NAVAL PARLEY
WATCHESJAP
REBELLION
BY DAVID p. SENTNER
international News Service

LONDON, Feb. rs. d.NS0-De-
velopments in Japan's military In
surrection were watched with
anxiety today by United States
and British delegates to the Naval
Conference, fearful lest it might
further hog-tie the already fet
tered parley.
The situation was regarded with
some apprehension because it had
been hoped here that the late
Premier Okada's government
would eventually adhere to the
qualitative agreements reached to
date, or at least refrain from
starting q naval race.
Possible key to solution Of the
laundering conference has been
in an Anglo-French agreement on
a proposal that Germany be
sounded out on a separate quail
tative agreement with Britain
along the lines reached by the
four powers represented at the
parley-the United States, Brit
ain, France and Italy.
This separate agreement would
supplement the present Anglo
German treaty.
If the conference collapses the
powers will initiate the technical
agreements already reached and
then await bilateral negotiations,
including q potential Anglican
ican agreement and a European
agreement among Britain, Ger
many and France in case Italy re-
fuses to Join unless League Of Ma
tions sanctions against her are
removed.
The British foreign office again
officially denied a reported Amer1-
can-G -German-BritiSh propose ,
pointing out the consistent stand
of the United States against Euro
pean complications.

When the counts guards re-

Then, according to the reports,
they captured Count Makino'S
villa and set it afire, fleeing i'm
mediately. The count was re-
ported to have been slightly hurt,
but to have escaped to safety.
The rebels also penetrated the
home of DR.. Suzuki, leader Of the
Seiyukai party, badly mainland
ling and injuring him.
At 8 o. m. the rebels were still
apparently holding out at the
headquarters of the metropolitan
police. but it was stated Police

the rebels in the early fighting.

building with a counter-attack
against the embattled insured

In addition to the marines, the
imperial guard was ordered to
drive out the rebels. The imperial
guard, numbering between $4,000
and $1,000 men, and including
units of infantry, cavalry, field
artillery and the air corps, Is con
centrated in and about Tokyo and
outnumbers all other military
units stationed there.

Tokyo Calls Marines
To Battle 5000 Rebels

SHANGHAI, Feb. 26 G.N.SO.
The Japanese government called
in loyal marines from the Yoko-
Suka naval base tonight to crush
5000 military mutineers who re-
volted in Tokyo, aSsasSinating Pre-
mier Keisuke Okada and half q
dozen other leaders and engaging
in furious street fighting which
was reported to have taken a
heavy death toll.
Reports filtering through a
tight censorship told . bloody
story Of rioting, incendiariSm and
seizure Of government buildings,
but stated the marines at 8 p. m.
were In command Of the Tokyo
ministry Of marine.
Entrenched there, they were
ready to give battle to the rebels
II they were attacked, but 1t was
reported that up to that hour the
mutineerS, lodged in other gov
ernment buildings, had not been
entirely cleaned out.
Shot In Cold Blood
According to the description Of
the assassination Of Premier Ok
ada reaching here, a group Of
rebels aroused Okada from his
sleep and shot him down in cold
blood.
Apparently the technique Of
the mutineers was to call ct the
houses of their victims, force
their way past the guards, enter
the private apartments Of the
statesmen and financial leaders
and shoot them down on the spot.

Stock and commodity markets
In Tokyo and Osaka were closed,
and it was understood that pub

Of the coup was the struggle for
many years between the army
and parliamentary statesmen for
control Of the Japanese govern
ment. a. Ph8g
OF late years the Army, eSpe-
cially the Kwantung or conti-
mental division. had virtually
taken foreign policy on the Asiatic

The revolt was attributed to sev.

victory.
The young officers apparently
attempted to win by force what
they failed to get constitutionally.

Nugget Has Some
 Oranges, But Sad
 Say Missed Plane

The Nome Daily Nugget had tough luck today ac- cording to a telegram from the Juneau Empire which stated that there were two boxes of fresh oranges from Los Angeles aboard the steamer Yukon which were to have been transfer red to the PAA plane at Juneau for transmission to the Nugget at Nome and the News-Miner at Fair banks.
 The wire said that or ders in the mail were not opened until after the plane left Juneau yesterday for Fairbanks and Nome, and so the oranges will have to continue to Seward aboard the vessel and be received here later.
 It is all part of the pub licity campaign of showing how speedily fresh fruits may be transmitted from the place of their growth to destinations in the far North.
 The Nugget and the News Miner will have to just imagine for a few days how good those oranges can taste. Especially since seeing Mayor Seidenverg's swell-looking, five day old oranges received today,

 He was immediately taken to the hospital but died be fore morning. Death was due to coronary thrombosis form of heart failure.

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-While
sales activities have been seriously
slowed by the recent weeks Of
severe storm and cold, there have
been compensations in the result
ing large demands for emergency
supplies. The immediate and
sharp call for winter merchandise
revealed shortages in many areas.
Hardware Age will say tomorrow

Retail stocks of axes, Shovels
and picks, oil and electric heaters.
tire chains, denatured alcohol.
gloves, mittens and other cold
weather items have been frequent
ly insufficient to supply the heavy
demand, and wholesalers have
been called on for an unusual
amount of rush service.
January had started with a very
satisfactory rate Of increase over
1885, in general retail sales, but
after the middle Of the month,
shopping became So difficult that
early gains were largely offset. It
will be remarkable, therefore, II
final January totals shall be
found ahead of those Of a year
ago. Wholesalers have Jared
