There is comparatively little dam

Ii HUNG onANa,s AssA1LANr.
He is Sent to the Mines of Northern Jana,

He is Sent to the Mines of Northern Japan
for Life.
WASHINGTON, April lit Is said at
the Japanese legation that the young
Japanese who shot Ii Hung Chang
probably will be sent to the mines Of
Northern Japan to serve life sentence.
The locality is much like Siberia and
sentence there Is dreaded by the Japan
ese as little short of death. The unot-
fetal reports of the sentence make no
reference to trial or conviction. Ills
understood to have been civil trial ss
military trial would have resulted In
death.
When the Japanese summarily pun
isbed those who attempted the life of
the Russian crown prince, it raised an
agitation in the Japanese parliament,
as the governments was accused Of
crowding the trial and notsccording
the usual rights of defence in the desire
to mako amends to Russia. In the
present case the speed of the trial Is
accounted for by the fact that the Of
Tense Is regarded as one against the
government Of Japan and therefore
reasonable. DR.. Scribas' report on LIS
wound Is regarded by the Japanese le-
cation as assuring his recovery. Scri-
bss is one of the four of Germany's most
disting uished surgeons who have en-
tered into the service of Japan.

WASHINGTON, April THE Secretary
OF State ia very much concerned these
days by the Venezuelan problem. The
British ultimatum, delivered to Nicar.
aqua, Is not source of present appre-
hension, for 1t is not now believed that
the British will take any action in the
way OF attempting to acquire any terri.
tory in that direction or even to jeopar
die the property of Americans in
Nicaragua by bombardment in tho
effort to force collection OF the in
demnity demanded from Nicaragua.
Those are the two moves that might
cause the United States to Interfere.
But in tho CAGE OF the Venezuelan
boundary dispute thsre is much graver
Cause for apprehension. 1t appears
that our ambassador, Mr.. Bayard, has
not succeeded in inducing the British
government to give heed to the request
submitted by him at tho direction of
Congress, that the boundary dispute bo
submitted to arbitration.
The British are profuse in their de-
clarations OF willingness to arbitrate
tho titles TO the lands west Of tho
Schomoerg limo, but IN the view of the
State Department this is pure evasion
OF the real issue, for thereSnever has
been any assertion Of British right to
this territory. and 1t is territory lying
east OF this line that forms the sub
stance OF the contention. The present
situation is believed to be alarming, as
armed bodies of British end Venezue.
ians are pressing each other closely in
the disputed territory, and there may
be hostile clash at any moment
The administration he's been consid-
erlpg carefully the course to be pursued
In such case, and 1t is entirely proba-
bic that IL the British persist in bring
Ing about this colliaion through failure
to heed the repeated warnings and re-
quests of the United States to submit
the matter to fair arbitration, then the
United States will feel Obliged to follow
the moral aid 1t has given TO Venezuels
in this matter by moro substantial as
sistauce.
