confirms the statement that China has
rejected the Manchurian treaty. The
correspondent says that the attitude
Of the Yangtse viceroys, who informed
the court that they would refuse to
recognize the convention even II it
were sigred. has carried the day. Ii
Hung Chang, who telegraphed Tuesday
urging the emperor to reconsider his
determination, has received an answer
hat the decision of the throne. which
is partly based on the unanimous adj
vice Of the chief provincial officials; is
irrevocable and that the convention,
cannot be signed. This decision has
possibly o yet been communicated to
Russia. Despite the Russian minister's
threat that Russia would tear up the
convention unless it was signed before
Tuesday, Russia appears now to hesi-
tate to slam the door. The negotiations
were certainly still proceeding on
March 81 between Ii Hung Chang and
M. de Giers, the Russian minister. The
latter has agreed to several, further
amendments Of the text, but these are
chiefly formal and inadequate.

Situation "a to Munchnria Treaty
Regarded Serious.
Washington, April 3. - Information
has been received here that Russia is
threatening the Chinese government
with punishment unless the Man
churian treaty is signed by the Chinese
plenipotentiaries. 1t is understood that
Russia has fixed a time limit within
which the signatures must be at
tached, but the exact period has not
been ascertained. The state depart
ment has received a dispatch from
Special Commissioner Rockhill dated
Pekin, March %, saying that up to that
time the Chinese plenipotentiaries,
acting under orders from their govern
ment. had failed to sign the Man
churian convention. The situation is
regarded here as very serious.
