In honor of the birthday of the em
peror of Japan, an elaborate banquet
iM given last evening at the, Portland
hotel by Yasutaro Numano, Japanese
eonsul In this city. The occasion wai
notable for the spirit of cordiality and
food will which pervaded the remarks
of the speakers, and for' the aug-urles
of close commercial alliance and friend
ship between this nation and the Island
empire.
Mr- Numano, the host of the evening;,
has pained distinction la the diplo
matic service of Japan, having filled
important positions both In Europe and
the orient. His appointment to the
'" consulate of Portland Is viewed as a
strong indication of the desire of the
.Japanese government to cultivate still
closer commercial relations with this
port i
In hfn remarks Mr. Kumsno laid
- stress upon the amicable relations that
have existed between the two nations
in the past, and declared that the idea
that Japan desires war with this coun
try Is utterly mistaken. In well chosen
words he dwelt u;on the mikado's ap
7rectstlon of the advantages which had
resulted from the intercourse of his
people with America and upon his de-
- sire that the bonds be cemented which
. unite the two countries.
. James Laidlaw, the British consul,
was the first speaker of the evening,
lespondlngr to the- toast "His Majesty
the Emperor of Japan." Mr. Numano

president of the United States, and
Mayor Lane spoke briefly In behalf of
the city of Portland. ; C. P. Swigert.

- ( mission, replied to :the toast, "The State
of Oregon,'' laying; special stress upon
the benefits thst will result to com
merce between the United States and
Japan when the Columbia river has been
deepened.
B. Ohta, who represents Jn the Pa
ri fie northwest some of the most ex
tensive commercial interests of his
, countrymen, alluded to the his tor io vls
, it of Commodore -Perry to, Japan, and
said:
' Wedding- of JTstloaa,
"Curiously enough. Commodore Perry
. net sail for Japan in the very same year
that our emperor, whose birthday we
are celebrating, was born. It was the
year 1852. and not only ihe same year
.but the same month, November. Gen
tlemen, If the visit of Commodore
Perry to Japan, from which the pres
ent close andrbordlal relations originate
, ed, can be called the wedding day of
.the two countries, we are now approach-
Inr our diamond wedding. For so many1
years the United States has been kind
and warm-hearted. I trust and hope
, that this hospitality 'rill continue for-
ever io us. tne Detter hair.

