CHINESE AROUSED BY
JAPANESE INVASION
NiPponese Occupy Islands and
Boycott Is Revived

HONGKONG, March 1s-The Chi
nese residents Of this city have entered
upon a revival OF the boycott against
japanese goods and are showing in
tense feeling against the japanese be-
cause OF the fact that the latter are
gradually occupying Pratas island, a
reef in the China sea about midway
between this port and the Philippine
group. and are working the deposits
Of guano, which, it is claimed, are
richer than those along the coast of
Peru.
IT is also reported that the japanese
are invading Paracels islands. $50 miles
east OF AMMAN in the China sea, and
two cruisers Of the Chinese navy are
now here being made ready for a visit
TO that group.
Feeling over this so called invasion
OF Chinese rights by the japanese has
run so high that the viceroy at Canton
has prohibited the press OF that city
from commenting on it in the fear
that inhammatory articles might in
cite an outbreak against the japanese
living there

dodge the vote this afternoon. A. P.

the bill with amendments, was not in

been disposed of.
J. n. o. Rech said that the land ring

that their clients could file claims be-

which is of the utmost Importance to

company now rests with Governor Gill

bill allowing a public corporation six
months time In which to pay for prop

ent.
This bill adds to the code provision
governing the exercise of the right of
eminent domain the following words:
'In case the plaintiff is the state of
California or is a public corporation.
and it appears by affidavit that bonds of
said state or public corporation must be
issued and sold in order to provide the
money necessary to pay the sum as
sessed, then such sum may be paid at
any time within six months from the
date of such Judgment; provided fur
ther, that If the sale of any such bonds
can not be had by reason of litigation
affecting the validity thereof, then the
time during which such litigation is
pending shall not be considered part
of the six months time in which such
payment must be made"
The obstacle to the condemnation of
the Spring Valley properties by the
city has been the impossibility of pro-
viding the money within a month. With
six months time, bonds could be voted
and sold. Hence the acquisition of a
municipal water supply will be greatly
