Powers Are IrichdIy.
As explained IN the cable dispatches
OF the Associated Press the latest
communication from the powers WAS
entirely friendly and even soothing in

latng IN a sense To a Chinese inter-
nal question, were recognized BY the

There IL no expectation here that

ihronement as emperor Three or
four months is the time estimated
Indeed, the monarchy restoration is
sue Is regarded as more or less dead
and buried so far as the powers are
concerned unless serious outbreaks
should accompany the restoration.
What interests the powers more at
this time is the question of throwing
the influence Of China in with that
OF the entente allies. Now that ia

expected that conversations viii con-
tinue between the entente allies to
pat down the alleged German intri-
CUES in China which are declared to
be directed towards fomentlng diff
cultes Ia India. Afghanlstan and
French China.
The suggestion coming from China
that japan should deport Chinese
refugees including sun Vat Sen has
caused n widespread discussion of the !
subject here and general denial
that Japan IL trying by the presence |
Of the refugees to further Japanese |
in china. Sun Vat Sen is
living quietly in Toxic. He declines |
to say anything for publication but is /
accredited generally with the desire
TO fomeut revolutionary movement /
against Yuan Shi-kai. He is frequent
~ in consultation with fellow Chinese
and lives the life of man whose

The most representative eNplana-
lon Of the Japanese viewpoint is fur
lished by the Japan Times which Is
)ften officially inspired in It's articles
lealing with foreign relations. This
'iewpoint is that lust rs il has been

rot to restrict the liberty Of those

'hargcs or indeed of anything short

i base Of operations against China.

The newspaper continues by saying
