Mutsuhlto, for 45 years emporor of Japan, died early Tuesday morning In Toklo. Yoshlhito, Hnru-No-Mlya, reigns under the formula provided by the con stitution promulgated by Mutsuhlto. Mutsuhlto, the 121st emporor of Japan, passed gently away, lie hod been uncon scious many hours before death, and tho empress, tho crown prince and the most prominent officials of tho house hold and government wero at his bed side. Tho emperor had been suffering from brlghts dlseasb several months. Mutsuhlto, 121st emperor ot Japan, will occupy In history the fortunate place ot the first ruler of the Island empire's enlightened era. This ,era may be said to havo begun before Mutsuhlto ascended tho throne, but he succeeded his father, Emperor Komel, at the age of 15, and tho advance of Japan to a place among tho fully cMllzed nations has been prac tically commensurate with his reign. That his personality hnd much to Jo with this progress is fully testified to by pareful observers from Europe and America, though his actual part In lead ership is obscured by the oriental tradl tlon of reticence concerning tho mon arch's person and the custom of giving him credit for whatever of good has been accomplished within tho realm. lie is to bo classed, at all events, with the makers of modern Japan, whether or not he Is to be considered tho master workman.
