Peking, Sept. 29.
The Japanese may be able to jui fy the occupation of the Weihsien railway station, but it is doubtful if they will be able to satisfy the suspicious Chinese. There was no popular clamour in the country when the Government bowed to the inevitable and provided an area where-the belligerents might develop their warlike tendencies; but jealous eyes were watching to seo if the limits set down by the Government, should be exceeded, and a voice of protest arose from many quarters when it became known that Japan-exe troops had penetrated to Weihsien, Many telegrams arrived in Peking complaining of the presence of the Japanese, and others declared that a movement still further westward was under way; some despatches stating definitely that Tsinanfu was the objective of a large Japanese force.
The Japanese Legation declare that this is not true, but their protestations are falling upon deaf ears so far. The Chinese Government promptly lodged a protest against the violation of her-neutrality, and. asked that Japanese troops be withdrawn to the area set out by the Government shortly after the Japanese originally landed on Chinese sail. So far Japan has not replied.
