BODY BLOW IS
 GIVEN POPULAR
 RULE IN JAPAN
Recent Appointment of Premier TerauChi Is Victory for the
 AriStOCratS.
KATO KEEPS UP FIGHT

TOKYO. Nov 4.-The recent ap- poinment of Count Terauchi. former goyernorgeneral Of Korea, as pre- mier. is a body blow to popular gov ernment in Japan.
 It marks the close of a great struggle between the representatives of the people and the oli bureau cratic. aristocrauc clan system. with the latter winning a decided victory. lt is a victory, however which is sure to be followed by continued hard fighting, for in spite of royal tvs place in Japan. the popular ele- ment is increasing in strength
 Marquis Okuma's premiership was the first tentative approach to real party government that Japan has known.
 Count Obuma was called to power three years ago when the bureau. cratic parties which have controlled the empire since the restoration were faced with storm Of popular dis content reused to typhoon pitch by the naval scandals.
 There were riots in Tokyo, Public disgust had reached the stage when almost anything might have happen ed it the attempt to maintain a mili- tary or naval ministry in power had been persisted in.
 okuma elacated People
 The Elder Statesman, executives Of the bureaucrats. who have taken the place of the federal lords of old, know when to yield Okuma's ap- polntment allayed popular discomfort. and he placated the military party by passing the army increase bill which had baifled several govern ments.
 When the storm blew over and the army increase was secured, the mandarins began to think that Oku- ma had done enough and might be permitted to retire gracefully. While all the nobles of the land were gathered at Kioto last November for the coronation an extensive in- trlgue was commenced against him.
 Nothing happened. but a comprom- ise had to be fixed up with the House of Peers on the budget. Wis count Kato. the leader of the larg- est party in the elected house and strongest figure in the Okuma min istry, retired, oStensibly because one of his lieutenants was discovered to have been mixed up in the bribery

which accompanied the effort to pass the two division army increase bin, but in reality. it was said, because of the failure Of the Chinese nego. tiations which he initiated.
 If Okuma retired Kato was the na- tural successor But Kato was ob. noxious to Prince Yamagata, the head of the Elder Statesmen.
 Kato Organizes Opposition
 Kato. who spent eight years in London and picked up @ knowledge of how parliamentary government works. lay low and passed his time organizing parliamentary resistance to the attempt to replace Okuma.
 The first step was a series of conferences at which the leading par ties pledged themselves Co fight any military or clan interference with foreign policy, and resolved that in future increases of armaments would be governed by financial considera- uons.
 Count Terauchi, goyernorgeneral. of Korea and the chosen nominee of military-bureaucratic party sud- denly appeared in Tokyo and began a series of conferences with his political friends. It became known that he was trying to form a minis try and the fact leaked out that Mar quis Okuma had intimated to the emperor his wish to retire it a suit. able successor could be found He Informed Terauchi that he would rec ommend him as a suitable successor if he would agree to continue the policies of the Okuma government Terauchi is supposed to have declin- ed 10 accept any conditions.
