l
 Arizonian, of Douglas, charged with
 entering the cabin of young lady
 and there committing an offense
 against the law, was acquitted by
 his lady admirers although the court directed verdict of guilty.
 | Tt seemed strange to us, that,
 after setting back our timepieces
 from twenty to thirty-four minutes each day, on crossing the 1S0th de- gree of longitude we lost an entire day of twenty-four hours. but, of | course, we had a week of eight days
 when returning As an examination
 of the maps will show, we were at
 one time farther from land than one can be anywhere else in the world. At Yokohama, Tokyo, Kobe and Nagasaki, elaborate arrangements
 had been made for the entertain ment of our party, and even at places of less note, we were received with much warmth and enthusiasm. | There was at that time general re- joicing over the annexation of Korea by Japan, which occurred on the
 morning of our arrival on it's shores,
 and officials and editors in particu-
 lar seemed eager to learn how the
 people of the United States were
 likely to regard this act of the Ja-
 panese government.
 At the seaports we received calls from high government officials and l from committees of Chambers of
 Commerce long before we were able
 to land, and everywhere we went in
 Japan we were feasted and ban
 quoted and public and private build ings were profusely decorated with American and Japanese flags, side
 by side, entwined and in not a few
 instances with the colors of the vis-
 itors' country at the top. Who
 knows but that the management of
 Mir Hearst's Examiner" has achiev-
 ed something in a diplomatic way?
 Certainly the expressions of harmony
 and good will enthusiastically vouch-
 safed by both entertainers and en-
 tertained indicated as much.
 At Yokohama I was one of small number of guests invited to a dinner given by the Consul General to Admiral Hubbard, of the Asiatic Squadron, which was at that time lying in the harDor A few weeks later we met the war fleet in the China sea, on it's way to Shanghai, and passed in the evening and with
 in two miles, exchanging cordial greetings by wireless.
 Many of our party while in To- kohama availed themselves of the valuable services of Miss Tsurue Nagagawa, of the Iris Supply Blu reau. a charming young woman of English education, who has made an innovation in Japanese practice by herself acting as guide for ladies who want to see the tea gardens, geisha girls and other attractions. No one everlooks the pretty geisha girls. t~
 "On the return trip, a small party of us left the steamer at Kobe and proceeded to Kyote where, accom- panied by a competent guide, we visited the great temple of Shoguns and got on quite familiar terms with the great golden image of Buddha in the temple dedicated to him there. At Tokyo the capital of Japan, we had previously visited the shrine and tombs of the Shoguns, where the last of the great ones of that family is buried. Temples, Bud dhas and prayer gates are to be seen almost everywhere in the Flow cry Kingdom. A days ride through the interior of Japan to Yokohama. which we reached three days in ad- vance of the ships sailing, enabled us to learn far more of the real Japan than could be acquired from the marvelously beautiful Inland Sea, through which we had once passed. Towns, villages and pretty little Japanese maidens everywhere. Women picking tea and working in rice fields, and every foot of avail able ground not otherwise employed has at least a patch of growing rice, even in terraces on the hillsides.
 Tn going through the Shimono- seki Straights we passed close to the prison house at Mogi where great numbers of Russian prisoners were confined during the late war, and in full view of the town of that name where the treaty of peace between China and Japan was signed. when the Island of Formosa passed to the latter and where Ii Hung Chang barely escaped assassination.
 At Nagasaki, where our steamer was coaled, five hundred people of both sexes and all ages were em ployed in passing coal, in baskets of about twenty five pounds each. from barges and up the sides of the ship to the coal bunkers within.
