AFFAIRS in JAPAN
Prince Taro Katsura Ordered
BY MilSado to Form Another
Cabinet.

Toxic. Dec. 1.-THE emperor of
Japan has decided to issue tomorrow
a special rescript ordering Prince Taro
Katsura to form a cabinet owing to
the fac that the elder statesmen after
a number of conferences have failed
to recommend any one as premier to.
take the place of the Marquis Saionji.
n selection of the other members
of the cabinet by Prince Katsura may
ause some delays. but it is thought
that the new cabinet will be completed
by Friday. 1t is understood that Ia
kaaki Kato, ambassador to Great
Britain, will become foreign minister
and Baron Shimpei Goto. former min
lister of communications, will receive
the portfolio of the minister of the in
terror. No indication has yet been
given as to who will succeed Lieuten-
ant General Uyehera as minister Of
war. It was his resignation on ac-
count of the refusal of the other min
listers to support his demand for an
increase of the Japanese army that
brought about the cabinet crisis.

ARCHIBALD DEFENSE
TO ASK ACQU|TTAL
Attorneys Will Seek to Prove
His Acts Were Inspired By
Friendship.

Washington, Dec. 17.-With all the
testimony against him before the Sen
ate, Judge Robert w. Archibald, of the
court. through his attorneys
today began the task of showing by
testimony that he should be acquitted
of the misbehavior and misdemeanors
charged against him in the impeach-
ment trial. Scores of witnesses were
ready to take the stand in his be-
half when the Senate convened as a
court of impeachment.
Many of the facts brought out by
the House managers as prosecutors in
the trial will be admitted by the de-
Tense. Many great contests will be
over the motives which prompted the
judge in those acts. A number of
witnesses will be called to show that
Judge Archibald acted purely from
friendship in interesting himself in the
litigation and commercial adventures
of his n~eighbors at Scranton, Pa.
A still larger number of witnesses,
prominent in the religious, political and
business life of Pennsylvania, will be
called some time during the week to
testify to the judges good reputation.
Although the lawyers on both sides
We're disposed to speed the case, none
expected to finish the trial before adj
journment fer the holidays.

son aboard, locked here early this

Not an announcement as to politics
or anything else did the governor have
to make OH his arrival.
I'm going to devote myself to New
Jersey AFFAIRS he said. After a few
hours in New York he planned to go
direct to his home in Princeton, SOFAS
to be on hand at the state house in
Trenton early tomorrow for the regu-
lar budget of state.
The president-elect had with him his
annual message to the New Jersey leg
islature which meets on January Ia. 1t
embodied every plank in the democratic
state platform. New Jersey is just
now paramount in the governors mind
and it is quite likely thai until he is
able to complete his program of pro-
gressive legislation he will not only
continue in office as governor, but will
not AXE up many of the preliminary
tasks of office filing with respect to
his presidential administration.
AS to appointments, Governor Wilson
admits that while selections have been
running through his EAT he a not
decided on any post of Importance and
has not even chosen a private secre-
tary.
