WASHINGTON DIPLOMATS ANX-
IOUs.
Washington. March 23.-The question
Of Chinese indemnities has given way
for the moment TO the more pressing
issue over the contamination of the
Russo-China agreement, relating TO
Manohurla. The latter subject has
reached a decisive stage as only three
days remain within which China cab
confirm or reject the agreement. Up to
the present time neither the state de-
partment nor the Chinese minister has
received any report that China has re
jscted the treaty.
There naturally Is much anxiety In
official and diplomatic quarters as TO
the outcome. for the active part taken
by the various powers and the threat
ening attitude Of Japan, Alving unusual
Importance TO the conclusions 10 be
reached within the next few days, The
Chinese minister today had confer
ence with Secretary Hay, the Manchur-
ian question being the chief question
Of discussion. The minister brought no
definite information. however, as to
what has been done on the agreement.
So far as the United States is con-
cerned II seems likely that the last
word has been spoken and there is not
expected TO be any decisive move or
protest beyond what already has been
given. Al the same tiine VI is aDpreci-
ated that the United States has large
commercial interests IN Manchurla
which cannot but be affected If China's
authority there Is practically trans
ferred TO Russia.
