Toxic, Sept 7.-Rioting broke out
here Tuesday night in connection with
the dissatisfaction over the peace set
tlement There were several clashes
with the police and it is estimated that
two were killed and 500 wounded. The
rioting ceased at midnight. Police
stations were the only property de-
stroyed
Under a vigorous defense by con-
sentative journals supporting the gov
eminent and fuller and better appre-
citation of the situation confronting the
country, public sentiment is showing
some evidence of reaction. The argu-
ment that it is impossible for Japan to
continue the bloody war merely for
the purpose of securing indemnity is
proving effective in allaying the dissat-
isfaction. 1t is believed that when
the government is free to explain fully
the conditions Of the settlement and
the logic appertaining the reaction of
sentiment will Largely increase.
The entire nation is keenly disap-
pointed at the outcome. Nowhere
throughout the empire has there been
a step taken toward the celebration of
the conclusion of peace. The radicals
continue their campaign against the
government, demanding the punish
ment Of those responsible for the com
promise. The forthcoming diet is GER
tain to be turbulent and it is predicted
that the Katsura government will be
forced from office.
Demonstration Prohibited.
A great anti-peace demonstration
was to be held in Toxic, but it was
prohibited by the authorities. Thou
sands gathered, however, in Hfbiya
park when they were forced off the
streets. There fireworks were dis
charged and much disorder was shown.
Finally mob rushed away and at
tackled the office of the Kokumin Shin
bun, the only newspaper in the city
which has defended the ministerial
cause since the terms Of peace were
announced. The building was stoned

being broken. The police charged the
rioters with drawn swords and some
casualties resulted.
Subsequently a disorderly throng
proceeded to the residence of the home
minister, Viscount Yoshikawa, but
committed no damage.
The Chuo Shimbun considers the
peace terms unsatisfactory and not
commensurate with the magnitude of
the victories won by Japan. Though
Russia was worsted in battle it fears
that Japan's late foe will be thought
victorious in diplomacy. Every one
of Japans twelve demands, separately
or jointly, it asserts, constituted hui
initiating bow to Russia's prestige and
dignity 1t doubts the wisdom of
those who desired to continue the war
for several years more on borrowed
money in order to force Russia to ac-
cept all Japan's demands. it would !
rather advise the country to devote it's |
energies to upbuilding the wealth of
the empire.
The Nichi Nichi calls the settlement |
brought about by great concessions on
the part of Japan, an astounding and |
most unexpected outcome of the peace
negotiations
The Jill Shimpo guardedly remarks
that the agreement was the result of |
concessions on both sides, those made |
by Japan being extraordinarily large.
It predicts that the general outcome
will be unsatisfactory to the nation.
The municipality protested against
the action of the police and finally the
gates were thrown open and a large :,
crowd gathered and voted in favor of
resolutions declaring the nation hui
and denouncing the terms
upon which the treaty of peace was ar
ranged.
The crowd was serious in it's con-
