It is not easy to gather, from comments in the Japanese papere, whether the House of Peers was actuated so much by a desire to check expenditure as by hostility to the Cabinet and to the Cou stitutionalists who lent it support. Twice the Opposition attempted to impeach the Government and on each occasion it was defeated. The first defeat indeed, led to angry demonstrations in Tokyo and elsewhere, and the second also proved unsuccessful. When the Opposition found itself unable to defeat the Government the Peers wants to prove that it is over Road this evening at 8 o'clock. took the battle and succeeded.
