Little Short of Death.

WASHINGTON, April Lit is said at the
Japanese legation that the young Japanese
who shot Lii Hung Chang probably will be
sent to the mines of Northern Japan to
serve his life sentence The locality is
much like Siberia and sentence there is
dreaded by the Japanese as little short
of death. The unofficial reports of the
sentence make no reference to the trial
or conviction. 1t is understood to be a
civil trial, as a military trial would have
resulted in death. When the Japanese sum-
marily punished those who attempted the
life of the Russian Crown Prince, it raised
an agitation in the Japanese Parliament.
as the government was accused of undue
haste in the desire to make amends to
Russia In the present case the speed of
the trial is accounted for by the fact that
the offense is regarded as one against the
government of Japan and, therefore, trea-
sonable.
DIR. Schribas report on his wound is re-
garded by the Japanese legation as assuring
his recovery. Schriba is one of Germany
most distinguished surgeons, who has en-
tered into the service of Japan.
