Scenes i11 Japan.
When the Emperor returned to Tokio
more than 2,000,000 of tie loyal subjeote
were there to greet him. Last September
when the Japanese array embarked for
China, he went to Hiroshima, one of the
moet easterly porta of the inland sea, so
thea be might be 700 miles nearer the
seat of war and oommunicate more ooh-
veniently with his nfficers. There is an
impression among the people, which is
not shared, however, by all the foreigners,
that hie Majesty took; personal direotion
of the movemeu2s of the army, and that
be had at one time an intention of ex-
posing his sacred person to the hardships
and dangers of the field. But, however
this may be, he bas been at Hiroshima
ever since last September, and now
comes back to the oapital in the midst
of a great demonstration, in which all
parties and factions and all classes of
people join with equal enthusiasm.
The Japanese are masters of the de-
corative art, and their taste and skill
were most lavishly displayed in adorn•
went, not only on the buildings and
streets of the cities, but in the fields and
farms and paddy fields along the line of
the railway. The distance from Yoko-
hama, the priaoipal seaport, to Tokio, the
capital, is eighhteen miles, on both sides
of the track, was a continuous display of
bunting and garlands of green. The rail-
way stations, the switch houses and the
telegraph poles were laden with color.
highways
r
and where the hi't, s cross

y
arches of oryptomeria-a sort of soft.
leaved fir -were erected and inscribed
with white designs presenting the Em-
peror's inital9 ; the obrysanthemum,
which is his creat, words of welcome and
pledgee of loyalty. In the bunting only
the national colors were used -red and
white -but there were a great many large
white flags bearing inscriptions in Japan•
ase characters, which were very decorate
in themselves.
And from one to the other the en-
tire
tire population were gathered along the
hedges end fences that separate the rail -
.way right of way from the little tea
farms, so that his Majesty actually
passed between two solid walls of his sub-
jects for at least eighteen miles. And he
was received with utmost silence; which
seemed rather strange to ns Westerners,
but until meetly the Emperor has never
been cheered. This people, who do al-
most everything in the manner opposite
to what we are accustomed, have always
considered silence the highest form of
respect. But after his train had passed
opt of hearing their pout -up emotions
found relief in shoots and caperings, the
waving of handkerchiefs and the flaunt-
ing of flags.
When he reached Tokio, however,
where the people have•eagnired modern
ideas, there was a shout of welcome that
came from 100,000 throats. It was the
single 'word, •'Banzae,' which means
literally "ten thousand years," and is
need as an equivalent for the old salute
that you read of in the Scriptures, wbeo
subjects shouted to their sovereign, "0h,
king, live forever 1"
Nor is it proper to look down upon
the sacred person of the Mikado. You
must always look up to him. Therfore
the upper windows of the houses on the
streets through which be passed were
eloped and curtained. There might have
been some peeping from behind, but it
was the height of disrespect.
The train stopped long enough et Yo-
kohama for a brief and rather interesting
ceremony. The city was decorated from
one end to the other. Going through the
principal one had to pass under arches of
flags and through almost endless, lines of
lanterns of red andhi r
w to pope and of
,groteeque shapes, which were all illumin-
ated fn the evening. The railway station
handsomely decorated, and not outside
of it, in what might be called the switch.
ing yard, and enclosure had been arrang-
ed in which the ceremonies of welcome',
took place. The expenee of the decor-
ation was met by popular subscriptions.
Each person who gave $1 was Riven a
medal of brass bearing the Emperor's
name, the date, and an inscription de-
noting the ocoasfon. Only those who
Wore such medals were admitted to the
enclosure to witness the ceremony, and
the natives who could procure them at
the city hall upon the payment of the
subscription. Those tubo wanted to pay
a little more could get medals of silver,
and those wbo were very liberal could
get them of gold. Foreigners were not
invited to partleipate, and several Euro.
peens were refused medals. But any
American citizen could get one if he
Jibed.
The Emperor, however, did not leave
hie car at 'Yokohama, but the mayor
of the city read the address to . the,
members of his escort, eulogizing
his Majesty and congratulating him
upon the trhnmphant closing of the war.
The Minister of the Imperial Howse.
hold replied in appropriate terms on
behalf of the sovereign. 'A committee
of municipal counciland the city stesem-
bly then presented baskets of flowers, and
dimity the chairman of the reception
committee presented a bta'utifnl tray of
lacquer work filled with cakes, which is

