THE JAPANESE VISITORS.
By Telegraph—Press Association,
WELLINGTON, April 5. Vice-Admiral Tomioka gave an "at home," this afternoon, on board the warship Hashidate, about 50 guests being invited. The number would have been greater had the Japanese Admiral had more accommodation. The affair passed off very successfully. This evening a Ministerial reception to the officers of the visiting squadron was given at Parliamentary Buildings, which were densely packed. The various parts of the buildings were brilliantly illuminated and decorated. There was a full representation of the military staff and officers of the local forces, also several members of both Houses of Parliament. The visitors were received by the Hons. Dr. Findlay and J. McGowan. The latter, on behalf of the Government, said it was the desire of the people of Wellington to do honour to Vice-Admiral Tomioka, as representative of a great nation, which had fully shown its valour in the late war. The military genius displayed in that war must, he thought, have met with approval and commendation of every nation.
