CHINESE DIDN'T SIGN.
The Time Limit Expired and the
 Convention Wasn't Signed

Pekin, March 2s.-The Chinese had not signed the Manchurian agreement last night when the time expired.
 The ministers of the powers do not consider that the murder of Rev. J. Stonehouse, of the London Missionary society, who was killed by Chinese brigands If miles east of Tien Tsin. recently. affects the Chinese situation politically. They are perfectly aware that the country around Shi-Nan is infested with robbers. who are, natur- ally, hostile 10 foreigners. and would take such an opportunity. as in the present ease. to kill one.
 Unsafe to Travel Alone.
 Mir. Rockhill. the special commis- sioner of the United States, says he dees not consider it safe for people to travel alone in tne country dis tricts, and guards can not be supplied to the missionaries. Consequently those going into the country take considerable risk. The district in which the murder was committed is policed by foreign troops. There fore, China IS not officially responsi- ble. The foreign troops practically gutted Shi-Nan of everything worth taking, and the people there are in- dignant against all foreigners. The missionaries attribute the murder to the leniency of the powers toward China, which makes them seem to be afraid
 The ministers have many different views on the indemnity question which may result in considera ble de- lay in the negotiations on that sub- ject.
