TKORIA, III.. Feb. 1 J.-Declarlug that
Ma country entertained nothing but the
mom friendly and grateful sentiments
towards the Cnlted States and that audi
a thins as war between this country and
Japan ' win an Impossibility. Baron
Kogoro Takahlra, Japanese ambassador to
the United States, delivered the principal
address last night at the Creve Cour club's
banquet In honor of the centennial of the
birth of Abraham Lincoln. Charles
Magoon. former provisional governor of
Cuba; Curtis Guild, Jr.. governor of Mass
achusetts, and Prof. John Clark Kreeman
were the other speakers of the evening.
Ambassador Takahlra was enthusias
tically received. In hie address he gave
a brilliant eulogy on the life of tha great
emancipator from a foreign point of view,
toncludlng .a tribute to the golden rule
of diplomacy as exemplified by Lincoln
and Hay and In which category of states
men he placed Theodore Roosevelt, owing
to the president's efforts to stave off
sml-Japanese legislation on tbs Pacific
coast.
Baroa Takahlra' Speech.
I;aron Takahlra'a speech follows:
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen:' I feel
highly gratified to be able to avail my
self of your courteous. Invitation to . at
tend your banquet this evening which Is
given In commemoration of the 100th an
niversary of the birth of your great mar
tyred president. Abraham Lincoln.
Mr. Lincoln has left In hla life a great
example nt a public man, not only of his
own, but of alt countries. It Is no won
tier that hla fame I world-wide and
adorns tlis universal history of the mod
ern age as one of the greatest men that
ever lived.
Another feature of his life which ap
pears particularly interesting and in
structive to me as a diplomat was his
method nf conducting tha foreign affairs
of this country.
Those who learned to admire his method
of diplomatic transactions cslled It "Un
coln diplomacy," the diplomacy which up
held the dignity and interests of the United
States when It still remained In a less Im
portant position and under very adverse
circumstances. Mr. John Hay. who was
once President Lincoln's secretary, said
In speaking of American diplomacy:
"The briefest expression of our rule of
conduct is perhaps the Monroe doctrine and
the Golden Rule."
Ualtetl States and Japaa.
The history of the diplomatic relatlori be
tween the United Btatea and Japan - and
other far ear.tern countries Is replete with
every description of the friendly acts
taken by thosa which might be considered
hi sn application of the golden rule and
there is every reason that such application
of the' gulden 'rule In your dlplomncy with
these countries Is being attributed by the
adoption of the same rule In their diplo
macy towards you. Now let me make a
few remarks about our relation In order
to show you how the golden rule has been
observed between the tw countries and
also why it must be observed:
I have i.eceaaarily to begin with the re
tnsikahle success of Commodore Perry's
mission which was sent' to Japan some
half , cent ary ago In order to- open and In
troduce Into the community of nations and
the. country which was then only terra
Incognito. Not speaking of the great debt
of gratitude Japan owes to the United
.States for Us friendly Introduction Into
the international community, it is a note
worthy fact that the American government
has been careful In the selection of its
representatives In Jaran In order to accom
plish what has been left for them to do
by Perry.'s mission.
Japan's Attltade friendly.
Townscnd Harris, your first minister to
japan, was especially remarkable as a man
tif large heart ami broad mind. (It was
true such friendly attitude taken vby tha
American representatives, of course, sup
ported by tho government, that American
people are deeply endeared to ours, and we
want to reciprocate whHt has been done for
us. We have never had any Idoa for a
moment or displeasing your people, much
h'SR of wsging war against. you.
It is for this reason that when displeasure
was manifested In this country in regard to
the Japanese Immigration we readily con
sented to the adjustment of the Question
tinder .certain conditions, by limiting the
immigration or laborers to the minimum
number, and as a consequence It has been
greatly reduced, notably since the last July
and it Is found that during the latter half
ui It) the number of Japanese Immigrants
who returned to Japan from continental
United States was larger than those who
arrived In this country by 3,100, and the
number of those who returned to Japan
from the Hawaiian Islands wss also In ex
cess of those which arrived there from
Japan by 1.W0. While It Is not certain how
long this condition of movement will con
linue, U Is possible thut every half year

