Tokio, Feb. 9.
Court and official business was suspended and most business houses closed down to-day in observancy of the State funeral of Prince Yamagata, which was made the occasion for a military and naval pageant.
The ceremony which took place in a special hall in the Hibiya Park was conducted according to Shinto rites and was largely attended by State and Government officials, foreign representatives jand army and navy officers. The remains were later interred in the Gokokuji Temple grounds near the burial place of Marquis Okuma.—Reuter.
