The Russiso authorities greatly regret that the incident took place in their jurisdiction, and they have since shown the greatest possible respect to the Prince's remains and sympathy for Japan. In especial M. Kokotoff, the Russian Financial Minister is greatly concerned at the Prince's death. Although only two hours elapsed between the assassination and the depanure of the Prince's remains from Harbin the Minister had wreaths made and placed them on the Prince's body, When, the train commenced to move, he ordered the Rassing troops to play a funeral march, while he himsali kusit on the plat. form with bowed head.
