YOKOHAMA, Sept. 22. (Special corre
spondencesHere in Yokohama, not war,
but the rumors of "war. have been our
portion, and the fleet-footed "gohei," with
his Jangling bells and his pink paper ex
tra, fresh from the press, has been the in
dividual of most importance. He It was
who brought us the news of the unbeliev
able naval victory in the Sea of Japan;
two weeks ago, dressed. In honor of the
Importance of his message. In a short coat
with a design of tire-spitting dragons, he
brought news of the accomplished peace;
the other day. the Tokio riots; next, per
haps. It will be the resignation of the
Ministry.
Iq the past five months only one big
body of troops sailed from here, the regi
men who later fought In Sakhalin.
They were quartered on the people of the
town for several days, and marched in
squads about the streets. The one thought
that came to me when I saw their sturdy,
plodding figures and calm, determined
faces was, "Tfiey will go till they drop;
It Is written In every line and movement."
Ten transports carried thm away with
such thorough- preparation and expedition,
that those fit us who remembered the
sailing .of troops for Cuba, yfound some
thing nettling in the memory.
The fruits of the fighting la Sakhalin
came soon in strings of Russian -prisoners,
poor, disconsolate .peasants, unshaven and
unwashed, disheveled children and forlorn
women, mere helpless pawns in the war
game, stunned by what had befallen them.
Other fruits there were, too. Many of
the stocky little soldiers came back and
were laid to rest with their ancestors.
Tears Shed in the Dark.
Off in a side street, we heard the wall
ing notes of a march and watched the
Buddhist priest in his temple brocades,
tbe cart with two cypress trees to be
planted on the grave, the band of Japa
nese boys In uniform, men carrying ban
ners and sprays of sacred'gold-lcaf lotus;
others carrying aloft a square box with a
picture of the dead, framed In evergreen
on the front, his soldier cap on top. and,
concealed from sight within, his aBhes;
then came the women mourners, dressed
in white, with faces veiled; men wearing
straw mourning hats, and finally many
friends bringing up the rear. Just a com
mon Japanese soldier, dead for his coun
try and his Emperor, but the sight of
these frequent, pathetic processions brings
a lump to one's throat and tears to the
eyes.
One hears so much of the Japanese re
pression of feeling which ends often in
insanity that we asked our amah, whose
husband is at the front, if the Japanese
women ever cry when husband or son Is
killed.
"I think every woman all same," said
amah. "Maybe daytime no cry. but night
time they cry."
Yet the war was popular, for these peo
ple understand fighting until they die, but
the peace Is unpopular. Why stop and
conclude a shameful peace when Japan
might have won greater victories and
greater possessions? The people recall
the time, at the close of the China-Japan
War, when the fruits of victory were
snatched from them. They trust their
Admirals, their Generals, the old fighting
stock: their Emperor, the descendant of
the gods; but their diplomats they do not
trust. They think Russia in the council
chamber has proven a worse enemy than
Russia In the field.
Riots Were Prophesied.
Old-timers among the foreign residents
prophesied the riots that have just taken
place. They know the mercurial tempor
of the people, and realize that the leaders
of Japan were propelled violently out of
feudalism into the high hats, long coats
and parliaments of European countries,
while the fishermen arc content with loin
cloths and coats of tan, and hetween the
two classes are the people, striving to un
derstand something of the new education.
the new Industry, commerce, government
and the strange young world-relationship.
The home papers, of course, published
news of the Tokio riots, which, by the
way, are the first since Tokio has been
the capital, and you have read all of the
details. Those who' know say that had It
not been for the Interference of the po
lice with the Hiblya Park meeting, the
leaders of the movement would have spent
ttifcir strength in harmless harangue, pro
test and petition. They wanted the Em
peror to know that their diplomats had
not represented the sentiment of the peo
ple; the people had furnished the soldiers,
paid the taxes; such peace terms as those
agreed upon were not fair to them. That
was all that they wanted, until resistance
came. Then even the law-abiding sane-
tloned the riot.
Police Hated by Lower Classes.
It Is a rule In Japan that permission for
public meetings Is given by the police,
who attend, -keep order, and, when any
thing violent against the government Is
said, stop the speaker. One of the strange
things to a. foreigner is the sight of a
dinky (will you admit the expressiveness
of .the word, even though Webster arid
the Century do not?) and very grave
little policeman, over-officious, holding a
restlcs crowd In check by an upraised
hand.
