tentive hearing will be given the CON

question and it's bearing upon inter

undoubtedly prevail 1t Is unbclev-

@secure every concession possible for
her ships-she is entitled to just
reatment-nothing more.
But the United States Is building
the canal. We undertook the big
job after another nation had failed
and after the idea had been aban-
donod or never even considered by
other powers able to construct It. It

HERO Of JAPANESE WAR ENDS LIFE
As FINAL TRIBUTE TO EMPEROR
Gen. Nogi, Who Received the
Surrender of Russian Com
mander, Plunges a Sword
Into His Throat.

Toxic Jap, Sep. 14-Gen. Count Mar
aresuke Ncgi, supreme military council
or of the empire and his wife, the coun-
tess Nogi. who committed suicide fol-
lowing the funeral services OF the
emperor, did 50 in accordance with an
ancient Japanese custom, as 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 II was sad. The gen
eEal cut his throat with a short
sword and the countess committed
hari-kari.
Prepare Plans Carefully.
. Following the Samurai custom, the
couple had carefully prepared their
plans for killing themselves and timed
them 50 that they would be coincident
with the departure forever from Toxic
Of the dead emperor.
Gen. Nogi and the countess had at
tended the funeral services of Nut
suhito at the palace, and it was ex-
pected they would proceed to Aoyama
with the cortege. Instead however, at
the conclusion of the ceremony at the
palace they withdrew to their modest
home in Akasaka, a suburb Of Toxic,
and there began their final prepare
tons for death
First, the general wrote a letter to
his new emperor, Eoshihito, which
later was found beside his body. Then
he draped in mourning a portrait OF
the late emperor and afterward he
and his wife dressed themselves in
full Japanese costume and drank a
farewell cup OF sake, from cups which
had been presented to them by Nut
suhito.
Await Death Signal.
Darkness had fallen and Gen. Nogi
and the countess sat and awaited the
signal they had agreed upon to an
nounce 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 Gen.
Nogi arose, grasping in his hand a
short sword, plunged it 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 ana
rushed into the room.