Again when there was apprehension of
misunderstanding to arise between us in
regard to the trademarks, copyrights and
other matters of kindred nature on the
Asiatic continent the two governments
opened negotiations and concluded conven
tions with the view to protect our mutual
interests In thlS'Tegnrd. We also began
treaty for the general arbitration of con
troversies between the two countries and
lastly, as you are aware, we exchanged a
few months ago declaration defining the
policy of the tsro government In China In
the Pacific ocean with a view to encouragu
the free and peaceful development of the
commerce of the two nations and also to
preserve the general peace In that region.
Thus we have been using every effort 10
remove all possible causes of misunder
standing and conflict between the two coun
tries, and to bring about the clear and
definite understanding between the two
countries In order to cement the closest
bond of friendship and good neighborhood.
All this. I venture to say, Is the result of
the application of the golden rule in your
diplomacy and adoption of the same rule
In ours, and I most emphatically declare
that so long at the golden rule Is con
sidered as the guiding principle of your
diplomacy!, we shall he enabled to enjoy th
benefit of peace and prosperity which will
surely continue, and all other far eastern
countries will follow the example thus sec
by us. This must be, I dare ssy, fully In
accordance with the high Ideal of Lincoln's
diplomacy, which Is now being so ener
getically expounded and executed by an
other great president, Mr. Theodore Roose
velt. Address of Charles E. Magroon.
Charles E. Magoon said In part:
Lincoln and Grant and men of their day
acted well their part In the greatest of
modern struggles, but they left to those
who should come after them the completion
of the work which they commenced. Tha
necessities of our world-wide commerce
and the national defense prompted the
United States to construct the isthmian
canal and brought within our friendly pro
tection the Infant republic of Panama. I
doubt not that the ultimata deatlny of the
Philippines will be the creation therein of
a free and independent sovereignty. 1
doubt not that Cuba, will be permitted to
work out Its own salvation, and that tl.e
United States will continue to recognise
and observe the Joint resolution of our
congress adopted In April, l&S. 'that 'tlx
Inhabitants of the Island of Cuba aie and
of right ought to be free and Independent."
I doubt not that other alien people, espe
cially the Inhabitants of the countries sur
rounding the Carribean sea, by reason of
their locatlof and maintenance of the
Monroe doctrine, will come more and more
within the sphere of Influence of the United
States. The American officials called upon
to deal with the questions whirl! have now
arisen and which will continue to arise In
these countries, and the American nation
In discharging Its responsibilities to them
can adopt no better rule than tha broad
policy marked out by Lincoln.
SHERMAN SPEAKS AT riTTSBl'IlG
Vice President-elect Hakes Address at
Chamber of Commerce Dinner.
PITTSBURG, ' Feb. 13,-Vlce President
elect Jamea 8. Sherman of New York was
ths principal speaker at the Chamber .of
Commerce dinner at the Hotel Schenley
here last night. About 400 attended the
dinner and listened to an address on "The
Ship Subsidy," by Congressman Jamea E.
Watson of Indiana and to James Scarlet,
who conducted tha Investigation Into the
graft charges In connection with tha Penn
sylvania state capitol, who spoka on "Ths
Day We Celebrate."
Abraham Lincoln, said Mr. Sherman,
was not a child of destiny, but an Amer
ican boy, a man of America. When Lin
coln was discovered and nominated, ha
aid, "not aa the unqueatloned choice of all
the people, but rather of tha minority of
a party the minority made the majority
apparently by. means of political tactics
the situation was fat different from that
which confronted Washington. The nation
was rent asunder, opinion was divided and
a grave constitutional question was In
volved. In the south ths dark cloud of
accession had already appeareed, while In
the north there were muttering of sym
