HAD THEIR ENEMIES
COUNTS ITO AND YANAGATA
SHARE TIE COMMON LOT.
They Seemed Such Fixtures In
tho Frame of the japanese Ad.
ministrati0n that Surprise at the Re-
ported Crisis is Expressed Among Their
Countrymen-No Opinions HaEarded as
to Who the Coming Prime Minister will
be in Case Ito has Ketired-weather
Bureau Changcs-Washington News.

Washington. Aug. 1s-No informa-
ton has been received at the japanese
legation in confirmation or denial or
the report that a cabinet crisis exists
in Japan, though the legation would
not necessarily be informed OF such
an occurrence unless in case OF the
formation Of new ministry
The report of dissolution was, how
ever. surprise to the members Of the
legation and caused great interest.
While accustomed TO look upon Counts
Ito and Yamagata as almost perman-
ent parts Of the japanese government.
they admit that there has been dissat-
isfaction expressed among the oppo-
sition politicians concerning the recess
sion from the terms Of the original
treaty and ii is surmised that any
cabinet changes will be due to this
crisis.
They think. however. that a change
on this account is improbable as in
Japan the ministry is the creation of
the emperor and it's continuance in
Office is in no wise dependent upon
popular approval except so far as the
ministers may personally be influence
ed by it.
Furthermore they find II difficult
to realize that there should be any
misunderstanding on the question OF
rank. Both Ito and Yamagata are
counts. The former holds highest dec
orations within the gift of the emperor,
and the latter is a marshal of the en-
pire. 1t is not understood why men
who have already been so highly hon.
ored should make trouble over the
question of the conference Of an honor
which would be only a slight advance
over their present status.
No one at the legation will venture
Count Ito as prime minister in case
OF his permanent retirement.
