ANTl-FoRElcN FEELING
American Interests Affected BY News
From Orient.

Washington, Sept. 12.-Mail ad-
vices received here from China are dis
quieting to Americans having financial
interests in the Orient. There is no
abatement of the anti-foreign feeling
and the animosity is no longer con-
fined to Americans, but includes all
foreigners except japanese.
A formidable party has arisen and
is conducting an active propaganda.
It is known as the '.restorer Of rights
and its purpose is to drive the foreign
ers out Of business in China and to
that end begin by rendering valueless
the foreign investments.
In some quarters the Chinese gov
ernment is alleged to sympathize with
the movement, and at any rate capi-
talists interested in important conoes-
sions are complaining that the Chinese
officials are deliberately destroying
their holdings and violating their
agreements at every turn.
More than any other nationality the
English are said to be injuriously
affected by this attitude Of the Chinese
government. The movement to de.
stroy or regain control OF concessions
held by foreigners is said to have been
begun when the famous Hankow-C Cam
ton. railway concession was regained
by the Chinese government by pur-
chase from the American concession
aires, and since then every new enter
prise in the weyeof public utilities in
China has been ofilcered and manned
by Chinese themselves, foreign expe-
rience and diection being utilized Only
to the point where the Chinese were
able to acquire the knowledge neces-
sary to operate them.
The English are complaining that
in violation Of an agreement, the Chi
nese government is constructing q
railroad from Shanghai southwark
with the deliberate puvpose. OF destroy
ing the value Of an English conces-
sion and greatly injuring Hongkong,
and there are allegations that mining
concessions granted, to British SUBJ
jects have been held up and the con-
ceesionaires embarrassed.
Some Of the great British business
interests are uniting in appeals to their
government to adopt stronger stti-
tude and protect them In their Chi.
nese enterprises.
