GEN, NOGI AND WIFE
TAKE THEIR LIVES
Commit fiari.kari That They
May Follow Mikado.
Cantor of Port Arthur Makes Away
with Himself at Close of Emperor's
Funeral in Tokyo, with
Countess at Side.

At Tokyo, Japan, General Count
Marasuke Nogi, supreme military
councillor, and his wife, the Countess
Nogi, committed suicide following the
religious exercises in connection with
the death of the emperor, Mutsuhitc.
According to the meager informa-
ton available, General Nogi and his
wife died by hari-kari, the old Samurai
form of suicide by the sword. Both
were descendants of the Old clans Of
crossword men, and belonged to the
old school Of philosophy, in spite OF
their adoption of modern ways.
There is much speculation as TO
whether. the act was merely one of
personal devotion or whether the dis
tfnguished couple had been chosen to
follow the spirit of the emperor as at
tendants
Was Captor OF Port Arthur.
General Count NOgi was a national
hero in Japan. It 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
Province Of Choshu, in 1849, and was
the eldest son of Maretsugu Nogi, a
San,Irai Of the Choshu clan.
During the Saigo rebellion Nogi
fought bravely at the battles of Yania-
gauchi and Tawarazaka and was
wounded, and after the rebellion was
suppressed he was made a lieutenant
colonel
He commanded the first brigade of
infantry in the CEinO-Japanese war
and captured Port Arthur in one day.
On the outbreak Of the Russo-Japan-
csc war in 1904 General Nogi was ap-
pointed commander Of the third army.
His forces took 203-Meter Hill after
terrible slaughter, and also destroyed
the Russian squadron in the port. Gen
eral Nogi personally received Gener-
al Stoessel's proposal to surrender
Port Arthur.
The Countess Nogi was daughter
of YUchi Sadayaki, Samurai Of the
Kagoshima clan
Hero Of Battle of Mukden.
Nogi was the most prominent figure
of the battle CT MUkden, when in a
maneuver he turned the right of the
Russian army, gaining signal adj
vantage.
General Nogi was created baron
in 1895 and count in 1906.
Adachi Kinnosuke, Japanese
writer, in a sketch of General Nogj,
says:
General Nogi is the type of soldier
upon which the ideals Of the elder
days of the Samurai would look down
with pleasure. He is peculiar in his
conceptions of the life of a soldier"
Another said Of him:
when at the front General Nogi
makes even the devils cry, but in his
home his commands are not even
needed by the horses or dogs"
