Territory Which Russia Will Annex.
From the New York Times.
Most of the recent reports from st. Pc
tersburg and Pekin say that Russia has no
intention of abandoning Manchuria and
that, while she will adhere to her declara-
ton that she will seize no territory In
China proper, she will eventually colonize
and govern Manchuria as a province of St
IBERIA. The latest report bearing on this
subject Is that the Manchurian railways
Will henceforth be regarded as Russian gov
eminent property.
In the minds of most westerners, Man.

Very few travellers have penetrated into
the country, .and the popular Ignorance
about it Is almost as great as with re-

British army has explored Manchuria. and

lively little attention need be paid to the
progress Of events in thai distant portion
of the world. But Manchuria Is no such
desert country. 1t is. on the contrary,
scarcely less than that ot the Transvaal
itself, and compared to which the whole OF
Central Africa. from Uganda to Khartoum,
Is of paltry insignifcance.4N
