WASHINGTON. Sept. 2S.-At the
Japanese legation today no official con-
frmation or the reported Japanese fn--
vasion of Manchuria and the reported
decisive victory of the Japanese near
Moukden. could be obtained, but the
reports were credited. 1t was pointed
out by the japanese that an invasion
OF Manehuria would be q direct result
OF the Japanese victory at Ping Wang,
and the diplomats at the legation were
willing to credit the news of a repeti-
tion OF the triumph of the soldiers of
the Mikado in the new territory.
The report from Paris OF a proyi-
sional agreement between Russia and
China said to have been effected in
July by which Russia agreed not to
cross Ssr Rikul range was regarded as
possible. if not probable. at the Japa-
nese legation. although the fact of it's
having been kept 80 long secret was
believed to initiate against its authen-
ticity. 1t was pointed out, however,
that such IN agreement made Just as
the trouble between China and Japan
was being precipitatei had no bearing
on that struggle and was probably
simply provisional settlement of the
Pamirian question which has long
been contention for the diplomats Of
the Chinese empire and czar. The Pa
miriam tablelands, inhabited by the
Tartars. lie on the north western from
'ier Of China, separating that country
from Asiatic Russia.
