General Nogi of Japan and His Military Record
General Nogi of Japan, 57, survived a fall from a horse in Tokio and played a key role in Port Arthur’s capture from Russia. He earned early fame in the 1904 war with China, notably storming the Itreshan fort and aiding Port Arthur’s seizure under General Stoessel. He later led northward in the last war, supporting Mukden’s fall and the defeat of Kuropatkin, and has served as Governor of Formosa.

France Grants Pardon To 1807 Would-Be Assassin Berezowski
France pardons Berezowski the Polish workman who shot at Czar Alexander II during a 1807 review at the Bois de Boulogne. He struck a spectator and was imprisoned in New Caledonia as insane. After decades in relative freedom he lived in a cottage near the prison, pursuing inventions including a perpetual motion device. The Humanitarian League won a full pardon, though Paris papers dub it a doubtful mercy and shelter remains uncertain.
