O is a favourite place of resort with residents of Kyoto and visitors. It is famous for its beautiful scenery, especially around the Biwa lakes. As it is only ten miles by rall from Kyoto, probably the Crewitch would be spending the day at Olzu, returning to Kyoto at night. Ozu is not open to foreigners, who can only go there, after procuring passports from their own consular representatives, who are responsible to the Japanere Government for persons so licensed. Hence if the Czarewitch attacked by a foreigner Russian Nihilist, for instance the Consul would be answerable for his being allowed to get to Otzu, This makes it almost impossible that any emissary of any European organisation could have instigated the assault,

We are >iso assured that there is no native body in the least likely to have planned any attack such as this. There is the small section ot Soshi, which manifes's some resentment towards foreigners on the grounds of unfair returns made for Japanese friendliness to them, especially in the matter of com. mercial treaties; but this feeling could cer tainly not account for actual violence. The most probable explanation of the outrage is that it was committed by some fanatic without any premeditation or conspiracy, and for no political reason that in fact, the man was Crazy, and the inspiration was a madman's delusion. A similar case occurred two years ago, when the Minister for Education was assassinated by student, for no apparent reason at all. As is shown by the concluding sentence

Is the House of Commons last night Mr. Maurice Healy, M.P. for Cork, challenged Mr. C. S.

Mr. Healy proceeded to deliver a violent and singing denuncia lon of Mr. Parnell, whom he asserted, with probing his Cork bitterness, was not fit to speak constituents. On the conclusion of the attack the attention of the, Commons was directed to Mr. Parnell. The leader of a disrupted party

The House expected Mr. Painell to make a reply to Mr. Healy's jarring references to him, but it was disappointed, and he remained the calmest member of the Commons at that critical moment.
