not doubting it could get all the money it needed. Then a loan was proposed for the Manchurian railroads. To the surprise of the government it was only half taken. There seemed to be but little demand for those bonds in Lon don or New York and the officials were at a loss what to do. In the meantime the representatives of the large bank ing institutions of Paris, Lopdon and 4.ew York had come here to Tokio tc investigate matters for themselves They were not satisfied with figure and estimates alone. They wanted te look at the books and to know just what the resources of the government were and whether it could, beyond doubt, met all it's obligations when they became due. They wanted to know whether 1t was advisable for them to invest in new bonds and Hike the man from Missouri" they had to be shown.
 It was in connection with tn cir re- port that Japan found difficulty in plac- ing further loans and on this account the financiers who represent the live, up-to- date banking and industrial in- terests of today have taken a hand with the government in putting Japan on a solid financial basis. This pol icy has already been inaugurated and through the advice of such men as the Mitsuis it will be carried out to a successful conclusion.
 In a Big Japanese Bank.
 No one can go through the big bank ing institutions or Tokio without be- ing assured of the material prosperity and the great resources of this coun- try The building of the Mitsui Bus sani Kaisha is surrounded by struc- lures which would not seem out of place in New York or Chicago. The Bank of Japan, an enormous build ing of gray granite, is just over the way The Yokohama Specie bank is next door and all about are other large modern buildings. The Mitsui build ing is of four stories. built around the three sides of a court, covering more than an acre. It is of red brick and white stone and it's interior is fur nish ed like one of the best office build ings of the United States.
 There are wide halls, big rooms. many

THE MITSUI MILLIONS
By FRANK G. CARPENTER.

the other bankers and capitalists of note, such as Matsuo. governor of the Bank of Japan; fakahashi of the Yokohama Specie bank and Baron Shibusawa that the new policy of retrenchment, economy and reform is now being introduced. Un- til within a few months the country has been managed by a class of men who knew but little of modern business meth ods The leading officials were apt to look down on trade and consider them selves as rather superior to those who were engaged in it. This was especially so up to the time of the war between Russia and Japan Then the country needed a great deal of money, and it had to go abroad to borrow it. It had not done much as to the placing of enormous loans, and it called in the fnancers among the business men to advise it how to proceed. Through their counsel the loans were negotiated which supplied 9 large part of the funds for the war.
 Agents were sent to Paris. London and New York and there was little trouble in the disposal of the bonds. As the war continued other loans were negotiated and up to the time of its close there seemed to be no financial trouble in sight. The business men were now less regarded and the gov ernment went on with it's expenditures

POOR RoJEsTVENsKY.
He Was Made the Scapegoat for Grand
 Ducal Msgovernment.

From the New York World.
 If Admiral Rojestvensl1y did not literally die of a broken heart, his last years were embittered and his death probably hastened by the obloquy fastened upon him in his own country, while in every other nation he was honored as a brave but unfortunate man.
 To have taken the Russian fleet from Libau more than halfway round the world, and to have marshaled it in fight ing condition against the Japanese at Tsushima, would have been a great feat even if the ships had been in perfect condition at the start. Admiral Evans was justly praised for his success in taking our splendidly appointed fleet to San Francisco, a shorter trip, in time of peace, with huzzahing friends in every port.
 The Russian fleet, far from being in condition for service, was a monument to official greed, neglect, and incompetency its personnel was divided by racial hatreds, bitter at wrongs of misgoVern- ment honeycombed with sedition hope less of the outcome, and so ill-trained and moblike that the men trained their guns on harmless British fishermen before they had fairly started and nearly in- volved in a second war the country which half of them were ready to forswear. They were scarcely more prepared for battle than the Chinese had been 10 years earlier. Yet because he raised the white flag when he was hopelessly beaten and he lay wounded and insensble, Rojest- vensky was court-martialed by his grate- full country and made a scapegoat for a misgovernment of, by, and for the grand dukes.
 Rojestvensky's task was more hopeless than Cervera's. yet Cervera, after a natural burst of resentment retained the respect of his own country as well as of ours. Spain seems to be a better country to serve than Russia.

