CRISIS IN JAPAN.
The Entire Cabinet Came Near Re-
signing Their Portfolio.

Toxic, Jan. 1.-THE resignation of
the entire cabinet was narrowly avert
ed today.
The premier, Marquis Saionji, ten
dered his resignation to the emperor
this afternoon at o'clock, but his
majesty declined to receive it, while
the alternative designations of Yoshiro
Sakatani, minister Of finance, and of
Isaburo Yamagata. minister of COM
munications, were accepted.
Mazashisa Matsuda, minister of Jus
tice. will combine the portfolio Of
finance, and Keihara, minister of the
interior, will combine that of the min
lister OF communication. This leaves
and removes the disputants who have
been the disturbing factors for some
time past. The information about the
resignation of Isaburo Yamagata as
minister of communication announced
on January II was evidently correct,
and the official denial made on the fol-
lowing day was probably intended to
tide over the period, during which
there was possibility of an adjust
ment.
The cabinet council this morning
gave rise to some heated debates.
Yamagata insisted upon the resigna-
| ton of Sakatani, who is responsible
for the budget which will be intro
duced in the diet this month. and who
is blamed by the cabinet ministers and
the public because in 1907 he prom
ised that there would be no increase
made in the taxation nor would there
be any resort to foreign loan in 1908.
An investigation of the financial
situation, however, convinced the cab
met officers and the elder statesmen
that an increase in the taxation or in
lieu thereof foreign loan would be
unavoidable. Sakatani endeavored to
reduce the appropriation of the army
and navy to which these factions OBJ
jected and finally succeeded in carry
ing their point. Sakatani thereupon
attempted to reduce the appropria-
| tons for railways and to this Yama-
| gaia raised an objection. Sakatani
| then increased the general taxation,
| but this found strenuous objections
among the leading merchants and
! bankers. Sakatani finally decided to
resign and also insisted that his
resignation should be accepted. Mar
quis Saionji. who was responsible as
! the head Of the cabinet, then decided
to tender his resignation and the other
members Of the cabinet, who agreed
programme. The Marquis Saionji s
resignation would first be offered If
the emperor declined to accept it, then
the resignation of Sakatani and Yama-
gaia would be offered. Matsuda and
folios. In pursuance of this agree
ment, Premier Saionji and Prince Ito
waited on the emperor this afternoon.
The emperor refused to accept the
resignation Of Saionji, but accepted
the designations of Sakatani and
| Yamagata.
The whole matter is now believed
to be settled. There probably will be
some changes of items in the budget
and possibly the government may de-
eide not to increase taxation, but in
stead reduce the appropriations for the
army and navy 1t is also possible that
1t may be decided to issAe a loan to
cover the deficiency.

WORK IS SHODDY
Repairs Of Paving Excavations
Are Botched.
Plumbers Have Cheap Way Of
Fixing Pavements.
o. X. OF INSPECTOR.
Apparently City Official Failed
to Inspect.
Engineer Calls Attention of
Mayor to Conditions.

Complaints were made to Mayor
Green, this morning. by John Rogers.
city engineer, that repairs of pave
ments which had been reported back
as being properly fixed by John Shea
han, plumbing inspector, were any
thing but so. Eight different locations
were cited where an Investigation
showed that brick had been put back
in some instances without any cushion
of sand and just on the dirt or with a
very light layer of sand.
The city engineer stated that the
repair work might have been made
while the plumbing inspector was not
present and for that reason Sheahan
probably reported the repairs as eff
dciently made.
This matter of paving repairs where
excavations have been made is a hard
problem, said the mayor. Something
Will have to certainly be DONE"

to guard against improper repairs of
the pavements after they had been dug
up by plumbers or the gas company

to carefully see that all repairs should

ILLS IIioTIiiHS, MI rogers says. Il beg
leave to ask for advice in the matter of
securing efficient work in the repairs
after excavation on paved streets In
the work which the street commission
er was compelled to take up on Eighth
avenue east found that the brick had
been placed back in the trench on q
mud foundation with no sand under the
pavement or between layers of brick
This led me to investigate some recent
repair work with the following results
Eight different places were then cited
in which faulty repair work had been
done, the work having been done by
Mood Plumbing company and w. F.
Sheahan.
These are all the places I have had
time to examine but have no doubt but
that further investigation will reveal
the same state of affairs in other places.
If the work is allowed to continue it
will only be matter of short time
until our pavements will be in a de-
plorable state. I am at some loss how
to proceed in the matter for If the work
has been done under the direction of
the inspector 1t is probable that the
contractors who have sent their men
out to do the work under the inspector
are of the opinion that the work has
been done in an entirely satisfactory
manner but If they have done the work
in the absence of such inspector Iwould
feel justified in ordering them to re-
place it at once in a proper manner
and withhold further permits until such
work was done. Section 6, ordinance
1865, specifies how such work shall be
done but until can ascertain how
such work was Inspected do not know
how to proceed and beg leave to ask

PREDICTS LARGE INFLUX.
Mr.. ConnelI Sees Great Future for
Oklahoma.

