Jl : TAltt WITH JAPAN'S ' PREMIER Count Ito the Brain Force Behind the Jap anese Throne. HE DIFECTS 1H WAR U70N CHINA Count Inouyo the Ilcitil of tlio Itrforni Movriiii-ut In Corcii Did Ito 1'laii the \Vur7 Jupun'g Development lioilsloii ol Trcntlcs , ( CopjTlelited , 1E34 , by Frank Q. Carpenter. ) The new Japanese parliament Is now sit ting at Hiroshima , and Count Ito , the Japa nese premier , again has things all his own way. A year ago the members ot both houses were more or less against the gov- rnmeat , and the emperor had to peremptorily dissolve parliament last spring. The whole country was In an unsettled state. Utots had broken out In many ot the election pre cincts , and had It not beep , for the fact that the constitution of Japan , provides that when a parliament Is dissolved the budget of ap propriations for the year before shall be. con tinued In force without the act of parliament , the emperor would not have had the means to run h's government. This was the condi tion when the war was declared. This solidified tha people , and today they are , to a. man. In favor of almost everything that the administra tion proposes. All this was largely brought about by Count Ito , who Is , perhaps , the brainiest man in the whole Japanese empire , and whoso master mind Is directing the war against China. Ho Is the LI Hung Chang of Japan , and ho Is the power behind the throne which passes upon measures ot state policy , and which , It is whispered , Is , to a largo extent , the cause of tlio present war. Still , the world knows but little about him. Ho Is modest and retiring by nature , and he prefers to do rather than to bluster or talk. It Is by no means easy for a foreigner to get access to him , and during my stay In Tokyo , when the war clouds were gathering over Asia , the doors to his palace were closed even moro tightly than usual. Still , my let ters from the cabinet ministers at Washing ton and a special Introduction from the Japanese minister nt our national capital gave mo an appointment , and I had n chance to see something of him and to chat with him about the condition- the Japanese people. COUNT ITO'S ROMANTIC CAHEEU. put first , let me tell you something about Count Ito. Hla history reads like a romance , and It Is closely associated with that of Count Inouye , who has just gone to Corea to preside over the Introduction ot western civilization Into that land. The most of the history of Count Ito's life I got from himself , and other parts were told me by an English officer connected with the Japanese government , as we sat together ono night In the Roku Molkitan club In Tokyo. It Is wrapped up In the history ot modern Japan , In which Ito and Inouye have been the chief actors. They cauiu of good families , nnd their fathers were soldiers , and they ex pected to- serve In the army ol the Shoguns themselves. This was In the days when the Tycoon or Bhogun governed the country. Ho had a swell establishment at Tokyo , and the Ddlmlos and Samurai made up his army. They swelled about the country with big a word i at their sides , acting very much like it he "bad man ot Bitter Creek , " and they considered other people as having no lights which they were bound to respect. In the meantime- , the mikado was kept inside- the walls of his palace at Kioto , a sort of a sacred puppet , surrounded by his wives and his servants. Commodore Perry had made Ills treaty , with gunboats to back him , and tnere were foreign and anti-foreign parlies In Japan. Among the anti-foreigners were Ito and Inouyo. They thought that these pale-faced barbarians would ruin the country. They did not know much about them , but they understood they were at Yokohama hama , and they conspired to set up a narty and go there nnd clean the foreigners from the face ot Japan. Without letting- their superiors and parents know It about 100 of them sneaked out one dark night and left Tokyo to go to Yokohama. They tiul Gotten , half way when they found selves surrounded by soldiers. They fought their way out and returned to Tokyo. They soon learned , however , that the killing of the foreigners at Yokohama would only be the beginning of a great war with them. They went to the sea'coast and saw our warships , as they floated In the harbor beside their Japanese junks , and they saw that Japan could not successfully fight such things on the sea. Ito and Inouye wcro In the service of the prlnco of Choshlu , who was the chief of the anti-foreign fac tion , nnd the question of how to get rid of the foreigners was discussed everywhere. At last the two boys con cluded that the only safety for the country was In her having good ships and good guns , and they went to their prince