CHINESE STUDENTS IN JAPAN
UNPOPULARITY OF STUDIES.
INTERNATIONAL SETTLE- MENT FOR ICHẲNG.
ANSOLUTION ADOPTED BY FOREIGN COMMUNITY,
As repentedly pointed out, there has been a marked decrease of ince years in the number of the Chinese students studying in Japan. An analysing the causes of this decrease, the athi refors | CHINESE Erst to the high cost,pf ving and next to the indifferent attitude which is taken cp by the Japanese generally towards such Chinese students. Prior to
the First Revolution in China, the Japanese journal says, a Chinese student in this country could live on Y.00 a year. The outbreak of the European war was followed by a steady rise in the price of commodities in this country, but this was to a great extent counter-balanced By the high value of silver. The sharp
MERCHANTS, FAVOURING THE SCHEME..
",,
Icnasa, July 7th, There has been much agitation amongst the Chiness of this port for the estab lishment of an International Settlement hore. The members of the foreign com munity are just as vitally interested in this movement, and so a public meeting was bold on the 5th instant, at which the following resolutions were unni- mously adopted :--
(It was agreed that a copy of this resolution should be sent to the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.)

munity expresses its deep sympathy with alarmingly high. As regards the cold the merchants and others who have and unsympathetic" attitude assumed by suffered. the Japanese towards the Chinese stud ents, it is a patent fact. Very often a Chinese stadrat, though living in Japan "for ten years or more, cannot gain an intimate friend among the Japanese.
This is ut so much because of the unsogial nature of the Chinese, says the Anh, as because the Japanese do not open their hearts to them, keeping them always at arm's legth. The Japanese and Chine students never mix together in cordial friendship in their schools, while outside the schools, the Chinese students are indifferently treated by the Japanese public, so long as there is money to be got from them. Their daily life is indeed a very uncomfortable and difficult on!. Most dormitories of the Japanese schools shut' their doors against them, while Japanese lodging houses make a point of charging exorbit ant rents, some houses actually refus ing to take them as lodgers. There is another vexatious factor in the shape of the police. Whenever meetings are hel by Chinese students, the police insist upon offering unwarranted interference, no matter how unharmful they may be Such an attitude on the part of the Japanese authorities and prople natural- ly hurts their pride and, susceptibilities | and, as this is suficient evidence to prove a good deal. They soon come to find their life in Japan unbearably unpless ant, and decide to go home. Their experiences in this country, wher related to their friends at home, have the natural effect of discouraging them in a desire to visit Japan in the prosecution of their stadies. The consequence is the present remarkable falling off in the number of the Chinese students, which wus, giveu us 3,680 in June-Japan

" TRADE KILLED BY MUTINY.
Steamers are now coming and going and going with very little cargo, as, the
trade.
Native merchants have been practically ruined. They say it is simply impossible for them to pay the accounts that are due to the compradores of the foreign firms, and for indirect losses there is no redress nor indemnity.
A child of Mr. and Mrs. Tujilin diediting and looting of the town has kill 40 Pri Tai Ho on the 4th inst. The remains were carried to Peking for burial in the Russian Cemetery. Bishop Innocent of the Russian Orthodox Mis- siog refused to bury the baby in the Russian cemetery, The beraved par ents' request to bury the baby them- selves was also rejected on the ground that Mr. Tujilin, formerly the Russian Consul at Sakhalin (Helampo), has now become a member of the Mission of Far Eastern Republic in Peking, and that children whose parents are working for Bolsheviks Are excommunicated from the church and have no claim to the fast Christian rites and to be laid in a Christian cemetery. Mr. Tujilin was thus obliged to apply to the local British Mission which consented to bury the child in the British churchyard. The priest said Children whosoever their parents may happen to be are angels to God."
The people are now becoming more settled but business has not been re sierl, and most of the shops are still closed, or half-closed. The Consular body has been doing everything possible to keep the town clear of passing troops, and has insisted on their being taken to villages beyond the tows. There have her rumours of looting from these villages, but they are only rumours. The officials are also showing some dešïre to search out some of the looters. A passer. by would have been struck on Monday by seeing a beheaded man lying on i vacant, piece of ground. On investigu. tion. it was learned that he had bren found, with loot in his possession, and, as he was a member of the bodyguard of the magistrate, he was taken out and bebeaded. The body was left exposed as
The Daitu correspondeut esiled on Mr. Tujilin who made the following state. ment with regard to Bishop Innocenta warning to all who saw it. of the Russian Orthodox Mission refus ing to bury his child at the Russian
cemetery:
"A few days ago my youngest son, Serguis (13 months old) died at Pei Tai Ho. As there was no foreign cemetery there the child was brought to Peking to be buried at the Russian cemetery in accordance with the rules of the Orthodox Church, the child being an Orthodox child. I had never thought that a cemetery could be a place for politics and that Bishop innocent would take revenge upon his political oppon enta by refusing to bury innocent child- ren. The mother and I took the coffin to the Orthodox Mission. Leaving the coffin at the gate, we applied to the secretary who kindly directed us to Archimandute Simon.
"Father Simon went to Bishop In- nocent to report the matter and came back with the Bishop's reply that the
