Correspondence of the Associated Press.
PEkING, October 2S.-Recent utter
ances of Baron Ishii, Japan's new min
lister of foreign affairs. concerning the
unsettled conditions in China and the
repeated statements of Japanese news
papers about the necessity for the
preservation of peace in China, have
caused much uneasiness and apprehen-
sion in Peking.
Repeated rumors that" Japan has re-
vived the demands made under GROUP
Y and its ultimatum of May Z add to
the general unrest in China and af-
ford food for the campaign which is
being waged by opponents of the mon
archical movement.
In recent article the Toxic Daily
Yamato states that Baron Ishii will
have a far better defined foreign policy
than his predecessor. and is expected
to improve the foreign relations with
Japan by some striking diplomatic

Fears for China's Future.

Commenting on this, the Peking Ca
zette says:
IF strokes more striking than those
delivered by Mr.. Hioki at the COM
mand of Baron kato, and which yield
ed the brigand harvest of the Japanese
demands, are expected, then God help
the coming empire in China.
The demands made by Japan under
group v all of which are now held IN
abeyance, are the dread of all Chinese
Constant references are made 10 them
as well as those printed in English
Under this group there are seven ar
ticies. The first provides that the Chl-
nese government shall employ IN
liticaI, financial and military affairs.
Article empowers Japanese hospitals,
churches and schools to own land IN
the interior of China. Under the third
article. Japan seeks joint adfnlnlstIa-
tfon with the Chinese of the police de-
partment in important Chinese cttieA
War Munitions From Japan.
The fourth article stipulatesi that
China shall buy at least so per cent OF
its munitions of war from Japan, and
shall employ Japanese technical ex-
perts in an arsenal operated jointly in
China by Chinese and Japanese. The
fifth article demands the right to con-
struct important railways in the Yang
tse valley. Article + stipulates that
when China needs foreign capital to
develop public works in the province
of Fukien, Japan shall first be con-
suited. The concluding article demands
that Japanese subjects snail nave the
right of missionary propaganda IN
China.
President Yuan Shi-kai and his ad
visers protested vigorously against this
group, which will be remembered as
the group which was kept secret Tor
some time, declaring that these de-
mands were not proper subjects Tor
international negotiations, conflicting,
as they did, with the sovereign rights
of China, the treaty rights of other
powers and the principle of equal op-
portunity."
Supporters of the republican form of
government are frank in their charge
that President Yuan Shi-kai is putting
China clearly at the mercy of Japan
by risking the change to monarchy
at a time when the world powers are
engaged in a struggle which Will make
foreign interference in far eastern
politics unlikely.

 It is expected that the report of the commission also will show that the richer agricultural regions Of the Tan ana can be reached sooner and cheaper by building up the Copper and down the Tanana than in any other way.
 From facts which have leaked out it ie believed that the report on the agri- cultural resources of the susitna val ley to be contained in the report of the Alaskan engineering commission. will not be nattering.
 The full report is rapidly taking form. Before it is quite finished there will be another conference at the White House when the whole situation will be gone over again with the presi- dent and then the document will be sent to the printer Even after that no speedy announcement may be ex- pected as to the executive decision. Meantime the engineering commis- sion, in a body and individually, is hay ing many conferences with Secretary Lane. He has absorbed a vast amount of the information on the whole sub ject and can talk as glbly as any Alaska engineer on tonnage. grades. ecentricities of glaciers and the like.

SIX WEEKS MORE
 OF WINTER WEATHER

Today is "Groundhog" Day. Ac. cording to tradition, the groundhog comes out of his hole today, after his winter hybernating, to size up the weather conditions. If he sees his shadow, that Is if the sun is shining, he at once returns to his nap, for that means six weeks more of win ter. If, on the contrary, it is cloudy, and he sees no shadow, the winter is broken, and he begins preparations for the coming summer. The sun is shining today, therefore we may ex- pect six weeks more of winter.

SHIPMENT FROMMOTHER
 LODE

Yesterdays train from Chitina brought in five cars of ore from the Mother Lode Copper Mines Co. prope- rty at Kennecott, aggregating 25O tons, which will go out on the Mari posa this afternoon. This is the second shipment made by the com pany during the month of January, making a total of 500 tons for the month As this ore is copper glance, averaging better than 70 per cent cop per, with some silver, the shipments for January are equivalent to 100000 pounds of pure copper, valued, at it's market figure of IA cents per pound, of 5000.
 The company at present has to sled it's ore from the mine to Mccarthy, and has several teams employed in the work. During the past summer a large amount of ore was taken out during the work of development, and shipments will continue as long as there is snow enough to permit of sledding. It is estimated that several thousand tons of ore will be sent to the smelter this season, which will yield a handsome revenue.
 This property is one of the big mines of the territory, ranking with the world famous Bonanza, of the same district, which is reported to be the richest in the world.

 Six months operation, it is calulat ed, would haul out a lot of Matanuska coal.
 Moreover, the work would not be dead work in any event. Every mile of it would be used when the Susitina trunk line Is built, whether that trunk starts from Seward or Portage bay.
 The second possible activity is con structtion work on the Portage bay terminal.
 Tonnage on cordova Road.
 To return to the more eastern sys- lem; no one here seems to entertain any thought that the Copper River & Northwestern will not be acquired in some manner.
 For one thing, stress is being laid on the tonnage possibilities of that | road. it being argued that better op. eration and an extension of that line will do more to promote the speedy in- dustrial and mining development of the territory than could be scured any.

ashamed of? That they can do so just because there is lack of moral public opinion to hold them back? Cordova is not bad place, but things are done here in the open that are done under the rose in other com. munities. Some seem to think every thing is all right so long as 1t don't interfere with buslness.'
 No matter how much money is spent here, usless it ministers more to spiritual needs and values, little permanent good will be accomplished, he belives.
 The speaker suggested that more good would result if more thought was given to the future of the city and territory than to the present. Some day this is going to be the best land in the nation, but how soon depends on the men and women of Alaska.

Lack of moral public opinion is one of the ailments of Cordova, if a correct dignosis of the case was made by Rev. Jas. Mcbride yesterday, in the first of his series of three sermons on What Is the Matter With Cordova?" This subdivision of the subject he labeled Symptoms.
 What Is there here to show for the twenty millions spent along the line of the Copper River & Northwestern railway? What of civilization and comfort" he asked, "A few came, made their stakes and went away"
 The speaker insisted that there had been a lack of spiritual valuation in the building of the road and the town and while he was not here during the first construction, he hopes to aid in the reconstruction and in making Cordova and Alaska better places in which women and children as well as men live. Placing his fingers on the public pulse, figuratively speaking, and leaving the congregation to say if his diagnosis was correct, he asked:
 "Is it true that some men say and do and get away with things you are
