JAPAN's CLEVER SCHEME
Mlkado's Statesmen Seek to Win Chin;
as an Ally.

as an Any.
Picking, July 13.-The growth Of Japan
csc influence in China since the upheaval
of 1900, has attracted little attention In
the United States and in Europe because
it has developed gradually. Nevertheless
it Is one of the results Of that campaign
which would be considered in connection
with the future politics of the far east
Moreover, there are indications that
Japan is striving in every way to advance
that influence with the Chinese govern
ment and it is even broadly stated that
her ultimate object is to strengthen her
own position by an alliance with the CO.
lestial empire, using the argument that
together they could better resist the ag-
gressions of the western powers.
Japan's meteoric rise since she began
to adopt western methods, little more
than a half a century ago. has doubtless
impressed many prominent Cinnamon who
are now fully awake to the helplessness
of their country which was so strikingly
illustrated by the easy capture Of their
capital.
Japs Are There.
It lis certainly true, as the records Of
the Japanese legation here show, that a
large number of Japanese have invaded
northern China since the Boxer war. Not
counting the Russians, they are perhaps
equal In number to all the Europeans and
Americans in Niuchuang, Port Arthur and
Dalny.
There are over 1900 at Tientsin and
more than 500 in Peking. Before the
troubles they were a mere handful. To
attain her political objects, Japan's agents
are trying to win the confidence Of the
the progressive viceroys, Chang Chi Tung
and Yuan Shi Kali Several Chinese Off
Gals have been induced to visit Japan
during the past few years. They were
warmly welcomed and Japan sought to
impress them with the community Of in
terest between the two countries 1t Is
also said that Japan Is seeking to effect
and that there are many Japanese in
structors in the army who superseded
the Europeans, who were in the service
before the Boxer troubles.
Chinese In Japan.
The Imperial university in Picking,
which was directed from its beginning
by the learned DR.. w. A. P. Martin. an
American missionary, has been reorgan-
lied by the Japanese. The troubles be-
tween the Chinese minister in Japan and
the students of his country revealed the
fact, which was a surprise to the diplo-
mats in Picking, that a thousand Chinese
students were living in Toxic. That was
six months ago. Since, the number OF
Chinese students has increased to 1000
and includes the children of some of the
highest officials and nobility apart from
the ruling race, the Manchus, who here
tofore have scorned to look beyond the
walls Of Peking for knowledge. What is
even more surprising, there are more
girls among them.
Cheapness was the potent argument
which the Japanese used to attract
Chinese students to Japan. Most Of the

NAL agricultural and scientific schools,
and others toll in the. private establish
ments of Mr.. Fukudawa and Count
Okuma, who have played great part in
undermining Japan.

Western Half Has Pretty Good Stand

Western Half Has a Pretty Good Stand
of All the Cereals.
Special to The Journal.
Lakota, N. D., July 27.-When reports
so discouraging come from various parts
of the state, it is refreshing to be able
to report a comparatively good crop pros
pect in Nelson county. All the western
part of this county is good, and many
fields give promise of twenty bushels of
wheat an acre, with fax equally good
or better. Barley is being cut and
shocks UP fairly well. Oats are short,
but the heads are we'll formed, and while
the yield is likely to be shorter than that
Of other grains, it will not be bad,
judging from the present outlook. All
straw will be light, but light straw and
a good yield Of grain is the most profit
able crop to handle. 49,
The eastern half of the county Is not
as good as the western, but will show a
good average.

Berlin, July 27.--The military strength

Of the infantry brigades, which would
bring the Amur forces up to $50, 900 men.
