
the Island of Formosa. At the close
of that campaign he was awarded the
Order of the Golden Kite, the decora-
ton most coveted by those who are IN
the military and naval services of Jap |
an. The Prince was promoted in 1893
to be Lieutenant-GeneraIa and became |
commander of the Tenth Division sta |
toned at Himeji in Southwest Japan, |
and later of the First Division. at |
Toxic. In this position he went to the |
front during the war with Russia,
his division forming part of the Sec
ond Army, and he was engaged in the |
severe struggle at Nan-Shan and at
forwards with the Third Army in the /
attack on Port Arthur. It need hardly |
be said that he was exposed equally /
with his officers and men to the risks /
which were attendant upon all these I
engagements in a critical stage of the |
campaign.
AS in war. so also in peace. the
Prince has rendered the Emperor i'm
portant service. He represented His
Majesty at the Coronation Of the Car
of Russia in 1896, and was specially
despatched by the Emperor to the In
ternational Exposition held in st. Louis
in 1904.
