ONE OF THE 57 Japan Makes 21 Demands on Pekin Government Special lo The Telegraph Pekirt, China, Jan. 27.—Certain po litical and territorial demands -which Japan has made upon China follow ing the Japanese occupation of Kiao- Chou have become known in Pekin and their extent is disquieting to Chinese officials. These demands, twenty-one in num ber, were communicated to the Chin ese government Saturday by the Japa nese minister here. They include: First. That China turn over to Ja pan all existing German and Austrian concessions. Second. That China shall pledge herself not to give concessions to any country except Japan. Third. Permission to build a special territorial railroad. Fourth. Mining privileges in Shant ung and Fokien Provinces; in Man churia. Eastern Mongolia and the Yang-tse Valley. If these demands were granted, it is felt in Pekin that the result would be equivalent to turning to Japan all the regions above named as sphered of in fluence, to the detriment of the treaty rights of other nations. Up to tha present time the Pekin government has not replied to tho Japanese note.
