through joint Committee Of Conference.

TTribune's Correspondence
The best informed among the Japanese admit
the possibility OF an insurrection in their country,
but disbelieve the report Of the Tycoons assassi-
nation. Prince Mcto, spoke Of as leading the
insurgents, is Of the highest rank and greatest
power in the Empire, and his habitual attitude
towards the government jnstifes the suspicion
that he has attempted the alleged revolt. The
intelligence 10 by no means wholly discredited,
but it has produced as yet no special effect.
