THE COLLINEY DISPUTI,
A Peking message to the Osalis Jiji states that recently the Chineso Government demand- ed from the Japanese Government that the Senkinssi colliery-on the Fachen mice olsim -and Bimeisen and one or two other adjoining collieries on the Yental mine claim-sbonld be Chinese anthorities. The restored to the kinan colliery was property of a Chinese Chinese Government maintained that the San- aured Wang, and was quite independent of the Fuona colliery worked by the Russiana. The Sonkinssi and Bimaisan mines were situated Japanese beyond the limit of 30 Chinese miles from the railway line, and, therefore, the Government had no claim on those minas. On May 12th, continues the message, Hayashi, the Japanese Minister at Peking, addressed the Beal reply to the Chinese demand. In substance it was to the effect that in place the Senkinssi was a part of the Fachar oolliery. A branch line of the Eastern Chineso Suebatun to Fooban reached the Sankiosai Railway constructed by the Russians from olliery which belonged to the Eastern Chinese Railway Company, and was being worked with the funds of the company.
