Washington, Oct 15.— American and
British capitalists have about completed
arrangements with the Chineeq govern
ment to bnlld n railroad from Chin
Chow Fu through Mongolian territory
to Tsitsihsr, a distance of about 400
miles. This fact seems to have dis
turbed the equanimity o f Japan.
Published reports from Pekin indi
cate that Japan has given China notice
that it will maintain its right under
the two treaties concluded last month
to bs consulted with respect to Man
ehnrian railways. Japan says it re
serves decision with regard to subse
quent setien.
Among officials here it is regarded as
doubtful if Japan w ill be permitted to
interfere, without objection, in this or
other enterprises in Chian or Man-
sharia to which Americans are inter
ested. The fact that an objection to
the construction o f tke proposed Chin
Chow Fu-Tsitsihsr road is hinted at by
Japan ia regarded here as tending to
rapport allegations o f monopolistic in
clinations o i the part o f Japan.
The proposed railroad through Mon
golia w ill be about 400 miles in length
to Tsitsihsr, and, if extended on the
Amur, its total length w ill approximate
600 miles. The feet that it w ill top the
Russian Trans-Siberian road at Tritai
her is thought to explain the suppoeed
uneasiaess of Japan, and, inasmuch as
the Chinese Eastern and 8onth Man
ehnrian line, because of its more direct
route and shorter distance to the south,
would be likely to become a strong
competitor to the latter road, whieh is
now controlled by Japan.
