Japan Takes No Blame.

Seoul, Korea, July 22.-Viscount Haya- shi, tue Japanese foreign minister, de- scribes his visit to Seoul as an excursion during the government holidays, made for the purpose of communicating to Marquis Ito the demand made by public feeling In Japan for rectihcation of existing con ditions in Korea and also to consult with the Marquis as to what should be done. In view of the grave state of the present crisis, Viseount Hayashi has consented to say that the abdication of the emperor occurred simultaneously with his arriva, in Seoul and was a surprise and disap- pointed his plans. Neither Marquis Ito nor Japan had any part fin the abdication, but on the contrary if consulted, they would not have advised It.

Japan's position here was delicate and it's responsibility was great. An intriguing government was inposs- ble and the plan to murder all the cabl- net ministers, which was reported to be a scheme of the Emperor for his restra- ation to power with cabinet wholly anti Japanese, was unthinkable, Regarding possible plans for the future government Hayashi said that the Korean throne had nothing to fear from the Japanese, but there must be competent, organized ad- mnistration. Japan's programme would be executed only with regard to due forms, with the consent of the consti- tuted sovereign and was subject to mod ification according to conditions.
