question in the house of commons to-
day, whether the government proposed
to ask Germany to act with reference
to Russia's action in Manchuria, For
eign Secretary Lord Cranborne replied
that the Russian government repeated
ly declared it's intention to respect the
integrity of China, and the British gov
ernment was not aware that Russia in
fringed it.
LIBERALS RAISE A ROW.
London, March 22.-After questions
had been answered in the house of COM
mons to-day the Liberal leader Sir
Henry Campbell -Bannerman moved an
adjournment of the house in order to
call attention to the failure of the gov
ernment to give the house information
yesterday Of the settlement of the Tien
Tsin dispute. The whole opposition Sec
onded the motion. The government
leader, Mr.. Balfour declared he had not
heard an adjustment suggested on such
frivolous pretext. Perhaps it was de-
sirable that Lord Lansdowne should
have sent the information to the house,
but it was absurd to attack him (Bal-
four) for not doing so
The house then divided on the ques-
tion Of adjournment, which was defeat
ed by vote of $50 to 1853.

ISHED.
Berlin March pa dispatch to the
Cologne Gazette from Pekin says that

ed, threatening all anti-foreign socie-
ties with punishment.
