a hope of avoiding the responsibility OF
an anticipated failure or an unfavorable
treaty of peace. Marquis Ito would have
accepted the Mikados appointment, but
his faithful followers earnestly appealed
to him not to commit this blunder. SO
Premier Katsura at last decided to send
Baron Komura.
'1f not for the Mikado's order, it is
certain that Baron Komura would have
carried on his own plan, which does not
necessarily mean a rupture OF the nego-
tiations but he was sandwiched be-
tween his own Cabinet and the board of
elder statesmen, and had toyield to the
latter against his own and the whole ma
TONS will.
"Wbile the terms of peace are entirely
unsatisfactory to Japan, we must sub
nit to the Mikado's order with honor
and a spirit of chivalary toward our
former enemy, and we must indorse
Baron Komura's brave conduct in yield
ing to the instructions from Toxic.
1T may yet be premature TO predict
resignation of the conservative Cabinet,
but there is no doubt that tie whole ma
ton is angry over the terms of peace,
which seem to be unreasonably moder-
ate and dishonorable in Japan's eyes, as
they do even to outsiders. There must
be some demonstration in the Japanese
Parliament, and l am afraid that they
will oppose in any form bills presented
for new appropriations and may demand
decrease of the nations burdens by
cutting taxes and suspendipg public
works.
"The progressive party, under Count
Okums, will have, Of course, to play
most of his disturbing role in the next
session OF Parliament. The neuIrals
will also condemn the treaty, for they,
being commercial element, we're earn
estly insisting upon an indemnity"

Stabbed I'm the Back.

B. J. Megeinson, superintendent of
the Newport News and Old Point Rail.
way Company, was stabbed in the back
by G. w. Burkhead, of North Carolina,
at Hampton yesterday. Burkhead's
bicyle was damaged by a car Of the New
port News and Old Point line Tuesday
night, and yesterday, when the line su-
perintendent went to the shop where
the wheel was being repaired, Burkhead
attacked him with knife, but bystand-
ers prevented his injuriDg the superin-
tendent. Later the infuriated man stole
up behind Mr.. MegginsOn and stabbed
him under his lett shoulderblade, but
the wound will not prove fatal. Burk-
head was arrestei.

THE EFFNCT IN JAPAN.

X. Naksmura, japanese journalist,
was asked at New Castle, n. H., yes
terday to discuss the situation which con-
fronts the political leaders of Japan, in
view of the impending ratification of a
treaty of peace with Russia in which
Japan has made concessions which are
disapproved by such large number OF
the Mikado's subjects.
"Tbe sit1atiou, said Mr.. Naka-
murs, "is very interesting and threatens
a crisis in Japan. The present Katsura
Cabinet was formed in 1902, after the
downfall of the Ito Cabinet, backed by
the Marquis Yamagata, and, therefore,
it can be said that tie real power is the
Marquis Ito, whose followers--COunt Kat
sura, Barous Some, Kiyoura and Teran-
cht-are the members of the Cabinet,
Baron Komura being, perhaps, the only
nonpoliticiau member of the Cabinet.
The Cabinet which made the successful
Anglo-Japanese alliance and the Russo
Japanese war is the Katsura Cabinet,
which is considered to be the most sue
cessful Cabinet since the PRONUNCIATION
of the constitution by the Mikado
"Now, when there came question Of
selecting peace ENJOYS to negotiate a
treaty of peace with Russian ENJOYS in
this country the Premier Kstsura, a man
of genius and cleverness, advised the
Emperor to appoint Marquis Ito, who
has the confidence of the Mikado, with
