PEKIN, Sept. 16.-An edict is
sued yesterday orders a large force
of government troops to go to SEE
Chuen province Immediately. All
efforts have been made to hasten
the troop trains. Several arrests

vice president of the Sze Chuen pro-
vincial assembly. The latter was
arrested at Hankcw, whittier it is
believed he journeyed with the in
tention of raising disturbances
there.
The situation is generally regard
ed as serious, however but the un-

OFFICIAL Circle
Reported Speech at Panama
Is Sensation When 1t
Reaches Washington.

Admiral Yashiro, commander of the
Japanese training squadron that pass
ed through this port on a visit to the
mainland some time ago and which
will shortly return, seems to have
stirred official circles in Washington
by a speech made while the squadron
was at Panama. The following spe-
cial dispatch from Washington ap-
pears in a San Francisco paper just
received here:
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-Serious
breach of international courtesy in
formally is charged against Admiral
Yashido, the Japanese naval officer
who in a speech at Panama criticized
President Tafts policy in recommend
ing fortification of the Panama ca
nal.
The Yashiro incident today dis
placed the last drop of blood" speech
of Commander Sims as sensation in
official circles. To say that the Of
ficials of the state department are
surprised by the criticisms of Ad-
miral Yashiro is to put the matter
mildly. They simply are waiting,
however, to see what action will be
taken by Japan
Commander Sims utterances COM
pared with Yashiros are considered
deft bit of diplomatic oratory.
Just at this time, when the presi-
dent has made it clear that he wants
the canal fortified, the speech of va
shire, as reported, is considered sin
gularly discourteous.
1t is the opinion of military officials,
expressed informally, that unless
Japan takes immediate steps to as
certain whether Admiral Yashiro was
quoted correctly in the reports that
have been sent to Washington and
then takes action, the incident is
bound to become a subject of diplo-
matte inquiry.
There is no intention at this time
to ask Japan if it intends to permit it's
naval officers to criticise the military
plans or operations of other nations,
but the state department is waiting to
see what Japan itself will do

The chief amendment was one in

designed to encourage the establish
ment of independent steamship lines.
The amendment asks the presidnt
to fix the freight and passenger
charges for using the canal. but
freight charges must not be less than
30 cents nor more than $3.50 ton.
1t is provided also that no charges
shall be paid for vessels in ballast
nor for vessels owned or operated for
Or on account of the United States
government nor for merchant vessels
of the United States engaged in the
coastwise trade of this country.
A proviso is added however, that
the exemptions shall not apply to any
vessel in coastwise trade which is
owned in whole or in part, or which
is controlled directly or indirectly by
any railroad company.
The proviso refers especially to
such railroad companies as seek 20
