JAPS and CHINESE
HOLD CONFERENCE
TBY LEASED WIRE.1

TOXIC, March Ga series Of con-
ferences of great Importance as to the
further relations of China and Japan
opened here today. A special repre-
sentative of President Yuan Shi Kai
of China, arrived here last night with
DR.. Ariga, the Japanese legal advisor
Of the Chinese government, and the
two were received this afternoon by
Count Okuma, the Japanese premier.
Great secrecy as to the purpose of
the special envoy Of China was main
tanned by Japanese officials, but it was
stated that this afternoons meeting
was only Of preliminary nature and
that the real issue would not be taken
up until later.
The conferences here were made
necessary by the diplomatic deadlock
that resulted in the negotiations at
Pekin over the proposals made by ia
pan to China. Ambassador Hioki was
informed by the Chinese government
that it could not accept Tokio's plans,
but at the same time it offered to send
a special envoy to Japan to discuss the
proposals with Count Okuma. This Of
fer was accepted.
