Negotiations were still proceeding when, quite unexpectedly on the 21st of this moon (Friday, the 6th August), the Japanoso Minister sent a communication to the Waiwnpn charging China with procrastination and declaring that Japan would forthwith com mence the work without Chinose co-operation.

In view of the situation set up by the matters treated of in the foregoing, and particularly regarding the extension of Japanese military control in Manchuris, we have been compelled to lay partienlar emphasis on the question of military protection of the railway and the_con- stitution of the police force.
