LONDON, May 27.-London Is fast filing
up with Americans. They are arriving by
houses and keeping the motor cars busy
from morning until night. From the con-
tinent just at present there is almost as
much travel as there is from America. The
two streams, in fact are meeting just now.
The wealthy half European American who
has been spending the winter on the
shores of the Mediterranean is homeward
bound. The often Weather American
who has no time for idling in the winter
is rushing over to take few weeks rest
and recreation in different parts of Great
Britain.
Many of the Weather visitors are bring
ing their motor cars with them. Many
millionaireS, by the way, now keep car
or two on this side of the Atlantic all tho
year around. Whether wealthy not, the
visiting American does not feel that he
has seen England unless he has taken a
run down to Shakcspeare's country or into
levOnshire in automobile.

Public Interest Over Controversy.

Mrs. D'Oyly Carte says that she has been
fairly inundated with letters and kilograms
from the public expressing their indgna-
ton and disappointment at the prospect of
THE MikadO" being lost to them. Mr.
Henry Arthur James being interviewed,
said:

Banning 1.-The Mikado."

The question of the powers possessed by
the lord chamberlain raised by his re-
markahle action in banning The Mikado,"
Is still arOusing widespread discussion and
comment, especially now that cable dis
patches say that the production has been
revived at the West End Theater in New
York city and in other parts of the world.
Influential japanese in London declare
emphaucally that no representation of any
Kind whatsoever has been made on be-
half of Japan which can have led to the
extraordinary attitude taken up by the
authorities. Among those interviewed may
be mentioned Mr.. X. Sugimura the dis
tlnSuIshed special correspondent of the
Toxic Asahi, one of the leading japanese
newspapers. Among other things he said !:
The only part of the play to which OBJ
lection might be taken by some is the pre-
sentatlon of the mkado on the stage as a
comic character. This would be impos-
sible in Japan, where my countrymen re-
gard the person of the emperor az too high
for such treatment. Yet even with US one
OF our most famous novelists, Saikaka of
the Genroku period did treat the figure of
the emperor humOrOusly, describing one
of his characters as the emperor doll. The
novel is still circulating in Japan. 1t has
not been prohibited there.

No Particular Makado Noted.

I'VE recognize that in this English play
II is not any particular Mikado represented
and that the emperor is not shown as
cruel and frivolous monarch. l am not
among those who put art before morals
but / do not think it justifable to sup
press the opera for such a trivial reason
Besides the mikado in this play is not a
certain Emperor of Japan of a certain
period. He is neither historical nor mod
ern, but purely an ina ginary creature. If
the name 'Mkado' were to offend some
mot sane Japanese) let it be charged to,
'Otono.' Shotgun, or any other one pleases.
Then there could be no possible cause of
Offense TO anybody.

CLASSICAL MUSIC.

The Kol Nidrei, one of the selec-
tions to be presented by Mr.. Buchly
at his recital on Wednesday night, at
the Young, is the old Jewish prayer
for the intereession that has been used
at the Annual Day of Atonement SER
vices for over thousand years. 1t
has been arranged and adapted for the
violin by Max Bruch, one of the famous
German violin composers. The Hun
garian dance by Brahms is the one so
often played by Musin. The Corelli
Sonata is a type of the early Italian
music, say about 1870, and is much on
the same style as Bach with fugues
and the different voices. As whole
the program for this recital is one
of the best that has been presented
for long time and the advance sale
indicates large and fashionable audi
ence.

SENATOR WILLIAMS
ON SCENIC HAWAII

Mr.. c. M. Williams, ex-member of

largely in the mines and varied inter-
ests of the gold regions around Gold

Royal Hawaiian hotel Mr.. williams

and one of the oldest citizens of Neva-
da. He went to Nevada in 1866 with
Governor Bradley from California
where he had arrived seven years ear
lier, and since then has been actively
identified with everything pertainin~ to
the commercial and political progress
of the State.
Mr.. Williams intends to stay here at
least month longer, and is so de-
lighted with what he has seen during
his weeks stay that he declares that
next winter will find him again en-
route for Honolulu. The people of Ho-
nolulu, SO far as he has met them, he
says. are the most genial, kind-hearted
and hospitable people he has ever seen,
and for scenic beauty he does not be-

He has just returned from Hawaii,
where he spent four or five days visit
ing the volcano of Kilauea, and other
points of interest. On MokuaweoWeo

jets of lava, across the lake, and the
occasional explosion that would lift

B. J. Chapman, Jr., a member of Mrs.

was hurled from his feet by the first
shock and sought refuge in nearby

natives and English residents had con-
gregated. He graphically described
the effect of the earthquake, upon the
natives especially.

beam about so yards away. I suppose
she must have tried to escape from a
house and had been pinned down by
the beam before she could do so.
THE air was filled with a great rum
bling, roaring sound, while clouds of
dust arose and choked one. Men, wo-
men and children were fleeing hither
and thither, but in the general panic
the poor woman was overlooked.
suddenly through the dust there
moved quickly a Catholic priest. He
saw the predicament of the woman IN
a moment and was soon at her side.
The beam was heavy and the priest
must have known as he exerted his
strength TO move it that in doing so
the shattered wall above him might at
any time come tumbling down upon
him. But he pulled and tugged until
he got the beam off the woman, and
then he leaped aside with her in his
arms just in time to escape the falling
wall. He carried her upon the hotel
yeranda and there laid her down, rip
ping off his cassock to make a pillow
for her head. 1t was plain that the
woman was dying. Her back had been
broken. l sat there as though gripped
by some indescribab bic fear while the

me, but sure enough they found her
