JAPANESE SUFFRAGETTES.
: - ; ' The woman movement has struck Japan. A law has been proposed in Parliament permitting women to take part in political gatherings. The Ministry succeeded in securing tho rejection of the measure on tho familiar grounds thut it "breaks up tho peace of tho home and destroys tho family." The principal speaker against it declared that he would never consent to bringing the women of Japan to "tho shameless level of the women of Europe and America." A speaker replied to this by showing that tho law forbidding such participation was passed in ' and included women with "robbers, incendiaries, vagrants and Liberals." All observers agree that tho beginnings of the great world unrest of women are making themselves strongly felt in Japan.
