Tokio, Sept 13.-The body of En- peror Mutsuhit0 was conveyed from Tokto to Aoyama tonight in the first stage of the journey to it's last rest ing place at Monoyama.

 Following the impressive funeral ser vice of today in the palace, the single detonation of a gun tonight served as an announcement to the waiting thou sands in T0lkio that the cortege was leaving the palace for Aoyama.

AN OLD CUSTOM.
yapanese Ambassador Says lt is Now
 . Rare Occurrence.

, Washington, Sept 13. - Viscount Chinda, Japanese ambassador here, was inexpressibly shocked and grieved at the tragic deaths of General Nogi and his wife. The ambassador re- called the fact that in the days of feudal Japan when the lord of the manor died 1t was by no means an uncommon practice for his close de- pendents and friends to commit suicide In order that the spirit of the de- ceased should not make the last jour ney alone. In recent years, and in the new Japan, this custom had been gen. erally abandoned, so that it is now of very rare occurrence. The fact that General Nogi and his wife had lost their two sons during the Russo Japanese war leaving them practical iy with no family ties, had centered their affections and devotion upon. the late Emperor Mutsuhito. and it was doubtless the case that upon his death the mind of the old warrior succumbed to the strain.
 Judge Advocate General Enoch Crowder is one of the few American army officers who came closely in coh- tact with General Nogi during the Russo-Japanese war. He was one of the American military attaches per- InllICV lO L1lc JdPdhC6C army at Port Arthur.
 General ,Crowder was greatly sur prised to learn of the self-destruction of the Japanese general. He regarded him asa man of more than usual self-poise and self-command. The old indomitable Samurai instinct, it. was plain to be seen, said General Crowder had a strong hold upon his personality 7 and 1t was doubtless the ancient early faith that brought General Nogi tc self destruction.

General Nogi never came here Tn July. 1911. he was to have accom- panied Admiral Togo to this country but at the last moment he wal obliged to decline the special invita-
