gent insane OF the county would be released

may Meet Hostile Demonstration on
Return Home.
SEATTLE. Wash, September 12.-That
Baron Komura, the Japanese peace pleni-
potentiary, and his party may be met with
a hostile demonstration on his arrival in
Japan Is the opinion expressed last night
by the Rev. H. KoZaki. a prominent Japa-
nese minister. who arrived here yesterday
to attend the meeting of the American
board Of missionaries.
The Rev. Kozaki says, however. that IL
the class Of people who are responsible for
the present uprising learn the true condi-
tons Of the peace settlement before the ar
rival of Baron Komura he may not be mo-
Tested
The Rev. Kozaki also states that it Is the
intention of his government to take up the
work of enlightening the Chinese immedi-
ately. and that there are at present some
5000 students from the best Chinese fami-
lies attending educational institutions in
Japan, some of them being young women.
The minister states that unless the Japa-
nese receive the indemnity agreed upon as
reimbursement for the expenses of taking
care of Russian prisoners. that economic
depression may result for year or so. If
this money Is received within a short time,
however. this danger will be averted.
