Tokio, July 27.
The Prince Regent's ascent of Mount Fujiyama this "morning was accomplished successfully in ideal conditions. The summit was reached at 11 o'clock.
The party is returning on foot this evening to Gotemba, at the base, and will depart for Hayama to-morrow.
This is the first time in its history, so far as is recorded, that a member of the Imperial Family has climbed the "peerless mountain."
The Prince Regent was enthusiastically greeted by thousands of pilgrims on the mountainside.
Approaching the summit, His Imperial Highness sent a message to Their Majesties who are at Nikko, by means of an Army pigeon.—Reuter.
