confirmation tonight OF the resignation
OF the North China Cabinet, as reported
in Pekin press dispatches received to-
day. They are of the opinion that. IL
the report is correct, the Cabinets resig-
nation is due TO the furor that has been
created all over China by the "conversa-
tions" which have been going on in
Washington between the Chinese and
Japanese delegations, outside OF the
armamcnts conference, for settlement OF
the Shantung question.
The resignation Of the Pekin Cabinet
may well have an important effect on
the Conversations now in progress In
washington. Several of the advisers OF
tho Chinese delegation have already re-
signed and there have been suggestions
that the delegation would withdraw as
a whole from the conference. or at least
break or the conversations"
The opinion here tonight was that
the resignation OF tho Pekin Cabinet
would delay satisfactory settlement
OF the Shantung problem.

sharp Contrast Noted.

No one will deny that the Shantung
Railway under Japanese management
has attained degree of efficiency un-
euuafed by any Chinese managed line.
Even n casual traveller cannot fall to no-
tice refreshing change when he leaves
a Chinese train and takes Il Japanese
train IN Shantung or in Manchuria. I
havo on my desk a recent Issue of the
central China Post, an English news
paper published by a Britisher, contain
ing an editorial objeoting for obvious
reasons to the transfer of the shantunr
Railway to Chinese management.
The Shantung Railway. though its
main line Is only 245 miles long, Is one
OF the principal arteries of trade. The
prosperity and even existence OF the
city OF Tsingtao Is dependent upon the
efficient management OF the railway
This commercial metropolis OF Shantung
has under the japanese regime made
a phenomenal progress. Under German
administration it had 10000 inhabi-
tants. To-day this population has in
creased 20 100000. OF whom about so.-
900 are Chinese, and 10000 Japanese.
The Japanese administration has ex-
pended s15.000.000 for public improve
ments. while somo 100000 has been
invested by Japanese firms in factories
nnd other business enterprises. Should
the Shantung Railway be managed hap
hazard and be liable 10 be seized arbi-
trarily by military chiefs the city Of
Tsingtao must suffer incalculable dam
age.
The value or the railway Is estimated
at 53.Oo0.000 gold marks by the repara-
tions committee To this must be added
some s1o.400,o00 gold. which has been
expended by tho Japanese for improve
ments. or tho last named sum more
than s3.0oo.oO0 was paid for American
materials
There are iron mines and two groups
Of coal fields along and appurtenant to
the railway. On those mines consider

Whether or not these mines are turned
over to China their output will un-
auestionably be purchased by Japanese

In spite of roseate official statements
eInanating from the Japanese and Chi
nese delegations there is reason to be-
lieve that Shantung conversations" per-
nit of no hasty optimism. 1t is yet
possible that the parley may come to a
successful end. In Difference to the good
Offices Of the American Government,
which have made these conversations
possible, both delegations will make the
utmost efforts TO arrive at an agreement,
but there exists a serious disagreement
on the most vital aspect of the Shantung
railway question.
The Chinese delegation has conducted
the negotiation with remarkable skill and
tact and has won almost every point.

but tho question of efficient and honest
management essential to a railway as 3
public carrier. Because the question in

delegates to discuss 1t without reserve.

Inemcient Administration.

To all who are familiar with the rail-
ways In China the administrative de-
moralization of the Chinese managed
lines is well known. Apart from occa-
sional arbitrary seizure of such lines by
military governors. their essential func.
tion as public highways is often made
difficult of fulfillment by reason Of uni
versal miscarriage of administration.
That this apprehension Is well founded
is fully proved by the following state
ment made in a New York magazine by
an American business man who has lived
In China for thirty years, several OF
which having been spent in Shantung:
THE real difficulty in the whole
scheme is that the Chinese officials
haven't the administrative honesty to
preserve their own interests. Take their
own railways, like the Tientsin-P -Pulxow
Railway. which runs through this same
Shantuns province from north to south.
What happens? The 'liken,' the inter-
provincial duties and squeezes. the MILL
tary usurpations of cars and materials,
the want OF honest administration, make
this road of practically little value to
the transfer Of merchandise.
This road traverses excellent coal
fields and has connections In the north
with Tientsin and In tho south with
Shanghai. An excellent coal mine.
which was operated for local uses before
the railway was built, finds Il impossible
TO market Its coal either In Shanghai or
Tientsin because OF the inefficient man
agement OF the Tientsn-fukow Railway.
There Is mine of excellent coal within
thirty miles of Tslnan, and within two
miles of the track OF the Tientsin- Pukow
Railway. and sixty miles nearer TO
Tsinanfu by the Tientsin- Pukow Rail-
pay than the Tnnupoya rt1fnac m tJ,n
Tsinanfu-Tsingtao Railway, and vet
Tsinanfu is supplied by the Japanese
mines. The reason why the Chefoo-
Tsananfu Railway is not built Is that all
concerned know that IL would ibe ridden
by horde of greedy parasites which
would sap the life OF It and make it Of
no effect"

Psychological Battle.

The Chinese want 20 pay the 55.-
100000 gold marks due Japan in cash
and to the Occidental mind the propo-
sition seems to be fair enough But
there is lot OF Japanese and Chinese
orientation involved In more respects
than one and these arc Of charac-
ter generally baffiing 70 Western reas-
oning. But they play u very important
part In Chinese and Japanese racial
psychology.
Delegates from other countries
standing along the side lines believe
an agreement will come out Of the
nnddIe with the suddenness that the
sun comes out OF China, as described
by Mr.. Kipling. Tentative agreements
have practically been reached on al
most every other phase OF tho Chinese
problem with tho exception of Man
churia and Siberia, There IS reason
TO believe japan will propose terms
Of settlement over the latter issue
that viii be regarded as satisfactory.

NEW YORK. Aug. 26.-Dun's tomorrow

"As the end of summer approaches.

strengthened and sentiment grows more
confident Nothing in the present situa-
ton suggests that sudden and general ac-
tiyity viii follow the recent slow and
irregular Improvement but a stronger
basis now exists for subsequent better
mont OF conditions. A general diminution
of prce uncertainties as markets become
more settled is a potent factor N certain
quarters and some relaxation of credit re-
strictions as monetary strains are mod
flied is also constructive influence.
Progress in trades that were quickest to
experience recovery from depression, as
in textiles, has met with no interruption
while some lines that have been laggards
in the movement, notably iron and steel
are beginning to participate moderately
in the current revival. After many months
of conspicuous dullness in various chan
