The government leader. AIR. Balfour declared
he had never heard adjournment suggested

sirable that Lord Lansdowne should have sent

The Indian Secretary. Lord George Hamilton,
explained that the relations between Great
Britain and Russia in China at time
critical. If a collision had occurred it would
have been difficult foresee the ultimate
sequences. Therefore il was impossible to make
a statement until the negotiations had reached a
final satisfactory settlement. Lord LansdOwne
only received the acceptance by Russia of the
terms suggested by Great Britain as he was
leaving the Foreign Office for the House of
Lords. Lord LansdoWne possessed facts which
were unknown to any other minister, and, know
ing how far the negotiations had gone, he felt
he ought to tell the House when asked a Ques

RUSSIA AND MANCHURIA.
REPORT THAT THE TREATY WILL BE
SIGNED WITHOUT CHANGE.

Shanghai March 23.-"The North China Daily
News asserts that Chinese telegram has been
received from the North. affirming that the
Russo-Chinese treaty will be signed March 70.
with not single word changed.
London. March 22.-The Foreign Office takes
a pessmstic view of the immediate future in
the Far East in spite of the settlement of the
Tien-Tsn incident. and entertains grave fears
that the relations between Japan and Russia
may shortly reach the danger point.
The British Government has received Off
cal confirmation that the japanese fleet is mo-
bilizing: but it would not be surprised to learn
that such was the fact.
The secretary of the Japanese Legation said
to-day in the course of an interview:
While rejoicing at the fact that England and
Russia have reached pacific settlement over
the minor issue, the main question, the inteSr-
ty of the Chinese Empire. remains unsettled. In
response to pressure brought by Japan upon
Russia, it was announced that Russias secret
treaties with China had been modified but the
terms have been withheld. Until we see the trea-
ties, we will not be satisfied that the modifca-
ton does not consist of words merely, without
any alteration in the spirit. In this contention,
we believe other powers will support us.
1t appears that Great Britain would be quite
willing to refer the whole Manchurian matter
to arbitration the lines of The Hague Con-
ference.
Replying to a question in the House of Com
mons to-day to whether the government pro-
posed to ask Germany to act with reference to
Russia's action in Manchuria, the Foreign I'm
der Secretary, Lord Cranborne replied that the
Russian Government had repeatedly declared
its intention to respect the integrity of China
and the British Government was not aware that
Russia had infringed it.

Cranborne's recent references in the House of
Commons to the application of the Anglo-G Ger
