London, Feb. 29. England more than
America has cause to complain of Ja
pan's restrictive control of Manchur,
Is the opinion here. Not only has the
foreign trade of the country been mo
nopolized by Japan, but the nominal
sovereignty of China Is not, permitted
even to extend to railway construction.
Japan's object in the t freemen t with
China in regard to Manchuria, which
was made in 1906. has lust been mads
plain.
China at that time agreed not to con
struct any main line which should enter
into competition with the South Man
churian railway or any branch which
should divert traffic from it prior to
her recovery of that railroad, 16 years
hence. Japan has now used this agree
ment to veto any railroad In Man
churia. The Chinese Imperial railway
from Pekln to Manchurfa, now ends at
Hslnmlntung, 35 miles west of Muk
den, i
This is of much importance, as these
lines are linked up and a branch has
been constructed to the Important city
of Kakumen, 50 miles distant.
The Chinese government recently gave
a contract for this work to a British
firm of contractors, wno have just
been notified that Japan has forbidden
the construction of the road. The Brit
ish foreign office has taken up the mat
ter, but tnus rar seems to think that
Japan Is the sole judge of what inter

London. "Feb. 19. An unusual scene
was provoked in the house of com
mons in the course of a deftate on a
motion Introduced by Hilalre Belloo,
liberal member for South Salford, re
garding the secret administration or
party funds.
Mr. Belloc said he had no charges of
maladministration nor startling revela
tions to make. He didn't say that evils
even existed, but he expressed fear that
some might arise, and in order to avoid
dangerous possibilities he proposed that
the party funds be publicly audited.
Another liberal, Hugh' C. Lea. who
seconded Belloc's motion, contended
that the practice of conferring peerages
ana oiner uonors on tnose wno naa con
tributed to the party funds was essen
tlally wrong. He remarked that some
months ago a sensation had been cre
ated by a vehement attack upon the
government for what was called its
traffic Jn peerages and other honors.,
11 was a matter 01 common Knowledge
and gossip in the house of commons,
he said, that the title and decoration
In vogue were a lacking in dignity,
prestige, and moral worth aa were the
methods by which they were obtained.
and were just as loathsome, corrupt,
and nauseous.
'Putting aside the Garter Order and
other tomfoolery of that sort," con
tinued Mr. Lea, the present govern
ment has made twenty peers, thirty
three barons, and ninety-five knights,
of whom thirty-seven were members of
the house of commons."
Mr. Lea gravely advanced the theory
that this high percentage suggested the
Idea that some of the memoers entered
the house with a view 16 social ad-
vancement. Nobody expressed any j
douot or tne accuracy 01 tnis view, out
Mr. Lea considered lt useful to suppor
his contention by a story that had come
within his personal experience.
He was, he said, a member of
commons committee, the chairman of
which had been made a knight. One
of his colleagues refused to. congratu
late the recipient, remarking that
was a matter of commiseration rather
than -for congratulation.
t "Imagine the knight a feelings," ex
Claimed Mr. Lea. "when eight months
later the man who struck the jarring
note was himself made a knight."
The house made merry over the story(
snd sn Irish member. Swift MacNelll.
added to the Jocularity by saying that
he considered mat peers sna peerages
were like faith the substance of things

year ago, there was a market for peer
age Just as certain as there was a
market for pigs. Personally, he would
have a tariff for titles and would duoli-

Mr. Le,a'g anecdote, however, was too
personal not to provoke a response.
Everybody knew that he referred to Sir
William Randal Creamer, as he 1 the
member lor Haggerston, to whom Mr.
Lea had specifically referred in a com
munication ho made to a newspaper last
