• ■! the battie ot Mukden, where Gen­
eral Kuroki led the Japanese right
wing.
General Baron Tememolo Kuroki,
the great Japanese warrior, who shud­
dered not at the terrible battle »cenes
in the Japanese Russian war, shrank
yesterday from the bloody killing
doors at the Union stockyards It
was at Swift & Co's plant that the
Japanese first got his view of the
commercial slaughter of the porker».
As the stalwart butcher plunged h.s
knife into the hog s throat, the aged
general sprang to one »ide, deeply af­
fected.
General O. E Wood, of the United
States Army, who was in charge of
the Japanese visitors, noticed General
Kuroki's agitation, and. holding up hi»
hands, gave the signal to go on.

At the stockyards lhe generai gazed
with amazement at the droves of cat­
tle and watched with undisguised in­
terest the packers of the meat indus­
try. He saw the hog killing at Swift
A Co'», the canning at McNeil &
I.ibby's, the office and sausage room
of the Nelson Morris plant, and the
killing and dressing of beef in the
wholesale market at Armour’». 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
catt’e passed into the finished product
ready for 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.