OO0,O00 yen or more every year. It has a large import trade and brings into Ja pan locomotives, steel bridges and cleo trical machines It purchases steamers, warships and ordnance for the govern ment and also railway equipment and materials It deals largely in cotton and wool, and handles American canned meats, wheat, flour and other such things. The company also acts as insurance agents, representing some of the largest of the American and English insurance companies, and that not only in Japan, but in India, the Straits Settlements and China as well.
 Japan's Biggest Department Store.
 Leaving the Mtsui Bussan Kaisha, I crossed the street and went through the big department store belonging to the Mitsui family This is by far the largest and most complete store in the Japanese empire. It has a capital of 100000 yen, and it does daily business of about 5000 yen It Is like nothing else in Japan, and is one of the best examples of how the western movement is capturing the empire, and also of the solidity of the new institutions. It is known as the Mitsu dry goods store. Marshall Field, who was at the time he died worth about S50OOO,0O0, made as Storekeeper, never liked the words department store" He called his big establishment in Chicago a dry goods store. The Mitsuis follow the same rule, and that, perhaps, because the fortunes of the family were founded on dry goods. As I have said, the business was begun during the sixteenth century almost 100 years before Boston was founded-and it was only a few years later that a store was opened right here on the site of this big establishment of today. After the combination of the five Mitsui brothers in 1723 this store steadily grew, and it covered a large area, about one-half of which is now occupied by the Mitsm Gofukuten, as the store is called today.
 The Mitsuis in the past started the cash business in Japan, and this new store has fixed prices marked on the goods. It has cash carriers to take the money from one part of the store to the other, and also a big mail order department, through which goods are sent to all parts of the empire, and collections are made through the postoffices It has automobiles to deliver its goods through the city, elegant dining rooms and resting rooms for its
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-01-24

customers and special exhibitions of new goods, which bring out fashionable so- eiety. It has a photographic department, q picture gallery. ladies dressmalxing and tailoring establishments and, in fact, al- most everything found in the best depart- ment stores in the United States. The building If of three stories with wide plate glass windows and a spacious en- trance hall. In the center of it are two courts roofed with glass, so curtained that just the right light can be admitted whether the day be bright or dark In these courts are fountains. in the basins of whicl goldfish swim and about which are palms rising high into the air. The whole of the three stories are carpeted with the softest of white mating and are filled with Japanese goods of various kindls, beautifully displayed in glass cases.
 Shopping In Ones Stockinqfeet.
 This big store. with its vast quantities of new goods of all kinds is supported by the Japanese, although it has its de+. partments intended for foreigners. There are about 100000 people in Tokio alones and the country around is more thicklys populated than any part of the United States. The store is so beautiful that mol one would think of entering it with
  women all check their shoes and um-' brellas at the door. l came out of a jin- rilxisha and one of the clerks drew over my shoes a pair of soft cloth slippers, and it was in them that walked through. The mating is as white as a tablecloth, and there is not a spot of dirt any where to be seen The store was full of Japanese women and girls looking over goods and going through the other opera tions of shopping just as our women do in the United States. Some were examining the magnificent obis or wide belts, which form the most decorative part of the Jap anese costume; others were looking up stuff for kimonos, and others buying shoes, jewelry, pictures: and, in fact, everything under the sun. Some of the shoes are beautifully lacquered, and I saw single obs which sell for $500 Think of a belt for your dress which might cost you $10O or more, and you have an idea of a possible extravaganza of the Japanese women.

Tokio, Japan. LAVE you heard of the Mitsui
 family?
 | A It is the richest of all Japan and one of the richest of the world. What the Rothschilds are to England and Rock efeller is to the United States the .Mitsuis are to Japan. They may also be compared with the Astors and the Nanderbilts and their undertakings include such as have made the for tunes of Krupp, Marshall Field, Ste phen Girard and John WanamaKer They are famous as merchants, miners manfacturers.. exporters, bankers and financiers. They have a capital run hing high into the tens of millions of dollars and they do a business of hundreds of millions a year. In some years the foreign trade of this fam fly is equal to one-seventh of the whole foreign trade of Japan. Its coal mines produce about one-third of all the coal mined in the empire and they supply a great part of that used in the ports of east Asia. The Mitsuis own great cotton mills and furnish about one- third of the Japanese exports of cot ton yarn. They have other factories and foundries throughout the empire

rooms of the Mtsui house. They have commercial museum which enables their clerks and employees to study all sorts of raw materials and manufactured goods.
 These rooms are somewhat similar to those of our Philadelphia Commercial Museum, and one could hardly imagine such collection being gotten together by private company. Connected with the museum is a large library of up-to-date books on textiles, ores, mining and manu- factures, and the clerks are well edu- cated. The Mitsui family has it's own system of education for it's employees. It has set apart a fund of 5000 yen an- nually to send it's clerks to China and other countries to enable them to acquire the languages and education necessary
 for their business. It Is now exporting all sorts of goods to the amount of 9O,-
