HfcN Yoshihito because flgry the reigning sovereign Z of Japan he found hymWrar self in a position comparable to that of no emperor on earth. Other emperors, western MW few an< * ® astern > are human. Yoshihito in the eyes of his subjects is I divine. WavUvl The succession of othZ rfrap/K. er emperors is clouded and disconnected; that !>f Yoshihito is complete and self-suf-ficient. One hundred and twenty■hlrd sovereign of his line, he traces his royal descent back to the mists sf the world, back six hundred years, •md more, before the time of Christ, back, in fact, to the great heroic age of Japan, when two gods were called upon to create a land from the liquid Islands of the air—and they created Japan. From these gods he claims descent, and not even the most highly educated and scientifically minded Japanese will dispute it. That is the chord of belief which no modern sophistication can pierce. The dqad Mutsuhito has taken his harborage with his fellow gods, and Yoshihito, reigning, is of his blood. This, in part, explains the attitude of veneration in which the Japanese regard their ruler, explains the sentiment which marks him forth from brother sovereigns. It is a sentiment ivhich few Japanese will discuss. "It is a sentiment,’’ said one to the writer, “which it is impossible for a Japanese to analyze, and which if analyzed no foreign mind cfiuld comprehend. “It springs partly from the intense Idealism of the people and is really a peculiar form of patriotism. It is as if the Japanese nation were reverencing itself, for it believes that it, too, sprang from the gods and that. It is of the family of the emperor. To a nation which reverences its ancestors, the emperor represents a link between the present Japan and everything that has gone before —a link perhaps, between the material and the spirit world. He is at once an element of mysticism and the embodiment of material national strength. It is as if,” —the Japanese gentleman paused—"you could merge the sentiment of a Roman Catholic for the pope and the affection of a people for a great king.” "Will the present emperoh preserve for himself the full sentiment which the people had for his father?” was asked. The Japanese shrugged. “In a measure, perhaps. Wholly, he answered. 'CThaLne will command a peculiar revertrtfce is certain from the reasons I have given, which are inherent in the nation. That the affection of the people will be as great as that given to the late emperor is doubtful. You see, the last sovereign inspired and controlled Japan from its growth from a feudal land to a world wide nation. From the time the great princes ordaimios surrendered their powers and estates to the granting of a modern and voluntary constitution in 1889, his was the initiative of each successive advance. He had done more even than the nation expected—certainly more than ever had been accomplished for a nation before. That record was personal to him and is responsible for the personal love with which he is regarded. We honor and reverence the new sovereign—yes. He is emperor, he is the embodied spirit of Japan. But, love? Even an emperor must earn love for himself.” 1 / So enters Yoshihito, the new emperor of Japan, upon his kingdom—the recipient, in western eyes, of strange marks of Japanese respect. For if the race follows the precedents given to Mutsuhito, Yoshihito’s name will not be pronounced by any of his subjects. “The sovereign,” “the emperor," he will be; never Yoshihito. To call the name of Yoshihito will be sacrilege. It would be as if a shrine had been assailed. And that is only a small indication of the respect which the Japanese will give him as a sovereign. No man or woman will sit before him. None, if convention be maintained, will speak directly to him, for it is the custom to address the emperor of Japan only through members of his househord. In his presence even the greatest will look upon the ground, unless the emperor be placed? at some when it is permissible that the eye's be raised, and even this is a concession to the new world of things in Japan. For the dead emperor,

passed the first sixteen years of life, unseen by any unseen by any but his personal attendants, who were of his family. In conference even with the greatest of those who served him, his face was never shown, for he sat hidden within a canopy, on the low throne-platform from which his orders came. Till sixteen years of age he had never walked —and the art of walking was with him a stiff and harsh practice to the end. Nev.', too, is the wild acclaim of innumerable “banzais” whenever the emperor’s presence by the’ people—for it came* into Japan within the last fifteen years and in the skirts of progress. Before that time a dead silence had spoken national respect—a dead silence and eyes lowered and the shuttered windows of houses along the street. Yoshihito will undoubtedly be viewed by his subjects as closer to the human species than any of the emperors that preceded him. For even his father began his reign as the practical prisoner of his own deification. Prior to 1868 he —as were his predecessors for hundreds of years — was the splendidly isolated but practical prisoner of the shogun, in whose hands the real administrative power lay. The generalissimo of the forces, the shogun, also controlled the administrative functions of government, while the emperor himself was merely a splendid figure—too sacred by far to indulge in the ignoble occupation of “doing things.” And the personality’of this new ruler, who commands medieval respect from a nation so ultra-modern as the Japanese?

