Two weeks ago the authorities here

The Couple Carried Out Carefully
Planned Pact After Attending
the Funeral OF Mutsu-
hItc.

Toxic. Gen, Count Maresuke Nogi,
supreme military councillor of the en-
pire, and his wife, the Countess Nogl,
committed suicide IN accordance with
the ancient Japanese custom as q final
tribute to their departed Emperor and
friend, Mutsuhito.
The death by their own hands Of
the famous General and his wife was
as dramatic as it was sad. The Gem
eral cut his throat with q short sword
and the Countess committed hari-kari.
Following the Samurai custom the
couple had carefully prepared their
plans for killing themselves and timed
them so that they could be coincfdsnt
with the departure forever from Toxic
of the dead Emperor.
General Nogi and the Countess had
attended the funeral services of
Mufsuhito at the palace here and il
was expected that they would pro-
coed to Aoyama with the cortege. In
stead, however, at the conclusion of
the ceremony at the palace they with
drew to their modest home In
Akasalka, a suburb Of Toxic, and there
began their final preparations for
death,
First the General wrote letter to
his new Emperor. Yoshihito, which
later was found beside his body. Then
be draped in mourning portrait on
the wall of the late Emperor and af-
terward he and his wife dressed them
selves in full Japanese costume and
drank farewell cup of sake from cups
which had been presented to the Gem
eral by Mutsuhito.
Darkness had fallen and General
Nogi and the Countess sat and await
ed the signal they had agreed upon to
announce their leave-taking. This
was the booming of a single gun in
the palace grounds at Toxic, which
was to let the people know that the
body of the Emperor was starting on
the funeral car for its last resting
place.
AS the boom of the gun resounded
through the clear, still night General
Nogi arose and grasping in his hand
short sword plunged 1t into his
throat, while the Countess stabbed
herself through the body.
A student who resided In the Nogi
home heard the fall of the bodies and
rushed into the room. Lying upon the
floor we're the hero Of Port Arthur and
his wife. Both still were breathing,
but their spasmodic gasps showed
plainly that death was near. The stu
dent hurried for aid. but when he re-
turned with it both the General and
the Countess were dead
The tragedy created profound sem
sation and expressions Of sorrow were
heard on every hand.
Those who knew General Nogi well
declared that his calmness In killing
himself was the kind of stoicism he al
ways had displayed, no matter what
crisis faced him.
General Count Nogi was national
hero in Japan. 1t was he who cap
tured Port Arthur from the Russians
in 1904 and assured the success Of his
country in the battle OF Mukden. The
Count was born at Hagi. in the Prov
ince Of Choshu, in 1S49 and was the
eldest son of Maretsugu Nogi, a
samurai Of the Choshu clan.
The Countess Nogi was daughter
Of Yuchi Sadaynki, samurai of the
Kagosnima clan.
