of single gun in the palace grounds at
Toxic which was to let the people know
that the body of the Emperor was start

AS the boom of the signal gun resound-
Nogi arose and grasping tightly in his
hand II short sword plunged 1t into his
! throat while the countess stabbed herself
| through the stomach. A student who
resided in the Nog home heard the fall
Of the bodies and rushed into the room
! Lying upon the floor were the hero OF
Port Arthur and his wife. Both still were
breathing. but their spasmodc gasps
showed plainly that their lives were fast
ebbing. The student went for aid. but
when he returned with 1t both the general
and the countess had passed away.
The tragedy created n profound sem

heard on every hand tonight. Especial
~ grief stricken was Prince Arthur Of

funeral of Mutsuhito of Great Britain.
Prince Arthur was to have gone with
General Nogi tomorrow to the former

Maresuke Nogi. supreme military
councillor of the empire. and his wife.
the Countess Nogi. committed suicide
tonight in accordance with the an
oient japanese custom as their final
tribute to their departed Emperor and
friend Mutsuhito.
The taking off by their own hands
of the famous general AMI his wife
was as dramatic as 1T was sad. The
general cut his throat with short
sword and the countess committed
hari kari.
Following the Samurni custom tae
couple had carefully prepared their
plans for killing themselves and time |
them so that they would be corncident
with the departure forever from Toxic
of the deai Emperor.
General Nogi and the countess had
attended the funeral services Of Mutt
suhito at the palace here to-day, and
it was expected that they would pro-
coed to Aoyama tonight with the
cortcge. Instead. however, at the con-
clusion of the ceremony at the palace
they withdrew to their modest home
| in Akasaka suburb of Toxic. and
there began their final preparations
| for death.
First the general wrote a letter TO
his new Emperor Yoshihito which was
later found beside his body. Then he
draped in mourning a portrait on the
wall of the late Emperor and after
wards 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 gen
cral by Mutsuhito.
