CENSURES GOVERNING
Members of the Constitutional
Party Attack Liberals--Gen-
eral Election Expected.

Toxic Feb. Most exciting scenes
we're witnessed during the dispersal Of
the japanese Diet to-day, after a vote OF
censnre on the government under the
premiership Of Prince Taro katsura had
been carried. The exits from the cham
be-! were thronged with people who
cheered the members OF the Constitutional
party when they assaulted Saburo shi-
mazda and other so-called renegades Of
the National Liberal party. They were
thrown out OF their rikishss when they
attempted to drive away. and efforts were
made to duck them in the canal, but these
we're frustrated by the police.
Relieving the vote OF censure the SEES
slons Of the chamber were suspended for
a period Of five days II is expected that
Prince Katsura will Immediately dissolve
the Diet and call for a general election,
meanwhile retaining office.
The order suspending the session was
issued BY the Emperor himself. II was

Prince Katsura's reply was brief lie
pojnted out that he had accepted the pre-
rniership at the command OF the EN-
peror. and he offered precedents for the
course he had pursued.
The attitude Of the Opposition Is very

Rainbows That Can Chanqe Sex.

In many parts of the world 1t Is the
general belief that the rainbow has
the power to change sex This queer
belief obtains In such widely separated
districts as South Africa and Norway
and China and Australia. The Zulus
have long folklore story OF the young
man who was changed into wrinkled
old woman by touching the many hued
arch. The Scandinavian peasants have
u similar story, and In Greece they say
that anybody who runs against the end
OF the rainbow will have his or her sex
instantly changed. In France and In.
dia TO pass under the rainbow has "a
similar effect.
