MARQUIS ITO THE COMING
MAN IN JAPANESE AFFAIRS.
His Elevation to Presidency of Privy
Council Opens His Way to the
Office of Premier.

Toxic, July 10. via San Francisco. July
S0.-Although Marquis Ito has been made
President of the Privy Council. formerly pre-
sided over by Marquis Sanao. the latter
loses no rank by the change.
Count Matsukata and Marquis Yamagata
have been appointed members of the Privy
Council.
The main point about the elevation OF
Marquis Ito Is that it clears his way to the
premiership.
incidentally it composes the Cabinet diff
iculty. and allows an unbroken trOut to be
presented to foreign nations. but there is a
strong belief that 1t also her2lds the calling
of the Marquis to control the difficult for
eign situation at any time needed.
Il Is believed that Marquis Ito, who has
the full confidence of the Emperor, is in
favor of conservative measures toward
Russia, and that he will exhaust all diplo-
matte means of obtaining a quid pro quo
in Manchuria before resorting to hostilities.
He is regarded as a safe man" In crisis.

After he had resained his senses, August
says, he was compelled to walk several
yards across the burning roof in his bare
feet to an opening in the roof. where he
found means of descending TO thc street.
Mrs. Schultz says that her son has always
been very nervous and that his experience
has affected him so that he can hardly
sleep at night. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Schultz,
as well as the entire neighbohood, are much
wrought UP over the affair, and the boys
parents state they will prosecute. if an ar
rest is made.
Mr.. Schultz is well known in South st
