General Baron Tememoto Kuroki,
the great Japanese warrior, who shud
dered not at the terrible battle scenes
in the Japanese-Russian war, shrank
yesterday from the bloody killing
floors at the Union stockyards. It
was at Swift St Co.'s plant that the
Japanese first got his view of the
commercial slaughter of the porkers.
As the stalwart butcher plunged his
knife into the hog's throat, the aged
feneral sprang to one side, deeply ai
ected. General O. E. Wood, of the United
States Army, who was in charge of
tne Japanese visitors, noticed ucnerai
Kuroki's agitation, and, holding up his
hands, gave the signal to go on.
General Kuroki and his party
passed two busy hours in the stock
yards, which closed with a luncheon
at the Saddle and Sirloin Club. Pre
ceding his visit to the packing firm,
General Kuroki paid his respects to
Mayor Dusse at the city hall, smiled
at the unique position in which the
Columbus fountain was "squeezed" up
against the building, and commented
on the beauty of Michigan avenue as
a drive.
At the stockyards the general gazed
with amazement at the droves of cat
tle and watched with undisguised in
terest the Backers of the meat indus
try. He saw the hog-killing at Swift
& Co.'s, the canning at McNeil Si
Libby's, the office and sausage room
of the Nelson Morris plant, and the
killing and dressing of beef in the
wholesale market at Armour's. He
shook hands heartily with the owners
and managers of the different plants,
asked hundreds of questions, and
smiled at the rapidity with which the
cattle passed into the finished product
ready tor shipment. He .was especial
ly interested in the United States
Government inspection of meats, and
the methods of seal-tight packing of
products for shipment to the Orient
Re-count of New York Election.

the assembly bill providing for a re
count of the ballots cast in the Mc-Clellan-Hearst
mayoralty election of
1905 in New York City. The bill is
one of the measures urged for pas

provides that upon petition of cither

of the vote. The recount of the bal

Will Postpone Ruefs Sentence.
San Francisco, May 30. Tomorrow
is the day set for the sentencing of
Abraham Rcuf on the charge to which
lie pleaded guilty two weeks ago of
extorting $1,125 from Proprietor Mai-
fanti, of Delmonicos Restaurant, on
a threat to prevent the renewal of
Malfantrs liquor license. Rcuf will
appear, the prosecution will move the
postponement of sentencing, and
Judge Dunne will acquiesce. The
prosecution prefers to delay Reuf's
punishment until after he has ap
peared as a witness.

ration, but Kuroki wore the rcaiiy
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 tlut
Chicagoans probably will remember
as the one thing more than any other
which gave an insight into the brown,
little, grizzled warrior's character.
M 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
coln 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 Francis 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, nresented 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 ol his omcers, raised
the wreath and placed it revenentiy
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
Dctroits here Saturday.

When the bark was taken off the tree
the surface was very rough, present

Peasants Rebel Against Leasing of
Farms for Grazing,
Dublin. May 31. The latest phase
of the land agitation in the congested
districts of Ireland is taking the form
of a crusade against the holders of
grazing farms on the 11 months'
lease system, and is developing with
great rapidity. Kings County and
North Tipperary are the centers of
noting. In bygone days these coun
tries saw many evictions, and today the
peasants are determined that the land
shall be redistributed to small hold
ers. Reports are received daily of the
gathering of large bands of peasants,
who destroy gates and fences and
clear the grazing ranches of cattle,
which they drive back over miles of
country to the farm of the owners.
In two cases men who had leased
ranches were compelled to abandon
their homes because of intimidation.
There have been serious conflicts be
tween the police and peasants, and
many persons on both sides have
been injured. There have been
numerous prosecutions, but the sym
pathy with the peasants is so strong
that in one of two instances even the
magistrates have declined to concur
in the conviction of the disturbers of
the peace, one magistrate even going
so far as to declare himself ready to
go to prison with the defendant.

PUT RAILROAD MEN IN JAIL.
Clements Wants to Make Example of
Prominent Lawbreaker.
Chicago, May . A dispt..li to the
Tribune from Washington, D. C .
says.
"The Interstate Commerce Coin,

ical policy in the treatment of cor
porations which persist In violating
the law. Possessed of authority t
investigate every phase of railroad
business, ami liaviuu the power
bring about the punishment nf indl
vuUmIs as well as corporations, the
commission is pushing its work with
determination. Commissioner Jd
son C. Clements, of Georgia, who has
had 14 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 tlie men who ought to I
there. Jint one or two who hold
high positions in the social and biiai
ness world should be put behind 1mm.
I his would act a a powernu deter
rent, for men then would hesitate to
jeopardize their positions and safety"
Ouestkms'of criminal prosecution
by the commission have been dele
gated to Franklin K. Lane, of Cali
fornia, 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 nectssary. If the rait
roads comply with the law we will
get along most harmoniously, but if
the law is broken, then there will be
trouble.
"Do you intend to have F.dward II
Ilamman prosecuted r"
"That whole subject is Hn.ler con
sideration by the commission If
Mammaii lias been guilty of any in
fraction of the act to regulate com

be prosecuted not at all because he
is iiarriman, but because he is an of
