PEKING, Feb. LIT is considered slRnif-
icant that the japanese here are anxious
to direct attention TO the British invest
ment OF the disputed Yun-Nan border,
which is due to the procrastlnating tactics
OF the Chinese in negotiating a settlement
OF a long-standing dispute. This Anglo
Chinese dispute arose from the failure 10
deiiminate properly 200 miles OF the Burmah-
Yun-Nan frontier and the consequent
troubles with marauding tribes. which led
to the dispatch Of a British force under
orders 20 remain until the ILLUMINATION was
completed
The suspicion of a Russo-Japanese con-
cert is still strong and Japanese action is
looked for at the ausplcious 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 Russia and
the consensus OF opinion in the legation
quarter is that the Chinese government. in
stead OF advancing in recent years, has
steadily become more and more incapable
1t Is declared that It is almost impossible
for the legations 20 obtain action on any
question. They instance the delay IN the
American loan. Among the government
officials the talk is endless and little prog
ress is made Both the friends and foes OF
China see hopelessness in the situation and
ridicule the idea OF China defying Russia
Some OF them hope for American or other
interference.
