Harbin, Manchuria, Oct 27.-Prince
Hirobumi Ito, former japanese presi-

Japan's foremost statesman, was as
sassinated here by Korean who had
followed him here for the express pur-
pose of killing him.
The motive of the assassin was re-
venge. The assassin was arrested.
Almost Immediately on his arrival
here and just as Prince Ito left the
railroad car at the station the attack
was made upon him. The venerable
statesman, accompanied by Russian
Minister of Finance Kokovsoff, was
starting to inspect the guard of honor
drawn up along the platforms when a
pistol shot was heard.
Several more shots were fired in
quick succession, the bullets striking
the prince n the back. Prince Ito
fell mortally wounded.
Three Companions Wounded.
Tnree of the princes companions
also were wounded. bullets striking

II came to Harbin for the sole pur-
pose of assassinating Prince Ito to
avenga my country" the slayer told
his captors.
He also said he had a personal ac-
count to settle with the great Japa-
nese statesman, who, during his stay
In Korea, had ordered the execution
OF several persons closely connected
with the assassin.
Outcome of Organized Plot.
The assassination of Prince Ito ap-
pears to have been the outcome of an
organized plot.
The local authorities, who, antici-
pating the arrival Of Prince Ito, we're
on the lookout for suspicious charac-
ters, arrested three Koreans who
were at the station and were found
to be armed with revolvers.
However, the task of guarding the
prince was rendered difficult by reason
of Japanese Consul General kawa,
kan's request that the railway officials
permit all Japanese to enter the rail
road station 70 greet the prince. The
police point out that it was quite i'm
possible 20 distinguish Koreans from
Japanese by their appearance.
The body of the slain statesman has
already been removed homeward. The
coffin before it was placed on the
train was covered with flowers sent
by M. Kokovscff and the Russian and
Japanese officials.
