America, In View of Brotherly At

Formal Protest to the Mikado. .
Washington, Feb. 25. In a special
dispatch Walter Wellman, the famous
correspondent, declared that the Unit
ed States will Issue formal protest to
Japan' In relation to the latter gov
ernment's attitude In Manchuria, In a
few weeks.
America's attitude will be regarded
as sensational in governmental cir
cles all over the world, but will be
logical only In view of the American
policy since the famous circular not
sent out by Secretary of State Hay In
1899, In which the United States took
up a leadership among the nations to
preserve the entity of China. ' ' ,
Recently the Chinese government
has made representations to the fed
eral government In relation to the be
havior of Japan In Manchuria. 'Jt
Stipulations of the Portsmouth trea
ty between Rusola. and Japan In re.
latlon to Manchuria, has been gross
ly violated by Japan. Usurpation of
municipal government by Japanese In
many cities, and the taking over of
uJlegniph lines, railroads and contin
ued presence of large armed forces
has greatly Incensed the Chinese. Ths
latter will hold a conference of gov
ernors from three Manchurlan prov
inces In Mukden, next week, to devise
plans ot repelling the Japanese and to
prevent further aggressions.
