JAPAN'S PATIENT WAIT,
In the meantime, the attitude of the Chinese Government has been altered, suggesting to the Imperial Government of Japan that is desired to pave the way for negotiations concerning this question. In particular before Mr. Obata returned home on leave in May of the present year, Dr. W. W. Yen, pressed his earnest desire to receive from the Japanese Government such concrete proposals, as would be regarded by the Powers as fair and reasonable.

A telegram from the American Consul- General, dated October 4th, said that. the reports that had appeared in the Chinese Press regarding an American "the Carton Government were loan to untrue.

CHINA'S INBINCERITY.
Further, with regard to the assertion relating to the Shantang Railway: while the Imperial Government appreciates China's desire completely to regain con- trol over the whole length of the Rail- way in question and to receive half of the value of the Railway, leaving the other half as it is for the present, the Imperial Government, no matter what In spite of this, and quite contrary to form is adopted, has no desire whatever the expectations of the Imperial, Gov-to control the Railway single-handed, erument of Japan, the Chinese Goveru but at the same time cannot agree to the ment have made clear their intention of suggestion that the sole management of not opening direct negotiations with the Railway should be left in the hands Japan on the ground that the conditions of China, especially in view of the pre in question submitted by the Japanese sent condition of other railways under Government were not indicative of her management. In short Japan desires Japan's sincere desire for a solution of the achievement of good management of the question, a fact which the Japanese the Railway in name and fact in co- Government finds surprising.
