RIOT IN JAPANESE HOUSE.
Financial Budget Is Carried Only
After an Exciting Scene.

Tokyo. Feb 13.-After an exciting de-
bate lasting six hours, which developed
into a riot on the floor Of the house Of
representatives, the financial budget was
passed by a majority Of 1g2. Speakers on
both sides occupied a long time, and.
toward the last, they howled at the
chair and charged favoritism, the oppos-
ing members demanding an apology.
The chair suspended the session for half
an hour, and upon resuming apologized
handsomely TO the opposition.
Impressive speeches were made during
the debate, all making point of the fea-
ture that more than One-half of the budget
was expended in armament 1t was also
urged that the financial measures Of the
governments did not contain provisions to
prevent an outflow of gold while the bal
ance of trade had a tendency against
Japan, fear being expressed that the basis
of the gold reserve might be endangered.
Upon the side Of the ministry the prin-
Cipal speakers elOQuently argued that it
was both UnWise and dangerous publicly
10 discuss the nations finances from
pessimistic standpoint, thereby creating
unnecessary alarm abroad. He called at
tention to the natural resources Of Japan.

Addresses Maryland Senate.

Addresses Maryland senate.
Special to The Washington Herald.
state House Annapolis. Nd. Feb. 13-
An incident that win long be remembered
by those present occurred in the senate
yesterday afternoon. A time had been set
aside for action on resolutions in memory
Of the late ex-Gov. Lloyd Lowndes, the
late Judge and ex-senator Louis f. Nc
Comas, and the late Chief Judge James
NIcSherry. Of the Court Of Appeals.
More than a week ago similar resoIu-
tions were offered in honor of the late
United States Senator a. =. German and
late ex-Gov z. z. jackson.
When the resolutions were called up
fitting addresses were made by Senators
Brown, Baker, of Washington: Matthias.
and Griffith CRepubIicans). Then Senator
German arose. He seemed filed with
emotion as he referred to the shortness OF
human life and the sorrows of parting
with dear ones. First he referred to Gov.
LOWndes as a man who had served his
State faithfully and conscienti0usly; as
q man of the highest character. and one
whom il was a pleasure to know. Next
lie referred TO the late Judge and former
United States Senator McComas. who. he
said. served his State with ability and
honor. In a time like this" said Senator
German. politics should be brushed
aside"
The tribute was appreciated by the Re
pubIcans, who remembered that McCo-
mas had succeeded the elder German in
the Senate. Next young German spoke
Of Judge James AfcSherry, and to the
dead jurist ne paid q most feeling and
eloquent tribute.
