out here yesterday, following parlia
ment's refusal to censure the cabinot

the navy, continued throughout the
uight and was still in progress in sev

The determined character of the ris

authorities were doing thoir utmost to
suppress it. As often, however, as they
succeeded in restoring order in one
quarter, trouble would begin in another.
Public buildings were heavily guard

ful not to show themselves except with
strong escorts.
Reports were current, too, of disturb
ances in other cities, but not much
ould be learned concerning them, as
the government, though trying not to
give an appearance of suppressing the
news, was minimizing it as far as pos
sible. FIGHT OVER BOOKS

As tho statement rendered did not in-
cludo classification of tho expenditures

Total 137.500
I am satisfied, upon an examination
f tho expenditures, that the snme re

through tho expenditure of far less,
and I would recommend that the ex
penditures for this year bo so regulat
