Acting Inspector McCulaGh and Charles J.

McCullagh had relieved Capt Kiliilea. who is
doing night duty at Police Headquarters. and
he was on his way up stairs to bed. Just as the
car left the second floor there was screeching
sound, and tho Inspector thought q cat had
been caught In the cables when they wound
around the drum In the cellar.
Presently the car stopped and tho combined
efforts OF McCullagh and the elevator man did
not bulge 1t au inch. The machinist and several
laborers were summoned and they began the
work OF rescue. There Was just enough
room between the top OF the car and
the surface OF the third floor to squeeze
mans body through. They lowered n stool
into the elevator. and by standing on It Nc
CuilRgh and Lyons were able 20 thrust their
arms through the aperture. Then they were
hauled out by the men on the third floor.
The last time the elevators got out of order

crushed that he was obliged to spend seven
weeks in n hospital. II was only a short time
ago that he resumed work Mt Police Head

TOXIC. Japan. Sept. 23.-The Ministerial
crisis in japan has Mt length been terminate By
the appointment OF new Cabinet under the
Presidency OF Count Matsukata. Nearly three
weeks REQUIRED to rccast the Ministry.
As for the policy of the now Ministry Count
Matsukata has to choose between augmentng
the revenue by additional taxation or diminish
ing the expenditures. At present he inclines to-
ward the latter alternative. his plan being to
extend from seven to ten years the com pletion
Of tho programme OF military expansion ap-
proved by the Diet last session. The increase OF
the army TO 100000 men by the year 1902 is. in
some respects. n sentimental measure. For n
long time to japan cannot be in \
position TO utilize such n force abroad. and she
has no apparent need OF IL at home. But the
nations statesmen cvide,lly feel romantic
reluctance 10 bestow upon the navy n greater
measure OF fostering care than upon the army.
though the former certainly needs such attcr-
ttnn lnnch more than the latter
Hence. II Count Matsukata can carry out the
mplinCnttOu he CuutempateS the country's
hcllieereDt capacity Will not be impaired and
the financial strain will be sensib!y relieved.
But he has to anticipate much opposition. and
wlll probably see his proposals defeated by n
large majority In the Diet at the close Of the
yeRr.
There will then be no alternative except an
appeal to the country. and II the new Diet
maintains a dissenticnt attitude. as may be con-
idently expected. the Ministry must resign. for
Its leading spirit, Count Okuina, is rreNoknOly
pledged to the system OF Parry Cabinets and
cannot, with any sem blarce Uf consistency. hold
office IN defiance OF n hostile majority in the
lower House, Thus the life OF the new Cabinet
may be reckoned at some eight months.
