nent business men Of the city took part.
George F. Reese. president of the Board
Of Trade, presided, and the glowing trib-
utes paid by the speakers to Baron Ito
touched the visitors. especially Baron
Shibusawa, the head Of the commission
Joseph S. Frslinghuysen, President of
the Senate. welcomed the visitors TO the
state IN a-speech in which he extended TO
them the sympathy of the people of New
Jersey for the loss Of Baron Ito. Mayor
Haussling welcomed the visitors 10 the
city. United States Senator John Keau. a
member of the Committee on Foreign Re
lations. praised the object of the visitors.
When you return TO your country he
said. you can tell your people that while
we spend large sums for our army and
navy II is done for nothing but peace"
Baron Shibusawa thanked the Newarkers
for their reception. Referring to the death
of Baron Ito, he said My heart is so
filled with sorrow that hardly have cour-
age to speak of him. Prince Ito was iden-
titled with Japan for fifty years. He was
the personification of loyalty to emperor
and country. l had known him personally
for forty years"
The feeling between the two nations
said the baron, referring to Japan and
America. was always friendly. but never
more so than now. Successful commerce.
he said, existed between nations which
understood each other, and the friendship
and extension of commerce between Japan
and America were proof of that.

spoke.

a White psl.E Guards surrounded the hotel,
and only Prince l'o's personal staff was ad-
mitted
Throughout the DAY teleeraus poured into
Toxic from every country Of the world. and
the officials of the Foreign Office are busily
engaged in answering them. Before the Of
hclal announcement. difficulty OF q purely
technical nature was encountered in avoid
ing acknoTl edgsment of the statesman's
death. When the news vas officially an,
nounced, an ordinance was issued and ante
dated, bestoUing unusual honors one of
these being advancement from junior 20 the
first grade IN the court rank.
Those closest TO the throne say that the
Emperor is deeply affected by The assassina-
ton of the prince He has asked for every
detail, and. apparently. is unable to un-
derstsnd Why the murder was committed,
in view Of the evident popularity OF Prince
Ito After being informed Of all the facts.
50 far as they have been learned here, the
Emperor ordered that there must be NJ
change in the policy toward Corea,
The Emperor of Corea has sent by cable
his sympathy 10 the Emperor Of Japan as
we'll as to Princess Ito, at Oiso. The
sassin proha bly, will be tried at Dairer.
Nine alleged accomplices have been ar
rested, and ii is believed that the investi-
cation will show that the plot was hatche1
al Seoul. The japanese authorities are de-
termned 10 find its source, because the as
sassination OF Prince Ito IS believed to have
been planned by the same persons who
planned the murder Of Durham White
Stevens, the former diplomatic adviser 10
the Corean 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.
Leading statesmen Of Japan assert that
the death of the prince Will not af
feet the avowed policies at home and
abroad. While he was powerful and popu-
lar, the general policy OF the japanese
government to-day is not dictated by the
Elder Statesman. but by the active politi-
clans. who are determined to follow peace
full development.
A statement issued by the Foreign Office
to-day says that Prince Itos plans for the
reformation of Corea will be carried out.
The statement was called out by the ap-
pearance in some sensational newspapers
Of editorials demading immediate annexa-
ton.
The warship bearing the body will arrive
at Yekosuka on November .. when the Cot-
fin will be taken Immediately to the princes
late residence at Toxic. An imperial ordi-
nance directs that a state funeral such as,
with three exceptions, has never been given
for other than a prince of the blood be

UyITNESS UNDER FIRE.
Gibson's Memory Suffers an
lStcnton UiU Contest.

The trial OF the contest over the will OF
Mrs. Louisa VI. Stenton. mother OF Mrs.
Alice Kinnan, whose murder at her Bronx
home three years ago remains one OF the
unsolved mysteries in the city's police rec
ords. was continued yesterday before Sur
rogate Thomas. One of the witnesses was
Burton c. Gibson, a lawyer, who figured In
the mystery. He says that he drew the
will Of Mrs Stenton. who was herself much
of a mystery to her neighbors in The
Bronx.
Under the cross-examination Of Nelson
s. Spencer, Counsel for the relatives con-
testing the WILL supplemented by the ques-
tons of Surrogate Thomas, the witness be-
came somewhat confused and his memory
suffered. The Surrogate asked him If there
had been any agreement between him ana
T. Percy McElroy. who SAYS he is the sole
legatee under the will of Mrs. StentOn.
Gibson answered in the negative. Stenton
asserts that the original will was lost and
seeks TO have probated copy of the docu-
rnent. against which the relatives OF the
dead woman are contesting. II has been
adduced in the trial that Mrs. Gibson made
the copy of the Will on the day the original
was drawn.
Gibson said he knew McElroy only cas-
ually. and that although he drew the Origi-
nal will ana retained two copies, he had
not seen McElroy from the second or third
day after the murder OF Mrs Kinnan until
last January. But he had tried. he said.
10 get into communication with him since
the death of Mrs. Stenton last fall
Another important witness yesterday was
CAPTAIN Samuel Z. Price. in command OF
the Bronx detective bureau. Captain
Price was called to show that although
the Stentor home was searched from top
to bottom several times Immediately FOL
lowing the murder Of Mrs. Kinnsn nothing

Prince Ito, said to-day that the assas-
sinatton OF his father at Harbin yester-
day would add new strength to Japanese
ideals The marquis spent a sleepless
night. The news Of his fathers death
reached him in a cipher telegram from
the japanese Embassy at London. He
said:
MY fathers murder was an act Of
COrean revenge. There is a strong party
there which detests Japanese rule and
would be disposed rather to accept Rus
sian regime in Corea." He recalled the
murder o: Durham White Stevens al San
Francisco in March. 1908. and said that Mr..
Stevens vas assassnated because he had
supported the policy Of Prince Ito
II believe. he added, that the death of
my father will add new strength 10 Japan
csc ideals, but I do not think that il will
have other consequences as far as Corea
is concerned, az he had no official post in
that country"

ter OF ceremonies at the Court OF Toxic

CALLS lTo's VISIT PERSONAL.

Rome, Oct 27.-The japanese Ambassa-

wish that the press would correct what he
considered a false impression regarding the
purpose Of Prince Ito's visit to Manchuria.
The published assertion. which had even
been attributed to NJ. Iswolsky, Russian
Foreign Minister. that the prince had gone
to Manchuria on a mission having TO do
with the relations of Russia and Japan
was untrue, ne said
On the contrary. the trip was private
one and the exchanges between the prince
and the Russian Minister Of Finance were
those of ordinary courtesy only. The meet
ing of the two men. he said. was due 10
chance.
