Boston, Aug. 1S-Somewhat reeev-
cred from the attack of acute indiges-
tion which yesterday shattered his
sightseeing program in this vicinity.
Admiral Count Togo decided tonight
that after formal calls on the mayor
and acting Governor and a sight-see-
ing tour he will continue his journey
tomorrow to Niagara Falls.
Deeply regretful at having missed an
opportunity to see the North Atlantic
fleet in maneuvers off Provincetown
yesterday. the japanese sea-fighter,
with profound gratitude declined the
second invitation Of the navy depart
men to arrange for a visit to the fleet
tomorrow should the admiral find il
convenient to postpone his departure
another day.
The admiral is booked to sail from
Seattle within Il days. Over the actual
time for travelling he will have Two
days at Niagara Falls, a day in the
Canadian Rockies and a day at Seattle
