MANCHURIA TREATY.
1t May Be Signed Yet, Says Dispatch
From st. Petersburg.
WHAT AGREEMENT MEANS.
According to Russian Authority 1t
Is Designed For Protection of Ex-
listing Interests, Not For Pur-
poses of Acquisition.

st. Petersburg, March 27.-It is de-
clarsd on competent authority that the
Russo Chinese agreement will proba-
bly, be signed shortly. But the negotia-
tions continue, and the result is not
yet certain. The details will possibly
be slightly modified, but the arrange
ments will be substantially as de-
manded.
According to the Russian point of
view, an abatement of what are here
regarded as moderate demands would
be inconsistent with Russian interests
and not sufficiently safeguard the from
tier and railroad.
The draft of the agreement now be-
ing discussed does not mention and
does not affect Mongolia or Turkestan.
1t concerns Manchuria exclusively.
Mongolia or Turkestan has, it is stat
ed, never been included in the formal
draft, but they formed subject, with
Manchuria, of an exchange of ideas
preliminary to formal negotiations.
The agreement will be designed for
the protection of existing interests and
rights and not for the acquisition of
new things.
What Russia Seeks.
1t is automatically admitted that
Russia is seeking certain guarantees
for future security, and 1t is positively
certain that no powers have protested,
even Japan refraining from this at
tempt to interfere between two other
governments. However. the Japanese
minister discussed this and other
phases of the Chinese question with
the foreign Office.
The statement of the japanese for
eign minister that Japan will neces-
sarily demand compensation if the
agreement is signed has not made a
decisive impression. z
Russia does not object to the prin-
ciple of Count Won Bulow, the Ger
man imperial chancellor that the
agreement will not diminish substan-
TALLY China's ability to pay an in
demnity, since the arrangement pro-
tects, or at least does not affect, the
existing commercial rights of other
nations in Manchuria
China will continue collecting Gus
toms dues in Manchuria.

DECREE BY EMPEROR.
1t Ordered That Treaty should Not
he Signed March 20.

ne siShtu Marcu 20.
London, March 27.-The officials of
the Japanese embassy confirm the re-
port than an imperial decree has been
issued by the court at Shan-Fu,
through Liu-Kun-Yi, the vjceroy of
Nankin, ordering that the Manchurian
convention should not be signed March
26. the date fixed by Russia. An in
timation of this decree has been tele-
graphed to the various governments
concerned.
A dispatch from Peking says: "It has
been learned that there is slight
division of opinion among the powers
as to the method that China should
adopt for paying the indemnities to be
demanded by the various governments
THE American government proposes
that the payments shall be gradual. ex-
tending over period of not more than
30 years. Germany insists. however.
that the money shall be paid at once
through the medium of Il foreign loan.
as the Chinese themselves at the pres
ent time are only able to meet the in
terest and small part of the principal
of their outstanding obligations.
The Chinese favor the American
view. Some people think it is doubtful
if the total amount of the indemnities
to be demanded will ever be paid.
THE ministers of the powers do not
consider that the murder of Rev. j.
Stonehouse of the London Missionary
society, killed by Chinese brigands
IA miles east of Tien-tsn recently. af-
fects the Chinese situation politically.
They are perfectly aware that the coun-
try around Shi-Nan is infested with
robbers. who are naturally hostile to
foreigners and would take such an op-
portunity. as in the present case. to
kill one. Mr.. Rockhill, the special com.
missioner of the United States, says he

Salem, Mass, March 27.--John G.
Best, the defendant in the murder

POLAND MAY REVOLT.
Trouble For the Gar Appears In {
New Quarter.
RUMoRs OF WARSAW PLOT.
Stated That a Conspiracy Is Under
Way There to Start Rebellion
For Restoration of the
Old Polish Monarchy.

Berlin, March 81. "A letter from
Warsaw states that the police of all
Polish cities have been admonished to
renewed vigilance In the detection of
plots against the czar.
All is quiet at present in Warsaw,
but it is rumored that a plot is on foot
to bring about another Polish insurrec-
tion and the restoration of the old Po-
lish monarchy.
A number of persons who feared ar
rest on suspicion have gone over the
frontier into Galicia.
The Vorwaerts publishes "inside
news" from Russia to the effect that
the number of students enrolled In the
army is still increasing and now ex-
ceeds 1000.
According to the same authority an
eX-student named Piratoff, who was
enrolled, was executed March % in
Kiev because of INSTRUMENTATION, and
two former students, Rybakoff and
Lanzetnik, will be tried for a similar
offense.
The Tageblatt's st. Petersburg CORE
spondent says the recall of Count Mu-
simultaneously, Russian military
attache at Paris, has been ordered and
that the Russian ambassador to France,
Prince Ouroussoff, will probably soon
be recalled.
Protest by Dragomiroff.
Messages from st. Petersburg state
that General Dragomiroff, command
ing the Kiev military district, will me-
morialize the czar through General Ku-
ropatlSin, minister of war, humbly pro-
testing against Furnishing students by
compulsory military service.
AS the names of those who have been
arrested on charges of being concern
ed in tile plot against the life of the
czar are becoming known, all Russia is
aghast.
Hundreds and hundreds of citizens
have been locked up all over Russia.
Many men of national prominence have
been cast into prison and are held with
out trial.
Persons high in social, political and
military life are victims of the zeal of
the police. Apparently the czar be-
licyes that the plot against him per-
meates all classes. and he knows no
one in whom he can place confidence.
The nervous strain is telling on him
tremendously, and in official circles
the opinion is held that he will die of
fright II he escapes assassination.
There is to be no let up in official
vigilance and force is to be used If
needed TO prevent further displays
against the policy of the government.

OUR MOROCCO CLAIMS.
Diplomacy Alone VIII Now BE UnsN
to Collect Them.


to Collect Them.
Washington, March 2I.-Secretary
Long has cabled an order to Admiral
Rodgers, on board the cruiser New
York at Tangier, to proceed at once
with that ve:sel to Manila.
This is an abandonment of the plan
to have the New York convey United
States Consul General Gummere from
Tangier to Mazagan in the attempt
to collect American claims.
1t is the purpose of the state depart
ment to endeavor to adjust these
claims and other outstanding issues
against Morocco without any show of
force and in the ordinary practice Of
diplomacy.
1t is said that the United States con-
sui general, who had conceived that
obstacles were purpOsely placed in the
way Of his access to the court, has re-
ceived assurances that the actual rea-
son for the departure Of the court from
Morocco was to pay long due visit to
another section of the country. 1t also
was promised that the court would re-
turn within month or six weeks and
would receive Mr.. Gummere, probably
even at Mazagan, thus obyiating the
necessity on his part for an overland
journey to the capital.
In this view of the case, and the
New York being badly needed in the
east to take the place Of the Newark
as a flagship, it was decided to let the
vessel proceed at once on her voyage.
Mr.. Gummere probably will now en-
ter into fresh communication with the
Moorish government to secure another
appointment for a meeting.
