(TJolted Prats Lnui wtte.t Toklo, Feb. 21. Impeacnment of 'the Japanese cabinet, headed by Marquis Katsura, was demande4 in the diet today. Introduced by the constitutional nationalist party, a resolution was placed before the diet declaring the cabinet responsible for the growth Of anarchism In Japan and for a serious schism among its people growing out of tho contents of a new school text book which practically attacks the right of the mikado to his "throne.

Great excitement exists throughout the country as a result of the latter complication, and the bitterness engendered, it is feared, may have serious consequences. The accusation of responsibility for the growth of Socialism and anarchy in the empire Is stated in general terms. The Katsura administration is bitterly censured for tpo severe repressive meas-sures and particularly for the execution of Kotoku, tlie Socialist, and his partisans, the constitutionalists mslntaintng that too great severity only feeds th flames of Socialism and will result In Its rapid growth. 1 1 Hlstorio remd The other, yet more serloui, charge against Katsura and his cabinet is based on conditions peonllar to Japan.
