In the course Of the busy day he

carry out of the Office, but was stopped
in mid career by an indignant woman.

pointed triumphantly to the bit OF

cHEFoo A RUSSIAN BASE.
Grounds on Which Japs Declare II
Isn't a Neutral Port.

London. Aug. 19.-Japan's broad
claim that Chefoo has been practically
q itussian base all through the war is
being investigated. Thus for instance
the facts are being obtained in con-
nection with the establishment by the
plant at Chefoo which he alleges COM
municates with Port Arthur.
In respect to the Ryeshitelni the
British officials say thai much may be
sara In supper OF the Japanese con-
tention. If the R%yeshielni, as the Jap
anese claim. brought dispatches from
Port Arthur, 1t clearly. in the British
View. violated the neutrality Of China
and thereby gave an excuse for the
Japanese action.
Inquiries have been made by the
British government In regard to the at.
Iitude II the United States with Chi
nese neutrality and the American gov
eminent will likewise obtain informa-
ton regarding the policy Great Britain
proposes to pursue. AS both powers
desire the preservation Of the neutral
ity Of the Chinese mplre the British
officials expect that they will take in
dependent action along Identical lines
to obtain respect for the principle OF
neutrality.
Russia. 1t is state. Is not willing to
aid Japan to obtain supplies for the
subsistence of its army or navy. Ger
many IS not disposed to recognize a
principle which would mean such a
great increase IN the fighting power OF
the British isles, and France holds the
same view. The attitude of the United
States In the past has been such AS
TO warrant the belief hat Washington
Is prepared to &c to considerable Length
IN preserving the noncontraband
character OF foodstufs.
Regarding the Knight Commander
case the foreign office is informed that
1t will be presented to the admiraitv
~ at st. Petersburg for final appeal
within a month. In the meantime the
Two governments continue to amicably
discuss the question Of the disposition
Of the incident.
