his intention to kill King Haakon.
He still had 40 or so cartridges in his
pockets.
q King Haakon and Queen Maud were
not in the castle at the time of the
shooting, having recently moved to
the royal residence at Voxenkollern.
None of the palace officials or serv.
ants was injured.
The name of the Swede Is Johannes
Gren. He has lived here for several
years and followed the trade of a
blacksmith. His grievance appears
to be that King Haakon received too
large a salary from the public funds,
and TO the police he declared that
the king had no right to be in this
country. It is said that Gren spent
several years in an asylum in Dem
mark. .~

Tokyo, Mar. 11.-According to a
well authenticated report the center

the British government was informed
of Japan's announcement that in the

the British foreign Office asked Count
Nomura, the Japanese ambassador. in
London, what steps Japan proposed
to take, calling his attention to the
clause in the treaty with Great Britain
covering the question of war between
Japan and any other nation, Great
Britain's interest therein being under
stood here. Ambassador Komura be-
ing unable to give definite answer,
asked the foreign office in Tokyo for
information which found the attitude
Of the British government an uriex-

stated here that the British govern

He defended Admiral Rojesvensky for
taking the Russians ships into battle
with the Japanese with full bunkers

mander could not have done otherwise
for he did not know how far he would
be compelled to steam. Commander
Key attempted to direct the form Of

displeasure- of the committee on that
account. He criticised the. armor belt

and the ammunition hoists unsafe.
He attempted to dispute the testimony

Speaks Of sooiety's Formation.
+. The ambassador at the beginning
spoke Of the formation Of the society
which he had the honor to address,
and said 1t showed how friendly and
sympathetic the citizens Of New York
had been towards Japan in the midst
OF, all sorts of unfavorable specula-
tion spread out among certain Sec
tion of this great people.
Ambassador Praises Mikado.
Touching then upon the question Of
Japan and Japanese affairs, Mr.. Taxa,
hira said the emperor is the same per-
son-large-minded and far-sighted, al
ways eager for the happiness and
prosperity Of his subjects, and at the
same time equally sincere in his de-
sire for the we'll being and good care
of all other peoples. Japan's enlarged
sphere of influence by no means. the
ambassador said, necessitated any
change in the general policy Of the
empire. Japan's aim and purpose as
q nation are always the same. In
discussing this feature Of his, talk
the ambassador recalled a speech he
had made at Philadelphia five years
ago on the position Of Japan in the
far east, and In this connection said:
Il remember I said then, among
other things. that "the sincere desire
of the Japanese: government and peo-
pie was to, have all .neighboring coun-
tries realize that mutual interests can
best be promoted by the maintenance
of peace, the promotion of commerce
and industry and the Strengthening Of
the ties of Undergraduates" D
