CHINA ON HER DIGNITY.
Refuses To Be Any Longer Bulldozed
BY Japan.

Mukden (By Cable) For two
months the persistent demands of
Japanese for concessions of forests,
mines, land, salthouses and other
things desired have been stubbornly
refused by the Chinese viceroy and
governor. In consequence of his i'll
success the Japanese consul gener-
al has been transferred to another
point, the struggle in the meantime
being abandoned, though reprisals
are threatened.
The Chinese conducted the diff
cult negotiations with great ability,
indicating a restoration of self-con-
fidence and an intelligent perception
of political conditions, national rights
being recognized and defended with
out fear.
Great progress has been made in
all departments of the government
concerned in Manchuria. A strong
army of 10000 men is safeguarding
the future peace of the country.
The viceroy will soon leave on a
tour of inspection of the northern
provinces. The harvest is abundant
The Japanese population and COM
merce are increasing steadily and
other trade prospects are good.
