Through his official position, Mr.. lshi-
bashi WINS well acquainted with the
prince and with his policies. Mr.. ISM
baehi said
prince Ito was regarded as the
greatest statesman in Japan and am
shocked at the news of his assasslna-
ton. Our nation will be greatly
erieved. Some of the people of Japan
did not agree with the princes Corean
policies, yet all regarded him as one
of the greatest men that Japan mas
ever produced.
He has often said to me that on his
death he would like to be buried on the
summit of Chohaku mountain, which
lies between Corea and Manchuria. 1t
was his wish to devote his mind ana
body to the reconstruction of the Co
rcan nation and the betterment of the
Corean people. He actually died for
the sake of Corea. %
.I,rince Ito was very moderate in
his Corean policy, so much so that he
mer as having entertained too weak
policy in Corcan affairs.
His death at the hands of CO.
rean is something most unexpected. l
believe he will be mourned greatly IN
Corea. while the younger generation OF
the Japanese will hereafter regard him
with veneration.
How astonished and shocked by the
news Japan was I can imagine in this
far-distant country. While we real
ize What blow his death was to Jap
an. dare say that there are many of
his successors in that country. and
that through and after his death there
will be no change in the affairs Of the
Far East and the policy of Japan, both
International and external, will re-
main the same"
The announcement was made that
tine program for the commissioners
-four hours stay in Worcester would
not be changed as result of the re-
ceipt of the news of the death or
Prince Ito. The commissioners. how
ever, decided not to attend the bar

should China build the Kirin railway
east, she must borrow half the required
capital from Japan, thus insurins jap
anese control OF an important branch
from Japan's main line toward Vladivos-
tok. China was compelled to transfer the
Taishichao- Newchwang to Japan.
Japan also refused to discuss the alb
sorption of sovereignty along the South
Manchurian railway. which is far greater
than ever charged against Russia. Her
attitude was in glazing contrast with
Russia's recognition of China's sover-
eign right in the recent Hardin agree

bassador now en- route to Washington, in

churia on any official mission. He point
ed to. the fact that the princes sever
ance of his relations with the active ad-
ministration of affairs in Japan dated
from his retirement from the Office of
japanese resident governor of Corea
about year ago.
Ito was a man fond of original inves-
tigation. He always desired to learn at
first hand the conditions which he was
obliged to meet. In the opinion of the
embassy people here, that was the reason
for his presence in Manchuria when he
met his death. OF course he would con-
fer with such man of affairs as M. Ko-
kovsoff, the Russian minister of finance,
who happened to be in Hardin. But the
fhnr in he
visit nothing in the nature of formal
appointment between the two men.
The officials were quick to draw par
allel between the killing of Prince Ito
and the assassination in San Francisco
about year and a half ago OF Durham
Stevens. who had been Prince Ito's right
hand man In the reorganization of the
Corean government following the Rus
sian-Japanese war. 1t was known that
the lives of both Ito and Stevens were
in constant jeopardy and every precau-
ton was taken by the Japanese officers
to protect them. 1t remained for each
of these men to meet death after they had
concluded their work in Corea and ap-
parently had returned to ways of peace
and safety.
@ A very probable result of this last as
sassination will be an indefinite postpone
ment of the negotiations regarding the
railroad conditions in Manchuria.
There is said to be striking resem-
blance between Japan's claims to supe-
rior influence in south Manchuria and
those Of Russia to dominant position
in northern Manchuria, and this commu-
nifty of interest may have had important
results had the meeting between Prince
Ito and Minister of Finance Kokovsoff
not been prevented by the assassin's bull
let's.

those who have done exalted service.
as one who guided japan toward mod
ern institutions and who constructed
the road for further progress"
Among long sketches OF apprecia-
tion for Prince Ito appearing in the
press are occasional references to the
Japanese statesmen as having been the
principal agent of Japan in destroying
Corean institutions and in departing
from the principle enunciated SO re-
Gently as 1904, guaranteeing the in
tegrity in the kingdom of Corea. One
writer says: Japan placed upon
Corea crushing system of admins
tration through Prince Ito"

little information. Five Coreans are
reported to have participated in an
assault, to have fired many shots. Lare
in the afternoon the foreign ambassa-
doris and diplomats with members OF
the cabinet gathered at the foreign
office. One Of the first diplomats to
reach the foreign office was Amerl-
can Ambassador O'Brien. He was i'm
mediately followed by Russian Am
bassador Malevitch. Ambassador
OBrien said to representative of
The Associated Press:
Il have always regarded Prince Ito
as a really able man. His influence
has always been for peace and prog
ress. l regard the loss of him at this
particular juncture as particularly I'M
fortunate"
Premier Katsura and Field Marshal
Prince Yamagata were among the
high officials who gathered in the re-
ception room of the foreign Office.
Count Komura, the foreign secretary,
went to the palace late in the after
noon and carried the i'll tiding to the
Emperor The latter showed unusual
emotion and Immediately summoned
the court chamberlain and others of
the Imperial household. The Emperor
dispatched special messenger to
DISC charged with the duty of break
ing the news to the Princess Ito Count
InOuye, who is the oldest and closest
friend Prince Ito had, remained in
Count komura's room throughout the
afternoon awaiting further information
from Hardin. No arrangements have
yet been made for the funeral but
the highest honors will be accorded
probably to the dead statesman.
The warship Iwate has been ordere l
to sail tomorrow or Darien where it
will receive the body Of Prince Ito and
bring it to Yokohama. The imperial
chamberlain will go with the Iwate
and attend the body homeward.
The newspapers while almost bar
rem of news dispatches on the subject,
comment at great length and print
pages of eulogy. Many of them blame
agitators including some foreigners in
Corea.

had held no official positions since his
resignation early in the year as resi-
dent general of Korea but during his
occupancy. of that post he challenged
the attention of the world by bringing;
Korea under the domination of Japan
and caused the abdication of the
Korean emperor whose sympathies
were intensely anti-Japanese. In this
Office Ito earned the hatred of con-
siderable element of patriotic Koreans.
The Prince was born Sept. 2. 1841

Okube of the Home Department and
in this office negotiated with Ii Hung

Japan's justification for her war with

pointed premier and minister of the
imperial household department. He
was created count in 1884. During
the Russo Japanese war which he did
his utmost to prevent, Ito remained

conclusion of peace with Russia he
was sent as resident general to Korea
and made a prince.

were in scant supply. and while this
class suffered from the general slump
the average sales we're better than or

fewer fancy horses offered this week
on which to obtain top prices.
The best. fresh heavy draft horses
sold at $35900$450, but the average
price on draft horses of fair quality
and weight was made around $3.50 per
head. Lighter commercial horses, milk
