-Pekin, February 10: 1t is consid-
ed as significant that the japanese
here are anxious to direct attention TO
the British investment of the disputed
Yun-Nan border, which is due to the
procrastinating tactics of the Chinese
in negotiating a settlement OF long
standing disputes. This Anglo-Chl-
nese dispute arose from the failure to
delimitate properly 22O miles OF the
Burmah- -Yun-Nan frontier and the
consequent troubles with marauding
tribes, which led to the despatch OF
British force under orders to remain
until the delimitation was completed.
The suspicion of a RussU-Japanese
concert is still strong, and Japanese
action is looked for at the suspicious
moment. The officials of the British
legation, having had their patience
exhausted frequently of late, do not
sympathize with the Chinese in the
difficulty which has arisen with Rus
sia. and the consensus of opinion in
the legation quarter is that the Chi
nese government, instead of adVanc-
ing in recent years has steadily be-
come more and more incapable. 1t is
declared that it is almost impossible
for the legations to obtain action on
any question. They instance the delay
in the American loan. Among the
government officials the talk is end
less and little progress is made. Both
the friends and foes of China see
hopelesSnesS in the situation and rid
icule the idea of defying Russia. Some
of them hope for American or other
interference.
