Dead Statesman.

TOKOI, Oct 27.-The body OF Prince Ito,
the murdered elder statesman of Japan,
will be taken aboard the Japanese warship
Iwato, at Dairen and viii be brought to
Japan accompanied by a full suite repre-
senting the entire nation. The body lay
today in a hotel at Dairen, the coffin COW
cred by a simple white pail Guards sur
rounded the hotel and only the princes
personal staff was admitted.
Throughout the day teiegrams poured
into TOXIC from every country Of the
world and the officials of the foreign of
fices are buslly engaged in answering
them Those closest to the throne say
that the emperor is deeply affected by the
assassination of the prince. He has asked
for every detail and apparently is unable
to understand why the murder was COM
mltted, in view of the evident popularity
OF Prince Ito But when informed of ali
the facts so far as they have been learned
here the emperor ordered that there must
be no change In the policy toward Korea.
The emperor Of Korea has cabled his
sympathy to the emperor of Japan as well
as to Princess Ito at Oiso. The assassin
probably will be tried at Dairen. The al
legged accomplices have been arrested and
It is believed that the investigation will
show that the plot was Matched at Seoul.
The Japanese authorities are determined to
unearth the source because the assassina-
ton of Prince Ito is believed to have
been planned by the same persons who
planned the murder Of Durham White
Stevens, the former diplomatic advisor to
the Korean government at San Francisco
in 1908 The newspapers here comment on
the escape of one of the associates Of the
convicted murderer of Mr.. Stevens.
The leading statesmen of Japan, who
have been interviewed on the subject as
sert that the death ofPrince Ito will not
affect the avowed policies at home and
abroad
While Prince Ito was powerful and pop
ular the general policy Of the Japanese
government today is not dictated by the
elder statemen but by the active politi-
clans who are determined to follow peace

Lifeboat Blown
Away from Coast;
Twenty Drowned
Efforts of Life Savers Are Futile at
Wreck of Hestia-0nly Six
Are Saved.

ST. JOHN, Oct. N.-In the hope OF being
able to pick up some of the crew of the
wrecked Donaldson line steamer, Hestia,
several tugs and other craft put out from
this port early today for Seal Cove, Grand
Mansn Island. where the Hestla ran upon
a ledge early yesterday morning and where
more than q score of persons are believed
to have perished.
The volunteer rescuers are anxious to
know tho fate OF one little lffeboat, which,
overcrowded with men, was the last to
leave the Hestia. When last observed, the
occupants OF the frail craft were struggling
in the heavy sea. The wind at the time of
the accident was blowing a gale off shore
and today, although it had diminished con-
siderably. It stil blew from the land and
it was the opinion that the lifeboat had
been carried out to sea,
The Hestia struck the ledge at 1:lO a. m.
yesterday. according TO Third Mate
Stewart, one of the men rescued by ths
Seal Cove life savers. The condition Of the
six mon rescued was pitiable. Left on the
wrecked vessel with the last boat gone
they were In a condition of exhaustion
when taken off by the life savers. Third
Mate Stewart broke down and cried when
taken into the life boat, and it was long
time before any information could be OBJ
tained from him.
A heavy northeasterly gale is believed to
have been responsible for the Hestia' S
fate, although it is supposed that a mis-
take of the man at the wheel in believ.

JOHN BELL HURT.

Akeley Herald Tribune: John
Bell, member Of the Akeley baseball
team. had his right leg badly
splintered just above the ankle,
Wednesday, while playing third base
for the locals at Park Rapids. Scherer
of Park Rapids was running from
second to third and made slide, feet
fret. Bell, in attempting to catch the
ball, in some manner got tangled up
with Scherer. The breaking of the
bones could be distinctly heard all
over the diamond. One of the bones
protruded through the flesh and made
an ugly and painful wound. John
was brought home last evening, where
he will be laid up for three months or
more. The Park Rapids people did
everything possible for the comfort OF
the unfortunate ball player. The game
was nice and clean and no blame
attaches to anyone, it being an &C.
cident pure and simple.
