JAPAN'S CABINET ESCAPES
DEFEAT BY ONLY 9 VOTES
Saionji Government Upheld in Lover
House of the Diet

Heuse Of the Diet.
Toxic, Jan. PA motion to censure
the government was defeated in the
lower house Of the Diet yesterday BY
III votes to 1853. The debate on the
motion lasted for three hours and a
half.
The debate turned entirely on the
budget, no mention being made OF the
emigration question or the government
policy thereon. The failure of the cab
iHet's foes now insures the ministry
remaining in power and the probable
passage Of the budget.
The opposition speakers in the debate
blamed the government for lack of fore
sight, while the constitutionalists held
that the government was unable to pre-.
diet any extraordinary conditions.
The motion Of eensure referred to in
the dispatch from Toxic was prepared
and presented BIZ the Progressive and
Nitko parties, It declares lack of con
fdence in the cabinet, based on the al
legged faulty financial measures.
When it became known that the mo-
ton was to be debated yesterday the
Constitutionalists began efforts to hasten
the arrival at Toxic of many of their
adherents who had been delayed Ii
was hardly expected that the motion
would be carried.

PLAINF1ELD, March 11.-By the

$50 pupils of the High School heard the
fire alarm for the fire drill yesterday
with indifference, and it was not until

Bire drills have been held the past
week in several of the schools at the
instance of teachers. but this alarm
was turned in by al outsider, who
visited the school to see a teacher, and
in a spirit of fun pushed the button.
The teachers were more alarmed than
the pupils, for they thought for az mo-
ment that there might really be a fire.
The Indifference of the pupils to the
alarm caused the teachers a nervous
start, from which they did not recover
until the pupils marched out. 1t vas
a false alarm, but the pupils are ex-
pected in future to obey the alarm
every time it is rung.

noon made dsring attempt to hold up
and rob tbrse bank messengers carrying
$40, 900 in cash from one of the bank &
