My information was that the Oldhanila's captain, had been taken to Sasebo with the Kaisans, and this found to be quite correct. Ako, I hoped to have a look at the two famous men who have almost monopolised the attention of the world during the past few weeks, and even-for journalists should not limit their ambitions to have a talk with them.

THE COMING OF SANDOW.
THE RUSSIAN SAILORS AT NAGASAKI
I found Nagasaki celebrating the nation's triumph on a scale which, considering its population, did it credit. Every now and again, there was the startling crack of some gigantic firework and a bright glare, which took one's attention from the illuminated earth and water to the sky. But such things are of constant occurrence, and 1 didn't go to Kiushu to gaze at fireworks, lantern processions and similar commonplaces. I wanted something exclusive, something to keep the cables busy, and next morning obtained at least some slight return for my trouble.