Oklahoma City, Jan. IA. M.
Cornell, general passenger agent for
the Santa Fe, with headquarters in
Topeka Kan, was a visitor in Okla
homa City last evening on his semi
annual visit over the line.
Passenger traffic has considerably
improved since the middle Of Decem-
ber," said Mr.. Council, land indica-
lions are that with the opening of
spring, conditions will continue to i'm
prove Undoubtedly the financial sit
uation caused a curtailment Of travel,
but homeseekers, it is believed, will
begin focking to Oklahoma and the
southwest during the next few months.
.I do not think that the two-cent
rate caused any increase, but the fact
that it arrived about the time that
the panic was at its height makes
1t difficult to estimate just what eff
feet it might have directly upon pas
senger traffic.
"The separate coach and waiting
room requirements of the Jim crow
law are not questions to be solved in
my department, but the Santa Fe will
comply with every case. I rather
expect that instead of separate
coaches however, the company will
use partition cars, of which it has a
large equipment"
Among the travelling passenger
agents in Oklahoma City yesterday
were r. ]. Kennedy, Of the Santa Fe,
at Topeka; E. E. Bleckley of the Mis-
souri, Pacific, Kansas City; A. G. Bur
rows, Of the Lake Shore, Kansas City.

ESTATE In HIS MIND.
Man WiIled Away 100000 Which
He Did Not Have.

New York, Jan. 14.-Conf1dent that
his inventions and investments would
net millions to his estate. Walter l.
Griffin, ex-United States consul TO
Limoges, France, who died in Brook-
Ign yesterday, left a will dated three
days before his death in which he
made requests of over 100000 to
relatives and friends and large gifts
to charitable and philanthropic enter
prises. Mr.. Griffin's chief interests
were in a concern known as the Peat
Chemical company, which friends of
his explain had been organized with 4
view to exploiting an invention for
utilizing peat instead of coal as steam
producing fuel, a large plant having,
they state. been built at Ogdensburg,
n. Y, for this purpose with another
plant in Mexico under construction.
According to DR.. James A. Blake of
Brooklyn, to whom the will entrusts
the philanthropic requests, Mr.. Crit
fms fortune consists solely of mis-
stock in this enterprise. which is in
corporated under New York laws with
a capital of $20,0O0,000.
Until something more tangible
than this is disclosed, shall not both
er myself about carrying out the terms
of the bequest," he said. Attorneys
for the estate say its value is prob
lematical. Contingent upon it's devel-
opment or retrogression it may, they
say, be worth all the way from $4,000
to 100000.

dent of the Missouri Pacific lines, who
was in Little Rock today on tour of
inspection. Movement of freight is
on the decrease at present." he con-
tinued, land to meet this decrease it
is necessary for US to cut down ex-
penses by reducing forces and cutting
the working hours of the men. This
condition of affairs will remedy itself
in short time firmly believe. There
is limit. of course. to the retrench-
ment we may make. The organiZa
ton of the working forces can not be
jeopardized, and the road must be in
readiness for the resumption of
heavy traffic"
The financial situation has reached
it's limit of depression, according to
the opinion of Mr.. Clarke. THE pres
ent industrial depression" he says, 'is
the logical outcome of the financial de-
preston, and must in its turn give
way to industrial prosperity. There is
no real reason for the situation of the
past few months. Crops have been
good, work has been easy to secure,
and labor has been well paid. The
panic was nothing more or less than g.
stop on the part of the country to take
inventory and count up profit and
loss. For the past few years we have
had an unprecedented period Of pros
perity, and now that we have paused
to consider and reflect, it is likely to

ATTACKS PULLMAN RATES.
La Toilette Says a Car Pays For It.

Washington, Jan. 14.-George S..
Lotus Of St. Paul accompanied by
Senator La Toilette has filed with the
interstate commerce commission a
petition asking for a reduction of 25
per cent in the lower berth rates of
the Pullman company and the fixing
of the rates for upper berths at one
half that of the lower berth rate. The
reduction is asked on all interstate
business throughout the United
States. Mr.. LOTUS represents the
Minnesota Shippers association. which
started the private car investigation
two years ago and he has had the ad-
vice and the support of Senator La
Toilette.
Some months ago a complaint was
made against the Pullman company
in regard to rates from northwestern
points. A hearing was had at St
Paul, at which representatives of the
company refused to produce Its
books or to answer questions. This
resulted in postponement of the
hearing. In the meantime the ship
pers association broadened its inquiry
with the result that this petition was
filed. The petition ayers that the
Pullman company has invested $685.
