country by the emperor OF japan. a.
rived in Minneapolis from Duiutn.
They spent the past two days vlsi'-
ing the iron range OF Northern MIN
nesota and the Industries Oh ING
zenith City. They were met AZ the
depot by the members OF the puDhc
entertainment committee and escorted
to the West hotel, where tney were
shown their rooms and took break
fast.
After breakfast they attended the
morning services at the Fowler Meth
odist Episcopal church, on Lowry dill.
From there they went by troiiey 10
Excelsior. where they boarded tGats
for the Lafayette club, in the vicinity
OF Minnetonka Beach. Here they met
President Taft.
After luncheon the entire party
toured the lake in small army OF
powered craft after which they re-
turned to Minneapolis.
Mayor James c. Haynes issued the
following proclamation in view OF the
visit of the Japanese ENJOYS:
ITO the people of the City OF Mime
apolis:
"The city Of Minneapolis will be
honored by the presence OF dis
tinguished body of gentlemen who
come from Japan to establish friendly
trade relations with the United States
and Americans.
Appointed by the emperor OF the
Japanese as special ENJOYS to carry on
negotiations with American citizens
that will lead to an open door in the
Far East, the coming Of these gentle
ment to our shores is fraught with url-
usual significance. From the Pacific
coast eastward, their appearance has
seen the signal for demonstrations
that show, beyond peradventure Of
doubt, the l-i.ldlv feelings with which
America regards Japan.
The city of Minneapolis owes 1t
to the nation, to the state of Minneso-
ia, and to itself not to fall behind or
be lacking in that true spirit of hospi-
tality that will make each of these
representatives Of the Mikado feel he
is being welcomed for his own sake
as well as for the cause he represents.
Therefore, do hereby proclaim
that It shall be the duty of the citi-
zens OF Minneapolis to do their utmost
to make the visit of these gentlemen
an event long to be remembered in
the annals of cur city. to the end that
they may carry back with them
Eal~..t but the most pleasant recol-
lcctions of their sojourn with u.s. And
to the visitors themselves. in the name
Of Minneapolis, l do hereby extend
the freedom of the city during their
stay.