Some one told me, perhaps with, more
poetry than truth, that the police all be
long to the families of those' (old two
sword ed samurai who would not go Into
defiling" trade when Japan gave up feudal
isolation and adopted commerce. How
ever that may be, their offlclousness has
made them much hated by the lower
classes and all who arc lovers of turbu
lence. So the resistance of the police
turned the meeting into a serious riot, in
which several people were killed and sev
eral hundred wounded.
The street-cars were burned because
the riksha men hate the cars, which make
their earnings leas". Then, too, the hUse
which put out the fire stft by the mob
at the .Home Minister's place, was bor
rowed from the car -station. The police
boxes were burned because of the police
opposition. Foreign and native churches,
12 in number, wre burned, not because
of anti-foreign feeling, but because the
pastors had preached peace, and here was
a peace that was worse than war.
A native pastor at an ill-chosen moment
went out to talk of the dove and olive
branch to the mob. withr the result that
the mob marched Into the house of the
missionary leader, a foreigner, burned
his furniture' and gave him half an hour,
to leave the house with his family. Per
haps you have heard of the American
church that was attacked by the mob.
As they parleyed before the door, the
man on guard said to the rabble:
"You don't want to burn this. It is an
American church."
"Show Your Flag' Cried Mob.
"Well," the mob leader replied, "if it
Is an American church, show your flag."
The guard hunted vainly for a flag and
finally admitted there was none. Where
upon the mob leader, with true mob wis
dom, replied:
"It 1b a lie, what he says. This Is no
American church." So' the rioters car
ried out the organ and seats and burned
them In the street Aftfer the first day's
rioting the reputable citizens took no part
and the disturbance was kept up by a
band of roughs and professional thugs.
The trouble in Yokohama was very
slight in comparison with that in Tokio.
Sunday evening some missionaries living
among the Japanese called to prophesy
trouble that night. And sure enough,
along in the solemn dead of -night
my door opened and, through the volu
minous folds of my mosquito net I saw
my sister standing with a frightened ex
pression on her face, nocturnal pigtails
about her shoulders and a kimono drawn
hastily over her nlghtclothcsCv
"Are you awake?" she said; "there's a.
big fire In the Japanese quarter It must
be those missionaries. Father and mother
are up on the roof." .
From the roof we could see the flames
die down and the black smoke curl up,
but a nothing else happened, we went
back to bed and fell asleep wondering
what would be next. Next morning the
servants told us that It wag a Japanese
house that burned accidentally. However,
on Tuesday night there was rioting on
Theater street.
Riot Over Lack of Orators.
Theater street is the street of Japanese
shows, wrestling and other amusements;
on ordinary occasions it Is thronged with
pleasure-seekers, and 'on this particular
night a big crowd gathered to attend an
oratorical meeting. Ten sen was charged
for admission .Of the six orators who
were, to spout about the peace terms,
four only appeared; the people demanded
the price Of admission back, but the man
ager had left with the money.
Meanwhile the crowd outside which
could not get into the overflowing house
became unruly and the police were
obliged to interfere. Then the troublo
began, many arrests were made, 12 police
boxes were burned and 23 constables
wounded.
The Yokohama police, taking warning
from the Tokio trouble, offered no re
sistance to the meeting of the people,
turned deaf ears to all criticism of the
government, so that the leaders, meeting
with no opposition, becameasharaed and
withdrew. Wednesday morning the resi
dents of Yokohama awoke to find them
selves under martial law, with, a double
number of police officers, and small camps
scattered about the town.
We foreigners, who cannot understand
this people, who find one trait which Ve
adopt as the keynote of the Japanese
character only to reject it then we find
another entirely contradictory, cannot
know how much antl-fcrelgn sentiment
there was In the recent rioting. The -sentiment
was chiefly against the govern
ment, ' against the police, but certainly
that Wednesday morning, when I went
shopping down In Honcho-dori, the air
was electric and many of the rikshaw
men and coo!les wore an unwonted, con
temptuous expression which I saw with
out seeing as I went by.
Attack That Did Not Develop.
A police inspector called that morning
to say that an attack was expected oa
the police station. Jupt across the street
from our house, and a "gohei" came
jangling into the servants' quarters with
an extra containing the same rumor. That
afternoon a guard of seven soldiers
stacked their guns and dropped their
knapsacks in our front yard. The serv
ants were frightened; but, above all
things on earth, they adore soldiers, so
they trotted out chairs to them, and a
bountiful meal of fish and rice, while the
muck Impressed cook ran back and forth
with Innumerable pots of tea.
