The death Of Katsura is apparently
to throw Japan into another political
chaos. As premier he headed the

become very unpopular with the
masses. The agitators against the
ruling party made capital out of the
California anti-land law with which to
assail Katsura and their misrepresen.

garded as Katsura's probable success
sor.
Count Toro Katsura was born In
1S47. He was premier from 1901 Ia
1906 and again became premier in
1908.
He resigned a second time. When a
cabinet crisis arose early In 1913 sew
era1 statesmen declined to take the
post and Katsura was again chosen te
form a ministry. From the outset his
administration was stormy one. He
was sick for several months.