and told him that they wanted to go to England with three other picked youths of their band. They said that they would study English customs , would go into the- gun works , and would master the great secret of naval supremacy , and bring It back to Japan. The Japanese could then build ships of their own , and these could put their guns over the country so that they could drive the hated foreigners away from their coasts. The prince was pleased with the Idea , and he gave them $8,000 and arranged with the British consul to ship them to Shanghai , from whence- they wereto go on to England. A M.IDNIGHT ESCAPE. Now , It was contrary to the commands of the Sliogun for any Japanese to leave the country without permission , and they feared they would bo detained , so they took a small boat one dark , rainy night , and were taken on a ship just about to depart for China. I took them some days to get to Shanghai , their money having been sent on , In the meantime , to one of the big English trading houses there , with orders to ship them to England. The orders were not very definite and as Ito and Inouyo could not speak English the merchants misunder stood thpm. and when they said over and over again the only two English words that they knew , "Navigation" and "London , " the merchants thought they wanted to be come sailors and go off to London , and In stead at sending them to London as pas sengers , with Instructions that they bo sent to a good naval school , they were shipped as common sailors on a sailing ship which went around the Cape of Good Hope. They had only a small amount of money with them , the rest having been sent on by draft , and this they &pent during their voyage. COUNT ITO'S ADVENTURES IN LONDON. The English olllcer told me of their trou bles In London. "The most of them , " said he , "occurred on the day that they landed. And I venture the darkest day ot Count Ito's lite was when he found himself wandering through the slums of the city without a cent In his pocket. The way It happened was this : The moment tha vessel reached the docks , the officers and crew departed and left the two Japanese boys to take care of them selves , They were dazed with the din and the sights and the confusion ot the great city. In the renter of millions of people , they know not which way to turn , nor whither to go. The cook was gone , and the locker was shut , and there was not a bit of food to be had. They waited some time , ex pecting that the merchants might send for them , but after ashllo they grew so hun gry that they decided to go out and buy something to eat. They had ? 3 left , but they did not know the value of money In England. They thought , however , that this would buy them Bomo boiled rice and a good meal of row fish. Taking a paper with them , Count Inouyo marked on It a diagram ot the route as they went In order to find their way back to the ship , and a'fter devious wanderings they came nt last to a bakery. There were loaves of bread on the counter , and Ito , who was carrying tha money , not knowing the orice , laid down his { 3 and picked up a loaf Ho had no Idea how much It was worth , and be mpposeil that the baker would give him some change. The baker taw lie was a foreigner and swept the whole ot the } 3 Into ( lie till. The boys then started to go back to the ship , but Count Inouye found that he had lost the diagram. They walked the streets of Lon don for hours , and it was duek before they not to the wharves. They ate their bread , however , and the next day a messenger from the merchant to whom their money was con signed , came for them and took them In charge. They used their time well. They spent some time In studying Hngllih manners and customs. They looked Into the army and navy , and their bright minds teen grasped the fact that Japan could never make a suc cessful struggle against such wealth , and such a mighty nation as that about them. They considered It their duty to go back and tell the prince what they had learned. ATTEMPTED KILLING OF INOUYEj "Tho two boys had some trouble In getting back to Japan , and they finally made their way Into the presence of their prince nnd told him their storyT It was by no means well received , for he was fighting the for eigners at the- time , and his hatred of them was great , The soldiers were exceedingly angry at the suggestion that the foreigners were stronger than they nnd equally brave , and when Inouye left the castle ono night he was set upon by a mob and slashed and hacked and left for dead by tne roadside. He recovered consciousness and was able to crawl to his mother's houte , and it was only by careful nursing that he was brought back to life , and ho bears on his face