JAPAN INDIGNANT.
Belligerent Spirit of People Aroused
to Highest Pitch.

Yokohama, March p, via Victoria, b.
c., April Japan is passing through a
peculiar political experience. The house
Of peers Stubbornly refused to pass the
taxation bill at a time Of an acknowl-
edged crisis in internal as well as foreign
affairs. The power OF the emperor was
invoked with the result that the peers
then receded from their position and
passed the bill by a unanimous vote
without amendment or change Instead
Of being distinctively a government
measure applied for by the cabinet and
endorsed by their signatures it took the
form of private administration by the
emperor who summoned the president Of
the house Of peers and handed to him a
document embodyfng the imperial VIII
as expressed by himself alone.
The instant obedience Of the house IL
illustrates in q striking way the fact that
the ancient Observances for the throne
is by no means impaired
BY the great majority the emperor s
action IS taken as a most healthy sign
and there is a feeling Of general relief
in the consciousness that there exists in
the empire a power Of last resort which
can be invoked with confidence in the
times of great public crisis. 1t may safe
" be said that the emperor never stood
so high in public esteem as he does now
The submission of the people, however.
by no means is made without some show
Of resentment and it is generally felt
tally when the question of the final pas
sage Of the budget comes up for discus
sion.
Party feeling is also becoming ram
pant in the lower house. the opposition
having proposed the Impeachment of the
government for having invoked the inn
perial power A scene of the widest
confusion occurred during the discussion
upon this motion, the premier himself
appearing upon the rostruln with the
declaration that as long as he had the
no power to remove him. The motion
for impeachment was rejected by a ma
jority of IS.
The crisis in the foreign affairs Of the
empire has in the meantime become far
more acute, the proceedings of Rus ia
in Manchuria and Corea combined with
the raordinaTy Interpretation put by
Count Won Buelow upon the Anglo
German compact, arousing the bellig-
erent spirit of the people to the highest
pitch It viii require all the tact and
avoid the precipitation of a war with
Russia
Indignation was the strongest at the
announcement of the German chancellor
that the terms of the Anglo German
compact has no reference to RIaBchuria-
Japan signed the agreement putting the
natural Interpretation on its words and
with disgust the empire now regards
this exhibition Of Machiavelian diplcm-
acy on the part of the western powers.
Taken in connection with the atrocities
committed by the latter in China, the
entrance of this country into the Gem
ity'' Of the Christian nations Is by no
means any longer regarded as either
distinction or privilege.
