MIKADO DECLINES
To Accept Resignation Of Minister Of
the Interior.

Toxic. Sept. 1.-THE mikado has
declined to accept the proffered res
ignation of Minister of the Interior
Yoshikawa. A great part of the pub
lie indignation which eliminated in
the riots of last week was due to tho
fact that Hibiya Park was closed 10
the people who wished to hold mass
meetings there. Minister Yashikawa
was held responsible in great meas
ure for this closing of the park.
Minister Yoshikawa offered his res
ignation on account Of the outory
against him. While 1t has been de-
clined at present 1t Is believed that

Statement from Fred Beckman.

Mr. Editor: Kindly bear with me
while ! attempt to correct a few state
ments made ia Mr. Booths letter in
your yesterdays issue in reference to
my brother. / have been citizen Of
this city for twelve years and now is
the first time / have asked to have
my name appear in print.
Mr. Booth says that lie had no re-
volyer upon the night he arrester AL
fred. We can show beyond any doubt
that he had revolver and that he
dragged my brother part of the way
from the hotel to the police station,
and in the presence Of other officers,
locked him in the jail. Now if it is
not true, why was it necessary for Mr..
Booth to follow my brother for days
after they learned we had employed an
attorney for the purpose OF redress?
The next day after the night in ques-
tien, / went with Alfred to our attor-
ney and the serving of the papers was
a result of our visit, but not as quickly
as we desired When the papers were
served, Mr.. Booth Immediately got Al
fred and went to the States Attorneys
office in company with another officer;
there, am informed, they asked him
to sign certain papers which Mr.. Booth
has in his possession, and they show
upon their face that he paid Alfred
certain sum in settlement
1T was friendly talk. that Mr..
Booth gave him, / can assure you. He
did not repeat the Lords Prayer" to
Alfred, although many words which the
prayer contains were hurled at him, but
not in the spirit that it was originally
given. "Leniencyv is Booths iustifica-
tion, this is true of some people who
fall under the eyes Of the police officers,
but others get the contrary Some are
borne in fowery beds of ease" seven
miles away in order to escape the legal
consequences of their acts and others are
dragged through the streets and thrown
into the filthy tombs beneath our city
hall. This may be leniency or justice
in China or Cork, but in the enter
prising little city of Barre. we believe
it is not; and that each and all should
stand equal, and consequently should
likewise be dealt with. Lincoln said.
"All men are born free and equal.

4 NEW RAILROAD DEPOT NEEDED.

A NEW RAILROAD DEPOT NEEDED.
Barre has so long submitted to a
general disregard on the part of the
Central Vermont Railway Co, Of her
needs in the way Of railroad accomo-
dations that she has almost reached the
point where she thinks it useless to
make any effort to secure better And
it is not much to be wondered at. But
The Times wants to call attention to
one improvement that ought to be made
on the Central in Barre, and by call
ing attention to it now, it can be
done this season, il the road has any
desire at all to care for the comfort
and health Of the travelling public upon
which it depends for portion Of its
income.
There may be somewhere on the line
a passenger station more disreputable
than that in Barre, but The Times does
not know where, and it has not been
able to find anyone who does. The
station isn't slightly, it isn't conven-
lent, it hasn't proper facilities for hand
ling the local traffic and 1t isn't sani-
tary. Further it is gloomy, musty
place, with dirty, blackened walls in
the interior. It isn't properly heated,
and has no ventilation. 1t should have
been replaced BY a better structure long
ago, and would have on any railroad
making any pretence at looking 10 the
welfare Of its patrons. The railroad
commission has said in its published re-
ports that q new station is needed
here, and it is TO be hoped that the
management Of the road will see its
way to erect one this season.
To bring about such a desired result
petitions are being circulated among the
citizens Of Barre asking for new sta
tion and they are being generally signed.
If one is not presented To yon and
you desire to add your name to the
petition one can be found at The Times
office.

whereby the accounting will all be
done in the Burlington office instead of

The northern division includes all of
Vermont except Remington, Bellows
Falls, Brattleboro and few adjacent
towns, in addition to Claremont, New
port, Lebanon, the Sunapee lake dis.
triet and the White mountains, north,
in New Hampshire. Under the present
system number of exchanges are
grouped together into district and the
work Of accounting is divided in that
way. The new system win be commenc-
ed IN the Burlington office in The course
Of two weeks and if it should be put
in full operation about a dozen book