today the scars of the wounds he received during the night. Shortly after the time the Shogun gun was put down , and , the revolution was organized by which the mikado again became the real ruler of the people , and the western civilization gradually worked its way In. In every movement toward modern progress both Ito nnd Inouye have been in the front , and It Is duo largely to them that Japan now stands shoulder to shoulder with any modern nation on the globe. Count Ito has long- been the most Influential and powerful of all the Japanest statesmen , and ho Is now pushing the civilization of which ho got his first knowledge In this romantic way Into the land of Corea and there Is no telling but that his ambition may be the eventual revolution izing of China Itself. He is certainly a most remarkable man , and all the diplomats who have met htm speak of his wonderful ability. He had an Interview with Li Hung Chang not long ago , and during it LI changed his views of Japan , which he had thought up to that tlmo were dangerous to China , but Ito told him that Japan and China should be friends , and that It was to their Interest to work together. I am told that Ito at this time really believed this to be the case , but ho has since evidently changed his opinion. " A TALK WITH COUNT ITO. I arranged , strange to say , for my talk with Count Ito by telephone.Think of It ! Telephones In the land of Japan. I called up his prlvato secretary , nnd was told that the count had gotten my letter , and would receive mo at 4 o'clock sharp that after noon. In a Jlnrlksha , with two men to haul me , I rode along the edge of the moats which surround the palace grounds , passed the new Parliament buildings , and on up by the American legation. Into what Is now the most fashionable part of the Japanese capital. It Is made up of modern buildings surrounded by large yards , so walled In that they look like the fashionable suburbs of a European capital. Count Ito's house- was a large one , of two stories , built of brick , with a great porte cochere running out above the front door. A Japanese but ler , in brass buttons and European clothes , received my card , and showed mo Intoa parlor as large as the- blue room of the white house. It was furnished'In foreign style , and was , to my eyes , not half so pretty as many of the pure Japanesehomes. . I waited a moment , when a dark-faced , heavy- man , of perhaps 10 years , entered the room. He had a long body , but rathe' short legs , and he was dressed In a frock teat of black and dark pantaloons , while his shoes were evidently Imported from England. It was Count Ito. He is , I Judge , about five feet six Inches high and he weighs about ICO pounds. He Is well formed and muscular. His eyes are a bright black and not so almond In shape as the average Japanese tjpe. Ills forehead Is high , hla nose rather thick , and his mouth , which shows through rather thin mustache and whiskers ot black , Is strong and yet pleasing. He shook ray hand In American fashion , and addressed me In English. He chatted with me about the growth of Japan , and he told me that he thought the country was Just on the eve of Its development , and that It had a great future. He referred to the Japanese troops which he was then sending into Corea , and when I asked him as whether he thought that there might bo a war be tween Japan and China , he shrugged hla shoulders , and raid : "Who ran tell7 We are sending our soldiers to Corea to take care of our people , and if the Coreans should ask us to help them * put down the rebel lion , we might possibly consent. There Is one thing that Is certain , and that Is that it our soldiers are attacked they will flght , and , as It 1 * now , China has already been the aggressor. But , you know , I can hardly tnlk on this subject just now. The situation Is critical , and no ono can tell whether' there will be war or not. " DID' ITO PLAN THE WAR ? This wa three weeks before the. war was declared , qnd there Is no doubt but that Count Ito at that time had , all his plans laid , and he gave me to understand during the Interview that it would take very little provocation to bring his men Into battle. A few days later the Japanese transports were carrying thousands of troops Into Corea , and the condition of the Japanese army shows that Japan had long had war In Eight. The military department was so thoroughly organized that 100,000 troops were shipped out of the country without creating moro than a ripple upon the waters of the social and business lite of the Japanese empire , and the troops which were sent to Corea were thoroughly equipped , both for fighting and for reformlpg the country. They carried telephonic