TOKIO BOMB OUTRAGE
ATTEMPT ON EMPEROR’S LIFE NO POLITICAL SIGNIFICANCE (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) TOKIO, January 8. Because there is no political significance attached to the bomb outrage, Cabinet’s resignation has not been accepted. Cabinet tendered its resignation because it held itself responsible in typical Japanese fashion for the failure to prevent the attempt on the Emperor’s life. The bomb was thrown at the carriage. A horse and guardsman were injured. The assailant is a young Korean named Rihosho. Another bomb was found in his pocket. KING’S MESSAGE TO EMPEROR. CONGRATULATIONS ON ESCAPE. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, January 8. King George sent a telegram to the Emperor of Japan congratulating him on his escape from the attempt upon his life. CHANGES IN THE CABINET. TOKIO, January 9. (Received Jan. 10, at 7 p.m.) In compliance with the Emperor's un* precedently cordial command the Umikai Cabinet is remaining in office, but changes in the Home and War Ministers are reported to be pending.
