prouoSes to Have Chinese Figure
uinted That Russia Inspired the
charges of Barbarity Against the
German TrOops-The state of At
sairs Makes British Feel Uncom-
Portable.
London, Jan. 2.-The Pekin correspond
ami of the Daily Mail, wiring Jan. l. says:
RUSSIA by Cancellation is trying to seS
cnre special advantages and there is a
strona belief that she will reveive Ameri-
can support. 1t is limited that Russia in
enired unfounded charges of barbarity
apainst the German troops, her motive be-
ing to sow dissensions between Great Brit
ain and Germany"
In a dispatch to the Times from Pekin,
dated Dec 81, DR.. Morrison gives the text
Of the Russo-Chinese agreement for the
Russian protection of /the Manchurian
province of Fen Ting. Russia, he says,
consents that China shall resume the civil
government on the following conditions:
First, the Tartar Gen Tseng, under
takes to protect and pacify the province
and to assist in the construction of the
railroad
Second, he must kindly treat, feed and
lodge Russians engaged in the military &C.
cupaton and in the protection of the rail-
way.
Third he must disarm and disband the
Chinese soldery, delivering 90 the Rus
slams all munitions of war in such arse
nails as the Russians have not yet occu-
pied
province not occupied by the Russians,
and all powder magazines not required by
them must be dismantled in the presence
OF Russian officials.
Fifth Niu Chwang and other places
now in Russian occupation shall be re-
stored to the Chinese civil administration
when Russia is satisfied that the pacifica-
ton of the province is complete.
Sixth. The Chinese shall maintain law
and order by local police under a Tartar
general.
Seventh. A Russian political resident,
with general powers of control shall be
stationed at Mukden, to whom the Tarter
NeueTdl ISeHS must give All Information
respecting any important measure.
Eighth In the event of the local po-
lice being insufficient for any emergency,
Gen. Tseng will notify the Russian resi-
dent and invite Russia to send reinforce
ments.
Ninth. The Russian text shall be the
standard.
The functions given the Russian resi-
dent" says DR.. Morrison, ARE similar
@ those of the Russian resident in Box
hara, or those of the British residents
in the native states of India.
THE agreement viii necessarily be fol-
lowed by similar agreements with refer
ence to the other two provinces. Then
Manchura will be de facto a Russian pro-
tectorate, Russia by a pre-eXisting ar
rangement having already the right to
maintain all troops necessary for the pro-
lection of the railway"
London, Jan. 3.-Commenting upon the
information transmitted by DR.. Morrison
the Times says:
The problem raised is very serious.
The agreement is utterly irreconcilable
with Russia's professed attitude toward
China, and the assurances she has volun-
teered to the Powers. In fact, the situa-
ton contemplated by the Anglo-German
agreement seems definitely to confront