pathy. Men were being persecuted for
their beliefs; the right of freedom of
thought and expression was questioned
and a whirlpool of discord and dissension
was gathering. It threatened to engulf
the. nation In its might rush. At such a
moment, he said, Lincoln waa brought for
ward. "Lincoln," he said, "had nons of
the advantages or encouragements of many
of his predecessors. He was untried, al
most unknown. The crisis waa approach
ing; he must meet it or fall. Thru is tha
situation pictured by the afterlights and
surely by intuition or inspiration ho so
viewed It Not the liberty of the defenders
of the Stars and Stripes which floated vic
torious over Bunker Hill and Saratoga and
Bennington and Orlskamy was at stake,
but tha liberty of a. race foreign to the
country a race brought here for bondage
or reared In slavery. Was It worth fight
ing for? Many In the north said no. Waa
It a . question which could be constitu
tionally acted upon? The entire south said
no. and then Abraham Lincoln,. .with dig
nity, with firmness and with a spirit which
could have been . Inspired only .. of God,
grasped ths helm of the ship of stats and
pointed its course directly into tha teeth
of the storm. His proclamation of man
cipation un forged the fetters of ths slaves,
united the north, sent a thrill of joy and
patriotism In reverberation over the land,
until the hundreds of .thousands of boys
In blue swore by their flag and by their
country that slavery should cease and that
their nation should be reunited, though it
was cemented with blood."
Ths appearance of Lincoln, said Mr.
Sherman, was at the most critical time In
ths nation's history. "He met hla responsi
bilities superbly," he declared, "gentle,
mild and forebearing, his private and of
ficial careers are filled with pictures of
prose and poetry which -throw about him
a charm most delicate and delightful. His
hoVnely. quaint humor brightens with age
and will never be disassociated with his
name or copied by another." ' Lincoln, ha
said, was perhaps the greatest American,
but his Individuality waa greater than hla
personality, and this, he said, was because
be had with him "that stern, unyielding
sense of duty. Gentle beyond compare,
patient beyond belief, his country and his
duty were his creed, and to that end he
labored unceasingly and suffered patiently,
It was that sentiment, "Our Country,' which
guided him. He gave himself with reserve,
for that country, his rare talents, bis lm-
measureable love, his remarkable sagacity,
his life. All were freely laid upon ths
altar of home and country." '
During ths afternoon the vice president
elect spoke briefly at the convocation ex
rets of ths University of Pittsburg at
Carnegie hall. .
The annlverssry of Uncoln s birth waa
celebrated In Pittsburg and vicinity today
to a larger extent than ever before. Tha
schools, colleges and various organisations
throughout the city conducted spec'.al ex
ercises in honor of the day.

The eyes of . the veterans were directed

dny when they laid aside their books and
responded to the call of "Father Abraham"

SON OF Y. M. C. A. FOUNDER

aos and Finds He Visited
Omaha In Harlr Dars.
"I was very much surprised snd plessed
to learn on my visit to England thst Sir
Oeorge Williams, the founder of the Young
Men's Christian association, was once a
visitor to Omaha, with his son, Howard
Williams, and that he was familiar with
some of the stirring scenes in the west
In the Indian warfare days of the '70s,"
said Secretary B. C. Wade of the Omaha
Young Men's Christian association.
"When I called at the Williams estab
lishment and sent up my card, as soon ss
Mr. Williams saw from It that I was from
Omaha I wss admitted to his private oftii'i
by himself personally and with the greatest
cordiality.
" I have some very pleasant recollec
tions of Omaha.' Mr. Williams said to me.
I wss surprised to learn that he and his
father had ever visited the west, and par
ticularly Omaha. 'Oh. yes.' he said, 'w
were there a few days and went from
there to Cheyenne and Bait Lake Citv.
While at Cheyenne the Sioux Indian
troubles culminating In the massacre of
General Custer were st their height.'
