Washing On. May 20.-From various
sources the attention OF the State De-
partment has cen t.fawn TO what IL re-
CARDS as the great hindlance TO foreign
trade with Manchuria caused BY the cir
culation Of the war notes issued by the
Japanese generals in the field during the
late war 70 the Chinese farmers, traders
and coolies who supplied either fodder
food transportation or labor for the
Japanese soldiers. Like notes we're
issued during the Civil War by Union
commanders in cases of necessity, ana
they were redeemed by the national
/ government II is not doubted that II Is
/ the purpose Of the Japanese government
7 to also redeem It's notes, and, in fact, the
redemption is said to be in progress, but
I IN a manner which, it is claimed, IS giving
I great dissatisfaction 10 the foreign houses
I trading with Manchuria
lhe charge is made in some com
Y plants that have reached Washington
/ that discrimination is practiced to the
great detriment OF our trade in that quar-
ter. It is true, however, that these
/ charges are not official, and all that
comes to the department on the subject
from its agents in China is the mere state
ment that the very circulation OF these
notes is injurious to American trade
A typical report is that from Consul
General Rodgers, al Shanghai dealing
with the reasons for the dimnution OF
trade in that quarter, who says that,
besides monopolizing the transportation
facilities. the presence Of the japanese IN
Manchuria has had a deterrent effect
through the circulation Of these war
notes. The Shanghai merchants viii
not accept this paper, which is dis
counted 20 per cent in payment OF
their goods, and the same situation pre-
walls in Nieuchwang, 50 that foreign
goods remain stored and unsold in the
warehouses. That IS the official side OF
the matter The unofficial reports say
that no less than 500O0.O00 of these
notes were issued by the Japanese and
that the Japanese officials refuse TO re-
deem them directly from the Chinese,
but ohlige the latter to buy japanese
goods with the notes and afterwards
redeem them when presented by japanese
either in coin or new paper notes issued
by the State bank
The Japanese government, through
the embassy in Washington, has ener-
getically denied that any discrimination
against foreigners is practiced and has
asserted that the war notes are redeem
able at par, but there has been no diminu-
tion in the complaints on this score, and
some time must pass in all probability
before the foreign traders can recover
the ground that they have lost in Man
ehuria through The circulation Of this
currency

~AIexander's Palace

The palace of Alexander the Great
was an imposing structure In Its time.
and the wonde is that any vestige of
1t stands today. 1t was built in u man
ner much more substantial than that
of today. though advocates of steel
construction claim that the modern
structure will defy time as long as
any of those built by the ancients.
Time alone will determine how much
truth there is in this contention. On
the Asiatic plain are the massive rem
nants of an ancient gateway fringed
with weeds, and. vaguely knowing who
he was, the natives tell that this is all
that is left of the palace Of Alexander.
