N OKIO, Oct 26.-Hirobumi Ito, a
prince of Japan, but the greatest

assassinated by a Korean today, mad

the degradation of immediate anneXa-
ton, hoping to build up that country
anew.
He was shot down as he alghteo
from a special train at Harbln' Man
churia, whittier he went from TOXIC III
his capacity as president of the prlVy
council on a mission of peace.
prior to his departure Prince Ito SAID
to the Associated Press;
'I am going on my own lnltlatlve'
with the approval of my emperor, WIN
the hope of securing a petter uiluei
standing with China and of assuring
the world that Japan's intentions IN
Manchuria are amicable to China ana
friendly to the commerce of all nations
When 1 return 1 hope to give posltlVe
evidence of this"
Undoubtedly Prince Ito intended 10
inaugurate and enforce distinct pol
lev in Manchuria, but the exact haIule
of this was not disclosed.
MARQUIS Katsura, the premier anu
minister of finance, said concerning the
assassination:
.eThe death of Prince Ito will not
change The policies of Japan. The pa
cific motives of Prince Ito ever Will be
maintained and the traditions left by
him will always be followed"
Entire Nation In Mourning
The entire nation is in mourning; the
flags on the foreign embassies have
been placed at half mast, while all pub
lie and private functions have been
abandoned a The japanese and foreign
newspapers appear with black borders.
Only the death of the emperor could
arouse similar demonstrations of SYM

Perhaps Prince Ito's death causes

cause he was idolized by the masses as

day. was killed at the moment the

the noisy welcome that greeted him as
he stepped down from the coach that
he had occupied in the railroad train.
Smiling and bowling. he turned to
make his WAY toward the Russian
finance minister, NJ. Kokovsoff, who
was awaiting him on the station plat
form a few PAGES distant.
Suddenly half dozen revolver shots
fired in quick succession, were heard
followed by the cries Of those stand

been wounded or imagined themselves
to be.
At the second report Prince Ito
staggered and fell. 1t was found sub

consciousness, and died twenty min

The fusillade of shots threw the

PRESIDENT UNABLE TO
ATTEND BANQUET GIVEN
IN EXECUTIVES HONOR

CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo-, Oct. 26.-
Twenty minutes before sunrise this
morning, President Taft stepped from
his flagship, the Oleander, as 1t docked
here at O'Clock.
This city, the first stop on the trip
from st. Louis by boat to New Orleans,
greeted the president with cheering.
Thousands of people arrived during
the night by rail and wagon.
While the levee was thronged, the
greatest crowd was at the state normal
school, one mile from the city where
President Taft was driven in an auto
mobile. In the natural amphitheater,
the chief executive was presented to
the citizens of southeastern Missouri
by Congressman c. c. Crow. Mayor
M. E. Lemming presided at the meet
ing. one of the features of which was
the planting of tree.
The chilly October morning reVer-
berated with cheers when a gold badge
was pinned on the lapel of the presi-
dents overcoat The badge was a gift
of the citizens Because the schedule
called for only one hours time here
the presidents address was brief.
Taft Tired Out
What with his strenuous day in st.
Louis yesterday, and his strained
throat, President Tart was completely
tired out last night, and an dour after
the boats left the city he sent word to
the governors boat, the st. Paul, that
he would have to be excused from at
tending the banquet arranged for him
until later in the trip.
Elaborate plans for the feast had to
be changed in few minutes, and
there was much hurrying and con-
fusion. The viands intended for the
banquet were put back into the re-
frigerators and the governors were
given a lonely and frugal repast.
Not the least amusing feature of the
incident were the frantic efforts Of the
newspaper men to send out kills" on
their elaborately detailed stories of the
banquet, including several of the gov
ernors' speeches.
They begged in vain to get ashore at
some telegraph station, then called
loudly to people on the bank that the
president was i'll, hoping that in this
way a warning would get to their
offices.
All devices were in vain. however,
and the stories of the dinner had to
stand.

men, the creator of the cabinet and the
friend of the emperor himself.
The boy crown prince of Korea is re-
ported to have been inconsolable when
the news of the assassination of his
aged grand tutor was broken to him:
For two years the crown prince had
been a resident of Japan, and the fire.
quent companion of Prince Ito, who
formed an affection for him which was
warmly reciprocated. The fact that he
was assassinated by Koreans was es-
pecially shocking to the youth, who was
well informed as to Prince Ito's plans
regarding Korea.
The posthumous honors have not yet
been announced, but it Is certain that
they will be the highest in the gift of
the emperor and that the funeral will
equal that of a prince of the blood A
warship will bear the body to Yoko-
hama from Darien, probably arriving
week hence. The grand chamberlain
will accompany the body, with a naval
and military guard of honor. No de-
tails of the funeral have been arranged.
The newspapers without exception
editorially express horror at the act,
pointing out that Prince Ito was the
Koreans best friend even in the face
of opposition at home. He looked for
the regeneration of Korea, and endeav-
ored to alleviate it's condition.

TT ICKMAN, KY, Oct. 26.-Speaker
Cannon, it was made known to-
IL day, is not in complete accord
with Mr.. Taft in the deep waterways
plan after all. In a speech at Cairo
Mr. Cannon baked at the presidents
proposition to issue bonds to pay for
the improvements. He declared that
work should be carried on only as
rapidly as it can be paid for out of
current funds jim the treasury. The
speakers address followed one by the
president, in which Mr. Taft reiterated
his position in favor of deep waterways
where it can be demonstrated that the
plans for improvement are feasible, are
necessary and can be carried to COM
pletion without too great expenditure
of money.
After twenty-four hours on the river
the Taft party arrived at Hickman this
afternoon. Mr.. Taft spoke from stand
erected on the levee. The president to-
night was the guest of the governors
who are making the trip down the river
on the steamer ST. Paul, which imme-
diately follows the Oleander, on which
the president is travelling. He had been
invited to dinner last night, but was
so fatigued by the effort of speaking
several times in st. Louis that he
begged to be excused until this evening.
The st. Paul was brought up in mid
stream alongside the presidents boat
this evening and lashed there while he
and his party were conducted on board.
The same proceeding was gone
through today shortly after the fleet
left Cairo, and the president was pre-
sented with a possum already cooked
and surrounded by delicious sweet po-
tatoes, ready to be served at his lunch
con table.
Possum Served Taft
Although the impression has gained
ground since the Atlanta dinner of last
winter that the president was fond of
possum, today was only the third time
he had eaten it. Although enjoying the
novelty of the dish, Mr.. Taft has ad-
mitted to his most intimate friends that
he does not altogether "hanker" after
it as steady article of diet.
Leaving Cairo today Postmaster Gen
eral Hitchcock and Secretary Nagel OF
the department of commerce and labor,
who had made the trip from st. Louis
to this point on the steamer Erastus
willis, Joined the president on the
Oleander. They also were guests OF the
governors at dinner tonight. Secretary
of War Dickinson will rejoin the presi-
dents party at Memphis tomorrow"
Postmaster General Hitchcock nearly
got left this morning at Cape Girardeau.
When he reached the river banks all OF
the boats were out in the stream. His
might was quickly discovered, however,
and the Erastus Wells put back to
pick him UP.
The president arose before daylight
to keep his appointment at Cape
Girardeau.
Great crowds of people on the river
banks watched the presidents flotilla
float by.
