KUROKI DECORATES.
With Bared Head He Places Wreath

Chicago, May 31. 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

Baron Kuroki entered heartily into
the spirit of Memorial Day. Early
in the morning the warrior-viistor
and his stall 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. Shimizu. It was the
first time the Nipponese visitors had
worn their military unitorms. uen
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 the really
aluable emblem.
In the afternoon the general paid
ribute 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(

Paris, Juno 1. A general strike of
sailors and others belonging to tlio
French naval reserve began at almost
all tho ports of France at daylight to
day and throatens tho completo paraly
sis of French commerce. Tho naviga
tion committees are making enercetie
representations to tho government, say
ing that the movement is not directed
against them and that unless it is set
tled immediately it will causo untold
injury to French commerce.
Ihe naval reserves comprise nearly
tho entire maritime population engaged
in sea-faring lifo and number 117,000
men, of whom 25,000 aro serving in the
navy. In addition to practically all the
seamen of the mercantile trade, most
of tho longshoremen belong to the na-
U reserve.
The strike was declared by tho ex
ecutive committee of the National Sea
men's Union because tho government's
ew bill increasing pensions from,
$40.80 to $72.50 in the case of seamen
and from $15G to $200 in the case of
captains is regarded as inadequate.
The tie-up is almost completo at tho
Mediterranean, Atlantic and Channel
ports. The strikers generally left their
ships and the government commanded
the torpedo-boats and torpedo-boat de
stroyers to carry on the mail service
with the colonies and with Mediter
ranean ports. The French Trans-Atlantic
Steamship Company announced
today that neither La Provence nor La
Oascogne will be able to sail for New
York tomorrow, both crews having
abandoned their ships. Similar condi
tions prevail at Bordeaux.