various commercial and other eivle or.
ganiyatione, 04011 under Ito own banner.
The decoratiouo at Tokio, were more
elaborate, and there were throe arehee of
evergreen whiohaumassed in magnificence
anything I over saw. The railway
station was effectively decorated with
garlands, wreaths and bunting, while in
front' of it was an arelt 200 feet wide at
the base and 80 feet high. It was made
of eryptemoria timber, while on both
sides were worked, in red and white,, the
imperial chrysanthemum and insorip•
blocs of welcome. Another arch of
similar design was created in front of
the 0ntranee to lbs palace grounds, but
the third, that stood opposite thehouse
of Parliament surpassed them all.
Ib consisted of a colonnade of arches
each 70 feet span and 70 feet in height,
the entire etrnoture being 300 yards from
end to end, At each end was a oasbollat•
ed tower, and in the center a donne of
green 100 feet in height, surmounted by
the national oolore. While the effeot in
the daytime was very impressive, at
night it was much heightened by the glow
of 1,800 colored electric lights arranged
along the edges in the form of a border,
and on the sides in the Emperor's greet
and the inibale of his name.
The publio buildings were handsomely
decorated, as were the private dwellings,
while the business streets were most
liberally adorned with flags, banners and
lanterns of every possible design and
bearing innumerable inseripbione. The
ehippiog in the bay was alive with ban-
ners, and just before reaohingthe city
where the railway skirts the shore, 1,000
or more sampans wore drawn up in line
and lashed togetber. They were covered
with most ingenious designs and crowded
with people. In a little plaza near the
railway station was a large miniature
ship of war, aad in every direction
through milea and miles of streets were
signs of great originality and artistic
skill
And the masses of people that thronged
the streets and parks and paradegeounds 1
Tokio bas 1,600,000 people, and there are
probably 10,000,000 within a radius of 50
miles. Shimoea and Musaohi, the two
southeastern provinces of Japan, are
among the most deeply peopled parts
of the earth, and it seemed as if the
whole population was there. The wide
streets were filled from wall to wall with
a dense stream of humanity slowly moo-
ing along, with here and there one of
those exaggerated baby carriages they
call jinrikshas, of which there are 30,000
in Tokio. And there was never a more
g0
od•natnred or a happier throes. Every-
body
body was laughing and shouting, and
some witticism or accident would ocone-
ionally cause a shout in wbioh everybody
participated. There was no drunken-
ness, no quarrelling, no rudeness-wltioh;
I am told, ie the invariable characteristic
of a Japanese crowd. They are altogether
the happiest people in the world.
Amusement is universal. Everybody
laughs. Japan has been called the king-
dom of merry dreams. It ie equally the
kingdom of merry wakefulness.
The nobles and other social aad politi-
cal swells all wore stovepipe hate and
dress suits, and some of them were most
comical caricatures. The silk bat is worn
in Japan only on the most solemn oacas-
ions-weddings, funerals, and royal cere-
monies -and every man who pretends to
be anybody keeps one in stook. As he
never wears it out, the same hat not only
lasts a lifetime, but is handed down from
generation to generation, like the Mikado's
orown. Many of those on the street were
evidently bought over soon after Com.
modore Perry came, and the rest must
have come in instalments since 1808, for
they represented every fashion of bead -
gear abuse that date. Gen. Williams, of
Washington, who is generally a -truth•
fal man, asserts that many years ago an
enterprising speculator bought up all the
obsolete plug bats in Europe and sent
them over here. They made a ship load,
and he sold them out at a large profit.
The Emperor arrived promptly on
time. His train was due at the Tokio
station et 2 o'clock. Five minutes after
he was seated in the imperial carriage
listening to the songs of thousands of
school children who had been gathered
in front of the railway station to greet
him. Then he was driven rapidly
through the principal streets and parka
of the oity to the palace, preceded and
followed by an escort of lancers who rode
stumpy little horses in a most awkward
fashion.
The line of march was roped off on
either side of the roadway and patrolled
by thousands of policemen. Behind the
rope was a solid mase of people tine en•
tire distance, and soaroely a beetle or a
shop was without some handsome decor.

points along the road were groups of

by two large black horses, whose har-

wore European livery, with silk•stook-

were of blue broadcloth, with wide soils
