carriage of the Mikado as his Majesty
was being driven to the imperial uni
vrrsity to attend the commencement
ceremony yesterday. Hayashi was
caught by the escorting guards, but not
until he had reached the side Of the
carriage and thrown into the Emperor :
lap piece of paper containing his up,
peal.
K. Xxi, minister of the interior and
General Oshima, minister of war, who
were responsible for the disrespectful
accident, have requested the Emperor
to punish them. The feeling in this city
against these officials, who proved so
careless of the Emperor 3 life that they
failed to prevent the accident, which
might have been bomb outrage, is
exceedingly strong.
Emperor YoshihitO was calm during
the eNcitment that followed the throw.
ing of the paper, and merely smiled
when the, missive huttered to the bot
tom of the carriuge. He insisted upon
proceeding to the university for the
ceremony.
