(By Asso ciated Press.)

Washington, Sept. 26.-The state de-
partnent has received from Commercitl
Agent Greener. at Vladivostock. under
date Of July p, a comprehensive report
on conditions in Manchuria
Mr.. Greener says there is much exag-
geration as to the number of Russian
troops in Manchuria. He places their
number at about 10000.
Manchuria, he says, is one of the most
fertile countries on the globe and there
are no better crops in all Asia.
''Tha Manchu,' says Mr. Greener,
has barely scratched the surface, and
yet the business activity, the actual traf-
f1c and the tangible results are contin-
ual surprise
American goods are already known and
favored on account of their cheapness.
The area Of gold fields in Manchuria,
says Mr.. Greener, extends more than 12S
miles along the shores of the Argm ana
Amur rivers, and there is no doubt as
to the richness Of the mines.
Only Russians and Chinese may go into
the country overland. 1t would not be
safe, he says for many foreigners to VEN
ture into he country now.

In regard to invitations to other

The papers fear that his mission in
Germany has not resulted in the int
preston it was meant to draw on the
mind of the emperor.
The attentions paid to him may have
obliterated from his mind all thoughts
of the gravity of the crime which it
was intended that the mission should
expiate.
Chun has already been cheered by
thoughtless crowds in Germany. and
may regard himself as the hero Of the
hour.
His future influence in the Chinese
court is regarded as toe problenla tcal
for it to be worth while to make efforts
to impress upon him the superiority Of
European civilization.

STRENGTHENING FREIGHT RATES

Rates to ST. Paul are in bad condition,
but this is nothing unusual, and is ac-
counted for by the competition of the
lake transportation routes. This, how
ever. will soon be remedied, it was sain,
through the closing of lake navigation,
and the western lines have already an
nounced an advance in rates in anticipa-
ton of this, the new tariffs going into
effect Oct. 81.
In this connection, it is interesting to
note also that trunk line officials are now
considering further changes in classif-
cation which, if adopted, will practically
increase rates on many kinds of mer-
chandise.
