China Has Acceded

Peking. May 9-(2:15 a. m. .)-Chiua has acceded to the Japanese demands as finally modified. foregoing even the right to be heard. In order to make the Chinese reply acceptable to Ja- Ian the government yesterday kept secretaries to and from the Japarese legation. so that the legations wishes might be ascertained.
 At the beginning of the conference last January the Japanese legation vir- tually specified who should act as the Chinese plenipotentiaries. The Chinese acceptance of the dem&nds is now be- ing prepared under Japanese supervi- sion.
 When the Chinese government pre- sented the first draft of it's reply the Japanese plenipotentiaries objected to the lengthy explanation contained in Il. The Chinese then offered brief ilanlSet acceptance, but the Japanese again objected, requiring, instead. a categorical acceptance, including spe- cific undertaking for a future discus sion of the articles of group five This is the group that China declined to consider and the discussion of which with the exceptionaof the demand bear ing on Fukien province, Japan had sus- ended in her ultimatum.
 The Japanese ultimatum makes an important point of Japan's intention to restore Kiao- Chow to China. The ulti- 1natlim refers to the sacrifices made by Japan in the capture of Tsing Tau, but makes no mention of Great Britain s participation in this operation or of her ellys right to participate in the ad- publication.
 With the exception of an morgan ized boycott there has been no ncve- ment against the Japanese resident in Chira and there is no report of any attack on the Japanese.
 From Dalny comes word that 10,o9o Japanese refugees, with their belong ings, are arriving there. Hong Nong reports an exodus from Canton and ether places. Shanghai reports that the Japanese are crowding the settle- 1nent and that trade is at standstiil-