and telegraphic material , and , while the Chinese tried to live- oft of the people , they carried : all ot their own pro visions and took coolies with them by the thousand to aid them In transporting their baggage. In connection with Count Ito and the different parties of the Japanese empire. It is curious to state that both the administration and the opposition parties delegated men to go along to report on the actual occurrences in order that they might use the same as political capital , and all of the newspapers sent corps of re porters. A few days after my interview , however , Count Ito made the censorship of the press even more rigid than It had been In the past , and the papers were warned that any comments upon or news of the war which might bo published -without first going through the bands of the censors would subject the paper to Immediate sus pension , and its editors to fines nnd Impris onment. This has been the policy of Count Ito throughout the struggle , and the little talk that I had with him Is probably the last that will bo given to any newspaper man until the war closes. I have received letters from Japan within the past few days , 'saying that no news whatever Is given out to correspondents , and that It Is almost Impossible to get anything authentic regarding the war. The Japanese outside of Count Ito and his confidential officials know practically nothing , and as for the Chinese they systematically He in regard to such matters as reports of their battles. JAPAN'S INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT. During my conversation with Count Ito the question -of Japan'a Industrial develop ment came up , and liouspoko of the growth ot Osaka and ot its cotton mills. lie , said that most foreigners ! In estimating Japan's possibilities forgot too put In the > wamen , who are equal with > the men In almost all manufactures , and who practically double the working force of Itho Japanese nation. They do a great dctb of. work in the cotton mills and they hav a Jmnd In the making of nearly everything that Is shipped to America , As to cotton , Count Ito told me that Japan had thirty -years ago about G.OOO spindles at work , and tbat this number had risen In 1883 to ovap,40,000. . Within flvo years from that It bad-troubled , having then 88,000 spindles. Thin w s In 18S3 , and there were twenty-four milldllhen at work. Four years later the splaiUe * numbered 400,000 , and there are now it4rty-six great modern mills , with 600,000 spindles. It la Impossi ble to estimate the growth of Japan's modern manufactures , and tlml greater part of her cotton now comes frbpi America , though much of it first goes to London and Is thence shipped to Japan. During the talk Count Ito referred very , kindly to the United States , saying that he had spent some time in Washington looking- Into our monetary system , and that he had been awarded ever } ' facility by the Treasury department. He spoke of the financial situation In Japan , tellingme that the country was In splendid condition , notwithstanding the fall In silver , and he referred with Satisfaction to the prospect of the treaties being revised within a very short Urn ? . Since then England has made a new treaty with Japan , nnd It Is probable that the other countries will follow within a short time. Japan every day rises higher and higher among the ranks ot the nations , and the day has pasted when she could be considered anything else than the equal of any ot the countries of Europe. 7 > w K n * OF FUNERALS HE HAD FOUR The Body ofu Union Soldier Dishonored nnd Honored in War. LOYAL CONDUCT OF A-SOUTHERN DOCTOR The Death of Llcnteimnt IJrmlforil unil tlio Animosity of Charleston Citizens Currying Out the Lust Wishes of u Dead O nicer. ( Copyright. 1801 , by McClure. ) There were but few prominent citizens of South Carolina who were avowed union men after war became flagrant. The fore most union man In tlio state was Dr. Al bert O. Mackey of Charleston. His views were well known to his fellow citizens for he had publicly declared them and predicted the final triumph of the arms of the union. He was the moat eminent Free Mason In tlio United States , and his works upon Masonic science were recognized as of the highest authority throughout Europe , as well as this country , having been translated even Into the Hussion language. His exemption from the harsh treatment usually Inflicted by the civil authorities In the south upon known union men was doubtless due to his Masonic character , which Invested his person with a certain degree of sanctity , and secured for him an amount of toleration that would have been otherwise denied him. Ho was the apostle of charity to the union