Prince Taro Katauro Center of
Toxic Riot In Which Several
Are Hurt.

Toxic, Feb. 11.-Prince Taro Katsura,
premier and minister of foreign ar
fairs of Japan, was stoned Monday by a
mob in the streets.
The stoning of Katsura came imme-
dfately after he had offered to the en-
peror his resignation and that of the
other members of the cabinet.
Several newspaper offices were also
attacked by the crowds, who attempted
to set fire to the buildings.
There We're many riots in various
parts of the city, in the course of which
a number of policemen and civilians
were injured. The excitement con
tinues.
Marquis Kiminochi-S%a ionji, former
premier and now leader of the consti-
tutional party was to the
palace by his majesty Immediately aft
er the receipt of Katsura's resigna-
ton.
The cabinets action is the result of
the firm attitude of the constitutional
lists and liberals, who refused to follow
the example of Saionji in withdrawing
the recent vote Of lack of confidence
in the government. The cabinets only
step to meet this opposition was an
immediate dissolution of the diet, but
the minister of marine. Admiral Baron
Minoru Saite refused to sign the rec,
concentration for this action and the
resignation of the cabinet became i'm
