I continued: but the man had completely changed Into a hog by this time, and, coming out from his place behind the desk, he looked wick? ed enough to choke me then and there.

SAYS POLICE CAUSED THE TROUBLE. explains the Origin aed Effect ?< Recent Violent Demonstrations and Says tba Japanese Qovernmeat Is Anxloos to Con? tinue the Friendly Relations With United Slates. Oyster Ray, I,. I. (Special).?Secre? tary Taft in a cablegram from Tokio has conveyed to the President ihc assur? ances of the Japanese government, given to him personally, that the recent riots in Japan were, not anti-American dem? onstration-;. Secretary Taft says the rioting has subsided, and that the mem? bers of his party have not been subjecte?! to the least itvlignity. He expresses confidence that the friendship of Japan for America is abiding. Following is the text of Secretary Taft's dispatch, which was made public by direction of the President : Tokio, September 17, 1*505. The President : Japanese government is very anxious that the disturbances in Tokio and other towns should not be considered as atiti Amcrican demonstrations. They say they arose as follows: Many of the Jap? anese people were disappointed because their hopes in respect to the resid?s of the war had been greatly exaggerated 1> unexpected and uniform victories. These people in Tokio wished in a peaceable manner to protest on the subject, but the police author'.its of Tokio unwise? ly and illegally sought to restrain a le? gitimate popular demonstration, and so met resistance. Tilia created riot, and at once placed control of the movement in the hands of the lowest elements, and made a mob without conscience, erhich was hostile to the police especially, and only incidentally to foreigners who got in the way. There was no movement di? rected against Americans or foreigners as such. The disturbances have sub sided entirely, and while the government is maintaining at band sufficient forces to restrain further acts of violence, there is not the slightest evidrnee of a condi? tion of continue?! riot. Meetings held in other cities to protest against pence pei mitted by the police have been pcaceahl .*. Members of our entire party visited all parts of Japan since the riot at Tokio, and not one member lias been subjected to any indignity at all. I feel sure thai the statement of the authorities n cor? rect., and that any effort to create ?he impression that there is an ant i foreign demonstration or anti-American senti? ment in the great body of the people of Japan is unjust. I hope that >ou will deem it 'vise to give publicity to this dispatch, in justice to the Japanese gov? ernment .'lid people, whose friendship for America and gratitude for the as? sistance -which yon rendered them m the matter of peace is abiding.

The watchman was almost suffocated, and ap? pealed to the men to give him a chance to breathe, declaring that he was a mar? ried man and was useful to his family. The buglars, therefore, cut a breathing bole in the haaj? They then blew open the safe and de? molished the office.
