The persons OF whom Mrs. Smith complains

entered into lease agreement with the

the rooms with toilet ana bathroom and board

that he bad received no information rela-
tive to the war with China by the last
steamer.
"All the informant which we have of
the hOstilities,' said the secretary, sis
what appears in the papers OF this country.
The wherea bouts of the Prince is unknown
in Japan, so that it is impossible for him
to have received any advices from Japan.
He has been ira Yelling incognito in order
that his plans while abroad might not be

rived in San Francis co that his real title has
been made public"
In speaking of the dispatch which said
that japan proposed to crush her unwieldy
rival by march on Peking, with the in
tention of capturing the Chinese capital,
the Princes secretary said: 'We have no
Information of such a contemplated move
ment, but think the dispatch is quite
likely to be true. 1t seems to be the proper
thing to do, and | should not be al all sur
prised If the Japanese army was now on
its march to Peking.''
Prince komatSu and his secretary seem
to have doubt of the result of the war, and
are very confident that Japan will prove
the victor The present Of 8 Korean flag
to the King Of that country by the ap-
anese Emperor was regarded as significant
showing that Japan mediate no designs
upon the autonomy of the Hermit King
dom, but merely desired to drive tue Chi
nese out of the peninsula and to enable
the King to enact laws which will protect
japanese merchants doing business in
Korea.
Prince Komatsu was educated in Paris,
where he spent five years, and speaks
French fuently. He has a good knowl-
edge of English, but speaks the language
somewhat imperfectly.
His present visit abroad has been short
one, less than year having been spent in
the French capital. His departure for home
has been fastened by the war in tho East,
and 1t is understood that the Prince de-
sires to participate in the struggle against
China and to join the army of invasion.
He will go directly to Yokohama, and
thence to Toxic. where he will report to
his cousin, the Mikado, for duty.

siderable speculation, both of aud on the

composed of the Borels. Nevada Bank and
others, which purchased 100000 of the

the combination had been taken was not legal {;
namely, that no actual vote was taken OF the
