GREAT CONSTERNATION
Entir* Empire Grief-Stricken Whole-
sale Arrests Being Made May In-
volve Countries in Another War.
Tokio, Opt. 28—Prince Hirobumi Ito,
aged 71. Japan's leading statesman, wus
shot three times at Harbin, Manchuria,
by a Korean fanatic, and fatally wound-
ed. The announcement of the tragedy
has caused great grief and consternation
throughout the empire.
Ito went to Harbin to hold a confer-
ence with the liutsian minister of fi-
nance, Kokovsoff.
2|When Ito arrived at the station, and
was being welcomed by Tanaka, of the
railway, the Korean tired several shots.
Tanaka was also injured, and the crowd
became panic-stricken, and during the
oenfusion the murderer escaped.
The police have been reinforced by
troops, and the city is under martial
law, and Koreans are being arrested by
the wholesale,
The Manchurian railway becomes the
property of China in thirty years, but
its possession, in the meantime, is of tre-
mendous strategic importance to both
Japan and Russia.
The conference to be held was in re-
gard to the sale of this road, and was a
very delicate mission.
Ito was four times Japanese premier,
governor of provinces, and served as dip-
lomat to many countries, in which posi-
tion he guided Jupan's destinies.
For many years he was known] as the
mikado's elder brother.
The general belief is the killling was
the result of a carefully laid Korean plot
to drive the Japanese out of Korea, and
was started by the killing of Stevens in
San Francisco March, 1908.
Tokio, Oct. 26—Latest advices say Ito
died several hours after the shooting,
and that the body was already en route
to Japan, accompanied by the Russian
ambasador at Pekin. The assassin gain
«d admittance to the station by being
disguised. When captured, he said it
was personal vengeance that prompted
the murder, a9 Ito, while governor of
Korea, had condemned to death several
of his relatives. Consul-General Kawa-
kan was badly shot, and Ito's secretary
was also injured.
Washington, Oct. 28—It is believed
Ito's killing will cause a general out-
break ifi Korea against the Japanese,
who are systematically looting the coun-
try. A revolt has been smoldering for a
long time, and many outbreaks and
guerrilla warfare, with much loss of life,
is predicted.
