TOKIO -RIOTS WERE . NOT ANTI-FOREIGN. "POLICE OFFICIALS HELD RESPONSIBLE UNWISELY SOUGHT TO RESTRAIN A _LEGITIMATE POPULAR ~-DEMONSTRATION. Oyster Bay, L.:L, Sept. 19.—Secre- tary Taft, in a cablegram from Tokio, has conveyed to the president ‘the assurances of the Japanese govern- ment given to him personally that the recent: riots in Japan were not anti- American demonstrations. Secretary Taft says the rioting has subsided and that.the members of his party have not been subjected to.the least indignity. He expiesses confidence that the friendship of Japan for. Amer- ica is.abiding. Following is the text of Secretary Taft's dispatch, which was made public by direction of the | president: “Japanese government is very anx- fous that the disturbances in Tokio and other towns should not be consid- | ered as anti-American demonstrations. They say they arose-as follows: Many of the Japanese people were despond- :ent because their hopes in respect to | the results of the .war had been } greatly exaggerated by unexpected i and uniform victories. These people in Tokio wished in a peaceable man- ‘,ner to protest on the subject; but.the | police authorities of Tokio Unwisely _and Hlegally « 'sought to restrain a legitimate r p- ular demcnstration and so met resist- jance. This created riot and at once placed control of the movement in the | hands of the lowest elements and made a mob without conscience which was hostile to the police especially and only incidentally to foreigners !who got in the way. There was no | movement directed against Americans or foreigners as such. The disturb- ances have subsided entirely and while the government .is maintaining at hamd sufficient forces to restrain further acts’ of violence there is not | the slightest evidence of a .condition of continued riot. Meetings held .iu other cities to protest:against peace permitted by the police -have been ipeaceflbla Members of -our .entire i party visited all parts.of Japan since | the riot at Tokio :and .not:éne member has been subjected ito -any indignity nat all.

YADISON, KAN., PARTIALLY INUNDATED HALF OF THE TWO THOUSAND RESIDENTS DRIVEN FROM THEIR HOMES. Madison, Kan., Sept. 19.—One of the worst floods that b@s ever been experienced here is raghg now. The Verdigris has overflowed its banks and half o Madison, with a popula- tion of 2,000, is under water. Great difficulty is experienced by the people in getting from their homes.

Mississippi Goes Up Ten Feet in Twenty-four Hours. * St. Louis, Sept. 19.—Heavy rains and swollen tributaries have caused a rise of over ten feet in the Missis- sippi river during the past twenty- four hours and resulted in damage Louls. ing to many thousands of dollars. A vast amount of produce and other shipping property along the levee is still in danger. Produce houses and grain and cot- ton firms having consignments stored along the levee organized gangs of laborers and endeavored to save their property from being swept away, but the suddenness of the freshet inter- fered to a considerable extent. Thou- sands of barrels of apples, bales of | hay, sacks of grain, bales of cotton and in one instance 75,000 feet of lumber were swept away. Men worked breast .deep in the flood intercepting floating merchandise and a fleet of :6kiffs manned by men with boathooks assisted in the salvage work. This marks the quickest rise in the river’s ‘stage since that of eleven years ago, when the river rose fourteen feet in ;one night. ‘Washouts at various places in Mis- :8ouri caused the annulment of five ‘trains .due here. 1 {RAIN CONTINUES IN SOUTHWEST. ‘Total Downfall of Ten Inches Since Sept. 1.

Thence the Brit- ish warships will go to New York. The actual date of the arrival there is not yet fixed.
