RICHEST OF THE GROUP.


BACOLOD, Island of Negros, March o.
The United States Philippine commission
has listened to quantity of testimony of
the conditions in the western part of Ne
gros island, which have tended to show the
island TO be agriculturally the richest in
the Philippines. Negros has lately been
afflicted with plague of locusts and has
been dissatisfied with the administration
of public offices, under the plan of self
government, which was established by Gen.
Otis, in 1899. Some natives have urged
that when the new provisional government
is organized that the officers thereof be
elected instead of mostly appointed, as
provided by the new law. The commits
sioners responded that these officers We're
practically elective, being chosen by the
municipal councillors. But they will con-
slider all suggestion and defer the organi-
zation of a civil government until they
have visited the other side of the island.
Later the delegates acknowledge they were
not successful in always securing the best
officials through elections. The fact that
the Island of Negros has already a sys-
tenn of civil government may render nec-
essary the establishment of a temporary
and provisional government to carry over
the affairs to the provincial government,
which is far more limited in character

JAPAN HOSTILE.
Objects to the Conclusion of the Rus
so-Chinese Agreement.

WASHINGTON. March 23.-The question
OF Chinese indemnities has given way for
the moment 70 the more pressing issue over
the consummatio of the Russian-China
agreement relating TO Manchuria. The lat
ter has reached decisive status, as only
three days remain in which China can con-
firm or reject the agreement. Up to the
present time neither the State Department
nor the Chinese minister has received any
report that China has rejected the treaty.
There naturally is much anxiety in official
and diplomatic quarters as to the outcome,
for the active part taken by the various
powers and the threatening attitude OF
Japan give unusual Importance to the con-
clusions to be reached within the next few
days The Chinese minister to-day had a
conference with Secretary Hay, the Man
churian question being the chief subject of
discussion. The minister brought no def
rite information. however, as to what has
been done on the agreement. So far as the
United States is concerned 1t seems likely
that the last word has been spoken, and
there IS not expected to be any decisive
move or protest beyond what has already
been given. AT the same time it is appre-
Gated that the United States has large
commercial interests in Manchuria which
cannot but be affected If China's authority
there IS practically transferred TO Russia.
The State Department has been made
aware Of the fact that the japanese gov
eminent has made a rather energetic pro-
test against the conclusion of the Russo
Chinese agreement relating TO Man
churia. This. however. has not been con-
veyed 10 the department by means of any
formal note or communication. but has
been verbal in character, and has been in
line with the well understood attitude of
opposition which Japan has manifested for
