A Clash Between English Merchants and

Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires
Washington, May 26.-Eastern mails
bring news Of friction between the Eng
lish merchants and the Japanese officials
resulting from the difficulty experienced
by the former in obtaining access TO the
markets of Manohuria. IL is charged that
tho Japanese seized tho opportunity
afforded by their military occupancy of
the country TO concentrate al the trade
in the hands of their own merchants and
that not only is the country glutied with
goods brought in by the Japanese to a
point that makes Il practically impossible
TO find openings for European goods, but
through their control of the transporta-
tion routes in Manchuria and Corea tho
Japanese officials are able Co discriminate
against traders of other nationnlities.
In one place the Chinese complain that
tho japanese havo built q bridge across
one Of the principal streams SO low that
Il can no longer be used by the Chinese
boats, with the result that the traffic is
diverted entirely to the Japanese-owned
