Commodore Perry's Record.

Many consider Commodore Matthew
Calbraith Perry to have been a great
er naval man than his more famous
brother, Commodore Oliver Perry. In
fact, the two are often confused. Be-
sides opening up Japan to American
trade and to western civilization, he
was the greatest naval educator of his
time. His life may be briefly summed
up as follows:
while yet lad he was naval
officer in the war of 1912.
2-He chose the location of the first
free black settlement in Liberia.
3-He was the father of the steam
navy.
4-He first demonstrated the eff
cheney of the ram as a weapon Of Of
fence in naval warfare.
5-He founded the naval apprentice
ship system.
6-He was leader of the campaign
to extirpate the foreign slave trade en-
the coast Of Africa.
He commanded in 1S47 the
largest squadron which had ever S$-
sembled under the American flag.
This was in the gulf of Mexico
8-He opened Japan to the world.
The Perry family furnished more ma
val officers to the United States thar
any other American family, with one
exception. The sturdy commander Of
the Saratoga was survived by three
daughters, one of whom became the
wife of August Belmont, the multi
millionaire of New York.

Of three months, caught the Cuban
Itch. Sores broke out from his head

itch and claw himself and cry all the

treat him, but he seemed to get worse.
He suffered so terribly that my hus-
band said he believed he would have

day | commenced to use the Cuticura

and at every place / stopped l was

pressiveness that it had been analysed

canoes? With wind blowing in their
teeth and sails furled, the monsters
curled the white foam at their front,
while their black threats vomited
sparks and smoke. To the gazers at a
distance, as they looked from their
village on the hilltops, the whole
scene seemed mirage created by the
breath of CLAIMS. Such, their child
hoods beliefs taught them, must be
the case.
Boats dashed here and there about
the harbor, like a flock of frightened
gulls. They fed. Then paused, to see
how far behind the strange visions
were now. Surely they were doomed,
for there closer and closer plowed the
great ships, and no sail caught the
wind to propel them.
In Yeddo there was terror worse
than death. Her 100000 souls knew
the fear of supernatural things. With
alarmed faces the people thronged to
the shrines to pray. They hastily
packed their valuables to send off to
the houses of distant friends, or to
y
sands of homes were emptied of their
contents and of the sick and aged.
All who could left to go to dwell with
their relatives in the interior.
Couriers on horseback had first
brought details of the calamity by
land. Junks and scull boats from
Uraga arrived hourly at Shinagawa,
and foot-runners bearing dispatches
painted in the government Offices.
Commodore Perry had prepared
carefully for this visit He had read
much about Japan; he knew what its
resources were, so far as they were
known at all, by foreigners; he knew
their quaint customs and the value
they set upon ceremony. Therefore
he was determined to Chesterfield
the Japanese themselves.

"The imperial commissioners were
much impressed. They had never
seen black men before except in their
stage plays. when actors used burnt
cork. Therefore, they estimated that
this admiral as they knew him, must
be a man of supreme power. Prince
Iwami handed to the interpreters a
formal receipt for the documents.
1.-The commodore announced that he
would return in the spring for his re-
ply. After further brief conversation
the conference closed, having lasted
not more than 20 minutes. 1t had been
witnessed by not more than so or gu
persons of both the countries engaged.
Yet that short meeting was to lead to
the opening of Japan"
The actual landing took place on
July IA, 1853, and is commemorated
by single shaft of granite rising 33
feet into the air, placed on the spot
where Perry landed from his ships.
This monument was erected in 1901.
The treaty was not concluded and
signed until March of 1854, when Per-
~ returned with greatly increased
fleet to get his answer At first the
Japanese held out that no American
women should be brought to Japan.
Commodore Perry informed them that
if such clause were put in he would
be afraid to return to America. There
after all was good humor, the clause
was stricken out and the treaty of
commerce was signed, throwing open
the ports of Shimoda and Hakodate.

equipment, we mustered GIL guns and
977 officers and men-quite respect
able force for those times.
Such warHke apparition in the
bay, small as it was, created a tre-
mendous sensation. A Japanese writer
said of our arrival: "The popular COM

this confusion in city of more than

had frightened the empire so badly,
as the capital was 40 or so miles away
from our anchorage. AS we proceed
ed up the harbor, boats fed away from
us as though in mortal fear.
by the time we were well anchored
and shipshape the city officials took
heart. Swarms of picturesque man
darins came off to challenge the
strange arrivals and to draw around
the fleet the customary Gordon OF
guard boats. They even tried to make
fast their boats to our ships.
This began to look like being in
custody. The American ambassador
had not come to Japan to be put under
sentries. He notified the mandarins
that his vessels were not pirates and
need not be watched. They pleaded
Japanese law. He replied with Ameri-
can law. They still insisted. He mott
fled them that if the boats were not
instantly withdrawn he would open
his batteries and sink them. That was
entirely convincing. The guard boats

Exit the Saratoga!
1t is still a name to conjure with in
far Japan. And in American history
the stanch old sea fighter will be insep-
arably linked with Commodore Mat

trip to what was then a land of mys-
