Viceroys Chang Chih-tung and Yuan Shih-kai, seeing that there is nothing else to be done, have withdrawn their objections.
The Japanese Minister, Mr. Uchida, has strongly objected, his latest protest being to the effect that, in case China secretly decides to concede any points which have not received Japan's previous assent, Japan will take her own course of action.
Prince Ching is in an awkward position betw-en Russia's demands and Japan's objections. His visit to Mr. Conger, the U.S. Minister, last Tuesday, had for its object to beg Mr. "!Conger's friendly interference to soften the Japanese objections, which the American' Minister declined to do, considering the task a hopeless one.
