MANCHURIA Is
NOT DESIRED.
Russia Would Not Take The Province
as a Gift.
ONLY WANTS RAILROAD RIGHTS.
Would Have to Keep an Army on the
Frontier, and Cannot Spare 1t
From Her Southern
Borders.

London, April ST. was fortunate
enough this morning to enjoy long con-
versation with one of the foremost secre-
taries of the Russian Legation, who talk
ed freely and openly, but who, OF course
requested not to be quoted by name.
81 wish the American people would un-
derstand that we are perfectly honest when
we say we do not desire, even if it should
be offered. the annexation of Manchuria'
All that we desire is the absolute control
of our railroad running through the pro-
vince.
"The possession of Manchuria would be
a double weakness to us at present, Tor
the bulk of our army is concentrated on
the German and Austrian frontiers to the
extent of about 100000 men, and nat
urally. therefore, we shrink from the idea
of finding an equal number of troops to
protect the Chinese frontier against Chi
nese immigration into Eastern Siberia
THIS immigration is already recognized as
menace. The Chinese swarm is to such
an extent already that it is necessary Tor
our Siberian officials to speak Chinese III
order 10 transact the necessary business.
"If Manchuria were Russian province
the Chinese would overwhelm and oust
the Russian settlers in Siberia. For sey'
eral weeks past we have been assuring the
British Foreign Office that Russia is
merely anxious to protect her own rail-
road and other interests in Manchurla,
and would not accept the province as
gift.
"The integrity of China is more essestlal
to us than to any other nation, ana we
are beginning to feel that it was an initial
mistake for us to Join the other Powers.
Had we been free the Chinese situation
would already have been cleared up to
the benefit Of all concerned.
"The Russians understand the Chinese
as no other nation does. The recent
troubles can undoubtedly be traced to the
seizure of Kiaochau by Germany. Ii
America and England had helped Russia
to make a decided protest then, the
world would have been spared the terrible
happenings of the last six months.
"However, we are now fully assured
that everything will be peaceably and
comfortably settled, and we look forward
to the withdrawal of the allied troops
from Pekin very shortly. If Russian adj
vice had been taken, indeed, they would
be no longer there now.

Washington, Oct. 9.-There has been
no surrender by England to the United
States in the matter of the new 18th
milan canal treaty, according to the best
authority here. It is said to be equally
true that the United States has sacri-
feed no principle in these negotiations.
and the effect of contrary statements is
deprecated as likely to serious jeop-
ardize the chances of the contamination
of the convention which shall finally
and peacefully settle an issue that has
been source OF danger for the past
fifty years.
1t is said that what actually has hap
pened is that each side has preserved
the underlying principle Of the Clayton
Bulwer treaty, and the new convention

world. The Ciayton-Bulwer treaty,
drawn half a century ago. has
proved to be defective in mechanism
for giving effect to this purpose. The
Kew treaty simply provides this mech.

guarantee, which in her case was only
troublesome, and which, being assumed
by the United States in total is quite as,

point of view, there was no surrender

Washington. Oct. 9.-Horrible stories
of murder and atrocity are contained in

which have reached the war department.
Five natives seized, bound and carried
from their horses three Filipino resi-
dents of the town of Pozorrubio. tDgeth-
er with an Igorrote harvester named
Quivas. Conveying these .captives to an
isolated spot, they murdered them with
holos, and added to the horror Of their
crime by assaulting the women of the
families of their victims The motive
for the deed appeared to rave been re-

Wonderful Results Recently
Effected BY Compound.

Buffalo, Oct s, 1so1.-An evening pa
per publishes Symposium of physi-
clans opinions regarding the efficacy
of various remedies for the cure of
nervous prostration and attendant ills.
Each physician was asked to express
his opinion, fret, whether those diseases
were durable when once they had
gained hold upon the patient and,
second, whether the same remedy
would be beneficial in all cases.
Without exception, the physicians in
terviswed declared that nervous pros
tration, when not too far advanced, in
somnla, rheumatism, indigestion. re-
sulting, as 1t most frequently does, from
deranged nerves. dizzy headaches. and
most liver and kidney complaints,
were absolutely durable.

was most remarkable. because, with
two exceptions. all the doctors mem

Paris, Oct. 9.-The Temps says 1t
views with alarm the constantly dimin-

returns for September show that the re-
ceipts were 2o,0Ooo00 francs below the
estimates and the receipts for nine
months show deficit of ninety million

that this shrinkage has occurred at a
time when the country Is at complete

condition Is a further loan, altho the

The Temps traces the present condi-
