bly die of bia wound, a he waa shot

The convicts were hidden in the
thick brueb which covers the bill, and
the tnanbanters happened upon them
most uneipectcdly. The convicta, who
were well armed with rifles, fired a vol

Toaio, Aog. 1. Although Marquis Ito
haa been made president of the privy
council, formerly presided over by Mar
quia Saionji, the latter lores no rang
by tba change. Count Maankata and
Marquis Yamagata have been appointed
member of tha privy council. Tba
main point about tha elevation of Mar
quis Ito is that it clear bit way to the
premiership. IncMaataliy it com
poses the cabinet difficulty atj alloaa
an unbroken front to be presented to
foreign nations, but there it a ttrong
belief that it also herald the calling
of the marquis to control the difficult
fr reign tituation at any time needed.
It ia believed that Marquis Ito, who
ha the full confidence of the emperor
is in favor of conservative measure to
ward Russia and that he will exbauat
diplomatic means of obtaining a quid
pro quo in Maachuria before resorting .
to hostilities. He ia regarded aa a
safe man" in a crisis.
The foreign situation grow more
acute. The newa that Arrerica is us
ing the Manchnrian question as a lever
in the Kishinet petition matter revived
hope of her assistance among tha anti
