Pekin.-The Chinese government
on Friday handed in formal reply to
Japan's protest against the construc
ton of the Tsinmintun Fakumen
railroad. China asks Japan to deter.
mine and fix the distance, according
to usage elsewhere, at which she will
permit the existing line to be paral-
leled. and she places limit upon
Japan's right to oppose the construc-
ton of railroads In Manchuria on the
ground that they parallel and compete
with the Japanese controlled lines.
Baron Hayashi, the Japanese min.
lister, has handed in to the foreign
board the names of four Chinese mer-
chants who are officially promoting
the boycott movements against jap
anese goods. and he asks that they
be suppressed.
Acting upon advices received from
London, the British minister has in
structed the British consul general at
Canton to advise the Canton viceroy
to suppress the boycott
The foreign board has asked the as
sistance of the French minister to
China in the suppression of several
thousand rebels, who, according to a
telegram from the governor of Yunan
province, have captured the Laohu
pass, on the Tonking border, and who
possess French arms, and who have
been trained by Frenchmen.
