Japan cannot shut her eyes to this fact, and will therefore have to be less exacting in her demands upon China. The affair is most un- fortunate for Japan at this most critical moment.. for although we felt certain that LI HUNO-CHANG's mission would end in failure, we now feel inclined to believe that this unforeseen attempt to take his life may end in peace being soon declared between the two countries.
