Washington, Sept. 12. Ambassator
Guthrie, at Tokio, cabled the State
department today that the Japanese
foreign minister had informed him
there was nothing in Japan's demands
upon China in connection with the
Cheng Chiatun incident that infringed
the sovereignty of China or impaired
the Root-Takahira agreement'
1 In making public the report the de
partment revealed the fact that the
ambassador had been instructed to
advise the foreign office that the re
port of the demands published in this
country had greatly disturbed the
American government, which "trust
ed that it was not true."
The State department's announce
ment follows:
"The department on September 6 in
structed the American ambassador at
Tokio to call the attention of the Jap
anese foreisn office to the report pub
lished in American newspapers of cer
tain demands made upon China by
Japan in consequence of a disturbance
of the peace at Cheng-Chiatun, involv
ing Chinese and Japanese troops. The
ambassador was instructed to ask for
a statement of the facts and to inform
the foreign office that the report of
the demands made had greatly dis
turbed the American government,
which trusted that It was not true.
"Today, September 12, a message
has been received from the embassy
at Tokio saying that the Japanese
minister of foreign affairs had replied
to nis inquiries that some ot tne items
reported as included in Japan's de
mands were approximately true, but
that others were colore1 by a mixture
it untruth and exaggeration, tie
rated that there was nothing in the
demands infringing the.soveretgnty of
Ch'na and nothing impairing , the
Roo'-Takaliira agreement-"
."The clash at Cheng-Chiatun hair
ing been between military forces
was of a serious character, ajid there
fore in order to prevent recurrence
of such trouble Japan waa requesting,
in addition to- proper apologies and
monetary compensation, that Japan
ese officers should be reappointed as
instructors in the cadet school (prob
ably at Mukden) and suggesting tnat
the Chinese government should ask
the appointment of Japanese advisers
to be stationed with the ' Chinese
garrisons in South Manchuria and
eastern Mongolia and that as an
extension .of its extra territor
ial rights; the Japanese ' govern
ment should be permitted to station
Japanese policemen in towns where
there are large Japanese settlements.
"The American minister at Peking
reports more briefly very nearly to
the same effect; that is to say that the
Japanese government has demanded
the stationing of Japanese -police in
towns where Japanese reside and the
appointment of Japanese advisers to
the Chinese police and the appoint
ment of Japanese military instructors
in addition to the usual indemnities
and apologies."
Ambassador Guthrie's report of the
demands substantially is the same as
that which caused the State depart
ment's inquiry, although the Japanese
and Chinese interpretations of the de
mands are widely different. Further
than the formal statement, depart
ment officials declined to comment,
although it was indicated that more
information would be sought before
the attitude of the American govern
ment, was determined.
By" the Root-Takahira agreement,
Japan and the United States again
pledged the integrity of China and
agreed to advise each other officially
as to any steps which might change
the status quo. The Japanese position
is that the present demands do not
threaten the status quo and conse
quently it was not necessary that the
United States be advised in advance,

in Maine., The upstanding thing is the

ed the progressives would cut Mr.
Hale and that Johnson, their candi
date, would be" elected. The returns
show that about 85 per cent of the
progressives of Maine voted for, Hale
and that a' much larger percentage

Meant Democratic Victory.
Senator Thomas J. Walsh, manager
of the western democratic headquar
ters, said: '
"The returns from Maine presage
the election of Woodrow Wilson in
November. An analysis of the fig
ures point indubitably to the result.
They show a plurality of Fernald
over Sills for senator of 12,000. John
son, who is personalty strong, is said
to be defeated by 900. The contest
between the two gentlemen first
named is a fair measure of the rela
tive strength of the two parties in
the state. It may accordingly be
concluded that Maine has' gone re
publican by about 12,000.
"Now, it was carried by that party
by a plurality of approximately 29,
000 in 1910. 37.000 in 1908. 'while the

" Meant Hughes' Election.
New York, Sept. 12. Statements
regarding the elections in Maine were
issued here today by William R. Will
cox and Vance C. McCormick, repub
lican and democratic chairmen, both
men speaking optimistically of the
probable result of the elections in No
vember. "I regard the result , In Maine as an
earnest indication of the election of
Hughes and Fairbanks," Mr. Willcox
said. "It proves that we are reunited
and it, of course, means success."
; Mr. McCormick said:
"It seems to me that when a candi
date for United States senatorial hon
ors in Maine can carry his state by
only 10,000 it indicates the election of
President Wilson. This year I do
particularly belie in the outcome be
cause ot the unquestioned personal
strength of President Wilson in
Maine. He is far stronger than the
local ticket. Also it is significant that
President Wilson won the state with
51,000 votes four years ago, but John
son yesterday received 68,000 votes.

INTERESTING STATEMENTS
The news of the smashing repub
lican victory in Maine has made smil
ing (aces on' local republicans today.
Everyone who talks voices the en
couragement for republican success all
long the ...joe, which it derived from
this outfjpme. Here are a few expres
sions: ievXj '" .1,.
i A. W. Jefferis, state executive com
mitteeman; "Maine's republican ma
jority proves that the people of that
state nave, repudiated tne unnerwooa
tariff, law,' a measure that discrimi
nates against the farmer and the pro
ducer. It is further proof that the
progressives still recognize Theodore
Roosevelt's advice as a staunch cap
tain and have cemented the ranks of
the republican party. The next con
gress will be republican, and it strikes
me that Mr. Wilson is going through
a graveyard to gain courage."
Frank S. Howell, chairman of the
republican county committ?e: "The
election in Maine wilt have a wonder
ful effect on the entire nation. It
means that the Wilson administration
is due for a jolt Before the election
the democrats claimed that a demo
cratic majority in Maine would fore
cast the result at the November elec
tion. Now that the republicani have
rolled up a' majority they are dis
counting the victory. The Maine re
sult will have an unusual effect on
many voters who are neither repub
licans nor democrats. The support of
these independents may be counted on
by forces working for the republican
ticket and Charles Evans Hughes."
Joseph H. Millard, former United
States senator: "I am feeling pretty
good over the Maine election. The re
sult is very srratifvinir. and when vou
consider what has been going on there
during tne last tew years, in a political
way, every genuine republican ought
to feel very happy over the outcome.
I am of the opinion that what hap
pened in Maine is an indication of
what is to occur all along the line in
November." ...
Benjamin S. Baker, candidate for
congress: "The battle in Maine was
waged on national issues. The demo
crats tent their cabinet officers and
other strong men, as did the republic
ans, and the national issues were thor
oughly discussed. The people voted
intelligently sand the result certainly
was a strong indication of the feeling
of the people throughout the country
and it indicative of the outcome in
November." ,
