Washington, Oct. Additional facts sbeddinr litrfat on the diplomatic aituatkm which led ep to toe negotis tka ef the treaty between China and Japan relating to the reconstruction of the Antong-Mukden railroad wen aa eured today from reliable sources. This information only tends to confirm the impression that the United States may be called upon to protest against a vio lation of the "open door" agreement in China and discredits the report that Charles R. Crane, of Chicago, too now minister to China, boa men recalled from San Francisco by Philander C. Knox, aecretary of state, primarily for Che purpose of receiving a reprimand for alleged indiscreet remarks in re spect to the relatione between China and the United States. Such talk at present merely beclouds What, in the opinion of those who know, fa a seriooa situation. As previously Indicated, tbs crisis In the diplomat is situation in China is not the outcome of any one act or cir eu instance. It is learned that aegotia tlona between China and Japan bad proceeded for some time under the watchful eye of the United States and other nations, previous to the signing of the treaty between China and Japan early in July. At the tints tba pact. was signed It la understood to have been the belief of the state depart ment, based on information from Min ister Rock hi II at pakin and from other sources, that toe question at issue be tween China and Japan would not bo definitely concluded for at leest two years. It is known that the Chinese foreign ofltae thought It would take throe years. Acting on this belief, Mr. Rockhill sailed for the United States on Juno 20, and Thomas J. O'Brien, United States ambassador te Japan, sailed from Yokohama on leave of absence on June 26. To the surpriaa of the stats department, the treaty between Japan and China relsting to the reconstruc tion of and concessions along the South Mancburiao and Antang-Mukden rail roads was signed early in Jury over the protest of China. Had this event beea expected, It is not believed ben that Mr. Rockhill would have left hie post at Pekia or that Mr. O'Brien would have returned noma at that time, particularly whan the agreement between China and Japan was believed even then to con tain some provision Inimical to tba 'open door" policy in the Orient. It is said that diplomatic bints to Japan that a violation of the "open door" policy was contemplated in the proposed treaty wen aaot with denials. It Is (now understood that this treaty gives an exclusive right to Chinees and Japanese only to exploit the mines on both sides of the South Manchorian and Antong-Mokdon railroad. Further more, it is said than ia no limitation as to how far either side of those rail roada those sxclusfvs rights shall ob tain. Ia either ease, such an agree meat la regarded la Washington aa a violation, io spirit at least, of both the Hay "open door 'policy and the Portsjmooth treaty. TAFT IN YOSfcMITE.

At the moot ing of the Association of Military Sur geons today, medical men ef the army urged that the medical corps control ita own transportation in time of war. Col. Valey Harvard, U. 8. A., said that during the Spanish-American war, tba medical service of the amy in Cuba was paralysed because Its sap plies won kept miles oat at sea and later wen dumped promiscuously along the shore. Such a thing would not have happened, be said, had the medical corps had charge of Ita own transportation. Another Instance of delay in trans portation was tba shipment of eon- denaad milk to the Philippine islands. The milk, the said,' was allowed to stand for days at the factory bsoaose of the fallen of another department to provide transportation. Sir Alfred Keeogb, director-general of the British army medical service, maintained that, while It was the province of the military surgeon to act In a humanitarian capacity, his flret object should be to inenass the effi ciency ef the army. He said that sur geons should send back boms the sol diers who wen unfitted for action. NEW TONNAGE TAX, Psyne-Aldrich Act Has First Innings. Decreases Income. Washington, Oct. 7. Collection of the new tonnage tax of 2 cents pre scribed for in the recently passed Payne-Aldrleh tariff act begins today. The new law provides that the tonnage duty of 2 cents per ton, not to axossd in the aggregate 10 cents per ton In any one year, be imposed at every en try on all vessels from any foreign port or place in North America, Cen tral America, the West India islands. the Bahama islands or the coast of Sooth America, bordering on the Car ibbean sea, or Newfoundland, and a duty of 6 esnts per ton, not to axossd (10 esnts per ton per annum an imposed at every entry on all vessels from any other foreign port, not, however, to in duce vessels In distress or not engagsd in trade. The new t-eent rate amounts virtu ally to a decrease of 1 cent from the rates heretofore in effect. Naturally, tba decreased rate will have a tendency to lower the receipts from the tonnage taxes, and It to estimated by the de partment of commerce and labor that ths annus! income will amount to $1, 060,000, per year, or more than $600, 000 lees than was collected annually odor ths old law.
