BRITl'S TRADE Makes Serious Inroads In Yangtse River Says Chicago Broker SAN FRANCISO. Aug. 14. "Japan is rapidly making serious inroads on England's trade up the Yangtse river," remarked James B. Wilbur, a banker of Chicago, who arrived today In the liner Siberia from an 'extended tour of the Far East.

Wilbur came to San Francisco for a visit some months ago, and, upon the advice of a friend from the Orient, went out to China, Formosa, Korea and Japan to have a look at the business conditions. i "Though JaiAn has suffered much from the Tatsu Maru boycott of the Chinese, whose end apparently is far off," Wilbur said, "Japan Is making progress. Japan has fine vessels on the river, and is getting a wonderfully large amount of business, despite the efforts of the English. "The Koreans certainly know how to let life pass with the least possible amount of friction. The natives seem to believe that the Japanese are not working in their interests, but I believe they are.

"As for the Japanese in Manchuria, I think all this talk about their violation of the treaty and usurpation of rights not their own is not true. "Japan and China aro both friendly toward the United States. There will be no trouble with, either of them from all I learned." PROBATION IS DENIED MLLI0NAIRE BRADBURY 'SAN Aug. 14.

The population of West China is perhaps 60 000,000. and it is an empire in Itself, with no imports or exports.

An Internal tax Is levied on traffic. "The finest native Chinese city I saw anywhere was Chentu, of about 900,000 people, surrounded by a suburban population of 10,000.00. Chentu is marvelous-ly clean and thrifty, and Is on the Min tributary of the Yangtse.
