BRITISH AND JAPS MAY CTIN CHINA Propose Dual Mediation, AN , though Powers Had An oiher Plan. London Considerable curiosity has boon arouted In diplomatic circle here regarding the reason (or the proposal of Great Rrttain and Japan to undertake a dual mediation In China, after the powers, Including the United States, had decided to present an Identical note to the con ference now meeting at Shanghai. There was a tendency to believe that the Japanese government had made the proposal and that Japan was anxious to Intervene. !t turns out now. however, that the proposal really came from the British govern ment, acting on the belief that the British consul at Hankow, who had Induced the combatants to agree to an armistice, might again succeed , as a mediator In the larger question. It is understood that the state de partment is making Inquiries both in Japan and Great Britain In regard to the proposed British-Japanese media tion. The reiterated report that the Brit- Uh-Japaaese mediation contemplated Insistence upon the monarchical gov- tument is officially denied. It was said at the foreign office that the efforts of the British government. In conjunction with the other powers, were directed to assisting China to secure an efficient form of govern ment based on popular approval. Italy It Willing to Pay. Some. The limitation of the war to Tripolltan territory and. the ab sence of any naval action on the part tt Italy makes the conclusion of peace less urgent, as the interests of the other powers are not so severely affected aa at the beginning of hos tilities. As peace with Turkey would facilitate matters and curtail ex penses, Italy, It is understood, still is ready to pay the Porte a consider able amount on account of Tripoli.

That Yuan also will refuse to ac cept the proffered presidency of the proposed republic is considered cer tain, even by those who believe he is a self-seeker. It is said on reliable authority that the premier is able to continue the government for several weeks, perhaps months, without a foreign loan. Wife of "Cut-Rate" Mayor Helps. Indianapolis.

EXCLUDE AMERICAN GOODS Russia and Japan In League Against United States. St Petersburg. Intimation that the commercial treaty which Is being negotiated between Russia and Japan is to exclude all goods of American manufacture from Manchuria was made semiofficially here. It is said to be part of the tariff war which Russia Is preparing to wage against the United States In retaliation for the abrogation of the Russo-American treaty of 1832. The unwonted speed with which the negotiations are being carried on here and at Toklo in order to have the convention ratified within the j next fortnight if possible, indicates , that both nations are acting from a ' more important impetus than origin ally mutual consideration.
