CONTROL OF MANCHURIA.
J0pan'S Measures Nay ErcLude
Foreign Competition.

Vancouver, B. c.. June 19.-The steamer EN-
press OF China brought advices Of measures
adopted by the japanese to gain the Manchurian
and Corean trade. which will handicap foreign
merchants, If not prevent them from competing
with japanese exporters in Manchuria and
Corea. The programme includes the making of
Dalny a free port in the sense that import
duty will be rernitted on japanese goods for
Manchuria, though collected foreign goods
By means of bounties and a subsidy Japan will
encourage its merchants 10 flood Corea and
Manchuria with all kinds of goods at prices
with which the foreigners can hardly hope 10
compete. especially after the new customs tariff
comes into effect next October.
The Japan Times" of Toxic. gives the first
hint Of the protective measures planned. This
paper says a combination has been formed by
the largest cotton exporters in Japan. who will
work through the Mistui Company, and the gov
eminent has agreed TO guarantee a maximum
loan OF S3,tEgj.OtO The government will further
assist by bearing half Of the marine freightage
and remittng freight rates for one year on the
Japanese section of the Chinese Eastern Rail-
way in Manchuria
Similar arrangements will be made with other
corporations formed to ship beer, cement,
matches, marine products, timber and other
exports Of Japan.
Several japanese newspap apers point out that
these measures will make the foreign merchants
chances of competing with the japanese in Man
churia and Corea small indeed, and some papers
speak OF the arrangements likely to provoke
the animosity OF foreign powers.

brigands in Manchuria, has been captured by
