RUSSIA AND CHINA
WEIGH HEAVILY ON our STATE
DEPARTMENT.
RUSSIANS ARE SECRETIvE.
EXACT TERMS OF AGREEMENT
STILL UNKNOWN.

State Department Opposed 40 All Ar
rangements of This Kind-If Not
Checked Now VIII Lead to Parti-
tiOn of Chinn-RussIa, of Course,
Agrees to Return China in the
Course of Time, or Eternity-Rus-
sin still Cinching Her Hold In
Manchuria.
Washington, March 14.-Our government
has not yet been able to obtain anything
like an official sta tement of the contents
of the alleged agreement between Russia
and China respecting the protectorate over
Manchuria. The State Department has
from the beginning sought to discourage
any kind of secret arrangement touching
China, so that the Russian agreement, re-
gardless of its details, is Objectionable
from this point of view.
The opposition to the Russian move has
not drystalized up to this moment, and it
is felt that there is every prospect of a
Russia and China, unless the other Pow
ers, who now hang undecided, speedily
come to the determination to oppose it.
In view of this impending crisis, the
officials here would regard as of second
ary Importance the negotia tions
still in progress at Pekin respecting in
IDENTITIES and punishments were il not
for belief that there is grave danger
that by an undue insistence by the minis
tiers at Pekin upon the collection of inn
possible indemnities and the continuance
of punitive measures the United States
government will be obliged, in Difference
to pubic sentiment here, to maintain an
attitude of exact neutrality and withhold
any assistance that might otherwise be
reasonably requested, in the greater pur-
pose of checking the. consumma ton of an
agreement which is almost certain to re-
suit in the partition of China
The ManchurIan Agreement
Such information as has come to the
hands of officials indicates that the Rus
sian agreement consists of twelve articles,
not nine as has been published. The
chief concern of the officials here has
been to learn how far these articles af-
feet the permanent future of Manchuria.
On their face, it is said they show a re-
turn of Manchuria to China, which would
seem to be quite in keeping with the de-
sire of all the Powers. But this is ac-
coInpnsned upon certain conditions, i'm
posed upon China, and il is understood
that these conditions, in effect establish
Russian suzerainty over Manchuria
with a Russian official occupying the
chief executive position, quite similar TO
that of the British viceroy of India
Chinese affairs received considerable at
tentfon at the State Department to-day a.
the Chinese minister, the British ambassa-
dor and Russian ambassador followed each
other in lengthy conferences with Mr.
Hay. II is understood that in the infor-
NAL discussion with Count Cassini, an
earnest intimation was conveyed to him
that it would be most helpful in dealing
with the subject if a clear and explicit
understanding of Russia's plans in this
particular matter were forthcoming.

Will Establish Stations Along Coase
So That Vessels May COmmuni-

New York, March n-Signor Marconi,
the demonstrators Of wireless telegraphy,
who arrived here to-day, said he expect
ed to remain in the United States but
few weeks.
"One of the reasons for my visit" said
he, "is to establish wireless telegraph
stations along the coast so that vessels
arriving and departing can communicates
with the shore. Some of the companies
are supplied with Instruments but are
unable to use them as there are no sta
tions. The North German Lloyd line will
use the wireless system of reporting, but

M'LAURIN NOT A DEMOCRAT.
HIS Name Left on the senate Caucus
Roll After "a Conference Had
with Him by MIR. Jones.

Washington, March Ex-senator Nc
Laurin is quoted as having sent TO a
South Carolina newspaper a denial that
he has requested that his name be strick-
en- from the Democratic caucus roll.
Senator McLaurtn's name is not on the
Democratic caucus rool Of the Senate
and the decision to leave It off was
reached after conference which Senator
Jones had with Senator McLaurin him
self. The matter was left practically in
Senator McLaurin's hands to say wheth-
er or not he considered himself eligible
to caucus membership.
Almost Immediately after Senator Jones
had this talk with Senator McLaurin. the
Democrats in the Senate held caucus
with Senator Jones presiding and Sen
ator Carmack of Tennessee, acting as
secretary. The roll was made up and
noses counted. and Senator McLaurin't
name was left off the roll for reasons
which are perfectly apparent to those who
have watched his votes on matters Of a
political nature.
Whether Senator McLaurin considers
himself a Democrat or endorses the con-
fident claims of the Republican leaders
that they are more certain of his vote
than they are of some men elected as
Republicans, or whether he classes him

clamation the flags on every public build
