LI HUNG WILLJEI WELL
The Wound of the Chinese Envoy Is
Not Dangerous.
THE MIKADO ISSUES ORDERS
Says the Law Must lie Obeyed and the
Fanatic Assassin Promptly 1'imlshed.
The Shooting Muy Somewhat Do
lay Pence Negotiations.
Washington, March 23 No official
continuation of the attempted nssissa
tioti of Id Hung Chans has been re
ceived at either the Chinese or Japa
nese legations. The Keneral feeling
here Is one of profound regret that this
venerable Chinese diplomat should
huvt fallen a vletlm to a fanatic's bul
let. Its effec-t upon the peace nootia
itlolis cannot be deteriniited, for much
Will depend upon the result. Should Id
recover after a short Illness, the only
ivsult, It Is believed, would be to delay
a settlement of peace. Should he die
a postponement of the p ace negotia
tions for a number of weeks Is regarded
as Inevitable. So reat Is the confi
dence of the Japanese envoys and the
Japanese people as well in Li's ability
to further a settlement of peace, that
his death would make it dillicult to se
cure another envoy on the part of China,
who would be equally acceptable to
Japan, or who, it Is believed, would so
easily bring the negotiation to a suc
cessful close.
The Assassin's Punish in.-nt.
The punishment which L's assassin
will receive will be both speedy and se
vere. The attack upon Li, who is the
drect representative of the Kniperor of
China, is tantamount to an attack upon
the emperor himself and will, for this
reason, be sternly dealt with. Even
should Li recover, it is regarded as
probable that Koyama, the assassin,
will be condemned to death as a warn
ing to his fellow countrymen.
London, March ".'.A dispatch from
Tokio to the Central News says: Dr.
Sato, the surgeon In attendance upon
Id Huns Chang, has tlegraphed to the
emperor that the Chinese envoy's
wound is In sood condition, and that
there is no cause for anxiety regarding
the result. Id Huns Chang's assailant,
the dispatch further says, is believed to
be Insane.
A special gazette has been published
containing a message signed by the
emperor and the Imperial ministers de
ploring the act of a fanatic against the)
person of an envoy und-r the protec
tion of Japan. The criminal, the mes
sage says, must be punished according
to law, and the nation must respect the
Imperial orders.
A CRISIS IX CANADA.
Deficit of Millions, and Threats of a Bit
ter Itcllziou War. x
Quebee, March SI The political crisis
at Ottawa is prow-ins in Intensity. For
nearly a month there have been almost
dally sittings of the cabinet, and still
the question Is undecided whether ths
ministers will meet in parliament as
usual next month or whether they will
seek permission from the governor-general
to dissolve parliament and appeal
to the country.
A deficit of some millions of dollars In
the Federal finances, owlns to the con
tinued depression of business and con
sequent falling of In Imports and cus
toms dues, Is one of the troubles. Hut
the greater difficulty confronting the
government Is the solution of the Man
itoba school question, which has now
attained such proportions that it almost
threatens the country with a religious
war.

NO RIGHT OF DOMAIN.
Important Supreme Court Decision Af
fecting Trolley Company Property.
Philadelphia. March li.l.-The decision
of the supreme court expressed in the
opinion of Justice Willams In the case
of the Pennsylvania Itallroad company
against the Montgomery County Kail
way company, appealed from the com
mon pleas court of Montgomery coun
ty, which was delivered this morning,
is an exc I!r!g!y Important one to trol
ley companies.
The gist of the opinion Is that the
street railway act gave no right of
eminent domain, and that as the trol
ley lines are incorporated under that
act they have no power to construct
their road, where the taking of prop
erty is Incident or necessary to it, with
out the consent of the property owner.
The practical effect of the decisions
Is to strike down about $.'.i.0Uu.W) of
carital invested In trolley lines over the
state, and It will be necessary for the
projectors of trolley lines, possibly, to
go to the legislature for relief.

ing that it was a spirit form. He also
claims that Stephens was doing the
talking for the spirit.

even If they could start her by con

astrously to the vessel, as the tide had

Prince's Witty I'.nding.
Friedrlclisrulie, March Sr.. TYInce
Hismarck received the members of the
Prussian diet and many members of
the relchstag today. The members of
the PYussdan lower house were wel
comed by Count Herbert liismarek at
the station, pending the 'arrival of the
members of the upper house. To the
Intense surprise of all. Prince l!!s
tnarck, the old chancellor, nppearccl
upon the platform, unite une.Npcctedly.
lie walked erect nnd with a lirm step.
Everybody rttsh"d toward him and the
prince said In a loud tone: "Gentle
men, welcome tn Iauenbergl"
Councillor Kleinschniidt, a member
of the landtag, said to the prince: "The
members of the relchstag have not
yet arrived."
"What'.'" said the ex-clianccllor, "are
they permitted to come'."' This remark
created great laughter.
The Kx-Oianccllor's Address.
Just then the train conveying
the
nu mbers of the relchstag arrived
and
Prince liismarek was driven to
the
castle, the members walking. The en
tire delegation assembled around the
terrace facing the lawn. Several short
addresses wei'e made, to which Prince
liismarek replied In u clear voice:
Accept my warmest thanks for the honor
yo.i have tendered nie. It is to me the
highest d'sl diet ion to see sueli a noble a:
Keinlily united here. 1 should be lediame.l
If the honor was not for -the work 1 have
done, not for my person only. The credit
for the present results achieved I share
v.ith those eo-operatlng with me, who are
now dead, and above all with my greatly
worshipped master under whom 1 worked
so long.
Here the aged ex-chancellor stopped
speaking and cried bitterly, the assem
bly in the meantime being greatly
affected. Regaining his composure the
Prince resumed his remarks in n voice
that choked with emotion.
"What," he said, " could I have done
without Ills uld nnd that of his powerful
army? 1 would have stuck In the sumo

at Oernuin unity, our d nasties, thank

we grasped each other's brut Iter's hand
and marched together against the common
roe. Among the parliamentary faction
the dissension Is deeper and more heated
and common action seems excluded.
Need of Notional reeling.
"The diets," lie said, "ought to tnke n
larger Interest In the foreign policy, They
ought to discuss what is known about the
Instructions a foreign minister receives
and what he does. In the fedurel council
the budget for salaries of foreign min
isters always offers n. chance for de
