Washington had more exact assur-
ances Of the purposes of the constitu-

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

Toxic, Feb. 11.-Prince Taro Katsura,
premier n minister of foreign af-
fairs of Japan, was stoned Monday by a
mob in the streets.
The stoning of Katsura came imme-
diately after he had offered to the EN-
~peror his resignation n 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 were many riots in various
parts of the city, in the course of which
a number Of policemen n civilians
were injured. The excitement con-
tinues.
Marquis KlmInochi-S aionji, former
premier I'M now leader Of the consti-
tutional party was summoned 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

Minoru Saite refused to sign the rec

Corn, wheat, potatoes and eggs, to-
gether with a number Of other COM
modities are lower, although chickens