The station was not attacked, the sol
diers are withdrawn. Baron Komura,
against whom the people are especially
Incensed, is delaying his return, the troops
are soon to come back from Manchuria,
Japan will settle down to housekeeping,
in all likelihood, with a new Ministry, and
time 'will tell many things that one can
only guess at sow. -
PEDUM BANKS IN
DANGER OF A RON
Money Has Been Rushecl to the
. City to Meet-the Ex
pected Crisis.
DOUGHERTY IS DEFIANT
Confesses ( to Shortage In School
Funds, but Expects lb Settle All
Trouble by Refunding the ,
Full Amount.
PEORIA, 111., Oct. 8. (Special.) Will
the banks of Peoria suffer tomorrow
morning from runs due to the excitement
following the Indictment of N. C. Dough
erty for embezzlement of the school funds
and the consequent closing of the doors
of the Peoria National Bank, of which
he was - president, and the run on the
Dime Savings Bank a few hours after
the announcement of the closing of the
doors of the Peoria National?
Saturday afternoon bank presidents and
directors met In hurriedly called meetings
to devise ways and means for protecting
their institutions from threatened runs.
Out-of-town banks holding their money
were communicated with and today large
sums of money were received, so that
ever bank Is now fully protected against
a possible run. The public nervously
awaits the coming of Monday morning,
and no one attempts to predict what tbe
day will bring forth.
One hundred and fifty true bills, based
on defalcations and forgeries amounting
to not less than $150,009 and uncovering a
shortage which will amount to not less
than half a million dollars, will be re
turned in open court against Dougherty
tomorrow morning. Forgeries, false
bookkeeping, padded school lists and plain
robberies, amounting to soma which are
far beyond the limit to which it was con
sidered the defalcations of Dougherty
could mount, were uncovered in the grand
jury room yesterday.
Difficult to Get Sureties.
Within a few minutes on Monday morn
ing the grand Jury will complete Its work
and at 10 o'clock It will file into the
courtroom and return to Judge Worthlng
ton the most ominous report that has ever
been offered In a Peoria court. This re
port will contain indictments on whlclJ
ine oau oi ine now iree man win oe in
creased to' a sum not less than 5100.000.
and there is not one chance In a hundred
that ' he will be able to obtain sureties.
The only alsernativo will be the custody
of the Sheriff and the Jail.
It can be positively stated that immedi
ately following the return of the Indict
ments against Dougherty will begin the
investigation of the books of the -Peoria
National Bank. Cashier S. O. Spring and
Teller Fred Bracken, who had the handl
ing of the school board funds, will be
called before the jury and asked to ex
plain certain transactions.' It was given
out today that one check was given by
Dougherty in school script and cashed
by the bank without the check being in
dorsed. The check was for (13,000. At
torneys say that the bank can be held
for this sum. Further sensational dis
closures are expected as the Investigation
proceeds.
Should the defalcations of the resigned
Superintendent reach the maximum which
Is now predicted by conservative people,
the school board of Peoria will lose not
less than $100,000 and. the deficit may run
to double this amount;
Securities of Doubtful Value.
Mr. Dougherty has put up securities of
a possible valuation of $190,000, but they
are so tied up that It Is doubtful If much
more than half this amount can be real
ized fom them.
It is now an open secret that Dougherty
has confessed that he is short at least
$30,000 and Insists that it will not exceed
$40,000 under any conditions.
"Thirty thousand dollars will cover it,"
he has said to his friends. "I have the
money to pay the amount, whatever is
found, and I Intend to do so."
When asked why he did this, Mr.
-Dougherty offers no explanation and re
verts to this determination to square all
shortage with tho school board. His
friends say: .
"We have never seen such bravado as
he displays. He does not seem to ap
preciate the circumstances at all. He
thinks his refunding the shortage will
make it all right and that there is no
one yet to settle with. We do not be
lieve be thinks of the criminal part of
the affair and the fact that he may re
pose behind the bars."

SPECIAL CABLE.
MOSCOW, Oct. 9. A reign of terror
again exists throughout the city and ad
joining country, as the result ot renewed
rioting between the strikers and troops.
Desperate fighting has taken place In
every quarter ef the city, and dozens of
strikers have been killed and wounded.
