'i'UKIO, 8ept. 6. 10 a. m. Rioting broke
out here last (Tuesday) night In connection
with t he dissatisfaction over the result of
the peace settlement. There were several

TOKIO. 8ept. 5. (Delnyed In transmls
alon.) The first turbulence attendant on
the popular anger over the terms of pence
arranged with Russia took place today.
A mass meeting to protest against the
nctlon of the government was called at
Hlblya park, but the metropolitan police
closed the gates and attempted to prevent
the assemblage of the people. The muni
cipality protested against the action of the
police 'and finally the gates were thrown
open and a large crowd gathered and voted

humllated and denouncing the terms upon
which 'the treaty of peace was arranged.
The crowd was serious In Its conduct.
ratJier than angry, and the police handled
It discreetly. Tho gathering eventually
dispersed In an orderly manner.
Later on, however, a crowd attempted
to hold a meeting In the Bhlmlto theater
and the police dispersed it. A portion of
the crowd then proceeded to the office of
the Kokumln Rhinbun, the government
organ, and began hooting.
Mob Cheeked With Swords.
Three employes of the paper armed with
swords appeared at the door of the building
and checked the attack and the police
again dispersed the crowd. It was thought
that the trouble had passed when auddenly
a portion of the crowd made a rush for
the building, hurled stones and damaged
some of the machinery. '
Several persons were Injured during the
attack, but tho police eventually cleared
the streets of the crowd and arrested a
number of the rioters. The disorder Is
not general and the situation Is not seri
ous. Similar meetings have been held at Osaka
and Nagoya, which In round terms de
nounced the government and asked them to
resign.
General sentiment throughout the coun
try seems to favor reactionary measures,
bit'tt appears clear' that the majority of
the people will eventually accept the re

Peace Terms Displeasing;.
8 p. m. (Delayed In transmission.) The
press telegrams Outlining the peace terms
have further Inflamed the sentiment
against the settlement. The radicals and
hot heads continue to urge various ex
pedients to express the popular disap
proval. There has been no violence and
no signs of turbulence, although as a
precautionary measure the police reserves
have been Increased. The police are care
fully watching the developments of the
situation and the force will be doubled
should any violence occur. If It does. Its
speedy suppression Is assured.
The government continues silent. The
conservative element predict that the coun
try will approve the settlement when its
conditions are thoroughly understood. They
declare that the present agitation does not
represent either the ultimate sentiment of
the people or a sufficiently strong minority
to merit serious consideration.
Posstbly publto opinion will become more
definite when the government Informs the
people of the actual results of the Ports
mouth conference. There has as yetbeen
no Information given out regarding the
final adjustment of the most serious Issues.
Itadlrala Are Active.
TMegrama from Kobe, Nogoya, Osaka,
Base bo, Kanazawa, HimeJI, Kloyta and To
kom expressed the popular dissatisfaction
and dejection over the result. The minor
radical papers have thrown off all restraint
and pronou.ice It the greatest humiliation
the country has ever suffered. They advise
a refusal to ratify the treaty, through va
rious expedients. v
The higher nuuclle classes. Including com
mercial and finujiclal men, remain strangely
silent, but their disappointment Is evident.
The genera market, reflecting the attitude
of depression, declined sharply at the open

It Is Impossible for Japan to continue the

The radicals continue their campaign

Our object will not oe to punish anvbodv
for wrong-doing In the past, but to get at
all of the features of the modern Insurance
business, so ss to suggest to the next
legislature an adequate law that will not
only protect the policyholders in all Hfe In
surance companies, but mill likewise pro
tect the Insurance companies from abuse
at the hands of d. -signing persons. As
most Insurance companies are mutual In
theory, we shall endeavor to pass a law
that will compel them to be mutual In fact.
Then officers of the rompanv will alums
be working for the Interest of the policy
holders Instead of working ror themselves
by the formutlon of subsidiary companies
to divide the profits of the main comprtnv.
A large number of the present Insurance
laws are good. It will be our aim to
make them better.

given by Henrv B. Hyde, founder of the
Equitable society, to show the position of
the Equitable stockholders.
Robert A. Grannlss, first vice president
of the Mutual Life Insurance company,
was called a tho first witness. He testi

tutional convention met today and after
listening to an address signed by the chiefs
of the five trIUs favoring scpurate state
hood, took up the report of the committee
of fifty appointed to draw a constitution.
The report was read and printed copies
distributed. It was taken up section by
section later. Owing to the presence of
many full-blood Indians whose knowledge
of English Is somewhat limited, the Creeks
required the appointment of an Interpreter.
Before beginning the discussion of the re
port on the constitution the committee
aiipolnted to report on the required amount
of taxable property In Indian Territory,
made Its report, making the total JtlS.OnO,
t'i. The convention decided to carry on a
systematic campaign for the ratification of
the constitution and to this end thousands
of campaign buttons, speeches and news
paier articles will be distributed.
An attempt was made today to refer the
fight for the location of the capital, Eufaula
seeking the prlie, but the chairman. Chief
Porter, ruled this matter nnist lw brought
up when the section of the constitution on
the location of the capital Is placed be
fore the convention for final approval

sions. At tonight's session the constitution was
taken up and adopted section by section.
The preamble, christening the new state
Sequoyah, was adopted without a dsent
Ing vote.
The bill of rights covers ground covered
by most states admitted during the last
fifty years. Including a section prohibiting
lotteries, prize fights and slavery.