jaw of the great emperor, his father, in his august position today he seems somewhat of an anomaly to the western eyes, for he is not the son of the empress of Japan, but of one of Mutsohito’s lesser wives, the Countess Yanagaware, and chosen the last emperor as that sovereign’s successor under the law of Japan. He is thir-ty-one years old, and with the exception of a slight illness, hardier than he has ever been. For Yoshihito has been a frail figure since infancy—a sufferer from a constitutional which parried off his elder brother, and which the unusual size of his head sufficiently suggests. He is a sufferer from water on the brain, which, however, impairs his mental faculties not the least, but only renders him unusually

sensitive to nervous diseases. He is spoken of as serious and bright and with some pretense to social instincts unpossessed by his parent. Third among the sons, and one among the twelve children of the late emperor, Yoshihito had no greater reason to expect a succession to sovereignty than had any of his brothers, had they lived, for it is the custom of the emperor to nominate his successor from the most likely material —only being limited by the fact that he must be of royal blood. The death of his two elder brothers, however, opened up vast royal perspectives to Yoshihito, and in 1887 he was nominated heir apparent, being proclaimed crown prince in 1889. Yoshihito’s life in its. earliest years reflected the changed condition of Japan. He was brought up democratically, and attended school in the College of Peers, which is inteutied for the education of princes and nobles, but which is open to all. Here he worked with the rest, possessing no privileges unpossessed by the most obscure; and with a punctuality insisted upon from even him, the descendant of the gods. In this« way came the comparative development of his social instincts, for, unlike Mutsuhito, he prefers to talk directly with his company than through the august intermediary of court officials. Later, how’ever, he came under the care of a tutor, General Oku, who was assisted by a Mr. Adachi, who seems to have been linguistically inclined, for the present emperor speaks English and French, as well as German. From General Oku he studied military tactics and early proved that in Japan royalty is something of a talisman. At thirteen he was a lieutenant, at sixteen colonel of the Japanese army. In these early years, from our western viewpoint, he lived a life of

remarkable independence of parental control. He occupied, almost from infancy, a palace of his own, not, however, distant from the emperor’s. With all this atmosphere of the feudal, however, Y r oshihito is thoroughty in accord with the modern spirit ‘of his country. In many respects he is tinged with European habits to a degree not even approached by his father. In 1906, when his three-storied palace was built at a cost of $300,000, It was European rather than Japanese in character. Even in his unofficial moments, too, he uses European dress. Such is a slight’’portrait of Ybshihito, new emperor of Japan, who, presumably, will desert his own palace and inherit that in which the late em--peror lived.

