The recent fight for the mum
icipal offices of Memphis verified
the old adage that politics makes
strange bed fellows. On each
side was lined up representative
of all classes. If each side was
as bad as the other said it was,
and as good as it claimed to be
it is hard to determine how the
crowd got so badly mixed.

The salary of the governor OF
the Bank of England, one of the
finest financial institutions OF the

the president of the Bank OF

the line from the head where the
officers begin to draw such little
pay.

ONLY A LOCAL DISTURBANCE.
Baron komura's View of the Riotine
at Toxic

New York, Sept. S.-Baron Komura,
chief Of the Japanese peace ENJOYS,
who is in this city, said he did not
consider the rioting in Toxic more
than local disturbance. When he
was shown the Associated Press dis
patches telling of the burning of the
official residence OF the minister of
home affairs and Of the threatening
demonstration which occurred before
his own official residence he said:
In the absence of fuller details
am not in a position to form any def
mite opinion as to the occurrences in
Toxic, but l believe that it was merely
a local disturbance growing out Of a
collision between the police and the
people"
Mr.. Sato, the official spokesman Of
the japanese peace party, gave it as
his belief that the disturbances arose
more out of irritation On the part Of
the people toward the minister of
home affairs because he closed the
Nibaya park to them than from anger
at the government on account of the
recent peace negotiations
Morris tribune., 1905-09-09

the home minister's residence said to
the correspondent of the Associated
Press:
I'VE burned the house for the pur-
pose of attracting the attention of the
emperor. We want him to refuse to
ratify the treaty. We believe that
those surrounding him prevent him
from correctly understanding the pop
ular attitude toward the disgraceful,
humiliating peace"
Another mob burned and destroyed
ten Christian churches and one mis-
sion house school. The occupants
were not injured.
An irritating feature Of the situa-
ton results from the continued failure
of the government to inform the pub
lie of the exact results Of the Ports
mouth conference. Not single fea-
ture of the negotiations has been COM
municated officially to the people. The
result has been much popular resent
ment, the people arguing that they
fought and paid for the war and are
entitled to know the results.

HUNDREDS INJURED IN RE-
l. CENT RIoTlNG.

Toxic, Sept. S-Serious rioting fol
lowed the attack On the Office of the
kokumin Shimbun, the government
organ. A mob attacked and burned
the official residence of the minister
Of home affairs, which stood between
the MOBILES club and the Imperial hotel
and faced Hibaya park, which was the
storm center throughout the day.
Threatening demonstrations occurred
In the neighborhood of the official
homes of Premier katsura and Baron
Komura, foreign minister, who is now
in the United States, but the police
succeeded in preventing injury to the
occupants or damage to the houses.
The situation is threatening. Tur-
bulent crowds fill the streets and it
is feared much damage to property is
possible under cover of the darkness.
All the police reserves are perform
ing urgent duty and heavily guarding
hanger spots. The streets in the
neighborhood of the Kokumin Shin
bun are closed and 200 police form
Gordon around the Office.
The destruction of the home minis
ter's residence was intensely dramatic.
Throughout the day a series Of dem
onstrations occurred in the neighbor-
hood Of the building and late IN the
afternoon the mob attacked the house,
swept the police away and battered
down the gates. The police and
servants resisted stoutly, but the mob
surged forward and entered the house.
The destruction of small police sub
stations continued until midnight. 1t
is impossible to ascertain the exact
number destroyed, but it is estimated
that fifteen were wrecked. Two OF the
larger police stations were also de-
stroyed. The mobs generally prevent
ed damage to adjoining private prop
erty by dragging the police kiosks
applying the torch.
Troops Are Called Out.
Detachments of national troops,
modified on account Of the war, were
called out during the night. The
crowds received the soldiers good ma
turedly and cheered them. The prin-
cipal duty of the troops was the pro-
lection of the police.
1t is impossible to secure accurate
figures of the casualties during the
rioting. The Jill estimates them at
two dead and at 500 wounded in all,
including those seriously and slightly
injured, among whom are 200 police
men. The wounds are mostly slight
sword thrusts and bruises made by
stones.
