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
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 his 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. Shimizu. 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 the 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, grizzled warrior’s character
At 3 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
coin 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 I-'rancis 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 full 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 feet of the statue. Then 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 few 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

DEMAND INCREASE IN PENSIONS
Entire Naval Reserva Quite Work —
Torpedo Boats Carry Mail
on Mediterranean.
Paris, June 1__ A general strike of
sailors and others belonging to the
French naval reserve began at almost
all the ports of France at daylight to­
day and threatens the complete paraly-
sie o f French commerce. The naviga
tion committees are making energetic
repreeentetions to the government, say­
ing that the movement is not directed
against them and that unless it is set­
tled immediately it will cause untold
injury to French commerce.
The naval reserves 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 o f the mercantile trade, most
o f the longshoremen belong to the na
val reserve.
The strike was declared by the ex
ecutiv.e committee of the National Sea­
men’s Union because the government’s
new bill increasing pensions from
$40.80 to $72.50 in the case o f seamen
and from $156 to $200 in the case of
captains is regarded as inadequate.
The tie-up ia almost complete at the
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-At­
lantic Steamship Company announced
today that neither La Provence nor La
Gascogne will be able to sail for New
York tomorrow, both crews having
abandoned their ships. Similar condi
tlons prevail at Bordeaux.
O fficials of the French line have re
quested the government to land them
crews from the state naval depots, but
no reply has yet been received. Le
gaily 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 compromise.
At Marseilles the sailors and long­
shoremen struck almost to a man, and
all the fishermen drew up their nets.
The strike is as complete at Havre,
but up to this evening the men had
not struck at Brest. At Toulon the
strike is complete; at Dunkirk and
Nantes the men are going out, and at
Rouen the longshoremen have aban­
doned their work.
The men are well behaved, and as
an instance o f the sentiments back of
the strike there is the fact that har­
bor watches have been provided by tbs
strikers for all ships in port.

Strike of 10,000 Ironworkers in San
Francisco Is Settled.
San Francisco, June 1__ The first
rift in the cloud of strikes and unset­
tled labor conditions which has over­
shadowed San Francisco for many
weeks occurred today, when the strike
of 10,000 ironworkers was amicably
settled. The men went ont several
weeks ago to enforce a demand for an
eight-hour workday and an increase in
wages. This resulted in dosing the
Union Iron Works, the Fulton Iron
Works and all the foundries, machine
shops and iron works, not only in San
Francisco, but in all the bay eities.
The settlement was brought about
by the active work o f a conciliation
committee composed of delegates from
the commercial organizations, the fed­
erated churches, Civil Leagua and
peace committee o f the Labor Council.
The men return to work npon the
same conditions of hours and wages as
prevailed when they struck, and whieh
shall remain in effect for 18 months.
The committee from the Metal
Trades Association, representing the
employers, conceded that commencing
December 1, 1908, there shall be a re­
duction o f 15 minutes in the workday
every six months until an eight hour
day is reached June 1, 1910, which
shall be in effect thereafter.

Clamante Wonts to Make Example of
Prominent Lawbreaker.
Chicago, May 29.—A dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington, D. C ,
says:
“ The Interstate Commerce Com­
mission bas entered upon a more rad­
ical policy in the treatment of cor­
porations which persist in violating
the law. Possessed of authority to
investigate every phase of railroad
business, and having the power to
bring about the punishment of indi­
viduals as well as corporations, the
commission is pushing its work with
determination. Commissioner
Jud-
son C. Clements, of Georgia, who has
had 15 years’ service, yesterday, said:
"One of the most wholesome things
that could happen would be putting
in jail some man of prominence in the
railroad world. It would do more
than anything else to bring better
conditions.
“ It would not be necessary to put
in jail all the men who ought to be
there. Just one or two who hold
high positions in the social and busi­
ness world should be put behind bars.
This would act as a powerful deter­
rent, for men then would hesitate to
jeopardize their positions and safety."
Questions of criminal prosecution
by the commission have been dele-
;ated to Franklin K. Lane, of Cali-
ornia, one of the most energetic and
conservative members. When Mr.
Lane was asked, “ Are you going to
send somebody in the railroad world
to jail?" he replied: “ I hope that it
will not be necessary. If the rail­
roads comply with the law we will
get along most harmoniously, but if
the law is broken, then there will be
trouble.”
"D o you intend to have Edward H.
Harriman prosecuted?”
“ That whole subject is under con­
sideration by the commission. If
Harriman has been guilty of any in­
fraction of the act to regulate com­
merce, he will, as a matter of course,
be prosecuted—not at all because he
is Harriman, but because he is an of­
fender against the law.”

Governor O f ColoradoSays Men With­
out Ambition Ara Worthless.
Denver, Colo., May 29.—The idle
rich were given a scoring by Governor
Henry A. Buchtel in his Memorial
Day address to veterans of the Civil
War last night. The chief executive
of the state agreed with President
Roosevelt, whom he quoted to the ef­
fect that the idle rich should be
knocked in the head. These strong
words caused the veterans to sit up
and take notice.
Mr. Buchtel’s subject was "The
Character of Roosevelt.” The church
was crowded with veterans. The at­
tack on the rich made by the gov­
ernor for the moment made the veter­
ans turn their thoughts from the day
to the conditions of the present time.
The reference to "death for the idle
rich” was made in a story of a
wealthy student. His professor asked
him what he intended to do when he
finished college. The young man re­
plied:
“ D o you know, professor, there does
not appear to be anything in the
world quite worth while."
“ When President Roosevelt was
told this,” the governor continued,
“ he arose, pounded his fist on the
table and said:
“ ‘ Professor, do you know that fel­
low ought to be knocked in the
head.’
“And he ought to have knocked him
in the head. Such people, without
ambition and without purpose, are
valueless to the country, and ought
to be knocked in the head."
Cotton Worke>s Rejoice.
Boston, Mass., May 29__ The gen­
eral upward movement in the wages
of New England cotton mill opera­
tives today affected about 85,000 oper­
atives in Rhode Island, Southeastern
and Western Massachusetts, Ames-
bury, Massachusetts, Vermont and
other places in Southern New Eng­
land. The advance in the sections
named amounts to about 10 per cent.
Early next month it is expected an
increase of 5 per cent will be given in
many mills in other manufacturing
districts. The cotton mills of New
England employ upward of 200,000
hands when the machinery is fully
manned.
