Washington. March Estate depart
ment officials here say nothing has
been received by the department
concerning the attempted assassina-
ton OF III Hung Chang. Regret
over his misfortune is practically unanl-
nous, for the viceroy's career Is familiar
TO nearly oil persons connected with dip
lomatic affairs. and by many he was
considered to be the greatest living dipIo-
matist. According to diplomats here,
there can be no doubt that the unfortunate
affair will have a marked effect IN the
peace negotiations and that the Chinese
will reap the benefit. Japan IL is said,
viii make the greatest possible repara-
ton, and this may even take the form Of
being liberal in concessions to their ad-
versaries in the peace conference.
