TOKIO, Oct. 22,-The capital of
Japan witnessed tonight a most ex
traordinary evidence of the spirit of
New Japan, After his audience with
th officers of the American battle
ship fleet on Tuesday, the Emperor
issued an order directing the people
to increase in every way possible
the enjoyment, comfort and pleasure
of the American visitors who came,
he said, as historic friends of the'
Japanese nation, A response to this
mandate was seen and heard tonight
Originally a torchlight procession of
15,000 people was planned, but this
feature went far beyond the expec-
tation and was participated in, by a
demonstration which would make
Japan's war celebration after peace
with Russia and even a New York's.
election night revel seem almost in-
significant. It would be impossible '
to estimate the number of people
who took part in the parade. Admiral
Sperry and other officers of the fleet
viewed the spectacle from a special-
ly constructed stand, "but were com-
pclled to leave before the procession
finished. Every band in Tokio turn -
ed put and their favorite airs were
"Yankee poodle," -Dixie," and"
"John Brown." The. entire day was
taken up in elaborate entertainments
to Admiral Sperry, the other admir
als and their aide. Sperry will leave
Tokkr tomorrow when the scene of
celebrations will change from this
city to Yokohama and will close with
a reception on board the flagship
Connecticut on Saturday.

True to his Astoria assignment,
ex-Captain Richard Pearson Hobson,
U. S. N., now Congressman from the
Sixth District of Alabama, and ora-tor-at-largc
in behalf of the national
Democratic ticket, arrived . here on
the 11:50 train yesterday 1 morning.
He was met at the. A. & C. depot by
a group of rock-ribbed Democrats of
this city and section, among whom
were Hon. Herman Wise, County
Judge C. J.. Trenchard, Dr. O. B.
Estes and Manager James T, Wal
lace, of the County Democratic Cen
tral Committee. None of the party
knew the distinguished visitor,, by
sight, but Mayor Wise- saw Mr.
Traviss, of Eugene, alight , from
the train, and knowing; that gentle
man and that he knew Captain Hob
son well, hurried the crowd tip to
Traviss and greeted him with the
inquiry as to where the expected or
ator was, and who he was, only to
be met by the startling announce
ment from the supposed Eugenite,
that "I am Captain Hobson, gentle
men"; whereupon there was a vivid
pause, and then the party got itself
together, and proceeded to make the
brilliant young Congressman under
stand that he was in the hands of
some pretty good friends.
Dr. Estes put the party in his big
utomohile (which was handsomely
draped in the national colors for the
occasion), and drove them to the

where from 1000 to 2000 names and
to prevent the casting of fraudulent

appointed a state law committee

about 500 attorneys and that on
election day these attorneys will be
assisted by special deputies in each
election district to see that the bal-
lots be cast honorably, ,
Chairman Mack declared tonight
that the change in Taft's plans by
which he will speak in 34 cities and
towns in this state instead of only
a few of the larger cities, as prev

Republican managers feel the su-

more than 20,000 stokers who as a

EVANSVILLE, Ind.,! Oct. 22.-
During this the first ' of the three
days he is to speak in Indiana, Judge
Taft has talked to more people than
on any previous day of his campaign.
In each of his sixteen speeches the
listeners and applauders have num
bered thousands. : Rejuvenated in
voice, energy and enthusiasm, by his
one day of' rest, the candidate
handled the campaign "with an even
greater degre of ( postiveness than
heretofore. In the first speech he
made1 he ridiculed ' Bryan's charges
of "Bribery" in connection with
promises of employers to their em
ployes of more work with republican
success and orders of business men
for goods said to be contingent
upon the same results. These were
not bribes he said, but business.

Brandenburg says he had proper
authority from Mrs. Cleveland and
