Monster Meeting Held.

Canton, March 10.-A monster
meeting was held here to resist the
demands of the Japanese government
for the releast of the Tatsu Maru.
The meeting was attended by a great
number of prominent personages who
vigorously asserted Chinas sovereign
rights. A resolution was adopted TO
the effect that, failing in the conhsca-
ton of the ship and her cargo, a boy
colt be inaugurated against the Jap
anese manufacturers.

Does Japan think she has tricked
Europe into an attitude that will rem
der Uncle Sam helpless to interfere
in the attempted partition of China?
We think the sending of that fleet to
the Pacific ocean is the greatest coup
of modern diplomacy, executed with
consummate skill. That one innocent
little practice trip will place the name
OF Theodore Roosevelt high among
those, who have played great part
In the worlds affairs.

The Trouble.

The attempt of the japanese TO
draw Portugal into the incident has
been met by the emphatic assertion
on the part OF the Chinese authorities
that the vessel was seized on the high
seas and that therefore there was no
violation Of the law governing Portu-
guese waters.
This statement has been sent to the
government officials at Lisbon to fore
stall any message or plea for assist
pnce which may be sent by the Jap
.anese.
Serious as the Tatsu incident IS, u
IS regarded here as merely the climax
OF a series Of offenses committed by
the japanese.
The real cause is attributed to the
desire Of the mlkado's government to
prevent Chinese from recovering full
sovereignty in Manchuria
The fomenting OF rebellion in Ger
tain Chinese districts. in which Chi
nese youths. educated In Japan. are
used as tools. and other repress.ve
measures are pointed out as proof Of
this plot.
/ Postal service one Cause.
The conduct of the postal service In
Manchuria Is regarded as one Of these
sinister moves Japan Is harassing
the imperial Chinese post by such
means as the following:
Japan refuses China certain postal
privileges on the South Manchurian
railways to which she Is entitled, has
broken open Chinese mail bags. SCI
cretly conGscated one mail bag and
contents. and conducts a parcels post
over her railways while refusing 10

time past that Japan was using her
department OF communications TO eN-
tend her authority in Manchuria. ia

who resides at Dalny. China has not
so far had the temerity to mention
her natural rights in Manchuria on
account of the menace which the Jap
anese government holds over her.
Russia Aid to Japan.
Russia has been party to Japan 4
success in her postal policy Shortly
after the Russian-Japanese war China
discovered that Japan and Russia had
madea secret compact by which the
imperial Chinese pogtoflice was eX-
Guided from the through mail traifc
between Europe and the east by way
of Siberia and Manchuria The mails
from Europe are received by the Jap
anese imperial postofIlce in the heart
of Manchuria and are delivered by the
same postoiiice to addresses In Chi
uese cities. Japan reciprocated Rus
sia's delivery OF European mails by
delivering all European bound mail to
her.
Russia and Japan based their rights
to this action on the grounds China
was not a member of the International
postal union. Then Japan submitted
a scheme by which she would not only
hold her present postal and other
communications in Manchuria, but
would obtain certain unfair privileges .
over the Chinese imperial railway in
and China proper.
To these and other high handed
China has objected siren o
uously, but the open breach did not
come until the Tatsu incident, which f,
is regarded as the final straw by high
Chinese officials.
