ARE JAPANESE SEEKING
A QUARREL WITH CHINA?
They Are Preparing to Back Corea's
Claim to Disputed lsland
Province

Victoria, B. C.-Extensive military
preparations are being made by the
Japanese in Northern Corea, accord
ing to advices received by the steamer
Antilochus, with the object of the en-
forcing. of Corea's ownership Of Kan
d., the island province inclosed by the
headwaters of the Tumen and Yalu
rivers. Advices from Vladivostok say
that these preparations are causing
alarm there.
The Corean Daily News says: "The
existence of large garrisons in the
north, the frequent arrival of Japa-
nese troops on the east coast and Gen
eral Hazzewa's recent tour of inspec-
ton, all offer excuses for the fears
of the Vladiyostok people"
The News believes that the opera
tions indicate Japanese intention to
pick a quarrel with China
Weale, a well known writer on East
Asia politics, telegraphs to Shanghai
paper that the Vladivostok garrison
has been increased to twice that OF
Port Arthur. Regarding Manchuria he
says that Chinese authority should be
strengthened and settlements made
internationally; otherwise the growing
rivalry and animosity of the powers
will cause Manchuria to share Poland's
fate.

JAPAN NOT NEEDING MONEY
Government Has Over Two Hundred
Million Dollars on Deposit
in London

Tokio-In spite of the pessimistic
feelings ON the subject Of Japan's
financial conditions which prevail in
certain quarters by reason of Mr.. Ia
kahashi's mission to London, it is
stated on the best of authority that
Japan is not at present pressed for
funds or in great need Of money.
z Japan has deposit in London of
s260000,000, and it is confidently ex-
pected that the balance of trade at
the end of the year will be a favorable
one. Next years budget will be
framed so as to meet the expenditures
in excess of receipts, with the sur
plus of the war tax, amounting. 1T is
believed. to $50,000,000, and with the
surplus in the general account of $1O,-
900. .O00 Administration expenses will
also bee urtailed. Finally the sum
for prisoners expenses due from Rus
sia will amount to at least $17,5OO,0O0.
There will be necessity for fresh
loan or for increased taxation.

Of whom were engaged in the trouble
at Brownsville, Texas. They. come
mostly from the north and include
many persons who served as officers
and privates during the civil war and
who have served with negro troops.
1t is expected that as a result of the
criticisms of the president which have
been made a resolution will be intro
duced in congress calling for all the
information in the war department,
together with the presidents action in
the case.
Meanwhile any further statement
from the president on the subject is
said at the White House to be un-
likely.

MILLER ASKED TO EXPLAIN
Disclaimer Desired From the Consul
General

Washington-Henry R. Miller, Uni
ted States consul general at Yokoha-
ma will be given an opportunity by
the state department to affirm or deny
a published interview, in which he is
quoted as saying that the Japanese
are Organizing their army and navy to
fight the United States.
A clipping of the alleged interview
has been forwarded to Mr.. Miller and
the statement is made that If he de-
nies it his answer will be accepted
by the state department as conclusive.

CHINA FOR THE CHINESE
Will Build Her Own Railroads.&c.
Foreign Concessions to
Be Recovered

Hong Kong-There have been sew
several important changes among the
high officials in China recently. That
which most interests the people of
the United States is the appointment
of Wang Tah1sich, now minister in
London, as the head of the foreign
Office in the place of Tong Shou-yi,
who has been transferred to the head
of the newly created bureau of COM
munications, which has jurisdiction
over railways, telegraphs, telephones
and steamship lines. Mr. Tong, while
not anti-foreign in disposition, is the
recognized leader of the "China for
the Chinese" party, and since he has
been at the head of the foreign office
has asserted his convictions as well as
his individuality in manner that has
caused the members of the diplomatic
corps to sit up and open their eyes,
He is perhaps the most aggressive,
impetuous, uncompromising and indie
pendent of all public men in China,
and loves a ''scrap" as much as any
Irishman. Mr.. Tong did not please
the diplomatic corps by his attitude
during the boycott. Mr.. Rockhill, our
minister, was very much dissatisfied
with his independence He took the
liberty to tell the envoy of the United
States that if the Americans were not
willing to receive the Chinese in their
country, they ought not to complain
if the Chinese refused to buy Ameri-
can goods, for what was sauce for the
goose was usually considered sauce
for the gander.
Mr.. Tong does not know anything
about railroads, telegraphs or steam
ships, but that is not considered essen
tial in China. He has under him in
the bureau of communications several
transportation experts, who look after
the details while he directs the gen
eral policy Of the government, which
is to grant no more concessions to
foreigners and recover as many as
possible of those that have already
been granted Hereafter the Chinese
will build their own railroads; they
will develop their own mines; they
will establish their own industries,
and will do all of their own business
as far as possible. There are several
new railway projects and they will be
carried out by the Chinese them
selves with local capital so far as it
can be furnished, under their own con-
troll and for their own advantage. The
future policy is "China for the Chi
nese." 1t is expected that they will
make many mistakes, but the expert
ence will be valuable and national
pride and patriotism will be gratified.

MILLION ACRES FOR
THE SALVATION ARMY
Land is in South Africa and is Offered
Free for the Purposes of
Colonization

London-A report was current today
that the British South African COM
pany had offered to give the Salvation
Army a million acres of land in Rho
desia for colonization purposes, with
the stipulation that if the colonization
scheme failed the land should revert
back to the company.
General Booth admits that there is
certain amount of truth in the
rumor, but says the plan has been pre-
maturely disclosed, for it may fall
through.