sold ers Imprisoned In Charleston and his presence often cheered the gloom of their prison walls. They were generally In sore need , and to relieve their wants he con sumed his entire estate , converting It Into money , from time to time , to supply them with nourishing food and comfortable clothIng - Ing , On learning , the morning after an un successful assault on Fort Sumter , by the union forces , on the night of September 8 , 1663 , that a number of wounded un.on soldiers had been brought to the city , lie visited the Military hospital , and there saw Lieutenant Charles II. Bradford of the Maine corpj. Dr. Mockey had been the demonstrator of anatomy In the medical college of South Carolina , where he had graduated with the highest honors , and had achieved distinction as a surgeon , before retiring from practice o engage in literary pursuits. Upon his earnest solicitation he was permitted by the chief surgeon of the hospital , a brother Mason , to take exclusive charge of Lieuten ant Bradford's case. A careful examination Battened him that the wounds , though serious , were not necessarily mortal , and with skill ful treatment , and careful dieting , aided by the patient's robust physique , he felt as sured oC lila ultimate recovery. That the young soldier had fallen while upholding the flag of the union was sufficient to Inspire the doctor's Interest In him , but the Interest wai deepened by the- discovery that he was the son of an oldl friend , a Mason of distinction , whose hospitality he had enjoyed at Danger , Me. , before the war. FOniJIDDEN TO SEE HIS PATIENT. After three months of assiduous nursing Lieutenant Bradford apparently crossed the danger line , and was rapidly convalescing. But on Christmas day , when Dr. Mackey mads his accustomed morning call. Intent upon cheering up the -soldier on that taddest of all dayi to the prisoner and the- exile , he was met at the door of the hoipllal by the surgeon In charge , who handed htm an order from General Deaureguard forbidding Ills admittance to the hospital for any purpose whatsoever. The Burgeon himself expressed deep cha grin at the Issuance of lueh a hauh and unwarranted order by the department com mander , and humanely permitted the doc tor to bid his patient farewell , He also promised to send him word and admit him tq thehoipltal , at the risk of a court mar tial , should an unfavorable change indicating a fatal termination occur In Lieutenant Urad- ford's condition , Every observant physician knows that moral causes exert a potent Influence on the vftat forces. This was strikingly Illustrated In the CBLO of the wounded officer , for after being separated from the friend whose presence had dally cheered him , and In whose skill as a surgeon he reposed the most per fect faith , ho steadily declined In strength , and on tlio night of January 12 , 1SG4 , Dr. .Mackey received the promised summons and was soon at his bedside. Lieutenant Bradford was aware that he was dying and at his request the doCTor drew up his will In brief form , which was duly signed and witnessed. He desired that Dr. Mackey should take charge of his body , and forward It when the war was over to his f.imily In Maine , and he especially requested that he might bo burled with the flag of the union upon his breast. He died on the fol lowing day and his body was delivered to Dr. Mackey , who had It embalmed and dressed In the official uniform , attaching to the lapel of the coat a "passion cross" of silver , surmounted by rays of light , the- Jewel worn by nn eminent commander of Knights Templar , which Mason.c rank Lieutenant Bradford had attained. Then the flag was placed by the hand of the doctor's wife over the soldier's heart. THE FIRST BURIAL. At night fall on January 15 Dr. Mackey , with his wife and two daughters , followed the hearse that bore the body to Magnolia cemetery , a mlle north of thq city. The neft afternoon a procession composed of fifty or more citizens inarched to the residence of Dr. Mackey and charged him with having outraged the feelings of the people of Charles ton by burying the body of one of the "abo lition army" In Magnolia cemetery. They were not the rabble of the city , but reputa ble citizens , and their leader was Hon. W. D. Porter , lieutenant governor of the state , a gentleman , who would have shrunk from a conscious stain upon his honor. Governor Porter , voicing the sentiment of his associates , stated that the community wcro very Indignant at the desecration of Magnolia cemetery by the burial of a Yankee ofllccr's body within Its precincts , and that If the body were not removed before morn ing It would be taken up and thrown Into the sea. Ho further snlcl that It should