CRIME OF JAPANESE ASSASSIN
How Hoshi Toru, Minister of Com munications, Was Stabbed to
 Death.
New Ycrk Tritune.

New Ycrk Tribune.
 The cable dispatch from fokonama stating that the murderer of Hoshi Toru, the Japanese Minister of Communlca- tions, had kten sentenced to hard labor for life, gives fresh interest to some par ticulars of that crime which were not published here at the time 1t occurred. Hoshi Toru. who had been the Japanese diplomatic representative at WasEingtoh' was Minister of Communlcatlons Tn Ja- pan when he was slain. The criminal, a samurai sumptuously clad In the old national costume of his country, on June 21, entered the hall where the City Coun- cil of Tokio was in session
 There were six men, in European vest ments, who were standing to have a nnai conversation before separating. Hosni Toru was one of them. ani WIS talkms cts, a habit he had brought from Eu- ropean salcns. The samurai. in his cer- emonious national silk robe, with large open sleeves. a shining belt, and his two swords hung to it. opened the door or the hall. and, according to the old Japan csc custom. rendered his card and walked In the direction of Hosh Toru. The Min ister turned around. and the samurai, while speaking in low voice, struck him suddenly and with great accuracy, five blows, all deadly. with a stlletto Hoshi Toru fell on the floor. his mouth filled with plcod, and did not move again
 The samurai. Iba Sotaro. imniedlately surrendered his weapon, and asked to be pound. neH ne 'p eAiP man a declaration he had written before hand, in which he said: "I entertain no pC rsonal hatred towards Hoshi Toru. but he spreads the poison of evil in all classes and undermines the morals of all the young with his European pro- pensities I have decided that he should disap appear. submit myself to be torn away forever from my wife and my children; and this Is a punish ment as terrible as quarterfng.
 However, it is necessary that this author of misfortune disappear. As men of sense, let your verdict be favorable to mel"
 The murderer belonged to the party of the ancient Japanese. His family had for many generations exercised the sin gular privilege of furnishing master of the sword to the court of the Sho- gun. His father was known for his skill with the national weapon, and he him. self had the reputation of a redoubtable swordsman. His brother had been kill ed in 1868 by the Vendean-like war sustain cd by the partisans of the old Japanese regime. The murderous samurai was q wealthy man. beneficent. and the head of a highly esteemed family. For a time he had reconciled himself to modern ideas, had been director of agricul- tural college, and later administrator of a bank. But his fondness for the old customs had finally taken hold of hi mind and made a murderer of him.
