VIOLENT POLITICAL RIOTS IN
CITY OF OSAKA, JAPAN

Toxic, Feb. 11.-Violent political
riots broke out in the city of Osaka
today. officers of the newspapers
which support Prince Katsura, the
premier, were attacked by great mohs.
Several deaths are reported.
The situation in Toxic was quieter
today. The rioting of last night in
which seventy persons were killed or
seriously injured, ceased when the Sc
we're charges of the soldiers compelled
the mobs to seek shelter. There was
no further disturbances up to midday
and today the authorities withdrew the
patrols of soldiers from the streets.
The rioting appears to have con-
vinced the government of the futility
of continuing in the Katsura reign.
Katsura and his cabinet, who as
sembled at 10 o'clock last evening, re-
manned in session until noon today.
The building where they met was
strongly guarded. The council of elder
statesmen was called together by the
emperor at the imperial palace this
afternoon. After these meetings had
acted, 1T was semi officially announced
that the resignation of Katsura and
his colleagues would be accepted by
the emperor.
Count Gombei Yamamoto, former
minister of marine, has signified his
willingness to accept the premiership
together with the leadership of the old
constitutional party. Of which the
Marquis Saionji is now chief
Prince Kasura will in the meantime
proceed with the organization of his
proposed new progressive party.