"The aDnointment of a man trained
from early youth in the diplomatic serv
ice 01 nis country in oajigsoK. in
Seoul, and finally for three years as
vice consul in London, is a marked
honor to Portland, and is a significant
incident of the policy of conciliation
which that government has adopted to
ward all the nations of, the earth, and
especially toward the 'United States,
where trifling complications, that have
since been easily settled by diplomatic
measures, were magnified by a sensa
tional press into a genuine casus belli.
War Most Improbable,
"While I would utter no word of
opposition to a policy of complete de
fense against even unforeseen contin
gencies, I contend that any hostile ac
tion toward this country on the part of
our nearest Asiatic neighbor. Is not only
improbable, but preposterous at least
under present conditions, or under any
that are likely to occur In the near fu
ture. s
"I woqld, however, dwell upon the
adoption of the policy of peace as the
one toward which Japan is naturally
disposed, rather than to treat it as the
outcome of . her' necessities. The im
pression is very strong that Japan is a
warlike nation, which Is quite true in
the sense that she is able to fight when
necessary to maintain her integrity,, but
not in the sense that she consider war
a pastime. Witness her patient and
pacific efforts to accomplish the per
formance of the conditions of existing
treaties before making war on Russia,
the success of which would have meant
peace, and peace with honor.
"We all know that at the close of
the war with China she was. In the
hour of her triumph, robbed of the fruits
of her victory and compelled to see
southern Manchuria turned over to Rus
sia, already in practical control of the
northern part of that province which
adjoins her vast territory that stretches
from the Ural mountains to the Pacific
ocean. With Korea thus encircled by
Russian Influence, its conquest was a
foregone conclusion, and Korea has
been likened to a dagger pointed at the
heart of Japan.
Praises Bldsr Statesmen.
"Her far-seeing ministers known by
the fascinating title of 'The Elder
Statesmen" were quiek to see their
country's peril, and at once silently
even secretly and patiently, -with dog
ged determination and Indomitable will,
set about the preparation of her defense,
snowing well, from the history of her
powerful enemy, from her progress to
ward the rising sun. her passionate
longing for egress into warm waters
through the Dardanelles, the Persian
gulf, and finally through the Tellow
sea, that all the resources of diplomacy
would ran to avert a struggle, the re
suit of which would be. In case Jannn
was unsuccessful, that she would be
wepi jiiio me sea.
"So arsenals were constructed and
replenished, navy yards were founded,
warships were built and purchased, and
an army formed out of her victorious
tegions, recruited by the hardy labor
ers of the mountains, the valleys, the
workshops and the coal .mines, while
even the children were trained for the
Held by a Spartan system of education.
"The people of Japan, especially those
who made -up the rank and file of the
army ana navy, cannot nave naa an ap
preciation of the peril to the nation.
And so the question arises, 'What was
me compelling force that moved them
te respond as one man to the call of
the ministers? Was it the lust of war
that scented the battle afar off? Was it
the mere desire of mercenaries to earn
their living? Or was It something else?
The answer .brings us to the considera
tion of the distinguishing character
istic and most notable quality of the
Japanese people, the only one that I
attempt to discuss tonight, and that
answer is "patriotism.'
Quotes Oeneral Xuropatkln.
'In all the world's story before their
time there Is no precedent for the
matchless enthusiasm with which these
people sprang to the nation's defense,
fought for it, lived for it and died for
It. The great Russian soldier. General
Kuropatkln, says:
"'I saw a beautiful land, filled with
an Industrious population; intense ac
tivity prevailed everywhere, and I was
impressed by the people's joy in living,
their love of their country -and their
faith In the future, Their war was a
national war; Japan spent 10 years In
preparing for it, and then the whole
nation carried it out; the soldiers
fought with a self -sacrificing devotion,
and stubbornness that we had never
seen they were ready to die rather
than to retreat or surrender. Hundreds
of men volunteered to undertake the
most desperate enterprises, in the face
or certain aeatn; ana many oincers ana
soldiers, before coins to the front, ha 1
funeral services performed over their
Domes to snow mat tney intended to dlo
for their native land.' "
Japanese in Portland.
The Japanese Community in Port
land," was the theme of remarks by
8. Ban. whose lone residence in this
city and large business interests gave
added force to his remarks. He com
mented upon the extraordinary srowth
of commerce between his own country
and the United States, Japanese Im-
rons naving- grown irom z,i,ozy in
M2 to $52,143,264 in 19(6. In the same
period there was a corresponding In
crease In the exports from Japan to
this country, the value of such ex
ports In 1905 being only about $6,000,000
less than the imports in the same year.
Mr. Ban dwelt upon the future of Port
land and Oregon and upon the desire
of the Japanese government to promote
closer relations with this port and this
country. '
Right Kev. Blshoo Bcaddlnsr was the
concluding speaker and spoke briefly
upon the influence of Christianity upon
Japan.

Improvement
This advice was given as the result
of an investigation into the rights of ,
D. E. Keasey, who proved that he is en
titled to the use or a roadway through I
Governor's park. Such roadways, Mr. I
Mische says, seriously -interfere with the
f lans of the park management and if I
hey are" allowed by law hereafter will j
prove a misfortune. He asks that the
city attorney be requested to find out
what are the- rignts or individuals in
Macleay and Governor's parks and
make a report on his findings at Its next
meeting.
This Is necessary so that the Dark
keeper will know what he has authority
to do with regard to fencing off these I
roadways. He reports that some of
these so fenced off have been reopened 1
by the individuals who used them. I
The Dark keeper states that the
board's jurisdiction over that street shade
trees in the city is farcical unless the
city shall be empowered to maintain the :
well being of the trees.
A nomenclature committee Is recom-
mended in the report snd if this sug- I
gestion is adopted Mr. Mische thinks the '
names of Alblna Homestead, City and ,
other parks should be changed for more :