UNITED TYPOJHETAE MEETS
Employing Printers Stand Firm
Agalnat the Right-Hoar
Day.
NIAGARA FALLS. Sept. 6 The United
Typothetae of America continued Its con
vention here today. Reports of routine na
ture from various rommlttees were heard
and acted upon, but the one absorbing
topic of discussion and conversation was
the demand of the printers for the eight
hour day. The convention Is solidly op
posed to the demand. There seems to be
sign of weakening the position of the ex
ecutive rommlttee taken yesterday, namely,
not to grant the eight-hour day under pres
ent conditions.
This afternoon a telegram from J. W.
Bramwood. secretary of the eight-hour
committee of the International Typograph
ical union, announced that President Lynch
and Vice President Hays of the eight-hour
rommlttee would be In Niagara Falls to
morrow. It was resolved that courtesies of
the convention be extended to Messrs.
Lynch and Hays when they arrive.

DENVF.R. Sept. The main event of
the Grand Army encampment, speaking
from the view point of the rank and ftia,
was the grHnd parade which occurred to
day. To the veteran the privilege of again
keeping in step with comrades of the
bivouac of 'CI Is one for which no hardship
seems too great to undergo, no ordeal too
severe to undertake. Many who marched '
the two miles today were exhausted when
the end was reached and many others,
weakened by age. fell out of line long be
fore the Journey was completed. Three
tottering old veterans, regretting their Ina
bility to remain In the parade and giving
every evidence of their feelings, would he
cared for by the persons nearest at hand,
led to a place where they could rest and
recover from their exhaustion.
It was a common site to see a gray
haired soldier sitting on the curbing gating
wistfully at his more sturdy comrades as
they passed him by. The ovation given the
marchers was unstinted. The streets were
packed with people and tho windows and
roofs along the line of march swarmed with
humanity. The cheering was continuous
and the grlzsled old warriors were kept
busy bowing acknowledgements and rais
ing their hats In courteous salute.

rade was as follows:

Light showers had fallen during tha
nlprht, but the weather cleared thl morning"
nnd the annual Grand Army parad" ha
never taken place under more favorable
auspices.
Three Honrs In Pnaslnsr,
Three hours nnd five minutes were con
sumed by the procession In passing tha
grandstand, In front of which was the re
viewing stand. On the latter stood the
national officers of the Grand Army and
distinguished guests and In the grandstand
sat thousands of spectators. Colonel Har
per M. Orahood, chairman of the parade
committee, estimated that lfi.oflfl members
of the Grand Army participated In the
parade. Kansas carried off tho honors for
the largest representation, having nearly
2.BO0 men In line. The Colorado and Wyo
ming department came next, with 1.S00.
Illinois, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Ohio and Mis
souri had largo delegations. Fifty bands
and more than half that number of drum
corps supplied music for the marchers.
The most perfect arrangements possible
for communication and emergency service
were provided. Telephone stations were
placed along the route of march, and as-
I slstants were In attendance every block
or so. A horseman was unseated by hla
frightened mount and, in falling, broke a
finger. A surgeon stationed nearby had
set the Injured member and the man waa
astride his animal and In line again before
the procession had progressed two blocks
from the place where the accident occurred.
The only serious consequences of the strain
of marching reported to those In charge
was the case of John Donaldson of St.
Louis. He was stricken with heart failure
and was carried to a hospital In an am
bulance. His recovery Is doubtful.
One nor In Grey.
There were Interesting features ennneated
I with the parade, but perhaps the most lm-
prenslve was tho appearance of an ex
confederate aoldler In the gruy uniform of
hla fighting days. A great cheer rent tha
air as he stood alone In a carriage waving
the stars and strioes und bowing to the
multitude. This was repeatrd when later
he appeared marching arm In arm with an
aged veteran of the union army.
The announcement in the official pro
gram that the annual meeting of the Wom
an's Relief corps would Itegin tonight was
an error. Both the national encampment
of the. Grand Army of the Republic and
tho annual meeting of the Woman's Relief
corps will open tomorrow morning.
F.ntertnlnmrnts In the F.venlng.
Numerous schemes for entertainment
of the thouHands of visitors tonight were
worked out by the committee on enter
tainment. A run by the entire fire de
pailMiriit. during which Roman candles
were discharged, attracted a k.at crowd.
Throughout the evening ghost dances
were rendered by bands of Indians In full
costume of warriors as they rods about
the downtown districts on street cars
from which the seats hud been removed.
A reception was tendered Commander-in-Chief
King at the Brown Palace hotel by
the Ladles of the Grand Army of the Re
public. This function was attended by all
the prominent Grand Army people In tfta
city.
