Account of Negotiations
An official account Of the communica-
tiors recently made by the japanese
british and Russian diplomatic repre-,
.sntstives to the Chinese Minister OF
Foreign Affairs has just reached
Washington. The account follows:
"TLe representatives OF Great
Rritaip. Japan and Russia made sep
arat4 representations 20 the Chinese
Foreign Minister. pointing out that the
snstion Of q monarchy might lead
~ disorders. owing 10 the strong re
nubIicsn party in China. They said
hat n disorders occurred foreign in
,srssts would inevitably suffer. espe-

stead OF averting trouble, would cause
the very disturbances which the
friends Of China so strongly depre-
Gated.
Diplomatic representatives OF the
allied powers here openly ascribe the
rapid development Of the monarchial
government in China TO German activl-
ties. on the theory that the disorders
likely to follow in China will require
Japanese Intervention and consequent
ly suspend Japan's supply OF arms and
munitions 10 the Russians.
It is pointed out, however. that an
other strong and characteristicaIly Orr
entail factor is involved. This is said
70 be the absolute necessity OF the
Chinese mind for spiritual aid in ma
,erial development. For centuries II
has been the custom of the Chinese
Emperor 10 repair annually to a specia
temple. dedicated for that purpose IN
Peking. 10 offer prayers 70 the three