STORY OF DECATUR BATTLE Interesting Account Is of Hot Time at That Important Stronghold in Alabama. In the National Tribune of May 21 Sergeant Ashley V. Newton, Co. D, 3u Mich., in “Colored Troops at Decatur,” s-ys that at Nashville his regiment got a rush order to proceed to Decatur to reinforce General Milroy, who was being closely pressed by Forrest. General Milroy was not at Decatur; neither was Forrest, writes Will A. McTeer, adjutant, 3d Tenn; Cav., and asting aslstant adjutant general, First Brigade, Fourth Division, Cavalry Corps, Maryville, Tenn., in the National Tribune. Gen. Robert S. Granger was in command of the military district, of north Alabama, with headquarters at Decatur and Huntsville. Col. C. C. Doolittle, of the 18th Mich., was in command of the post at Decatur. Comrade Newton says: “We found the bridge burned, but General Milroy had provided for our coming by erecting a pontoon bridge.” “Our Cavalry Brigade reported to General Granger’for duty, arriving at Decatur July 10, 1864, and the bridge was destroyed before that time, and the pontoon was erected then, and appeared as if it had been there for months before. It appears that it wms placed there, by* General Sherman when on his way from Memphis to Chattanooga.” Further, Comrade Newton says:; “The Confederates seeing us, emphasized their objection by rushing a sixpiece battery down to the bank of th© river within easy range of the bridge, and they would have mixed things up very seriously for the 3d Mich, but for the timely intervention of two companies of colored troops that were sent by General Milroy to distract their attention in another direction.” I was acting assistant adjutant general of the Cavalry Brigade and on the line of battle. Hood (not Forrest) attacked us, October 26, 1864. In General Granger’s report to General Thomas he fixes his w'hole force at Decatur at 1,750, and with the 29td Mich, added, which had just arrived, and 350 absent on patrol, duty, there were only 2,000 men to defend Decatur. Every available man was placed out on the line, and then we could not reach around more than, half way in front of our works. The: only reason that the first day’s fighting wms not one of the greatest bat-, ties of the w r ar was because there were not men enough to make it so. There were no colored troops there' that day, but in the night we were reinforced by the 14th IT. S. Colored Inf., commanded by Col. (afterwards General) J. T. Morgan. The 3d and 29th Mich, reinforced us while engaged in the hottest part on the first afternoon. I remember distinctly their coming, and as they went out on the line the appearance of the bright, new uniforms was in decided contrast to our own worn and dingy clothing. The Confederates were using a battery at a lively rate with deadly effect, but it was nearly a mile from the river and not in range of the bridge at all. On the 27th the enemy threw up some pits on the bank of the river, about a mile above Decatur and nearly a half mile from where the bat-' tery was first used by them on the flrat day. On the morning of the 28th a detachment from the 18th Mich, and 102 d Ohio (according to my journal 47 men) made their way down the river, succeeded in flanking the Confederate rifle pits, made a gallant charge from their rear, In which a number of men were killed” and wounded, and brought in 120 prisoners. 1 stood on the upper porch of the Decatur hotel w’hen Colonel Morgan came in front with the 14th regiment of colored troops (not two companies), and they piled their / knapsacks, leaving one man to the company as guards. I noticed Colonel Morgan holding in his hand a small hatchet, and also that a number of the officers had hatchets. They started out in the open field, marching in excellent order to within rifle range of the Confederates, when they fired a volley, then raised a yell and charged. The affair did not last much more than 20 minutes, but the work was bloody. They drove the Confederates from their support with the bayonet. The guns were spiked, and the colored boys had to fall down along the water’s edge under the bank of the river, while the enemy ran along above them and shot down on them. In his report of this charge, General Granger says: “We lost 40 killed and wounded,” and up to that time our loss amounted to 80. In the forenoon of October 29 the enemy began to withdraw, and I was at the place where this battery had stood, and it was a place ofc blood without a doubt. Prior to this charge Capt. Albert F. Beach, Battery A,-Ist Tenn., had taken two sections of his guns up on the north side of the river, opposite the Confederate battery, and they fought an artillery duel across the river, and Beach succeeded tn blowing up two of their caissons, which killed quite a number of them, and this was evident on the ground. • Monument to Women.

His first catch ras a pickerel weighing three pounds. iVhen he yanked the fish it flopped iround in the bottom of the boat in i lively fashion. As Henry was baiting up again he f elt a sharp pain in one of his feet, ind, looking down, saw that the pickirel had made a jump and fastened ts teeth in his toe. He tried to kick he fish away, but the pickerel held m and Henry had to use the handle if his landing net to pry open the ish’s jaws before he got free of It. The toe started to swell where the eeth had punctured it, and Henry be;ame worried. He says he thinks it jossible that the pickerel may have lad hydrophobia and, as a precautiontry measure, he sent the head to the ?asteur institute.
