Picking, Oct. 27.-The body of Prince Ito. which was brought to Darien by train today. will be placed on board the Japanese warship Iwate and borne to Yokosuka, port near Yokohama. From Harbin the body was escorted as far as Kwanchengtzo by Russian officials.
 The assassination of Prince Ito be- came known in Picking at the hour that the government received the re- port of the speech which the prince recently made at Darien. In this speech the statesman emphasized the fact that it was Japan's duty and in- tention as we'll as the duty of the Jap anese in Manchuria to respect the pol icy of the open door and to equal op- portunity for all.. He said that the Russian and Japanese interests in Manchuria were identical and that Manchuria would develop in keeping with the growth there of Russian and Japanese interests.
 The speech made a good impression here where the assassination of the prince is regarded as having removed the Japanese most likely to compose existing contentious In Manchuria.

Honolulu. Oct. 27.-The Korean Pa- triotic League has issued a circular ex- pressing satisfaction at the assassina- ton of Prince Ito. 1t says:
 Now is the time for our twenty mill loins of people to secure their inde- pendence. Ito is dead. He brought to our country the rule of the Japanese and enslaved the people. His selfish- ness has received its reward. His crimes were objectionable. and what happened to him was a fitting reward for his trickery and just punishment from our country.
 Tt Is not known to us who the pa- triotic Korean was who shot Ito. but whoever 1t was, he did it for the sake of his country and his name will be written with honor in our history for ever, as an example of self-sacrificing patriotism before twenty millions of slumbering people.

Rome, Oct. 27.-Japanese Ambassa- dor Hayashi today expressed wish that the press would correct what he considers a false impression regard ing the purpose of Prince Ito's visit to Manchuria.
 The published assertion which had even been attributed to Russian For eirn Minister Iswolsky that Prince Ito had gone to Manchuria on a mission having to do with the relations of Rus sia and Japan. was untrue, he said. On the contrary, the trip was a priv ate one and the exchanges between the prince and the Russian minister of fi- nance were those of ordinary courtesy only, and their meeting due to chance.

six Men Survive

Eastpoint. Me. Oct. z7.--The six mes who, half starved and benumbed from exposure. were rescued from their per- ilous position in the rigging of the stranded steamer Hestia yesterday, are believed tonight to be the only survi- vors of the forty-one men and boys who were aboard the Donaldson Liner when she struck the jagged old Pro- prietor Ledge, of Seal Cove, Grand Manan Island, on Monday morning.
 Three bodies came ashore on the southwest coast of Nova Scotia today. two in a boat which drifted on the beach near Yarmouth, and the third in another boat originally belonging to q sister ship of the Hestia. which was found near salmon River, fifteen miles further north.
 There is little doubt that these ars two of the boats which started or from the wreck. each well loaded with men Up to tonight the bodies had not been identified.

When tho second boat. which capsized and threw the occupants into the sea righted and fioated away in the darkness one man was seen in 1t.
 A recapltulation today of the steam CTS lists showed that besides a crew of thirty six. including Captain New man, two boy passengers, and three returning cattlemen were on board. and that twenty-eight persons were In the boat which was successfully launched. but probably lost before day. light.

 It was positively stated today by Third Mate Stewart, one of the survi- vors. that it was Monday morning. and not yesterday that the Hestia was wrecked.
 The discovery of the plight of the vessel was delayed because of thick weather which obscured a view from shore all day Monday.
 The known survivors were dashed In the rigging nearly all of that time. about thirty-eight hours and were without food or water to drink so that when taken of by the life savers their condition was pitiable. It was believed that the Canadian authorities would take charge of the l steamer as far as possible and pre- Isvent the footing of the craft by wreck CTS.

Body of Prince .

Tokio, Oct. 27.-The body of Prince Ito, the murdered elder statesman of Japan, will be taken aboard the Jap- anesc warship Iwato at Dairen. and will be brought to Japan. accompanied by full suite representing the entire nation.
 The body lay today in a hotel at Dali white pail. Guards surround the hotel and only the princes personal stan was admitted.
 Throughout the day telegrams pour ed into Tokio from every country of the world and the officials of the For eign Office are busy in answering them. In the official announcement of Prince Ito's death. difficulty was encountered. which was of purely technical nature. in avoiding acknowledgement of the statesman's actual demise This was obviated later. when the death~was of f1cially announced, an ordinance being simultaneously Issued and ante-dated, bestcwing unusual honors. one of these being advancement from junior to the first grade in the court rank.
 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 mur- der was committed, In view of the evf- dent popularity of Prince Ito. But when informed of all the facts. so far as they have been learned here. the Emperor ordered that there must be no change in the policy toward Korea.
 Sympathy in Korea.
 The Emperor of Korea has cabled his sympathy to the Emperor of Japan as we'll as to Prince Ito at Itois..
 The assassin probably will be tried at Dairen. Nine alleged accomplices have been arrested and it Is believed the investigation will show that the plot was matched at Seoul. The Jap anese authorities are determined to unearth the source. because the assas- sination of Prince Ito Is believed to have been planned by the same per- sons who planned the murder of Dur ham White Stevens. the former diplo- matic adviser to the Korean Govern ment at San Francisco in 1908.
 The newspapers here comment on the escape of one of the associates of the convicted murderer of Mir. Stevens.
 The leading statesmen of Japan who have been interviewed on the sub ject assert that the death of Prince Ito will not affect the avowed policies at home and abroad. While Prince Ito was powerful and popular, the general policy of the Japanese Government to- day Is not dictated by the elder states men but by the active politicians, who are determined to follow peaceful de- Velopment.

short stnx in Memphis

Memphis, Tenn, Oct 27-President William H. Taft and his distinguished party had a great welcome on arrival at the wharf here this morning.
 All Memphis and thousands of vis- itors thronged the wharf and bluffs long before the imposing notilla of the government craft and steamboats made their appearance On the broad expanse of the Mississippi River above Hopefield Bend, and waited with eager expectancy the arrival of the distin- guished guests who were to be enter tained for four hours In Memphis. Much was crowded in those four hours.
 When the fotiIla app peared with the steamer Oleander, bearing the Presi- dent and his personal retinue. 300 wards in advance of the long column thanked on either side by the tiny but grim torpedo boats. the pent up enthu- siasm of the gathering pOpuiace burst out into a roar of greeting which echoed and re-echoed across the river to lose itself in the sister State of Arkansas.
 President Taft. happy and smiling over the cordial and enthusiastic re- ception rendered him and his large marty. walked across the gang plank and became in reality the guest of Memphis.

Official Gives Reasons of Order to
Remove Shrubbery From
Graves.

order for the removal of plants and
shrubbery from the graves OF soldiers
buried at Arlington was made neces-
ssry by the large mum Der OF requests
to decorate graves in this manner.
at is believed that uniformity is
especially desired in a military ceule-
terry declared an official today, ind
this could not be effected when frieLds
were allowed 70 decorate graves in
any manner they pleased. We did not
object so much TO flowers, but some
sections OF the cemtery have become
overErown with ivy and shrubbery.
The general appearance is very bad
ct is not true that 300 thriving
rose bushes have been removed.
Though the order was issued six
months ago all plants that are in a
thriving condition are still there and
# is not our intention 10 root up those
already there until they die. When
the scheme of sodding the graves is
carried out the cemetery viii. to my
mind, present a much more uniform
and artistic appearance"
