The would be murderer was arrested. 1t
is believed that he was prompted to the
crime by misguided patriotism.
The name of the would be assassin is
Koyama Rokunosuki He is only 81 years
old. His antecedents are as yet unknown.
The hews of the attempted assassination
of Ii Hung Chang created much excite
ment at Yokohama. The emperor and
empress will send a messenger to Shi-
moneski TO express to the distinguished
Chinese statesman their regrets at the
most unfortunate occurrence. Count Ito,
president of the Japanese council of min
listers and one of the peace commissioners,
has visited Ii Hung Chang and expressed
to him his sympathy and regret. Count
Ito has also telegraphed to Hiroshima ask
ing that DR.. Sato the imperial physician,
be sent to Shimoneseki to attend the Chi
nese commissioner. The ministers of
state and number of other officials have
visited Lii Hung Chang and expressed their
deep sorrow at the occurrence. Every pre-,
caution has been taken by the police and
military to prevent any trouble. The gov
ernment profoundly regrets the affair
The attack on Ii Hung Chang calls to
mind the attempt made on May II, 1891,
to kill the czarowitz, now the emperor of
Russia. In November, 1890, the czarowitz,
in company with his cousin, Prince George
of Greece, started on a tour of the world
They visited Vienna Athens, Cairo, Bonn
bay, Calcutta, Madras, Ceylon, Bangkok,
Siam, and various places in China and
Japan. While at Otsu, Japan, the czaro-
witE was attacked with q sword by fanat-
ioal japanese officer and quite severely
wounded. He would in all likelihood
have been killed had it not been for the
bravery of Prince George, who sprang
upon the would be assassin and felled him
TO the ground. The affair caused the great
est excitement, and the mil1ado travelled
to Otsu to visit the czarowitz and express
his regret for the attack. 1t had been the
intention of the czarowitz to return to
Russia by way Of the United States, but
he was summoned home by Gar Alexan-
der, and on his recovery he returned to St.
Petersburg by way Of Siberia.
The first question discussed by the peace
commission was in regard to an armistice,
but no decision was arrived at, The re-
ception of Lii Hung Chang by the Jap
anese plenipotentaries was favorable.
Advices received from Hong Kong con-
firm the report of the repulse of the Jap
anese force that attempted to make a land
ing Ol One LesC9uOt0 Asianus' 1no polhU
at which the japanese attempted to land
was Kakung, in the southwestern part of
the Island of Poughan. Makung is we'll
fortified place, and has harbor that ad-
mits vessels of large draught.
Another dispatch states that on Thurs
day last the japanese occupied Fisher
Island, one of the Pescadore group. Sailors
were landed on the coast and these were
followed by troops. The Chinese made no
opposition.
An official return that has just been is
sued shows that the total Japanese loss
during the whole campaign has been only

THE fact that Alabama is preparing to
hold State Convention for the purpose
of devising means to attract Northern
Immigration is one of general interest
and significance. 1t shows that the peo
pie are beginning TO realize the impor.
tGnce OF an infusion of new population
from sources where the philosophy Of
prosperity has been practically learned
and successfully applied. In Alabama,
as in all the other Southern states, there
zs an abundance of idle land which can
be utilized only by the Introduction of
The same kind of a labor element that has
made the North so productive and so
wealthy. As the case now stands, the
manual labor of that section is mostly
performed by the negroes; but they are
poor farmers, and do not know how to
improve the opportunities in that rels-
ton. The skill and experience, the indus
try and perseverance, of white men are
needed to develop agricultural resources ;
but Northern farmers hesitate to go
South because they are afraid of being
placed on level with the negroes, and
denied the social recognition to which
chey have always been accustomed. They
believe in the dignity of labor, and the
right Of the man who works for a living
20 be respected by the community and
permitted to enjoy all ordinary social
privileges, SO long as his personal con

auestionably lingering prejudice against
manual labor among the white people ot
the South, inherited from the old slave
days. It is slowly disappearing as the
years pass, but enough of it still remains

siderable degree.

No news on the subject of the attack
upon Ii Hung Chang has been received
by the japanese legation here and Minis
ter kurino was unwilling to discuss the
occurrence. The members of the legation
realize that it is a serious matter, but hope
that the first reports may prove to be ex-
aggerated. They say no one will deplore
such an affair more than the japanese
themselves.
The Chinese legation received prompt
notification of the matter, but their ad-
vices contained nothing not in the press
dispatches. Minister Yang Yu did not
care to discuss the subject. 1t was stated
at the legation that it was not believed
that it would lead to the total breaking

The Attack on China's Premier Causes Com
sternatiOn Among Diplomats.
WASHINGTON, March 25.-The news of
the assault on Iii Hung Chang caused a
sensation in diplomatic circles in this city
Cases where an envoy of any kind has
been assaulted in the country to which he
Is accredited are rare, and those in which
peace commissioner is attacked are al
most unheard of in modern days. The
opinion here is that Japan will suffer
greatly as a consequence of the assault,
and that the position of China will be so
strengthened that she may be able to Sc
cure better terms of peace than she could
otherwise have hoped for The incident
may lead to the breaking off of peace ne
gotiations, which were proceeding so sat
isfactorily, or at least may postpone fur
ther action in this direction until Japan
has guaranteed the safety of Chinas envoy
and made proper reparation.
A recent parallel case is the attack made
by General Count Fuentez, of the Spanish
army, on the Moorish ambassador The
latter was sent to ask Spain TO grant Mo
rocco more Uime for the payment Of the
war indemnity promised for the attacks
on the Spanish at Melillo General Flu
entez became enraged, at one of the con
4 ferences, and struck the ambassador in the
face with his clenched fist. So seriously
| did the Spanish government regard the in
oident that Prime Minister Sagasta tele
| graphed a full explanation, coupled witt
expressions of profound regret, to all tbs
| European courts. General Fuentez barely
escaped being shot. and viii Arohably b.
