NoT IMPoRTANr If TRUE.

NOT IMPORTANT IF TRUE.
NEW YORK. March 19.-A special tC
the Times from Washington says:
A Pekin report that Russia has con.
sented to modify the stringency Of hsr
control on Manchuria, which seems tc
give much satisfaction in London, is
regarded in diplomatic circles here as
Of no great Importance, even If true
An experienced diplomat said today:
Russia may actually abandon the
convention and tear 1t up without in the
least affecting her position except for
the better. II Russia should go as far
as to abandon the convention she
would have everything Of importance
which she can gain by IT, and would be
in better position before the world.
She is actually in Msnchuria and ex-
ercisins control OF It, which she can
strengthen or relax as she sees fit.
"A convention with China does not
give Russia's position the additional
strength which seems to be attributed
to IT, On the contrary, Russia can be
charged with having forced China to
make a convention which other pow
ers would not feel bound TO respect.
II she abandons the convention, this
charge cannot be made against her and
she would therefore be in a stronger
position morally. At the same time she
would not lose particle Of her actual
control Of Manchuria"

was perfectly satisfied that General

Major Foote, Ninth United States in
