Rescript Issued by the Mikado After
the Shooting.


SHANGHAI, March 27.-Following Is
translation of an imperial rescript published
in special issue of the Japanese Gazette
in connection with the attempt on the life
of Lii Hung Chang:
"China is now in state Of war with our
country, but she has, with a due observance
of the forms of international etiquette, sent
an ambassador for the conclusion of peace.
We. on our part. named our plenipoten-
tiaries, who were instructed to meet him
and negotiate at Shimonoseki. Since it was
incumbent upon us, in pursuance with usage,
to afford the ambassador treatment con-
sistent with the national honor. and to
cord him a suitable escort for his protec-
ton, we consequently gave orders to all
functionaries to use the utmost diligence,
and 1t is, therefore, with profound grief
that we now have to express our regret
that a rufflan should have dared TO infiict
personal injury on the Chinese embassa-
dor. The culprit must receive the severest
punishment provided by law. Our official
subjects must respect our wishes to, pre-
serve the glory of this country untarnished.
and must provide against the recurrence
of such violence Is
The rescript is signed by the Emperor
and countersigned by his Ministers.
The Mikado has dismissed the project and
chief of police of Shimonoseki for rcnliss-
ness in affording protection to Ii Hung
