JAPAN AND CHINA.

JAPANESE FIRM BUT FRIENDLY.

Chinese Yielding, With Modifications."

(Our Own Correspondent)..

March 28, 10 40 p.m. Oar Shanghai correspondent wires us that, in face of the firm though friendly attitude of the Japanese, the Chinese are gradually conceding what has been demanded, with modifications.

The Chinese have agreed to Japan's selecting and operating nine mining areas in South Manchuria.

The Situation in the North.

Locally, says our correspondent, the police and the Chinese authorities are preventing excesses, Numerous meetings are being held nevertheless, and a boycott is operating.

The general impression where the Chiness themsolven ars concerned is that, because they are impotent in this connection, the probable effect of the demands will be the initiation of a strong practical patriotism în China.
