BY Hon. John NJ. Burch, OF this city,
lie United States Consul to Nagasaki,
Igan. The NewS says:
In affair Of a grave and lamentable
tasBcler occurred yesterday at Otsu.
According to the programme arranged
b,Ihc Russian Crown Prince, His In
lelial Ilighness went III the forenoon
hon KyOto TO 0tsu by train, and hav-
hg Iahched at the official residence OF
Tie Governor, proceeded by jiRrikia'a
0l4e Biwa.
There were q large number OF jinrik-
l'iia the train. In what order they
wee mayshalled We have not learned,
btitis probable that the Prince rode
tNi, andwhat is certain is that imme.
dneIy behind the jinrikiShG Of the
lHaCe Imperial and Prince George of
GNete armed guards were riding. A
stpH: force OF police, told off for SER
vie along the road, had been placed at
Intervals, forming Il line on either side
Nom theotlices Of the Prefecture to the
Lase. Among the policemen was one
lsuda SanzO, belonging to tho Mori-
yama station. This man seems to have
I9sthis reason sthecortege egeapproached.
DIi4ElRg his sword, he stepped up from
,Ae rear at the moment when the
trihce /. s.iirrikiSha passed, and struck ut
ns occupant, inilicting q wound on the
S'4e oi the forehead. One OF the gems
daFnes following the Prince at once
spFang from his jinriki5hG and gave the
Iunaiic two severe but not fatal sword
eats, after which he was arrested.
tciegraplic news OF the event
igSached Tokyo at ha!i-past ., and natur-

Emperor was profoundly affected, and
Ae Empress broke down completely.
