Baron komura's View Of the Riotinu
at Toxic.


New York, Sept. 8.-Baron Komura,
chief OF the Japanese peace ENJOYS,
who Is In this city, said he did not
consider the rioting in Toxic more
than a 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:

am not In position to form any def
mite opinion as to the occurrences In
Toxic but believe that 1t 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.

the signature of the treaty of Ports

opinion ON the reported efforts OF
Baron Komura to communicate with
Secretary Root. Ii the conditions were
