how farcial is the so-called concert The
Chinese ENJOYS are kept well Informed
regarding the discussions and disputes
of the ministers at their meeting. So
intimate, indeed, are the relations of
Lii Hung Chang with the Russians that
there is no reason why he should not be
invited to attend the conferences of the
ministers.
Japan requires that the note be
amended by stipuating that China shall
erect a monument to the murdered Su-
giyama, her chancellor of legation.
