That portion of the project relating TO

Reports received from China show there
Is much native agitation against foreign

not confined to the ignorant classes. II
includes Chinese capitalists who are in

These have combined with the POrtu-

the japanese minister, had a long talk
with Mr.. LOOMS. the acting secretary
of state. today about the Chinese neu-
trality and Russia's circular note to the
powers on the subject.
So far as the press dispatches show
there are alleged instances specified in
the latest Russian note of violation by
China of neutrality that have not been
mentioned in previous notes on the
subject and replied to by Japan.
Whether the Japanese government will
see ut further to reply probably viii
not be determined until the official text
of the note has become generally
