 an attorney sent from Washington
 with representatives of the army and
 navy and corps of secretaries, left
 shore in a sea-going launch when look
 outs sighted the first smoke of the
 liner bringing the mission, and board ed the vessel as she made port with the Rising Sun flag of Japan flying at
 her fore peak in honor of the distin guished passengers.
 Warship Circles Liner With them are Masanao Hanihara, consul general at Pacific; Tadenao Imai, vice consul from another port, both assigned to membership on the are Vice Admiral L. Takeshita, Major General s. Sugano, who won the order of the Kite in the Russo-Japanese war; {; Matsuza Nagai, secretary of the for eign office; Commander M. Ando, an officer listed as Major K. Tanikawa, who learned on arrival that he had been made a colonel while at sea.
 A United States battleship eircled the liner as she lay at anchor until the mission put aboard the launch, shore bound.
 The real ceremonies began at the landing place.
 Masses of troops banked the street, cavalrymen in long line with sabers lifted at snracapt arrnc and romc of infantry, also at present while the Japanese national anthem was played Lines of troopers rode beside the au- tomobiles which escorted the mission to the city hall, while thousands of spectators crowded the sidewalks for glimpse of the men coming on so mo- mentous an errand.
 Ishii Is Cheered
 Applause greeted each member of the mission as he was presented by the mayor to the people and bowed his acknowledgements, but when Wis count Ishii made his declaration of alliance and friendship it rose to a roar asthe crowd caught the significance of his utterance and the viscount. who had been reading in moderate voice from his manuscript, continued in viz orous tones.
 This perhaps is neither the time northe place for detailed exposition of the plans which circumscribed our mission" he said. Tt is sufficient that you see in our presence here this afternoon Japan's pledge of loyalty to the principles for which America has thrown the gauge of battle.
 "We shall proceed to Washington, carrying to your great president and the American people a message of fra ternity and cheer. It is our ambition if that were necessary-to impress once more upon the American people the solemn fact that Japan stands with i you, heart and soul, in your lofty pur- pose to make this world the abiding place of liberty, justice and fair play.
 Tn this crisis of the worlds affairs we are proud to claim ourselves as the allies of the American republic and are honored by your trust and good will.
 q can only add that this splendid demonstration at the very moment Of placing our foot upon your hospitable shores fills our hearts with gratitude and inspires every member of this with the conviction that the objects of our visit to America are already guaranteed"
 Preparations for the reception of themission, in charge of civic authori- ties, went to the minutest detail, even the streets selected for the line of march being sanded to prevent the mischance of a horse slipping.
 At the city hall Major General Hun ter Liggett, commanding the western department of the army, stood with his Japanese fellows in arms, who were in khaki, blazing with decorations, and he will have much to do with the plans for their entertainment while he commission remains in the west. These include review of troops now lere, and visit to mobilization campS 1n this coast.
 A banquet was rendered the mission tonight by'resident Japanese.
 The event of the voyage, all mem Ders of the commission declared, was heir stop at Honolulu.
 Tt was the great incident and in- Iced the experience of the trip" said Viscount Ishii. q am most deeply of the attention paid this special mission by the governor of the erritory of Hawaii and the great cour- esy shown us on all sides when We were on the islands. It was gratify- ng and enheartening."
