EMPEROR Of JAPAN IS

Toxic. Nov. 3.-Mutsu-hito, Emper-
or of Japan, is today Sc years Of age
and all Nippon is in a ferment OF en-
thusiastic patriotism. In Toxic, Yoko-
hama and all the smaller cities of the
emperor great celebrations are in pro-
gress. The annual review of troops
by the emperor, which always marks
the anniversary of the birth of the
ruler of Japan, was more gorgeous
and magnificent than ever before and
was witnessed by thousands of Ameri
cans and Europeans.
The recent visit of the American
fleet has brought about a new era of
good feeling toward Americans and
all things savoring of Yankeedom, and
the government officials are showing
especial attention to visitors from the
United States. This feeling also ex-
tends to the populace. Americans are
treated with the greatest considera-
ton by tradesmen and others and even
the little children in the streets sa
laam humbly whenever an American
appears. Many English and European
tourists call themselves Americans in
order to share in this hospitality.
