SUFFRAGE IN JAPAN.
PETITIONS SIGNED IN BLOOD. Tokio, Feb. 25.—The press is practically united in denouncing the Government’© action in bringing in police in connection with the uproar in the Diet, and especially in issuing visitors’ tickets to the Diet gallery to 200 detectives, which is termed an illegal attempt to coerce the Diet minority.
