Tokyo. March Awhile the japanese
stage has not responded to the influence
Of modern civilization as promptly as the
newspapers and the schools. a leaning
toward Western dramatic ideals IS begin
ming to show itself Tokyo audiences
have wept over the woes OF Camille. and
Uncle Toms Cabin" has made its ap-
peal to Oriental sympathy. An elaborate
production of the Merchant Of Venice. .

in the japanese tongue at one of the the
aters IN Yokohama. The "Old Home
stead" as played al a Tokyo park. would
doubtless give Mr.. Denman Thompson
a great shock If that venerable actor
could see the Eastern version OF his great
play
The introduction of modern ideas has
divided the Japanese stage into two
schools, one Of which clings to the old
classical style of play and manner OF
production; the other striking out inde-
pendently for the adoption of up-to-date
methods. The task OF elevating the stage
in the East is no small undertaking be-
cause OF the low standing of the actors.
While the best classes in Japan patronize
the theateT, the men in the profession
have heretofore been rated SO low socially
that they are regarded as little better
than outlaws Prior to the restoration
there were only three licensed theaters
in Tokyo. Only two men have ever risen
high enough In the profession TO have
the honor OF playing before the imperial
family.
These were Danjuro. the greatest dra-
matte genius japan has produced, and
his gifted pupil. Kikugoro. both OF whom
are dead. II is only recently that women
were allowed TO appear on the stage in
this country. two daughters OF the great
DanjuTO being among the first TO enter
the lists. 1t Is hoped that these young
ladies have inherited enough Of their
distinguished fathers genius 10 keep
alive the luster OF his fame. While Japan
has no histrionic stars at the present time
who can measure up TO the standards OF
DsnjuTo and Kikugoro, there are some
promising aspirants in the new school,
particularly Kawakami and Sada Yacco,
who have played IN Europe and the
United States.

The imagination of the miser was so po-

He is the son OF an Englshman who
started the first newspaper In Japan. His

perfect. his dress so accurate. and his
manner so natural that few of his hearers
ssuspect that he Is foreigner.
The japanese people are so fond of the

the news 10 Mr. Sherman that he had
been nominated for the vice prssi-
1ency. Mr.. Sherman Immediately

In the street he held reception FAX.
ers surrounded him. with Sherman
badges and Sherman buttons TO sell
to the crowd who came to take a look
at the Republican nominee to succeed
Mr. Fairbanks.
When the New York delegation. full
of enthusiasm. found Mr.. Sherman
he was still In the street They got
q hack and a brass band and gave
him a rousing time.
Ii has been learned that Sherman
was a Democrat until about 1876,
when. after going as a delegate from
Oneida county TO a Democratic state
convention. he renounced Democracy
and embraced the tenets of Republi.
canism.
All OF his brothers are Democrats,
and one brother. Richard W. Sherman
concluded a second term as mayor of
Utica last January. Richard w. Sher-
man is one OF the Democratic leaders
of Utica, while his brother, Rep. Jas

BRYAN TO FIGHT

IN south
NEeRAskAN's OPPONENTS IN
GEORGIA WOULD HAVE UNiN-
STRUGGLED DELEGATION SENT
TO pENvER-FAcTloNs LINE UP

ATLANTA. Ca, June 20.-With
the Democratic state convention In
this city. next week, will come VIM.
J. Bryan's hardest fight TO retain his
power in the south. The state OF
Georgia has always been looked upon
as the sponsor for the Nebraskan, its
delegation placing hi min nomination
for the presidency in 1896.
On Tuesday the Democratic state
convention will be held. Already both
sides in the Bryan and Johnson fac
lions are lined up. with their respec-
tive agents making claims for victory.
The Democratic leaders in Georgia
entertain fond hopes of converting
Georgia into the empire state OF the
south, claiming that it's democracy is
free and untrammeled. The anti
Bryan forces are fighting hard that an
uninstructed delegation might be sent
TO Denver. This is their strongest
hope in their fight upon Organism.
However, friends of Mr.. Bryan con-
tend that this hope is not a sign of
antagonism, at all. but simply the
spirit of independence in the hearts
of Georgia Democrats.

United States continuity of policy re-
garding not only domestic affairs, but
also In the field of Americas rela-
tons with other powers.

ICES Secretary Taft as man of conf
promises; the National Zeitung, Ma
tional Liberal. urges the secretary. II
elected. to push the matter OF tariff
revision, while the Vossische eitung.
Radical. says the Republican platform
is an abstract OF President Roosevelt's
messages and speeches. and that Mr..
Taft may be expected, II he wins the
election, to carry through the task Of
tariff revision. This paper says that
nothing like the abandonment OF the
American protective system can be
looked for.
PARIS, June 20.-The nomination
OF Secretary of War Taft for the pres
idency has been regarded by the
French press as foregone conclu-
sion. The Petite Republique consid-
ers Mr. Taft's nomination a victory
for the spirit of imperialism. The
great democracy" the paper says,
after avoiding this spirit for so long,
ends by ceding TO it and 1t is a bad
symptom"
The Temps says the services rend-
cred by Mr. Taft TO his country fully
Justify his nomination.
LONDON, June 20--Most OF the
newspapers and the weeklies print
editorials on President Roosevelt's
triumph in securing the nomination
of Secretary of War Taft for the pres
idency. The Daily Chronicle says:
ITO save the life OF his policy, he
loses his life as president 1t is en-
interesting phenomenon on the work