The rioting began early Sunday morn
ing, when a band of Socialists, carrying
red ilags and banners, bearing deroga
tory Inscriptions commenting on mem
bers of the royal family and local author
ities, tried to parade through the prin
cipal streets. The police attempted to
disperse them, when someone fired a shot
from a revolver. The bullet severely
wounded Police lieutenant Nicholas Pont-
chevltcb.
The police then fired a volley into the
crowd and charged It, only to be driven
back with some loss. Troops were then
called and a sortie of mounted Cossacks
drove the crowd Into a side street, tramp
ling -the leaders under the feet of the
horses.
The situation is considered serious, and
troops were last night brought from out
lying barracks and placed on guard about
the various, public buildings and large
manufacturing establishments.
The temper of the populace Is ugly.
as the strikers are suffering severely
from hunger, and rioting will likely be re
newed today.
Thursday's and Friday's rioting were
as nothing compared with those of Sun
day, and the details of the bloody work
which are slowly filtering out indicate
the number of killed will exceed 50, while
the number of wounded will run well Into
the hundreds. .
The strikers and the military last night

The new organization will follow the
lines of the Eastern Church Association
of the Church of England, and will have
branches In nil dioceses of the Episcopal
Church in this country. If the plans of
the promoters are successful.
It Is said that within the past half
dozen years the relations between tha
Russian and Episcopal Churches have
been growing closer, but until the thanks
giving evensong held at Portsmouth there
had been no general participation In one
service by both churches.

SETTING TRAPS
FOR ROOSEVELT
Railroad Senators Scheme to
Make the Rate Bill
Toothless.
AVOID TARIFF REVISION
Will Seek to Foist AVorthless Rate
Bill on President on Condition
He Will Not Insist on
Tariff Reform.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Oct. 8.-Between this time and
the assembling of Congress on December
4. President Roosevelt will hold a series of
conferences with men prominent In the
Republican party In Congress relative
to the prospects of railroad and tariff
legislation. Those who have talked
with him at Oj-ster Bay during the
Summer, when his time was not taken
up with peace negotiations, are satisfied
that the President will place rate leg
islation ahead of everything else, and.
If Jt has to be done, will sacrifice
tariff legislation In order to get the
railroad rate bill through. And there
Is every reason to believe that the
President will adhere to this Intention
But the President will have confer
ences with hl3 supporters with a view
to outlining a campaign In support of
the railroad rate bill. He knows, and
his supporters know, that the oppo
nents of the bona fide rate regulating1
bill are going- to resort to all manner of
means to prevent the passage of a bill
favored by the President, and the Pres
ident is Just sharp enough to start In
way ahead of the session to head off the
opposition. He knows he will have to
outwit or outgeneral some of the most
adroit men In the Senate, but the Pres
ident Is no slouch when It comes to
dealing with smooth Senators, and he
ought to succeed even better than be
fore on this issue, because he has the
great mass of the people behind him.
Want Tariff Let Alone.
The latest announcement that comes
Ifrora the opponents of the President's.
rorm or rate bill' Is that the tallroads of
the country will withdraw their appo
sition to the rate bill If they can have
assurance that Congress will let the
tariff alone. It is announced that the
roads have more to fear from a revi
sion of the tariff than from any Gov
ernment regulation of freight rates,
and they will submit to the. latter, if
thereby they can escape the conse
quence of tariff legislation.
In the first place. It is very much to
be doubted if any such sentiment really
prevails among: tho men who' are au
thorized to speak for the railroads. It
Is very much to be doubted if the rail
road interests, given the choice, would
take rate legislation in preference Ip
a remodeling of the tariff, as Is pro
posed by florae Republicans. And sec
ondly. If the railroads made any such
proposition, the Administration would
have to have a care to see that It was
not tricked. Such a proposition coming
from the railroads would arouse the
same suspicion as the declaration, of
Senator Elkins, chairman of the In
terstate commerce committee, that he
.was favorable to rate legislation.
Pa? Toothless Rate Bill.
The fear has existed all along- that
the anti-Roosevelt Republican Senators
that is the Senators who disagree
with the President on the 'question of
rate legislation are going to pass
through the Senate some harmless sort
of railroad rate legislation, a bill that
will not satisfy the President or dis
please the railroads, and, having gone
that far, refuse to amend their legis
lation to conform to the Ideas of th
President. That would be an effective
way of fighting and men like Elkins,
Aldrich and others are just tricky
enough to try that method of beating:
the President. And there would be rea
son to suspect the railroads of favoring
such a plan" if they should suddenly
surrender, and consent to the passage
of a rate bill.
