GREATEST PETE Ifl
OF
ANNALS
ISLAND
Japan's Celebration in Honor
of Fleet Eclipses Any Similar
Event in History.
DEEPEST FEELING SHOWN
Whole Country Pays Homage to
America In I'nprwedenred
crption and Warmth of Hos
pitality at Tokio.
TOKIO, Oct. 2!. The capital of Japan
witnessed tonight the most extraordinary
videme of the spirit of the new Japan.
After his audience with the officers of
the American battleship fleet on Tuesday
the Kmperor isaued an order directing the
pople to Increase In every way possible
the enjoyment, comfort and pleasure of
t!ie American visitors, who came, he said,
as hisioric friends of the Japanese nation.
TIms response to this imperial mandate
was seen and heard tonight.
Originally a torchllijht procession of 15.
OX people was planned as part of the
proRramme, but this feature went far be
yond expectations and developed one of
the greatest popular demonstrations and
outpourings of an enthusiastic people ever
witnessed In any country. Japan's war
celebrations after peace with Russia, Lon
don's Mafelclng night and even New
York's election night revel would seem al
most Insignificant compared with Tokio's
celebration tonlsht. It would bo Impossi
ble to estimate the number of people who
tonic part In the parade and the myriads
of spectators.
Parade Miles Lone.
Mile after mile, throush madly cheering
people, the great procession wound Its way.
Jtepresentatlves of various guilds, univer
vities. schools of every clas for boys and
other organisations took part In the pa
rade, and each Individual carried a lighted
lantern held high on a long pole with
American and Japanese flags intertwined.
Admiral Sperry and the other chief of
ficers of the American fleet viewed the
procession from a special stand, standing
with bared heads above the sea of waving
lanterns, the deafening roar of cheers
and the clash of the music from, scores
of bands which played the American Na
tional hymn continuously. So dense be
came the crowds around the stand where
the American officers stood, that the en
tire procession was blocked until Admiral
Sperry was forced to leave In order to
keep an engagement at the dinner given
by Minister of Foreign Affairs Komura.
Ovation to Officers Wives.
Again at the American Embassy the
great procession halted and the climax of
This enthusiasm was reached, although
Ambassador O'Brien was not at the Em
bassy at the time. He. too. hid left to
attend the function at the residence of the
Korelgn Minister. When the head of the
procession arrived at the Embassy and
halted, Mrs. O'Brien and the other ladies
of the Embassy appeared upon the ve
Tanda and received a prolonged ovation
from the crowds, every man and boy
among the paraders lifting his hat to he
ladies, while there were continuous shouts
for the American Ambassador!
The entire grounds surrounding the
Embassy were lighted with a sea of
lanterns and the demonstration at this
point lasted for two hours, the ladies of
the Embassy viewing it until they were
forced to leave to keep a dinner engage
ment. Even then, the parade was not
resumed for more than an hour. Every
band in Tokio turned out for the parade
and their fnvorite airs were "Yankee
loodle." "Dixie" and "John Brown."
Thousands of the paraders wore fantas
tic costumes characteristic of Japanese
celebrations.
Every foreigner In Tokio was deeply im
pressed by tonight's remarkable demon
stration, coming as It did. from an
ordinarily undemonstrative people.
Series of Entertainments.
The entire day was taken up by a series
of elaborate entertainments to Admiral
Sherry and the other Admirals of the
American fleet and their aides. The
American fleet commander together with
the other Admirals and their aides will
leave Tokio at J P. M., October 23. when
the scene of celebrations will be changed
from this city to Yokohama and will
close with a reception on board the flag
ship Connecticut on next Saturday.
At the dinner given by Minister of For
eign Affairs Komura tonight, the Minister
In proposing the health of Kear-Admiral
Sperry. said he was bidding him a reluct
ant good-bye. He only asked the Admiral
to take back to the people of the United
States the message of good will and
kindly feeling seen on every face and
heard in every voice of tens of thousands,
which was a sure reflection of the senti
ments of the loyal subjects of the Em
pire. Japan never forgot, said Minister
Komura that in her hour of stress she
had not looked In vain to the great Re
public for sympathy, while In her for
ward struggle she had had the example
and encouragement of the American peo
ple. ,
Rear-Admiral Sperry, In replying,
earnestly said that the character of the
welcome given the fleet by Japan could
not be mistaken and It must be per
petuated for generations for no better
gauge of lasting friendship could be given
than the banzals of the tens of thousands
of children massed In the streets.
Nations Clasp Hands.
"No two countries," Bald the Admiral,
"ever clasped bands across the sea closer
than on this occasion. Both countries
may rest content that intelligent, friend
ly sympathy has drawn the ancient
friendly ties closer than ever before."
During an Interlude of the magnificent
theatrical entertainment given tonight by
the Bankers' Club, Rear-Admiral Sperry,
the other Rear-Admirals and their aides
appeared on the stage together with a
committee of bankers on behalf of whom
Baron Shibusawa presented the Ameri
cans with an eloquent address of wel
come which was engrossed and Illumi
nated and enclosed in a handsome box.
On receiving the Admiral, Rear-Admlral
Sperry gracefully expressed his thanks.
At Yokohama today 300 girls, all pupils
of a music school, visited the flagship
Connecticut and sang American Nation il
airs in English. The Japanese girls all
carried American flags and on leaving
the ship in lighters sang "Hail Colum
bia," all the way across the bay.
Major Pays High Tribute.
The official luncheon of the Mayor was
an extremely elaborate affair. In his
address Sir. Oxakl expressed the -most
sincere gratitude of the nation for Amer
ica's evidence of a friendly support of
Japan in sending the fleet to Yokohama.
I may be touching a delicate subject,
but I feel that I would be doing less
than mv dutv If I failed to convey the
assurance that in this welcome the real
heart of the Japanese nation speaks to
the heart of the great American Nation.
We ask you to send to your people this
message: 'Japan believes that war be
tween America and Japan would be a
crime against the past, the present and
the future of both countries. We sincerely
believe that the great navy, which you are
so proud to possess, and we are so proud
to welcome, stands for those sublime prin
ciples which in supreme moments can rise
above the question of race and color. We
are your friends forever."
