Chinese Opinion OF Europeans.

Edward Walker. former mission.
ary and hospital director at 500 Chow,
showed me the other day a copy of
the pamphlet that was circulated
some twelve years ago in Hong Kong
against the Christian mission work.
Il affirms that Europeans do not be-
long to tine human race, but are de-
scended from monkeys; this race of
wild beings worship neither the heav-
ems nor the earth they do not honor
their parents, nor have respect for
their forefathers; they come into
China under the pretense of preaching
o religion, but really come to take the
eyes and brains OF dying people and
the blood OF children; with these they
make medical pills which they sell in
their country and thus securs shrewd-
ness-New York Press.

JAPAN YIELDS TO EUROPE
She Gives Up Her Claims on the Lao

This Much She Comedies to the Wishes

Peace---Foreign Fleets Assemble At

Che-Foe For Peace Notifications.
japan, in conformity with the friendly ad-
vice OF Russia, France and Germany, has un-
dsrtaken to renounce her claims to final pos
session OF the Fengtien or Liao-TunS terri
tory in China.
Nr. Some Arasuke. the japanese Minister
10 France, informed N. Hanotaux, Minister
OF Foreigp Affairs, that Japan, in Difference
to The friendly advice of the protesting Pow
CTS, had renounced her claim to permanent
possession Of the Liao-Tung peninsula, in
eluding Port Arthur. Adespatch to the Lon
don Globe SAYS that Japan also intimated to
Germany her willingness to give up possess
zion Of Liao-Tung.
The London Morning Post commends
Japan for yielding to the demands OF the
three Powers, and condemns Russia, Ger
many and France for acting in their own
interests and ignoring China. Great
Britain" it says. was disinterested ana
equally loyal to both China and Japan"
The London News says: THE coalition
has made deplorable mistake in coercing
Japan, but it is enough for US to know that
vo did not share the mistake.
The London Times says: Japan is to be
congratulated upon her good sense and the
self-control Of her statesmen. We rejoice
that she recognized the wisdom OF not push
ing her pretensions too far. Russia ls to be
congratulated upon the success OF her
diplomacy. Events show how prudent 1t
was for Japan to compel China to accept
definite terms before replying to the Powers.
The radical journals agree that France
would act wisely in advising Japan not to
abuse her victory, but at the same time
France must not resort to coercion.
The Paris Debats says: Japan will not
abandon her claims for recompense for the
surrender Of the Liao-Tung peninsula. I'M
mediately after the rati1cations are en-
changed, negotiations will be opened with
China. Japan will determine the nature OF
such recompense, and the Powers probably
will support her in return Tor her yielding
now"
1t is presumed from this that an under
sanding has been reached with Russia
whereby Japan will relinquish part OF the
Chinese territory which she is permitted by
the terms of the treaty to occupy, and thus
placate Russia, who strongly opposes the
presence OF the japanese troops in any part
OF China's territory.
Official information has been received at
Washington, making it conclusive that the
Chinese Emperor signed the treaty without
notifications. As the japanese Emperor al
1xed his signaturetw two weeks before, nothing
remained necessary in order to put the doc
ament into full effect but the formal cere-
mony Of the accredited agents OF each Gov
srnment handing to the other in its elabor-
ateIy decorated lacquered case the signed
agreement Of peace and amtty and CONNER
Clal intercourse.
Russia invited France and Germany to
Emite in guaranteeing the regular payment
