Peking Received Feb. 23.

A meeting of representatives of five provinces has protested against the Han Yeh-ping and Standard Oil Loans.

NANTAO AFFAIR,

STARTLING DEVELOPMENTS DISCLOSED.

"Peking, Received Feb. 23.

The Shanghai Times gives the Chinese version of the Nantao affair. It states that when the shooting happened detectives bad found a Bitchel for which the Japanese struggled frantically. The satch I contained visiting cards with the names of two Japanese and notorious Chinese revolutionaries at present staying in Dairen also a warrant from a former well known rebel authorising the bearer to "collect money in Shanghai and throughout the provinco in

in aid of another revolution.

This document was brought down from Dairen by a rebel agent who sought out two Japanese with whom he had been connected in former plots. Their advice was to give up the idea of a revolution and use the documents to make money on their own account.

Dateoriven who had followed this rebel from Dairen made the arrests and did not know that the wounded men were Japanese till they were put in hospital.

The party thus were not innocent employees of the hotel bat blackmailers and freebooters.

A SHANGHAI COMMENT.

Commenting on the affair, the Shanghai Mercury saye the facts are now generally known with the exception of that which brings Great Bitain into the matter, namely, that the ship on board which the Japanese were shot was flying the Union Jack, being registered by a wellknown Settlement hong. She was the s.a. Sun-ning belonging to the Cheang Mow Steamship Uc., the agents for whom are Messrs A. R. Burkill and Sons. The matter has been re- ferred by the agents to Sir Everard Fraser, H.B.M.'s Con sal-General. The further facts not generally known are that the two Japanese, after being shot, were very badly treated by the parties who had committed the shooting, the bodies of the unfortunate men giving amplo evidence that they had boon badly kicked about and otherwise mal treated. The fact also that the ship was British registered makes the attack by the natives in the first place little else than an act of piracy unless they were armed with rroperly mado cut warrants a facts which has not yet been established-and it is understood to be this matter which has been referred to H.B.M.'s Consul- General here. Since the date of the shooting little or nothing further has boon published of the matter by the foreign press, in which respect the English papers have been far behind their native contemporaries. Many start- ling and even amusing details have since been gloaned and published by the Chinese penmen whose et arces of infor mation would appear to be at one and the same time alleg. edly semi-official and far from impeccable. To any event many of their insinuations are so extraordinary thit they, if coming from really authentic newspaper circles, nobly uphold the glorious traditions of the Oriental imagination. The least of these is the one now widely spread that the Japanese who were shot were deeply invalved in a huge plot against the Central Government. The first foreign version of the affair was that one of the Japanese was a hotel-runner engaged in trying to collect a debt for his mastara atatement which has since been amply substan- tialed and proved. We have the authority of the Japanese Consulate for saying that as regards the other victim of the assault his house and papera bave now been searched and nothing of any kind or description has been found which might in any way connect him with such a plan de has been suggested Beyond this point it is almost impossible to go just now.

The Chinese arrested on the boat at the time of the shooting are understood to be still in the custody of the native authorities awaiting trial and it will be interesting to hear of their farther progress. On the face of the other mattor however, it would appear that after all the one ex- kential point lies in the shooting of subjects of a foreign power in such a brutal, murder us, and illegal fashion as pas done at Nantao, the question of whether they were in touch with plotting of any kind being of entirely secon dary importance,
