VIOLENT SPLIT IN
JAPANESE CABINET
Hayashi Steps Out Because Of
Military Factions Attitude
Toward Manchuria.

Victoria, B. G., Sept. ls.-The steam
er Empress of India which arrived yes
terday from the orient, brought news
of serious differences in the Japanese
cabinet regarding Japan s action. in
Manchuria. Viscount sHayashi, for
merly minister to Great Britain, re-
signed the post of foreign minister in
Premier Sainoji's cabinet because of
action taken regarding the South Man
churian railway system which Japan
took over as a government concern.
Japanese vernacular papers pointed out
that the, quarrel is really a fight be-
tween diplomacy, headed by Viscount
Hayashi, and militarism, headed by
Marquis Yamagata. The military sec
ton opposes the opening of Manchuria,
and moreover wishes to 2control the
Manchurian railway as a strategical
line, while the diplomatic section has
declared for the opening Of Manchuria
and seeks to subordinate militarism,
while fighting for the commercial de-
velepoment by Japan of south Manchu.
ria. The military section which sought
to appoint the late Field Marshal Ko,
DANA in charge Of the Manchurian rail
way. system seeks to appoint military
adviser who would in effect control
the line. It was in protest to this ar
rangement that Yiscount Hayashi re.
signed.

POLICE MAY RUN
THE CHICAGO CARS
Exciting Events Expected if
Mayor Dunno Bows to
Advisers.
Journal Special Service.

Chicago, Sept. 18.-The two big trac-
ton companies have told the city what
they would charge for their properties
545,e7s. This is exclusive of any
prices on the Consolidated Traction
company, the Calumet electric, the Chi
cago General and other minor compa-
MES.
Mayor Dunno at once declared the
sum excessive and not to be considered.
He stuck to his original proposition
that the city must acquire the proper
ties, but declared it would pay no such
price. What plan he had in view, how
ever, he refused to say. He previously
the granting Of rights in the streets to
a rival company. This last idea he is
understood still to favor.
City companies insist that their prices
are right. They say they are willing
to 90 to courts, if necessary, to prove
them fair. Besides, they make the
point that if their figures on tangible
values are cut then those on intangible
must beHincreased. They are showing a
disposition to stand by their guns. 8
A clash between Mayor Dunno and
his advisers and the traction interests
is expected before many months have
passed. It may not take that long. IF
it comes the traction situation in Chi
cago will become decidedly interesting.
Were the mayor to adopt the drastic
methods of bringing the companies to
times that he and his advisers have
been advocating it would mean police
intervention in the running Of street
cars in Chicago, a refuge Of the com
panies in the courts with the accom-
panying injnction writs and mix-ur

ALDERMANIC CONTESTS
Hot Fights in Several Wards, Notably
the Third and Fourth.

Several wards are the centers of hot
local fights today. In, the third and
fourth hot aldermanic fights are on.
There is contest in the seventh ward,
and one or two others. The democrats
have contest over alderman in the
third word, but are passing it up to
participate in other contests On the re-
publican ticket. There is also demo-
cratic contest in the sixth ward and
Lars Rand is putting up fine imita-
ton of busy politician. In his own
precinct the vote at noon stood ever be-
tween the democrats and republicans, a
condition of affairs entirely new.
In the third ward: the fight for the
republican aldermanic nomination be-
tween DR., w. F. Nye,, the present al
dermanic nomination between DR.. w.
y George V. B: Hill is close and interest
ing. There is a heavy republican vote
in the third from the ranks of the
:, democrats and it is impossible to say
which of the two candidates is receiv-
ing the benefit Of it.
In the fourth ward the friends of
9: D. Gould claim to have A. E. Mer-
rill, the present alderman and president
Of the council, beaten. There is little
doubt that this is true in the lower
precincts where there is a heavy cross
vote, most of which is being swung to
Gould. The seventh ward aldermanic
fight is not as close or interesting, but
