JAPAN WILL LEND AID.
BIikado's Dominion TO Assist Chin
ChOw-Aigun Railway.

Toxic, March 1S.-Japan has agreed
tentatively to give her moral support,
if not actually to take financial interest
in the proposed Chin Chow-Aigun rail-
way, in which American capitalists are
Interested. Japanese capitalists, such
as members of the Mitsut family and
the bankers of Toxic, do not believe
the line will be constructed for many
years to come In fact, in japan it is
not thought that Russia Will consent
to the building to Aigun, at least until
more progress has been made with the
projected line north Of the Amur river
The country through which the pro-
5ected line passes is not as yet given
promise of any very large amount of
business. 1t is. thought likely that
there are some rather good mining
properties to be developed, but the
more astute business men in the coun-
try look very much askance at the
proposition of a railroad line controlled
by six or seven syndicates of capital
representing six or seven nationalities-
1t is pointed out that, if each country
interested could secure a mining or
other concession which would be of
equal value with that secured by his

she made an eloquent plea but County
Attorney Schenck, called to give the

of an assistant who informed him that
Delk had no case against Yarbrough,