bo burled In the Potter's field. " Dr. Mackey asserted his right to bury the 'deceased oUlcer In his own burial plat , to which he had a titleIn fee simple , and then said : "Gentlemen , I regard your demand as abhorrent to civilisation Itself , but as I have no means of resisting It , I will exhume the body. It shall be laid In the pauper burial ground , as you require. I shall place It there In the assured faith that although It Is sown In dishonor , It will , ere long , be raised In glory. " THE SECOND BURIAL. That night he had the body exhumed , and with his family accompanied the hearse that bora It to the Potter's Seld , situated nearly two miles west of Magnolia cemetery. As Iho small funeral cortege wended Its. way through the darkness the sky was ever and anon kindled up by the flames bursting from the 200-pound shells fired from the gun known as the "Swamp Angel , " located at the south end of Morris Island. One of the shells completely arched the city from east to west with Its fiery curve , and passing over the road not far In front of the hearse , burst near the Ashley river , eight miles from the gun that discharged It. The body was burled In the Potter's field between two oak trees that grew not more than ten feet opart , and the exact location wai carefully determined by course and dis tance. A little more than a year later , on the ISth of February , 18B6 , one of Dr. Macki-y's servants rushed Into his presence In a great excitement , and informed him that a number of soldiers had stopped In front of the house. Ten days previously he had received from a confederate sojdler a friendly warning that certain civilians had formed a plot to take hla life should he appear upon the streets , and he had , therefore , remained In doors , and was not aware of the march of events. Hence , ho concluded that the military au thorities had ordered Ills arrest , and re solved to know the worst. With somewhat of the martyr spirit , he hurried out onto hit plazta to answer the ring ol his door bell In person , On opening the door hu found himself In the presence of a number of ptrsons In the uniforms of officer * ' of the United States army and navy. One of them stepped for ward , and offering hl hand , said , "Dr. Mackey , I am Admiral Dahlgren. I have called to assure you of my gratitude ( or. your t devoted kindness < o an officer of my staff Lieutenant Bradford , These gentlemen of the army and. navy have accompanied jnc , and they will deem It an honor to grasp your hand. " After mutually hearty greetings , Admiral Dahlgren- relieved the doctor of much per plexity by stating that the confederates had evacuated Charleston and Its defenses tho- night before , and the union forces had taken possession of the city at daybreak. He- added , with emotion , that he uas aware oF the circumstances attending the death an * burial of Lieutenant Bradford , and that lie- would , at an early day , have fitting honors paid to his remains. THE THIRD BURIAL. Three days latera grand funeral pro cession , composed of several thousand sol diers , marines and sailors , with their officers , assembled In front of the city hall and marched thence , headed by Admiral Dahlgrert and General Clllmorc , behind a hearse draped with the flag1 of the union , to tlio Potter's field , wliero the body of the heroic olllcer was exhumed and Identified , and placed In the hearse with a wreath of laurel and Im mortelles laid upon the oak cofiln that en closed It. The solemn pageant then moved through the principal streets of Charleston and on to Magnolia cemetery. During the funeral progress numerous bands of music In the line played the dead march In Saul , while the flag of the United States floated at half mast on the city hall and citadel and upon the vessels of war , and over Fort Sumter , and minute suns wcro fired by the fleet. The honored remains wcro finally deposited at Magnolia cemetery In the very grave from which they had been exhumed , a detachment of marines firing the funeral salute. THE FOURTH BURIAL. They reposed there with a guard of honor posted near them for live or six days. Then , In accordance with the request or Lieutenant Dradtord's ' family , they were for warded to Hangar. The dead hero was berne back to his na tive soil In a vessel of war , and consigned to his final rest beneath a marble column , which tells how , "He died that the Nation might live. " I should add that Dr Mackey was one of the pall bearers at the re-burial of the body of Lieutenant Bradford In Magnolia ceme tery. He appeared at the funeral also in his ofllclal character , having been appointed mayor of Charleston by General Glllmore , who commanded the military department. T. J.
