The mob collected in Hibiya park to
protest against the alleged corruption
in the navy and to recommend the vote
of lack of confidence in the government.
When they were informed that the res
olution of censure had been defeated,
the angry people stormed the diet and
made attempts to enter.
The police succeeded in beating back
the onslaught with their clubs and the
troops were called out to combat the

from Norfolk late in January to effect

the Bay of Islands, is believed to be

Latest news of the distressed ship
came in a dispatch late yesterday from
Curling, n. +. which said the Potomac
had been sighted Saturday about five
miles from the Bay OF Islands
While mariners generally, despite the
stoutness OF the stanch tug, express
fear that the small vessel may be
