JAPSKEEP
FAITH IN
MANCHURIA
Toklo, July 21. The first of the
policies of the progressives to be In
augurated' In Japan was announced
today when an Imperial order wa
!rbiip1 illFAflliii that tha ntfnlrfl nf
the south Manchurlan railway com
pany and the administration of the
Kwantung province will be control
led hereafter by the minister o?
communications.
This takes the control of the much
disputed region of Port Arthur out
of the hands of the minister of war
and puts It in the control of what
corresponds to the secretary of state
In America: It Is regarded here aa
one of the biggest victories for the
progressives since the other Katiura
cabinet was dissolved before the
Russo-Japanese war and is but tho
beginning o( an era M retrenchment
on4he. part of newKAtsnr& cabinet.
The Imperial order Is the first ab
solute indication that Japan will
keep faith with Russlat England ans'
China, in 'the administration of the
Manchurlan railway as the army
will no longer be able to control the
destinies of the company. The tan
glel affairs of the railway cosspaa

Becrccy. It was not until late to

thoritatively Informed of the decis

Tho official roportB received hero
today that led to tho conference
stated that tho uprising, which start

because of .the failure of the sultan's

is feared, that tho uprising will be

The session was of an Jnforirl

Antlers at noon and immediately
after lunch resumed the serious con
