Toxic March 9.-The fates seem
almost resolved to embroil Japan
and China by fair means or foul. No
sooner does one diplomatic issue ap-
pear to be on the eve Of satisfactory
settlement than another one crops
up to prolong the agony and keep
the Toxic foreign Office and the Chi
nese foreign board more or less
busy A boundary dispute, the Tsin
Min Tun-Fakomen railway, the
North Manchurian customs and th~
telegraph questions-all these have
now ceased to excite much concern
in the minds of those who can see
below the surface of the political
current. but it seems as though the
Chinese themselves were determined
to furnish the Japanese opposition
with its strongest arguments in ia
vor of a more spirited policy toward
the middle kingdom, whose Chinese
warships seized a Japanese merchant
steamer-the Tatsu Maru--in Chi
nese waters, just outside of Macao
harbor, and escorted her to Canton
on the charge that she was engaged
in an attempt to smuggle arms and
ammunition into China. To add to
the irritation inseparable from such
course of action, the Chinese COM
mandeT hauled down the japanese
flag Ell route and ran up the Chinese
dragon ensign in its stead, The Jap
