BERLIN, March s-The Tageblatt's
correspondent, who has been travelling in
Northern Manchuria, Mongolia. and on
the borders of Siberia and China for a.
year, and whose reports hitherto have
been correct, has furnished his paper
with long letter which is published
today, containing interesting details re-
gard1ng the Russo-Chinese agreement on
the subject OF Manchuria, Mongolia and
Turkestan. He says he is absolutely
certain that the published version of
this agreement is in no way near the
actual truth. He then proceeds to give
1acts concerning the proposed internal
administration of that part of China,
demonstrating that Manchuria will be-
come IN lntregal part of Russia, more
so than even Bokhara. In regard to
Mongolia, he says there is no doubt a
protectorate has been established, as
this is evidenced by the hoisting of Rus
sian flags everywhere, the thorough or
ganiZation of the district the establish
ment of tax collecting offices and the
opening of branches of Russo Chinese
banks with no one but Russian officials
in charge. All this virtually has taken
place during the past six months and
began before the Boxer outbreak. The
clearest evidence, however, is contained
in an army order issued by Gen. erode
koff to the Siberian troops, in which
the general said:
You have nobly fulfilled your task of
defending line 1900 kilometers long on
the frontiers of the Russian empire from
Urga (Mongolia) to Kho Shun, and have
thrown back the enemy across this
threatened line"

Won BUELOW WNON-COMMITTAL
concerning Chancellor Won Buelow's
enunciations on Anglo German relations
and on President McKinley's inaugural
speech have appeared here The opinion
is expressed by the leading neWspapers
that the chancellor, in his speech. omit
ted to give any information about the
most important points of Germans for
eign policy. The Berlin Volkszeitung and
other papers wonder why Count Won
Buelow did not answer Herr Schaedler's
centrist Interpolation regarding the act
Cal condition of the triple alliance and
about Russia. The Press now says that
the inference is plain that something is
wrong with both Italys strong anti
triple alliance party has grown stronger
in the new Italian cabinet, and an atten-
tive ear could hear that the wire with
Russia is either broken or badly In need
of repairs"
RAP AT RUSSIA.
One sentence used by the chancellor in
his speech, aimed solely at Russia has
given great offense in that country This
was Count Won Buelow's quotation from
Frederick the Greats instructions TO his
ambassador at St Petersburg. saying he
Fredericl1) would be glad to continue
Russias friend, but would never be Rus
sias slave.
Another of the chancellor's expressions,
namely that great monarchs had no REL
atives," has displeased the emperor
and the Anglophiles at court and in the
army. The Kleine Journal, which is
much read at court, first called attention
to this expression. The German high
class ne ~spapers recognize the fact that
Count Won Buelow could not speak more
plainly about foreign relations under tho
present delicate state of international
politices Even the Cologne Volkszeitung
and the Vossische Zeitung agree with
this comment on Won Bueiow's remark.
ABUSE FOR MKINLEY.
number of German papers say that
President Mckinley in his inaugural ad-
dress failed to map out the administra-
tons programme The Boersen-Zeitung
Monday last printed an abusive article,
in which President Mckinley was refer
red to in uncomplimentary terms, and in
which the hope was expressed that in
1904 Mr. Bryan VIII have better political
issues.
STATUS OF AMERICAN MEAT.
Herr Bebel Socialist LEADER made a
strong attack in the reichstag upon the
imperial government concerning the
meat inspection law, citing the fact that
! the German troops in China were htted
out with the same American canned
meats which the law now rretends are
unwholesome, therefore, the whole law
| is i mere pretext since the navy depart
/ ment surely would not issue TO the navy
! food considered TO be death-dealing.
Herr Bebel said the whole law WAS for
| the benefit of the agrarians. The gov
| ernment officials made very weak de-
| fense in reply.
| The imperial government has lately as
sumed n much milder attitude towards
| Alsace-Lorraine.
