General Baron Kuroki last night gave a banquet to 50 Chicagoans, which, for expense, splendor and unique features, has arely been equaled. The baron gave orders that no expense was. to be spared, and his orders were carried out to the letter. The banquet hall was transformed into a marvelous maze of Japanese lanterns, draperies and dainty scrolls, while the menu in cluded the finest wines to be had. Baron Kuroki entered heartily into the spirit of Memorial Day. Early in the morning the warrior-viistor and hit staff donned their regimentals and it was decidedly a military party which emerged from the Auditorium Annex to go to the home of the Im perial Consul, S. Sliimizu. It was the first time the Nipponese visitors had worn their military uniforms. Gen eral Kuroki was attired in a clay colored uniforms, with but one deco ration, a medal for bravery presented by the Mikado. . The other members of the party were ablaze with deco ration, but Kuroki - wore tne really valuable emblem. In the afternoon the general paid tribute to the memory of Abraham Lincoln in an impressive way a way that touched the hearts of the Ameri cans who witnessed it, and a way that Chicagoans probably will remember as the one thing more than any other which gave an insight into the brown. little, gnrzled warriors character. At S o clock the party left the Audi torium Annex in two automobiles, carrying a wreath of white roses four feet in diameter. All the way to Lin coln Park the general was silent, as if impressed with the importance of the tribute he was about to pay: and aware apparently of whatever value it might have as an international episode of his trip to America. At Lincoln Park. President rrancis I. Simmons, of the Park Board, met the party, and at the base of the great St. Gaudens bronze statue brief speeches , were made. The general, head uncovered and in lull uniform, presented a, great contrast as he stood bareheaded be fore the tall statue of the great eman cipator, and the sight was one long to be remembered. A vast crowd had assembled, and General Kuroki. aided by some of his officers, raised the wreath and placed it revenently on the iect of the statue. . 1 hen salu tations were exchanged all around. and the visitors departed, cheered by the crowd. Another incident was a call made upon the general early in the morning by a tew baseball enthusiasts. Gen eral Kuroki, holding a ball in one hand and a bat in the other, eulogized the American game, and said he would boom it in Japan. He intends to see the game between the world's champion White Stockings and the Uetroits here Saturday. RIOTS IN IRELAND. Peasants Rbl Against Leasing of Farm for Grazing. Dublin. May 31-The latest phase of the land agitation in the congested districts of Ireland is taking the form of a crusade against the holders of grazing farms on the 11 months' lease system, and is developing with great rapidity. Kings County and worm iipperary are me cenrers oi noting. In bygone days these coun tries saw many evictions, and today the peasants are determined that the land shall be redistributed to small hold ers. -l Reports are received daily of the gathering of large bands of peasants, who destroy gates and fences and clear the grazing ranches of cattle. which they drive back over miles of country to the farm of the owners. In two cases men who had leased ranches were compelled to abandon their homes because of intimidation. There have been serious conflicts be tween the police and peasants, and many - persons on both sides have been injured. There have been numerous prosecutions, but the sym pathy with the peasants is so strong that in one ot two instances even the magistrates have declined to concur in the conviction of the disturbers of the peace, one magistrate even going so far as to declare himself ready to go to prison with the defendant Overthrow tht Government, Canton, China, May SL The revo lutionists in the neighborhood of Swatow 'recently captured the entire family of a Chinese brigadier-general and compelled them, all to drown themselves in a well. Thirteen hun dred troops have been dispatched from Canton to Swatow, and another detachment has gone there from Shiu shing. A Swatow dispatch says that a proclamation issued by the Svatvan Revolutionary bociety declares that uprising is not directed against or eigners or ordinary Chinese subjects. but against the government. Big Incrtaaa In Falariat. Chi ago, - May 31 A dispitch to the -Tribune from Omaha, Neb., says: Salary advances averaging 10 pe rcent havt been granted by the Burlington over the entire system.

In the Omaha of fices alone there will be an increase of approximately $50,00o a year. Will Not Pay Damages. Los Angeles, Cal., May 31.

French Merchant Fleet Tied Up by Labor Troubles. DEMAND INCREASE IN PENSIONS Entire Naval Rtrv Quits Work Torpedo Boata Carry Mail on Mtdittrrantan. Paris. June 1 -A general strike of tailor and others belonging to tb French naval reserve began at almost all the port of Franc at daylight to day and threatens the complete paraly sis of French commerce. The naviga tion committees are making energetic representation to th government, say ing that th movement i not directed against them and that unlet it is set tled immediately it will eaus untold injury to French commerce. Tb naval reserve comprise nearly the entire maritime population engaged in sea-faring life and number 117,000 men, of whom 25,000 are serving In the navy. In addition to practically all the seamen of the mercantile trade, most of the longshoremen belong to tbt na val reserve. . The strike was declared by the ex ecutive committee of the National Bea- men' Union beeanse the government's new bill increasing pensions from $40.80 to $72.50 in the ease of seamen and from $156 to $200 in the ease of captains is regarded as inadequate. The tie-up i almost eomplete tt the Mediterranean, Atlantic and Channel ports. The strikers generally left their ship and th government commanded the torpedo boat and torpedo-boat de- troyer to carry on the mail service with th colonic and with Mediter ranean porta. The Freneh T rant-Atlantic Steamship Company announced today that neither La Provence nor La Oaaeogne will be able to sail for New York tomorrow, both crews having abandoned their ship, bimilar condi tions prevail at Bordeaux. v Official of the French line have re quested the government to land them crew from the tate naval depots, but no reply has yet been received. Le gally all the companies are in a po sition to coerce the men, as, being members of the naval reserve, the crews are subject to heavy penalties for insubordination, but it is regarded as more likely that they will try to effect a torn prom is. At Marseilles the tailors and long shoremen struck almost to a man, and all the fishermen drew up their net. The strike is as complete at HavTe, but up to this evening the men had not struck at Brest. At Toulon the strike is complete; at Dunkirk and rvantes the men are going out, and at Koucn tne longshoremen nave aban doned their work.
