OPPOSE THE TREATY.
Alleged Cause of All Trouble in
Japan

The alleged leader of the opposition to the
Russo-Japanese treaty Is said to be Count
Okuma, formerly premier of Japan, who Is
chief of what is known in Japanese politics
as the progressive party. The other princi-
pal party Is the constitutional. the nominal
leader of which Is the Marquis Saion1i. al
though the actual leader is the Ito. the man
who is held chiefly responsible for the
treaty of peace, as he Is the dean Of the
elder statesmen and is known to have the
greatest influence over the mikado and to
be, politically, an enemy of Baron komura,
Japan's chief peace plenipotentIary.
The other parties are comparatively In
significant One Of them represents the
commercial class and is conservative and
neutral. Another. a very small one. not
diet is called the national party, and the
fifth is only slightly stronger and is the
liberal party. The latter is by no means
aggressive
Next to Ito in influence with the mikado is
the Marquis Yamagata, also an elder
statesman. The other two elders are Counts
Matsugata and Inone. The present cabinet
(katsma) Is ba cked by Yamagata. 1t sue
ceeded Itos cabinet three years ago. kats-
mas cabinet made the Anglo-Japanese alli-
ance and declared and waged the war.
In the next session of parliament 1t Is
expected that the neutral party CONNER
ciaD will join the progresstves in attack
ing the treaty and trying to accomplish the
downfall of the Katsma cabinet. In case
OF that happening the Marquis Saionji,
who has fewer enemies than Ito, is likely to
succeed him as premier. Okuma, 1t Is un-
derstood, would not accept the office.

DIFFERENCES STILL UNSETTLED.
Site for Harrison Monument at In
dianapolis Not Yet Determined.

d1anapol1S Not Yet Determined.
, j. Knox Taylor, supervising architect Of
the Treasury Department, has returned
from indianapolis without being able to
settle the serious differences over the To-
cation of the proposed monument to tho
late President Harrison. This monument
is being erected by the Harrison Monu-
ment Association. Some time ago Secre-
tary Shaw consented to the monument
being located on the grounds of the Fed
eral building in Indianapolis, provided
there was suitable agreement by Woe
President Fairbanks. Senator Beveridge
and Representative Overstreet as to the
design and location. There was no such
agreement. Vice President Fairbanks be-
ing responsible for the selection of a de-
sign by Charles II. Niehaus of New York
suited.
AS to the location of the monument, II
was decided to place 1t in front of the
new Federal building. but at this point
Rankin & Kellogg Of Philadelphia, the
architects for the new building In Indian
apoiis, stepped in and interposed serious
objection to the monuments location
unles the design was changed to some
extent. 1t is claimed by the architects
that the base of the Harrison monument
was such an elaborate and large affair
that 1t would detract from the architec-
tural appearance of the Federal building
Mr.. Taylor holds the same view, but
went to indianapolis a few days ago to
see II some agreement could not be reach
ed Nothing definite was settled upon,
and 1t Is regarded as probable that Mr..
iaylor VIII recommend that permission
be withheld for the erection of the statue
on the Federal building site
