Only Japanese Now Have Good Will Of

Washington, Sept. 12.-Mail advices
from China are disquieting to Amer
leans having financial interests In the
Orient. There is no abatement of the
anti-foreign feeling and the animosity
Is no longer confined to Americans,
but includes all foreigners except
Japanese. A formidable party has
arisen and is conducting an active pro-
paganda 1t is known as "restorer of
rights" and its purpose is to drive the
foreigners out of business in China
and to that end to begin by rendering
valueless the foreign investments. In
some quarters the Chinese govern
ment is alleged to sympathize with the
movement; at any rate, capitalists in
complaining that the Chinese officials
are deliberately destroying their hold
ings and violating their agreements at
every turn.
More than any other nationality the
English are said to be injuriously af-
fected by this attitude of the Chinese
government. The English are COM
planning that in violation Of an agree
ment the Chinese government is con-
structing a railway from Shanghai
southwark with the deliberate purpose
of destroying the value Of an English
concession and greatly injuring Hong
kong and there are allegations that
mining concessions granted to British
subjects have been held up and the
concessionaires embarrassed.
