STRONG INFLUENCES SUCCEED
IN CHECKING THE RIOT
ING AT TOXIC.
MILITARY AUTHORITIES IN CONTROL
PoPULAcE WARNED THAT ORDER
WILL BE MAINTAINED
AT ANY COST.

Toxic, Sept. 9.-Strong influences
are working toward calming popular
excitement and checking the rioting.
The opinion is expressed that the
worst violence has passed and that
conditions will speedily mend
General SakumO, who assumed
charge Of the capital during the day
under the, authority of the emergency
ordinance, has in his proclamation Gre
ated good impression owing to the
conciliatory tone in which it is ex-
pressed and it's note Of frmness in
declaring that the soldiery will resort
to extreme measures if forced to do
so. He has refrained from making
heavy display of military force in the
city, having only detailed guards to
preserve order, holding the main gar
rison of reserves at the barracks, from
whence he will only call them when
forced to.
The municipality has also greatly
relieved the situation by cancelling a
mass meeting called at Hibaya park,
which is the rallying ground for all
elements of disorder. Political lead
ers are counselling the people to re-
main quiet and are comforting with
the government, urging the speedy
calling of special session Of the diet.
Many believe that the issuance of the
summons for the special session Of
the diet will fully restore tranquility
among the public.
The number of persons known to
have been killed thus far is Six.

Toxic Editors Demand That Treaty Be
Rejected.

Toxic, Sept. 9.-With the exception
of the Kokumin, the government Or
gan, the newspapers generally ex-
press anger over the action Of the
police in closing Hibaya park and in
attempting to suppress meetings. They
say the actions of the police were
unwarranted and foolish and served
to excite the crowds. The Jiji says:
"Such deplorable phenomena in a
city. where the emperor lives is sig
nificant that the only course open to
the cabinet is resignation"
The Hochi deplores such occur
rences in the capital of a victorious
country and says Toxic has been con-
verted into St. Petersburg. It fur.
ther urges refusal to ratify the
treaty Of peace which, it says, is the
sole cause for the shameful and sad
occurrences

word mob" and openly sympathize
with the destruction of the police sta
