Geooral Nori and Admiral Togo, who are here as official Japaneso delegatos to the Curen tion, have been overwhelmed with invitations for the coronation, bua they are taking a quieter course than most of the official visitors and are not accepting more than a ticho of the requests. Political, naval, military and society functions are
