i
TOKIO, Jan. 15. A mistaken ldest pre
vails abroad in relation to the Japanese
Cabinet crisis, according . to dispatches
from' Washington and London to the ef
fect that an opposition victory might en
tail a change in Japan's foreign policy.
Specials from - Washington this morning
say it is reported that the' immigration
controversy had something to do with
changes in the Cabinet. These reports
aro entirely in error. The Cabinet crisis
is purely the result of interior differences
over the budget.
In the event of the resignation of the
entire Cabinet, its reformation would cer
tainly result in the retention of a num
ber of the present' ministers, including
possibly Foreign Minister Hayashh
CAUSES
PROLONGED
CRISIS
Change in Japanese Cabinet Means
Dissolution of Diet.
TOKIO, Jan. 15. Any accurate predic
tion concerning the probable life of the
Marquis Saionji's Cabinet is impossible.
Nakashoji, Vice-Minister of Commun
ications, resigned' today. He will be
succeeded by Muzuka, of the Railroad
Bureau.
The inability of the government to avert
a climax and the resignations of the
Ministers of Finance and Communications
have created a situation approaching a
political panic Even those best informed
are unable to forecast tomorrow's de
velopments with any degree of certainty.
The -consersus of opinion is to the ef
fect that the present Cabinet, with either
double portfolios or possible additions,
will face the new Diet, which, after the
general elections of. Spring, will . open
JOly 22.
An effort is being made today to fill
those vacancies, but a difficulty is en
countered in securing the consent of
statesmen to accept the responsibility un
der existing circumstances. Reliable au
thorities think the Constitutionalists will
refuse to accept the government's finan
cial policy when the budget is presented.
In this event the Cabinet will resign, the
Diet will be dissolved and the former
budget will be continued until another
Cabinet is formed and a new budget is
drawn and passed.
There is no reason to doubt that the
present . situation, is due entirely to the
financial problem. The emigratlonques
tion Is absolutely unaffected and. had
nothing to do with hastening the climax.
It is, firmly believed on all sides that
the emigration questions which exist
with America and Canada will be settled
amicably. In fact, since the present criti
cal situation developed the emigration
question has been hardly mentioned.
An interesting feature of the situation
is the increasing influence of the com
mercial classes in the politics of Japan.

TOKIO, Jan.' 15. The presentation of a
synopsis of the budget to the leaders
of both Houses, which had been arranged,
was suddenly postponed, and it was an
nounced that changes are to be made In
certain items. Leading business men esti
mate that the government receipts for
1908-9 will amount to about $510,000,000, and
expenditures to about $15,000,000, of which
approximately one-third is for the Army
and Navy. This would leave a deficit of
nearly $5,000,000. which Finance Minister
Sakatant expected to pay by increased
taxation.

No bbjection was made by any one to
the amendment. On the -contrary, there
